.What is there to hide?

Raina was staring at him with a puzzled expression on her face, her eyes filled with irritation. She definitely lost all words because her mood was now totally ruined by the face that was continuously smiling at her. There was now one emotion in her mind. She really wanted to hit him in the face now.

However, she became stiff as the door to the room was knocked.

"Raina , this is the thing you asked for yesterday."

Raina let out a "Molly" exclamation.

Molly is the other maid who works in the kitchen with Raina and also helps her sometimes. Molly has a special hobby to help her survive because she comes from an impoverished household with many siblings and there is never enough food to feed them all.

Usually, before Molly's shift starts in the morning, she goes to the mountain to pick up herbs and mountain vegetables to support her family. Her family started a herb store and managed their business thanks to those plants and herbs. When Minella started screaming in anguish last night, Raina asked Molly for advice and asked for some herbs to ease Minella's discomfort. She claimed there was nothing in her store that could help Minella at night, but she promised to pick some up the next morning when she goes on a hunt.

She might now have brought the herb after her visit to the mountain.

Riana looks at Rufus and gloats fiercely as she grows terrified.

"If this guy has been seen by someone in my room, then it will be a disaster." Her hand started to tremble, and she bit her nails.

She looked at him and said, "You need to hide. If Molly sees you, she might whisper about this to some other ears. "

He grasped her hand, a shocked look on his face, and questioned, "Is she that frittening?"

Raina was biting her nails so hard that she was astonished when he abruptly took her hand away from her mouth. She swallowed her saliva when she felt him grasp her hand and jerked away from him out of instinct. She answered awkwardly, "Yes, since she is a whisper queen.

When Riana yanked her hand away from his, Rufus's face stiffened and he blankly stared at his hand for a time. Then, his expression abruptly changed into a smile as he asked, "Then should I kill her for you?"

"What!" Raina exclaimed out loudly enough for the hallway to clearly hear her voice.

"Hey Raina, Are you OK?" From the door, Molly questioned as she began to push the door open.

Raina whispered, "You can't do that," looking towards Rufus with a puzzled face and then pleading in a low voice, "Just leave please."

Raina jumped out of bed all of a sudden as she watched the movement of the door nob and quickly opened it before Molly did.

She stood at the front of the door and opened only a small portion of the door in order to talk with Molly.

With a phony grin on her lips, Raina greeted Molly "I'm OK, Molly.  You bring the herb for Minella, right?" as she flung open the door. ""I hope this was not hard for you to find this..." But she paused when she noticed Molly had a large number of herbs in her hand.

Molly gave a heartfelt smile to Raina in return, saying "it's not, you already know, my hobby." and adding, "You ask me the herb for a pain killer, but there are several kinds of herbs in the mountain which act on different parts of the body to relieve pain, which is why I bring all the herbs with me," while pointing out the herb. "I think that after assessing Minella's condition, I can recommend the one that is appropriate for her body." She applied pressure to the door with her back in an effort to force it open.

"But .." Raina closed the door again with another pressure.

"What?"

"You looked so panicked yesterday. I guess Minella's condition was really bad." Molly pushed the door again with her butt, this time giving Raina a confused look and adding, "move aside and let me check on her."

But Raina didn't move an inch away from the door, provoking Molly to inquire again, "What are you doing?"

Rolling her eyes, Raina stammers, "I..."

"What?"

Speaking in a waving voice, "you can give me this..." Raina grabbed the basket of herbs which Molly was holding.

Molly scuffs in irritation as she speaks, "I told you these are different herbs and have different capabilities, so I can't suggest which one is suitable until I take a look at the patient." Now budge up! " She entered the room, shaving Raina aside with the corner of the basket she was holding as she pushed the door open.

Riana concealed her face in fear when Molly entered the room because she was  anxious that Rufus's presence would be found. Her pulse was racing so quickly. She was very concerned while trying to think of an excuse so that Molly wouldn't break the beans about Rufus's presence in their room, but she was completely stumped, which caused her to panic even more. There was only one thing left for her to do, and that was to beg Molly to keep the incident quiet. Nevertheless, she was unsure of Molly's ability to keep the secret. But she reasoned that she ought to at least make an effort to convince Molly to conceal the truth regarding Rufus.

She turned around, removing the veil from her face, and said, "Molly please," faltering, as her eyes scanned the room in search of Rufus.

'He is not here?'

'So he actually left.' As she confirmed Rufus' leaving, she inhaled some energizing air.

"What now?" Molly queries. "Today you are really acting differently. It looks suspicious." A thick line on Molly's forehead that conveyed the look of distrust began to appear.

"What is there to hide?" She awkwardly smirked as she clumsily rolled away from her as she caught her eyes.

Raina pushed Molly towards Minella's bed, "I was just asking, please help Minella," with a pitiful face mixed with drama.

Raina stood near the window and took a look outside, as Molly was taking a look at Minella.

'Did he just leave by the window, because that is the only way to leave this room? He did say he was the wizard, which explains why I saw him floating in the sky at night yesterday. I forgot to ask him about Minella's condition. Why did she become like that yesterday? But I guess I've missed my chance now.'

Raina Why is Minella like this? Screaming in surprise, Molly asked. Raina, hearing her words, quickly walks towards Minella and looks.
