She Is Your Mate

"Please come with me," the older woman standing in the room said. Oriana followed her towards the kitchen, where a temporary arrangement was set for her to concoct medicine. After consulting with Martha about Seren's food intake and her activities for the past week, Oriana made a list of herbs and handed it to another servant to gather.

While Oriana prepared the medicine. Martha stayed by her side as a helper, asking questions about each herb Oriana added. Oriana didn't mind it. She was basically a stranger, a very young one at that, preparing medicine for the sick queen. It was normal that they would not trust her even though she was Arlan's aide. 

Oriana found this to be a good chance to talk with Martha. 

"Miss Martha, my master mentioned you to me." 

She directly jumped to the point as she had no time to waste. 

The calm woman looked at her in surprise.
