Chapter 87: Superior Medical Knowledge
Medicine that the humans had no access to.
Evanna’s eyes shone with the new possibility. If her comrades were to fail or the gem’s myth was not real, then this might be helpful.
Might. Evanna reminded herself of the many visits from the physicians, all shaking their heads, not knowing what was wrong with her mother. Over the months, she watched as her health slowly declined, the colour in her features became grey and hair becoming dull, her movements slow.
Reselda seemed to sense the hesitance in Evanna and took on a much calmer tone with her, "What is it you seek, my lady?"
Evanna composed her features once more and turned on the spot to face the she-elf. "I have a few questions. It is regarding a friend," Evanna begun.
Reselda eyed her and looked down at her belly, then outside the shop door. She took a step closer to her, taking one of her hands in hers, squeezing gently. "Do you wish to speak in confidant?" Reselda lowered her voice and looked at Evanna intently. Evanna peered at the guards and bit the inside of her cheek. "They cannot go against my rules of the practice," she continued.
Evanna nodded her head, and Reselda gestured towards a door that suddenly appeared behind the counter. That wasn’t there before.. Evanna blinked her eyes. Maybe, she was far too interested in the rest of the shop that she did not notice the door. Shaking her head, she walked towards the door, only to stop in her tracks when the guards came bustling through the shop entrance.
"*You may stay right there. Unless you wish to see me speak with the king?*" The guard’s eyes widened at her threat. "*Good. I have my blades so I can protect her.*"
"*Oh, she does not need protecting. The lady is the prince’s..*" He looked her up and down with a sneer, "*guest of the night.*"
