His wife and family....

After two days, we departed from that cottage to go to the capital, that maid with me was fine, she was quite talented in herbal medicine, I recovered too,

It was a long journey, I miss my bike though,

Riding a horse only looks good in some tomboy movies, but in real life, it was so tiresome, may that was the reason, why our ancestors discovered, other transports,

She showed me the path and I followed her,

It took us more than five days to reach the capital city, and it felt good, I can finally take rest, my legs were sore, but she was fine, maybe because I am not used to it,

when we reached Edward's mansion, my eyes were stunned,

"So this is where Dukes live," I thought,

it was a huge mansion, with beautiful architecture, mind-blowing, I was welcomed grandly, as I returned after fighting a battle just now, of course, it wasn't me, and in this welcoming ceremony, I completely forgot about that thing, my ten days were already over and the remaining ten days, I wanted to spend enjoying those things which I won't be able to have after going back, so I started wandering around the town every day,

my wife, .... his wife, was worried about my behavior, I avoided her because I don't want to cheat on her, as I can't tell her about my existence, and that maid seems to be busy with her work,

But I never thought that my avoidance will raise havoc...

She couldn't bare my avoidance... and thought that I was bewitched, and for curing me she called a witch doctor,

When I came back after a long outing,

I found a weirdo, dancing in the yard,

he has long hair.. colorful clothes hanging on him, and his face was colored too, I can't explain all about him but in other words, a complete weirdo...

When he saw me he came running and started smelling me, I was threatened, I thought he is going to expose me, that her husband is possessed by me...

but, instead, he said,

" Lord is bewitched, it's right he is bewitched"

I was startled that maybe he is going to expose me...

but he said,

"Oh lady... your husband is bewitched by the non-virgin maid in this house,"

I was shocked, I don't know which network he used...but my breath stopped for once, how could he be that accurate...

The head of all the maids kneel before Edward's wife, and cried,

"oh... my lady...I never accepted a non-virgin as a maid, please have mercy, "

Edwards's wife was fumed with anger but before I could stop it, she said,

"check them all...!!"

and to my surprise, she was a princess and Edward was none but a prince consort, he has no power in the household.

Every maid in the mansion was taken for a check, and the maid who lost her virginity to me was dragged out by them after a check,

She was a loyal maid for sure, she kept silent and endured all the punishment given to her but refused to tell them that she lost her virginity to me...

That was making me uneasy, but if I tell them the truth, will these people understand the situation,

I opted to keep my mouth shut because even if she is punished, she will be detained or she'll be sent out of the mansion, it will be nice for both the ladies and I'll be completing my trial successfully.

But what happened was completely out of my control,

"behead her..., and hang her head at the entrance to show how hard the punishment will be if they cheat the masters," said Edward's wife commandingly,

That made my jaw drop,

what should I do now?

should I just let them kill an innocent, or should I reveal the truth.... it was horrible,

I couldn't make a decision, that maid didn't even look at me to support her as if she was determined to be killed.

It hurts when we see innocence dying for nothing, but do I have a chance to keep my trail...

After thinking a lot, I decided to save the innocent girl,

"leave her....!! it was me whom she lost her virginity"

I declared the hidden truth... and tried to explain everything, but everyone was shocked,

Edward loved his wife very much that he never took a second wife, not even a serving maid...

for some time silence spread all over, even a pin dropped can be heard.

That came to an end when I turned to Edward's wife to tell the whole story, but she interrupted me,

"Are you telling the truth?" her eyes were furious, and her attitude was like a commander chief at a battle,

even I was scared by her glance,

"yes, but it's not all the truth..." I gave myself a chance,

"Will you accept her as a second wife or chambermaid?"

I thought everything is being sorted, I read from the books that he has two wives so I think I had to say yes, and so I said

"only if you accept," that's it,

she ran furiously to her room, I followed her but she was far from me, she went in and closed the door, I tried my level best to open the door but it was a huge iron door and I couldn't open it with my bare hands, I shouted my throat out,

"no don't... don't do anything please, I won't take her as my wife,

open the door, we can talk it out"

All the other maids and servants came to help me, but we were unable to open it, I rushed to the window on the other side of the room,

windows were made of wood, so I used a rock to break them,

The scene inside was the one I want to avoid the whole time, she hanged herself to the ceiling,

I was frozen and could hardly breathe,

but my body jumped that wall at once to save his loved one,

It was already done, she was gone,

there was chaos outside the door,

I opened the door, but everyone was panicked in the hall, I went there to see, that my trial was utterly failed, and my failure was laying dead both in the hall and bedroom,

That maid killed herself by hitting her head on a wall,

I closed my eyes and fell on my knees, and when I opened my eyes,

I found myself in that bright yard again.... failing in the very first trail...

But I learned so much from him,

The man I resented all my childhood was a very tremendous warrior, he never betrayed his wife nor he was a pervert,

I felt guilty, that I cried for him...

"How was your first level, my kid"

a familiar voice increased my pain...

" horrible, awful... I failed it... I lost it... I am a failure..." I was crying my heart out,

"what we hear is not always right my child"...

he said,

" so, Are you ready for the second trial....?" he asked,

" let me breathe, please...!! I beg you..." I pleaded as I need some time to bind myself...

"so, are you giving up?"...

" no...!!" I exclaimed.

"close your eyes and count three, you will be at ease... my child"

ha...ha...ha....he laughed louder and I closed my eyes to count three, ...

one...

two...

three...

I opened my eyes and I was in.....
