That would be their last conversation given the circumstances, because the next time they met, they would be in a completely different situation.
Sarah and Esther helped her with her bath. They washed her hair and lathered her body with soap, while Zuri stared blankly at the ceiling, listening to the voices in her mind.
The two of them looked at each other, this was not the first time for them to see their luna being like this, but they didn't dare to disturb her. Their luna would often stare into the distance for a long time and recently, they even caught her talking to herself in a low voice.
They were worried about her. Everything that the alpha put her through must have been weighing on her mentally.
"Luna, I found where the Alpha has been hiding Faye, do you want me to take you there?" Sarah asked warily, as she washed her hair with warm water. She heard their last conversation about Faye and the rest was not actually hard to figure out. "I didn't tell you earlier because I thought you didn't care. I am sorry."
Zuri pulled back from whatever thoughts she was occupied with, tilted her head and looked at Sarah upside down as she leaned her head on the tub.
"I've known that since the beginning. I told you, money makes a lot of things easier and I have a lot." She didn't pursue this matter because she didn't care. She still didn't care. She only wanted to make Xaden think that she cared, and bother him.
After the bath, Sarah and Esther helped her dry her hair and put on a comfortable dress, so she could rest, while the men were solidifying their plan for tomorrow. They were ready for the coup. All their warriors and rogues had blended with the people in the capital city.
No one would be suspicious because of the festivities.
"Here, take this." Zuri gave Sarah and Esther a set of jewelry each, which included a pair of earrings, necklace, bracelet and two rings.
"Luna! We can't accept them!" Sarah and Esther said in unison. Both of them knelt down. Their luna had been acting so weird lately.
It was not that she had never gifted them, but the gift this time was simply too much.
Zuri didn't have time for this. "Get up. I need to tell you something and I will not say it again for the second time." She shook her head to get rid of the voices in her head that were getting louder. "Go back to your families and then leave the capital city first thing in the morning."
"Luna, did we do something wrong?" Sarah asked, tears in her eyes. "Are you throwing us away?"
"Luna, we are very sorry for whatever we have done wrong. Please, don't chase us away."
They had grown fond of her, she was the best master that they had ever served, she was kind and thoughtful in her own way.
But now, a set of jewelry for each of them... it was too much. In one glance, they knew the price would allow them to buy a piece of land and a house. freёwebnoѵel.com
