Chapter 21 - Episode 21. The threads of destiny

When he emptied his bag we were shocked, angry and full of questions. This man collected rotten fruits and only put the good ones on top. No one said anything for some time, until I blocked the silence.

"So why did you decide to collect such fruits?" I still had to ask.

The man looked down only with apologies for his answers.

"If only you told us why we were collecting fruits in the first place." he added to his apologies.

" I understand my Goodman, tomorrow you are going hunting with the prince it will take some time that's why we needed fruits so we will give you another chance."

" Why did you add leaves under the bag?"

"I am sorry if only you told us clearly why we were collecting fruits, I would have added more effort please give me another chance."

By the time we finished we were exhausted, I told the prince to keep a close eye on the unfaithful men they may be the culprit, and for sure we soon find out that they were planning to kill him at the hunt.

" It's clear to me now thanks to you princess, and your dog captured the massagers, I will be ready for them tomorrow."

I was surprised to see my sister in law smiling now.

"It seems like his thread of destiny has changed color." she said as soon as the prince left the room.

"What color was it?" I asked

"It was as red as blood but now it's blue. It all worked out in the end, I was so scared."

"Sister in law, are you able to see the threads of destiny?" She looked at me then at the door and back at me.

Lister then realized that she was thinking out loud and she unconsciously answered my questions.

"Please answer me. I saw that you were uneasy all day yesterday, what do you know?"

"Ok little sister I will tell you, I am able to see the threads of destiny, but it's so painful knowing someone's destiny but not able to change or help them, so I thought you could see them too that's why you wanted to join the prince."

"No, I can't see them, so what do they look like?"

"Then how did you know that prince Jack was in danger?"

"It's because I have seen these things in my dreams, prince Jack was supposed to die yesterday, and I had to do something to help him, that's why I followed him."

"It was not a dream, back then you died and were reborn."

"If that's true then you died too?"

"Yes I died as well but I was not reborn. I traveled from the future, the person of this body died."

"When did you die, sister in law? I don't remember you dying in my previous life"

"It was the day I married you brother, back then you were still a little girl, my step sister pushed me in the water and I drowned because I don't know how to swim, she was the one who was married to your brother."

"Why did she do that?"

My step sister was jealous of me because I married Prince Mark back then, he became rich because of my help, he was able to win favors from all the kingdom's."

"And your sister thought he did it all on his own?"

"Yes so in order to marry him she killed me and at the same time the real me in the future had an accident I was electrocuted and traveled through time I don't understand how it happened but I work up a thousand years back in this era, that's when I knew what to do, so I married prince Hanley instead of prince Mark, my sister had no idea how ruthless that man was until she was married."

"I see so you are not supposed to exist in our time, that's why you are able to see the threads of destiny?"

"Yes but the problem is I am unable to change its color unless one changes it themselves like you did your own."

"What color is my thread?"

"I am unable to see your thread, but I know you have changed it. I can't see my husbands and my own thread but anyone else's I can see them."

"Why is that? Why can't you see the threads of the three of us?"

"I have no idea, I was thinking if I stick with you I can find answers."

"Maybe we can find answers together."

"Yes I think we should go now prince Jack can handle the rest."

"I think so too. He is a strong man. He won't die soon. What's our first destination?"

General Jack stopped in his truck, he stopped his men from approaching him with a hand.

"From Zumwanda to Gaban island."

"Are you going to be ok on the water because we are using a boat to reach the Island."

" I think we have no choice, besides I am not like you. I will be fine, don't worry, I am a strong woman."

Prince Jack packed us food when going, of all people I was the happiest. Food is one of my favorite activities to do and money second.

"My princess here are a few gifts for you as a token of my appreciation for helping me. I would have died, and Sniper helped a lot by capturing the massagers for the enemy, so thank you Sniper, now go and find your friend and come back to see me."

"No need it was our duty, besides you are always protecting us, it's the list we can do."

"These are a few gold bars I picked up, I insist please have them."

"If you insist thank you my prince," in my heart I was so happy, gold all my gold I will buy so much food In the next village, I almost jump with joy.

Why mi and Mercy have rejoined us finally, we started off this time we used horses to travel.

Before I could forget again I opened the box my mother in law gave me, I found a scarf belonging to prince AK I tied it to Sniper's Nack. "Keep this safe it belongs to the man we are looking for."

As soon as we hit the dack, my sister in law started vomiting, "we are beary moving and you are already getting sick?"

I did anything I could to help her but it was in vain because nothing worked, she became so sick that the only solution was to put an IV drip to avoid dehydration.

I didn't know it's this bad, I have never seen my sister in law this Vulnerable, she looked pale.

"Sister, do you have insomnia like me?"

"Yes, only when my husband is not around I have sleepless nights and nightmares."

"Then why did you follow me if you knew that you can't stay away from Hanley for a long time?"

"Don't worry Henley knew this was going to happen so we found a solution."

"What solution is that? Don't tell me he packed his own clothes to help you sleep." I joked about it.

"I won't tell you then."

"All no! He did, my goodness you two are in love, and it's so easy to pick on you when your strength is not around."

"Shut up, you are making me even more sick, you are such a little devil."
