"As if I'll allow you to take one," Xhemin smiled at Darryl's words. The beast was surely not friendly with women; she already wondered how she managed to get close to him. Well thinking through it—it wasn't easy for her too. In fact the very moment they laid eyes to each other, he accused her of being a cheater in front of many people.

"I'm just making it clear," Darryl no longer was mad. He reached for Xhemin's hair then, pulled her close and gave her a kiss. However before they could do anything outrageous in public, a maidservant came to announce Illa Durray was ready.

"They asked you to come healer," The maidservant relayed.

"Can you come with me inside?" Xhemin asked her husband. She knew that she was the only reason why he was here and so he might not bother to enter the hut to listen to some visions. However, right at that moment, for some reason Xhemin felt like Darryl had to be there so she invited him to come.

Darryl hoped to go back to their irrigation project with Baruk Tam now that he had talked to his wife already. He seriously didn't want to waste time with what Illa Durray had to say but since he couldn't refuse his wife, he just nodded and let her drag him inside.

When they entered, they saw everyone tensed up. Princess Song held the hem of her dress looking at Princess Lana with disdain while Maru was being held by Baruk Tam. She had long wanted to choke her but the handmaiden stopped her from doing so. Right then, Baruk Tam was the one whispering some calming thoughts to her.

Darryl stood at Xhemin's back as they awaited what Illa Durray had to say. The old woman was sitting crossed legged in the center aisle that was filled with candles and something that was smoking. Her old days were marked by her crumpled skin but despite such, her aura wasn't weak. In fact her presence was so intimidating that for a few minutes not one dared to talk and just waited for her.

"What is it that you all came here for?" A middle aged woman that was on Illa Durray's back asked. She was the house messenger and a relative of the seer.

Everyone just looked at each other as no one dared to speak. Most of them just came to listen to the exact words of the prophecy and see if there was something in it that would benefit them. There were histories of Illa Durray seeing visions that benefit many people and so they hoped today was one of those days.

"Illa Durray," Princess Lana came forward and kneeled in front of the old woman. She waited for the seer to open her eyes and acknowledged her but even her call didn't make flich. The old woman did not even bother to open her eyes for her, which made everyone think she was actually sleeping right then while sitting.

Feeling the need to wake the old woman up as like the others she too thought she was asleep, Princess Lana raised her voice.

"Illa Durray! Don't you recognize me?" The Highest Princess started. "You saw a vision about me days ago saying I will give birth to the hero's child if I will offer myself to him,"

Even with her narration, Illa Durray stayed put. She just sat there idly as if she had heard nothing.

"Is she asleep?" Princess Lana frustratedly asked. "Is she not—"

"I recognized you," For the first time the old woman spoke, sending chills to everyone as her voice was somehow spooky. However things went for Princess Lana as Illa Durray's acknowledgement gave her more confidence.

"See everyone? She recognizes me! Illa Durray confirmed the visions she told us all!" The princess' eyes shined so ever brightly and because she could not contain her happiness, she held onto Illa Durray's hands, "Illa Durray tell them, tell them I am indeed destined to bear the hero's child!"

"Don't touch her!" The people who were attending to Illa Durray snapped the princess' hand away from the seer, "Seers cannot be touched without their permission!"

"I apologized. Sorry I was just so happy," Princess Lana reasoned, annoyed inwardly that she had been reprimanded under everyone's eyes. "Now we just all confirmed that the vision was indeed true," The princess then turned to the Chieftain who was standing at one corner, "See my brother? It was the seer herself who confirmed it. You must do anything in your power to make sure the prophecy would be fulfilled

Enoch who was there could only sighed helplessly at Princess Lana's demands. He thought by giving her off to the highest gunta, her problem about her will be solved but he was wrong. Xhemin, her adoptive sister made her realize today he should have listened to her and given her a chance to explain herself rather than shutting off her claims about the vision. As a Chieftain, he must take things like this seriously because it is these little things that can cause extreme chaos just like how it did now. If only he took time to listen to her and took the initiative to clarify things with Illa Durray right away as what Xhemin did, things would not have escalated.

"How could all the highest princess become such a headache," Enoch thought to himself. How unlucky could they be when it comes to highest princess that everyone who steps into such a title becomes a bad egg. Princess Lana, Princess Wang and even Princess Tang were once beautiful good girls and yet when they became highest princesses, they all turned into something else, something either greedy or shameless. Highest Heavens! What was happening in the Chieftain's household.

"It is because the title of the highest princess had been cursed," Illa Durray spoke and this time, opened her eyes for the very first time. She fixed his eyes to Enoch and the latter was shocked to hell when the realized the words she just spoke were answers to the questions he only whispered in his thoughts.

"What do you mean Illa?" Enoch then went into panic as he felt some rush inside him. Illa Durray had long stopped seeing visions and so he never got to experience the wonders of it first hand. Right then was the very first time he experienced such a marvelous situation.

"The Highest Princess seat is cursed. Everyone should know that," The old woman clasped her hands and calmly announced as if the things she told were just ordinary.
