Chapter 8: Under The Moonlight
Starry Night LoveUnder the moonlight is where Bit Na finds tranquility. The light, the colors, the wind... it had a mysterious feeling that will regain her energy. After she made sure her people were safe, she did what she was best at, what could empty her mind from everything that has passed and will come to pass. So she sneak out to a southern yard where she guessed no one will be bothering her around. She change her clothes, in the distance, she could pass by a soldier in training.Until the sun rised, she did not rest. By herself, she unsheathe the sword and fought her nightmares, her worries, her pains. She cried herself out, but didn't stoped. She felt, but didn't stoped.
Later that morning she went to visit the healing man, her cousin named Kaish, who was recovering from sevear injuries.
-How is his progress going on?- asked Bit Na to the Doctor in charged who was on his way out of the palace.
-He did lost a lot of blood, but his wounds are recovering satisfcatory-

One of the women next to them talked to Bit Na in a different language.
-Princess, will you change? You look... different in those clothing-
