29 Where is the gift? (1/2)

Seeing that it was already dark, Henry asked them to go home. While they were walking, he asked them about the progress of their herb garden.

”Ask him” Helen pouted at Francis.

”Oh really? It was me? You did not even help”

”I am an eldest miss, why would I toil?”

They went on a staring match again.

Cheska explained what happened to the herb garden. The soil was plowed but it needed to be plowed again. She also described that the strength of Francis was overwhelming. It was like he was plowing a sand. The soil which was hard and sticky did not mean much in his hands.

Francis walked out after saying goodbye to Cheska, Henry and Madel. He turned around without even looking at Helen.

Helen smirked and stuck her tongue out the back of Francis.

At the carriage Cheska gave Henry the plan for the herb garden. They were seated together. Madel was seating in front beside Helen.

After giving suggestions to Cheska he went in front to ask Helen to seat at the back.

Helen felt jealous again. Henry wanted to seat with Madel.

[How can this man be so close to her and she can't even notice it]

”Hi Madel.” Henry greeted.

Madel who was just started to close her eyes opened it and saw Henry.

Earlier when he saw him seat beside Cheska she felt so jealous. But, she simply closed her eyes and accept that she cannot take him all for herself.

”How many herbs have you collected?” He asked.

”Huh?” Madel was confused for a second. She looked at him with misty eyes.

”Have you started collecting the herbs Madel? We need that” He started to become sassy again.

He remembered that Madel went to the apothecary hall to see Tristan. He did not know but he felt annoyed.

”Just tell me when you need the herbs Henry. If you want I can give you a list of the herbs and you can choose.”

”You can coordinate to Cheska about that.”

”I already did, but we appreciate your inputs.”

She wanted to sleep again but Henry took out a book about herbs.

”do you have these?” pointing at a picture of an herb.

Having an all-seeing eye does not mean that she can remember everything. In fact, it makes her

forget the things that were not deemed as necessary by the brain. She has a very selective memory. Being bombarded by a lot of images from the first to the seventh dimension all at once can be overwhelming.

”I'm not sure, perhaps I have one.” She said.

”this one, do you have it?”

”I don't know either.” She pressed her lips then gave him her storage ring. ”Here, just look, I have some dried herbs there that I use for studying. If it's in there, it means that I can get a seed or a stem for our garden.”
