~White Coven Castle~
Maera was smirking while sitting on her chair behind her desk in her study room.
After missing three meals, she was confident that the two old hags will finally quit being stubborn and ready to tell her about the whereabouts of their mentor and the medallion.
The door opened and Hilda entered the room. "I'm here, Madam!" she said.
"Alright, let's go and visit the grandmas! I'm sure we can get a confession from them tonight," Maera said excitedly.
The two women exited the room. They walked in the hallway going to the underground prison facility.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived in the waiting room.
"I'll bring the prisoners here, Madam," the prison guard said.
"Okay, make it quick! I hate waiting!" Maera demanded.
The prison guard left the waiting room quickly and went to the room where the two prisoners were housed.
Inside the room.
Azere and Olga were staring at each other. They just finished eating the last meal for the day, the same rations of a glass of water and the marble-like candy that tasted like honey and melted in their mouth, soothing their hungry stomach for several hours until the next meal arrives.
Suddenly the rectangle shape opening appeared on the wall near the door and the two handcuffs were there as well.
The women looked at each other in awareness.
"Olga and Azere, you have a visitor waiting for you outside in the waiting room. Show me your hands at once!" the prison guard ordered.
"I guess it's Hilda and that woman again!" Olga said, clenching her teeth in anger.
Azere released a deep sigh. "I guess she wants to see us suffering from hunger, we should give her a good show..."
Olga raised a brow. "What do you mean?"
"Let's show her a fantastic performance!" Azere eye's twinkled in mischief.
"What performance you are talking about? Are we going to dance Zumba in front of them?" Olga asked, confused.
"Come here," Azere said.
Olga came closer and Azere whispered her plan in her ears.
Olga's eyes brightened in amusement. "Amazing!"
"What do you think of my plan? Fantastic isn't it!?" Azere said, grinning wickedly.
"Alright, let's do it!" Olga said giddily.
They rushed to the opening and placed their hands quickly, the handcuffs were fastened securely around their wrist. The door opened and the women left the room, escorted by the guard.
A few minutes later, they walked into the hallway and reached the waiting room in no time.
When the women arrived there, their guess was right. They saw Hilda and the woman named Maera, sitting on the opposite part of the table.
The guards settled them to their seats. Afterward, he takes position near the door.
Maera studied the women's faces, they looked haggard, it looks like they were suffering greatly due to hunger. She opened her mouth and spoke, "Ladies, did you enjoy your day without eating anything?" she asked, mocking them.
The prisoners didn't reply, avoiding her gaze.
"Answer me!" Maera demanded. She didn't expect that their stubbornness will continue despite the hunger that they've been through.
Azere looked at Maera with droopy eyes, she spoke in a low voice, "M...madam, we're so h...hungry! I t...think we will p...pass out due to h...hunger..." she stammered.
Maera glared at her. "I don't care if you're hungry, just tell me where is your mentor hiding right now and where is the medallion!? Answer me! Or else, you will not receive any meals tomorrow!" she said threateningly.
Azere sighed deeply and looked at Olga.
A few minutes later, the women's head suddenly slumped on the surface of the table.
"What happen to them! Go check on them!" Maera shouted at the guard in alarm.
The guard rushed to the women's side and checked their condition. He looked at Maera. "Madam, they fainted due to hunger!" he declared.
"What are you waiting for? Bring them to the clinic and have the physician attend to them. Give them food right away after they regained their consciousness!" Maera ordered worriedly.
"Aye, Madam!" the guard replied.
A few minutes later, a stretcher-like bed was brought in the waiting room by two guards, they put the ladies on it and brought them to the clinic that was located in the same place.
Maera was sighing deeply, her nostrils flaring. "Weaklings! Such useless women!" she grumbled furiously.
"Madam, should we wait here until the women regain their consciousness or just come back her tomorrow after the ladies rested a bit?" Hilda suggested.
"Hmp! Let's go back to the South Wing! My day is already ruined by those weaklings! They didn't even last at least half an hour under my interrogation! Useless!" Maera grumbled furiously.
The women left the waiting room.
Meanwhile...
Inside the clinic, where the walls were painted white from floor to ceiling. A physician was examining the ladies in the bed.
He was surprised when the woman he was examining opened her eyes suddenly. "Oh, you regained consciousness so quickly, eh? Tell me, what are you feeling now?" he asked.
"I'm hungry, Sir! Please, have mercy on us! Give us food!" Olga interjected in the other bed before Azere can reply.
The physicians looked at the woman on the other bed and smiled. "You too, welcome back to the world! I guess you're very hungry, eh?" he said, beaming.
"Yes, we are!" the ladies replied in unison.
"Alright, let me bring the food inside the room so that you can eat on the table over there in the corner. Can you move your body? Can you walk now?" he asked.
"Yes, we can, Sir!" the ladies responded in chorus and left their bed quickly, going to the table.
Smiling, the physician went to the door and opened it. Two prison staff entered the room, carrying a wooden tray, and placed two platters of dishes on the table, complete with utensils, water, and glasses. They placed the food on the table and left the room afterward.
The women salivated while staring at the delicious-smelling dishes in front of them.
"Go ahead, enjoy your meal!" the physician said in amusement.
The women attacked the food with a voracious appetite as if they haven't eaten for the whole year.
The physician looked at them in amazement. "Eat slowly, or you will choke..." he warned them. "Don't worry, the food is all yours, no one will take them away form you, so please, eat slowly," he reminded them.
"Yes, sir!" the women replied and eat slowly as per the physician's order.
"Girls, enjoy your meal. I'll go outside to get something from the next room. Don't leave the clinic, okay?" he said.
The women nodded their heads without replying, busy with eating.
The physician opened the door and exited. The guards were guarding the clinic outside. He entered the next room where his private living quarter was located.
When he reached the room, he went directly to the bathroom.
A figure suddenly materialized in the middle of the room.
A few minutes later, the physician left the bathroom and was startled to see his friend inside his room. "My friend, you surprised me for a minute!" he said. "Why are you here?" he asked.
The guy grinned. "I just want to know the situation of the ladies. Are they okay?" he asked.
The physician nodded his head. "Of, course they are! They're currently eating delicious meals inside the clinic."
"I see... how are they? Is their illness serious?" the guy asked.
The physician smiled in amusement. "They didn't passed out due to hunger. They fainted because they acted specifically for that purpose just to be able to eat delicious meals. These women tricked Madam Maera so effortlessly, they're crafty women!" He expressed his opinion about the two grandmas with amusement flashing in his eyes.
The guy grinned. "Very well! I like them! I can used them for my grand plan one day! Take care of them for me! I want them alive! Inform your men to stay alert and let me know right away if Madam Maera is planning to kill the women. I'll intervene on their behalf at once!" he stated seriously.
"Can you please share to me your grand plan?" the physician asked curiously.
The mysterious guy smiled broadly. "I will tell you one day. For now, just cooperate with me and you will also benefit from my grand plan," he said.
The physician smiled. "Alright, I won't press you anymore about your grand plan. I trust you completely. Just let me know if you need more assistance from me and my men, we're ready to assist you anytime and all the time for your cause, whatever it is!" he said.
"Good! I will not stay longer, I'll go back to my place now. Take care of the ladies for me!" the guy said.
The physician nods his head. "I will!"
The mysterious guy suddenly vanished from the room.
The physician exited his room and returned to the clinic to check on his two patients.
When he arrived there, the women were done eating, already sitting on their beds wearing pleasant smiles on their faces. When he looked at the table, all the contents of the serving plates were gone. He looked at them and smiled. "Wow, girls, you are indeed hungry!" he grinned, amused.
"Indeed, we are!" the women replied cheekily.
Azere looked at the physician worriedly. "Sir, did you discover our act - right?" she asked.
"Yeah!" The physician replied with a nod of his head.
Azere's eyes winded in fear. "Sir, are you going to inform Madam Maera that we're just acting?" she asked worriedly.
The physician in his 40's laughed. "Nah, don't worry! I'll keep my mouth shut! My job is to cure people, not to pry on their private affairs," he said.
"Thank you so much, sir!" the women replied happily in chorus.
"Don't mention it. Since you're fine and done eating, I will discharge you now so that you can return to your room," he said.
"Ah, Sir! We're willing to be your assistant here in the clinic, please don't send us back to our cell!" Olga begged.
Azere looked at Olga with a raised brow. She saw the mischievous twinkle in Olga's eyes.
The physician smiled. "Ah, sorry ladies, the clinic can't do that. We're not allowed to take prisoners as our assistant. The management will get mad and fire me," he said, chuckling.
"Sir, please..." Olga pleaded with the puppy dog's eyes. Then she winked at him seductively.
Azere rolled her eyes, looking at Olga with amusement flashing in her eyes. Is Olga flirting at the handsome physician? Shameless woman!
The physician stared at the grandma in shock. Is this Grandma flirting with me?
He cleared his throat. "How old are you, GRANDMA?" he asked, wanting to put her in her place, putting an abrupt end to her fantasy quickly.
"I'm only thirty years young!" Olga replied quickly and looked for Azere to reinforce her statement.
The physician looked at Azere with a raised brow.
"The truth is... she's turning 80 years old next year, Sir!" Azere replied with a joke.
The physician chuckled charmingly. "Alright ladies, it now time for you to return to your cell!" he ordered.
Olga glared at Azere.
The women left the clinic reluctantly. The prison guards put them back in their prison cell.
After the women settled in their rooms.
Olga looked at Azere. "I'm not talking to you for the whole year! You rain on my parade in the clinic!" she said angrily.
Azere erupted in peals of laughter, vibrating around the room.
