"I didn't know Lady Tatianka was this evil," Yvonne finally spoke after some time. They had returned from the passage and everyone seated silently pondering on what they had heared. Zhanna didn't remember this scene from her past life. Yes, King Igor was killed but it was by her.
"We need to stop her... cause If King Igor dies, there would be serious chaos" Vika said and everyone nodded their head in aggreement. "Your majesty, do you have a plan" Annette asked Zhanna. Zhanna, who was originally lost in thoughts, turned her face to the remaining behind her and with a dark glint in her eyes she said, "Of course I do"
The next day...
Ulyana sighed once more, she could see the courtyard from where she stood. The guards, the knights and the prince's group were all practising their fighting skills. That meant Shura was there and from what Ulyana had heard, he was a Dragon blood Warrior. She thoughts those warriors were extinct and only existed in fairytales. Shura was a Dragon-blood warrior, a supernaural human worthy to be married to her not some human... Boris.
Ulyana dressed her best, trying to attract the prince's attention. As Shura fought, it was as though his face got more handsome that's why Ulyana sighed constantly. After the practice, they dispersed and so did Ulyana. She then remembered that she hadn't written to her mother since she got married three weeks ago. So, she sat on her table, brought a nepa (feather pen), a paper rag and began writing.
These were the contents of the letter:
Dearest Mother,
I can hardly write this without my hands trembling in anger. How dare she, Zhanna, live her life as though she is some great lady, married to a prince, living in luxury, with the throne so close she could touch it? While I am trapped here with a man who is nothing but a mortal, beneath me in every way, suffocating in this castle, playing the part of a bride to a man who should never have been mine. I can hardly stand to be in his presence.
I have seen her, Mother. Zhanna. She is here, living in the castle and married to a Prince. Not just any prince but the warrior prince! It makes my blood boil just thinking of it. And here I am, stuck with Prince Boris, a man who cannot even begin to understand me, a man so beneath my power, it sickens me. Zhanna must come back, and she must return to Prince Boris.
Please, Mother, you know what must be done. You always have a plan. I need your help. Do something, make it happen. Bring Zhanna back to where she belongs, and let me finally go back to my kingdom. I can't bear this any longer.
I wait for your wisdom, and I pray it comes quickly.
With all my love and desperation,Ulyana.
After writing, she let out a pigeon, tied the letter to it's legs and let it fly to Koldunova.
...
Tatianka put her plan into actions the next day. She got an opportunity to enter the kitchen and successfully threatened the maid who served the king into putting the poison in the king's food. If everything goes well and this continues for a couple of days, King Igor would be on his deathbed sooner than he expected.
