Chapter 56: The Silent Night

Disha brewed four cups of black tea, she thought to remove the awkwardness between her and the three Silsila knights who now had to be her teammates, even though in reality they should be Sapphire's colleagues and not her who was just a disguise.

Disha took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She felt that her attitude was still too feminine to act like a brave knight. She was never taught to act bravely like a man, because as the only girl in the family she was needed very well by her father, mother and four older brothers.

She carried a tray containing four cups of tea into the living room where Keith was busy reading a book and Nathan was busy sharpening his sword. The sound of crickets sounded very clear as if one cricket had managed to infiltrate the hut.

"Please drink the tea!" She said while placing two cups of tea on the table. But zhe didn't see Levi here.

Nathan and Keith, seeing how diligent she was for a knight, made them feel a little confused. She put away the plates and glasses after eating, washed everything and cleaned the kitchen. Then with great kindness she served tea.

Nathan chuckled, to be honest he wanted to thank you for the tea, but he felt that it would be very funny and strange if he said it directly. Seeing Disha busy looking around as if she was looking for something made Keith quickly realize it.

"You looking for Levi?"

"Ah yes, I didn't see him! I want to give him this tea!"

"He's smoking on the terrace, give it to him! Levi really likes black tea."

"Is that so? Alright!"

Disha decided to meet Levi who was sitting on the terrace of the hut. As Keith said, Levi was sitting on a terrace chair smoking a cigarette. When he realized someone was coming out of the door, Levi glanced at that person briefly.

Feeling nervous, Disha placed a cup of tea on the small table near the chair. He was confused about how to get Levi to talk when she could easily mingle with Nathan and Keith who were more open.

"I made tea for you, I hope you like it-" she stuttered. Somehow the atmosphere was much more awkward than when they first met in the room.

"Thank You." Surprisingly, Levi didn't refuse and immediately drank the warm tea she made.

Since she couldn't start a conversation, Disha thought about going inside and resting in her room. But when she was about to take a step, Levi immediately stopped her.

"Your tea is very delicious, thank you." He said. Disha was amazed, she was sure that she had heard it right. Levi praised her and it made her feel very happy because she seemed to be well received here.

"Thank You."

"Get some rest! Tomorrow morning the four of us will start training. Since you have come, that means that in the near future we will soon be facing His Majesty the King to receive our first assignment from him."

"I understand, okay then I'll rest. Good night, Levi?"

Disha went into the house and walked towards her bedroom. She passed the living room where Keith and Nathan still hadn't moved from their place.

"Are you going to sleep yet?" Nathan asked which made her immediately walk away.

"Yeah, I-I'm starting to feel sleepy, hahaha-"

"It's not even nine o'clock yet, are you kidding me?" Nathan uses his skills to tease someone, especially if that person looks weaker than him. However, Disha actually showed an expression on her face that really confirmed that she was very sleepy.

Naturally, she is a woman and a young mother who just gave birth one month ago. Her body condition and hormones make her feel tired and sleepy more quickly. Moreover, recently she felt pain in her breasts which felt like they were getting bigger. Her milk came out continuously and she was forced to wrap a cloth around her breasts.

Moreover, when she decided to disguise herself as Sapphire, she had to wear several pieces of clothing at once to cover the shape of her breasts. The pain she felt was much worse. She felt that right now her baby really needed her.

"Maybe he's tired because he's just traveled a long way. It's okay, Sapphire. Go to sleep! You don't need to listen to his chatter!"

"Okay, then good night?"

"Good night!"

Disha entered the room and immediately locked it. She covered her mouth as she almost screamed from enduring the intense pain in her breasts. Disha opened her clothes and removed the cloth that was tightly wrapped around her breasts. The cloth was wet because of the leakage of her milk. She really hoped she could find a baby who needed her milk, at least until she could find the baby.

She felt very difficult because she had to share a room with a man. If she wasn't careful, her cover could be blown. Moreover, the people she tricked were the best knights in this kingdom. Therefore sooner or later, they would definitely realize that she wasn't the real Sapphire.

After changing clothes, Disha immediately lay down on the bed and covered her body up to her head. She didn't want any gaps that would make her body visible to Levi. She blew out the burning candle on the table right next to her bed. But when she was about to close her eyes, she seemed to hear the sound of a baby crying from outside.

"Why are there baby sounds here?" She thought. It felt strange to hear a baby crying at night like this. However, the sound of his crying sounded very loud as if it showed that the baby was not all right.

For some reason, her heart ached, as if there was an inner contact that she felt as a mother who really missed her child. Hearing the sound of the baby crying made her remember her child.

She couldn't sleep, even though she tried to close her eyes. However, because she was too curious, Disha decided to open the door to her room and step out just to ask Keith and Nathan about the origin of the baby's cries.

"You can't sleep, can you?" Nathan could immediately guess the reason why Disha suddenly came out of her room.

"Why is there a baby around here?"

"The baby lives in the Rosaria building, not too far from this cottage. Because it was very quiet at night, the baby's cries sounded louder."

"But I think tonight his crying was a lot louder tonight. Maybe he's sick."

"I think so!"

"But whose baby is that?" Disha asked. Keith and Nathan looked at each other for a moment before answering her question.

"The baby is Prince Eden, the son of His Majesty King Ellios."
