On call: living in the underworld (ch. 2)
Both Rukky's parents were doctors and the finest in all the kingdoms. People came from far places to seek their medical attention. They had a broad knowledge of medicine and so, their kingdom was ahead in medical technology.
Now their medical attention was needed in one of the neighboring kingdoms and so they had to go. They said goodbye to Rukky and left.
Two days later the atmosphere in the palace was filled with tension. Although nobody wanted Rukky to notice this, she was too smart not to.
She noticed her aunt's and uncles eyes were red as if they were crying for hours.
She thought she was going to die of suspense until her aunt told her. She said,' Mom and Dad have gone to heaven.' Those words forever had an effect on her psychological state.
Everyone thought it weird that she didn't cry. She usually cried at the smallest provocation so when she didn't cry, it certainly was strange. From that day on, she became known as the tearless princess.
