Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 266: Parasites

Prince Khalid couldn’t believe what just happened. He watches the whole progress of Yue Xuexia’s diagnosis and couldn’t believe how she had healed them on the spot. Under his gaze he saw how that golden light appeared out of nowhere and fell on his first queen mother and noble aunty.

A light that seems to come down from the heavens, it heals everything under its glow. That’s how he watches the dull and almost colorless complexion of the two patients turned rosy under this golden light. Looking at the first queen and the noble lady not only waking up and speaking, but also being able to sit up from their beds and now standing before him. He just couldn’t believe it.

Crown Prince Rasheed and Lord Junna went to their respective mothers and hugged them with their fathers.

"Hmi, laqad aistayqazt akhyran. hadha mudhhla. ’akhti... la ya ’iilahatan, shkraan jzylaan lika!" said Crown Prince Rasheed while holding on to his mother’s hand.

Translation: [Mother, you are finally awake. This is amazing. Sister... No, Goddess, thank you so much!]

Beside them, Lord Junna also thanks Yue Xuexia with traces of tears in the corner of her reddish eyes.

Lord Junna said, "Shkran liki. laqad talabna min jamie ’anwae al’atibaa’ musaeadatina. hataa al’amir khalid lam yabq ealaa hayaatihim ’iilaa biwadeihim fi nawm eamiqin. ’iilahatan, ’ashkuruk ealaa rahmatika."

Translation: [Thank you. We’ve asked all kinds of doctors to help us. Even Prince Khalid had only restored their lives by putting them to deep sleep. Goddess, thank you for your mercy.]

Yue Xuexia smiled and said, "Ealaa alrahb walsieati. wakama qult lak min qablu, hadhih hadiati lika. wabitabieat alhal, sa’abdhul qusaraa juhdi litahqiq dhalika. wamae dhalika, ’aetaqid ’anah yajib ealayk ’iijra’ tahqiq shamil hawl ma hadath lihawula’ alsayidati. laqad wujidat fiha athar tufayliaat mushabihatan litilk alati bidakhil hadha alshakhsi."

Translation: [You’re welcome. As I told you before, this is my gift to you. Of course, I shall do my best to fulfill it. However, I think you should investigate thoroughly about what happened to these ladies. I found traces of parasites in them similar to the one inside of this person.]

She pointed at Prince Khalid when parasites were mentioned. This startled Lord Junna’s family and the whole royal family. Prince Khalid was shocked himself as well.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Halatuk fi almarhalat al’awaliat faqat. wamae dhalika, nzran lieadam wujud ’ayi marad muzmin ’aw khafiin maeka, la yumkin liltufayliaat ’an tajid akhtraqan. lihadha alsabab ’ant muta’athir eaqliana badalan min dhalika. ’ant tasmae swtaan min aleadami, ’alays kadhalika? laqad ’araduu mink ’an taetaqid ’anak tueani min marad anfisam alshakhsiati."

Translation: [Your case is just at the initial stage. However, since you didn’t have any chronic or hidden illness with you, the parasites can’t find a breakthrough. That’s why you’re affected mentally instead. You are hearing voices out of nowhere aren’t you? They wanted you to think you are suffering from schizophrenia.]

Crown Prince Rasheed isn’t too knowledgeable with any kind of mental illness however he heard rumors about schizophrenia from the nobles talking about in the country.

Prince Rasheed asked worriedly, "Hal hadha hu alsabab wara’ eadam qudratik ealaa alnawm lylaan waydaan limadha tubqi nafsak mstyqzaan tawal alnahar wallayli? la eajab ’ana basharatak waeaynayk la tabduan bihalat jayidat mwkhran?!"

Translation: [Is that the reason why you can’t sleep at night and also why you keep yourself awake all day and night? No wonder your complexion and your eyes aren’t looking good lately?!]

Lord Junna asked, "Al’amir khalid, man ailtaqayt mwkhraan? la, sa’ursil shkhsan liltahqiq fi al’amr sran."

Translation: [Prince Khalid, who have you met recently? No, I will send someone to investigate it discreetly.]

After saying these words he whistled and a few shadows left the surroundings without revealing their figures. It can be said that these men are most likely subordinates of Lord Junna and the sound of his whistle had a different meaning in the ears of these people.

Prince Khalid looked like he didn’t want to say anything about it and the worried crown prince was still urging him to tell them what was happening.

Crown Prince Rasheed said, "Khaldu, la tukhfi dhalik baed alan. min al’afdal ’an tukhbirana bikuli ma tuerifuh hataa natamakan min ’iinqadhika?"

Translation: [Khalid, don’t hide it anymore. You better tell us all that you know so we can save you?]

Taiyang says, "lan yatakalam ’iidha lam yastatiei. hadha yaeni faqat ’ana shkhsan ma ’iilaa janibih tama aistikhdamuh didahu. hadhih altufayliaat la takhtalif ean qaw. wamae dhalika, fa’iina aluathar alati tusabibuha ’aswa min athar alghw. ealaa alraghm min ’an alghw qarib aydan min wujud altufiliati, ’iilaa ’anah min alsaeb ’iinsha’ wahidatun. wakhasatan alnawe aladhi yumkin altahakum fih min masafat baeidatin."

Translation: [He won’t speak if he can’t. That only means someone on his side was used against him. These parasites are no different from Gu. However, the effects they cause are worse than that of Gu. Even though Gu is also close to the existence of parasites, it is hard to create one. Especially the type that can be controlled from a distance.]

Shen Jueyang added, "Wamae dhalika, la yumkin alsaytarat ealaa altufiliati. ’iinahum yaeishun faqat ealaa hisab alakhrin. kan al’amr ’ashbah biallaenati. walihadha alsabab yaseub ’iizaltaha."

Translation: [However, parasites cannot be controlled. They only live at the expense of others. It was similar to a curse. That’s why it’s hard to remove them.]

Everyone in the hall frowned at such news they thought that Prince Khalid was done for and was thinking of a way to save him. Their thoughts were cut off by Yue Xuexia who spoke up.

Yue Xuexia said, "Ahdur walidatihi. altufayliaat min alsaeb ’iirda’aha. yumkinuh faqat ’an yaeish wayakul ma aetad ealayhi. wayanbaghi lilmalik ’an yati ’aydan."

Translation: [Bring his birth mother over. Parasites are picky. It can only live eating what they were used to. The King should also come over.]

Junna’s father instantly understood what Yue Xuexia’s hidden meaning means and his expression looked unfriendly.

The noble man asked, "Hal ma zanantuh yahduth ya ’amirati alqumr?"

Translation: [Is what I thought is happening, your highness Princess Moon?]

Yue Xuexia exchanged a gaze with the gentleman and nodded.

She replied, "Naema. yumkinuk ’an tashrah lilmalik alwadei. sayakun hu man sayuqarir ma yajib fieluh baed dhalika. ’aqtarih ’alaa yalmasaha fursanuk mubasharatan litajanub naql aldum."

Translation: [Yes. You can explain to the king the situation. He will be the one to decide what should be done next. I suggest that your knights shouldn’t directly touch her to avoid transfusion.]

The father of Junna issued a command to escort the third queen over to the hall. They were also warned to not touch her at all or get injured by anything or her. The crown prince and Lord Junna were confused by these words. On the other hand, Prince Khalid looked pale as he understood the reason for the careful words of his Noble Uncle.

Only when the third queen and Khalid’s mother were escorted over did they understand everything. The Third Quee didn’t expect to see the first queen and the noble lady alive and awake. She was actually happy seeing them bedridden suffering from their illness that no one can cure.

Who would have thought that there would be a day when she, the third queen, will once again see them live and kicking.

The third queen of the sand country had spoken, "La ’astatie ’an ’usadiq ’ana al’ukht alkubraa walsayidat alnabilat ma zalata ealaa qayd alhayaat baed tilk al’ashya’i. kama hu mutawaqae, ’antuma alaithnan taeishan hqan lifatrat ’atwal mimaa tawaqaetu."

Translation: [I can’t believe that the eldest sister and the noble lady will still be alive after experiencing those things. As expected, you two truly live longer than I expected.]

The king of the sand country and the first queen were shocked by the third queen’s words. These words alone were enough to convict her as the sinner who caused the first queen and the noble lady bedridden and that their illness is nothing but a scheme of this third queen.

The crown prince was shocked at first but when he saw his younger brother, Khalid’s expression of remorse, he understood everything.

Crown Prince Rasheed asked, "Khalid, hal hadha hu sabab eadam rafdik li’ayin min talabati? limadha tatbae dayiman kalimati? wakadhalik limadha tusaeidni. hal li’anak taelam ’ana walidatak hi alati kanat wara’ marad walidati albayulujiati?"

Translation: [Khalid, is this the reason why you never decline any of my requests? Why do you always follow through with my words? As well why you are helping me. Is it because you know that your mother was the one behind the illness of my biological mother?]

Prince Khalid looked at his elder brother and saw his eyes full of pain. He felt so guilty and embarrassed in his heart. Even so, he didn’t choose to give excuses.

He said, "’Ana asfu. la ’aerif kayf ’uwqifaha. fi baed al’ahyani, la ’astatie altaharuk ’iilaa eindama la ’akun fi alqasra. al’alam ’aqalu bihadhih altariqati."

Translation: [I’m sorry. I don’t know how to stop her. At times, I can only make a move when I am not in the palace. The pain is less that way.]

The third queen narrowed her annoyance and used the authority of the mother parasite in her to control the children.

She said, "Min al’afdal ’an tasmut ya khalid. ’ayuha alshay’ eadim alfayidati! la yumkinuk hataa nashr altufayliaat ’iilaa al’umara’ wal’amirat alakhrin. alan hataa ’amirat ’ajnabiat waqafat fawq ras hadhih almalikati!"

Translation: [You better shut up, Khalid. You useless thing! You couldn’t even spread the parasites to the other princes and princesses. Now even a foreign princess stood above this queen’s head!] She started chanting unknown words which is most likely use to control the mother parasite she possessed. Those who had parasite in them were all affected by her chanting.

Argh!

Prince Khalid and the king of the sand country groans in the sudden pain crossing their bodies. It’s a hundred times worse on Khalid than the king as the parasites in him were making him suffer more for putting them to sleep by his medicines.
