The Madrol Empire Part 4
Leeana
found herself in a swimming pool full of paper money: “I’m rich beyond my
wildest dreams!” She stood up, currency tickled her skin as they fell. Then she
realized: “I’m completely naked!” She ran through the courtyard trying to cover
up as the landscapers laughed and pointed. A group of commoners also laughed.
Leeana ran to the door to the castle and opened it. She looked up as a huge
pile of money fell on top of her. She woke up.
Still
in bed Leeana called for her servant who came running over. “Yes malady.”
“I just
had a rather disturbing dream, bring to me the royal psychologist, hurry.”
Leeana waited in bed as Dr. Harrington entered the room. “Hello malady, what
seems to be the trouble?”
“I
dreamt I was swimming in a pool of money then when I got up I was completely
naked surrounded by slack jawed gawkers. I tried to get into the castle but a
wave of money came over me. Then, I awoke.” Leeana told the doctor as she
trembled.
“Nothing
to be worried about, dreams of nude situations are common. Maybe you feel like
you’re caught off guard, you’re exposed and everyone knows.” The doctor
suggested.
“Hmm,
that doesn’t seem like me. Maybe there’s something more..” Leeana pondered.
“Well,
how about this, you feel ashamed about something, represented by your nakedness
and you feel like you must seek revenge, represented by the paper money. Either
that or someone will take revenge out on you.” Suggested the doctor. “Do you
feel like that’s accurate, does that make sense?” Asked the doctor.
“Um, no
not entirely.” Said Leeana. She knew exactly what the doctor was talking about,
but she wished to not reveal it. “You can leave now. Thank you doctor.”
“But we
can discuss it some more if you would like, maybe make some sense out of it.”
“No,
you’ve done enough, thank you.” Said Leeana.
She
watched as the doctor made it to the bedroom door, he looked back briefly then
left. She thought to herself, hopefully he doesn’t put the pieces together. I’m
so stupid, why did I go to him for help? I should have figured out what it
meant on my own, I’m smart, I have an analytical mind. I should be safe but
just in case….
Leeana
called for her private detective: “bring me Shaduk at once,” she said as she
got out of bed. Her dress for the day was brought to her. She put it on and
exited the bedroom to make herself comfortable in the office. She sat behind
her desk as Shaduk knocked on the door.
“Malady,
you called for me?”
“Yes,
come in. I want you to keep an eye on Dr. Harrington. Follow him closely and
report back to me immediately. I want to know everywhere he goes and with whom
he converses. Make this your highest priority.”
“Trail
the psychologist? Are you sure you want me to do that? I feel as though you’ll
be disappointed and, if I may say, quite bored with my report.” Said Shaduk.
“You
work for me, and this is what I want. Now go!” Leeana nearly shouted. The
detective quickly left the office.
