Rhys's POV

"How is Ocellus?!"
I questioned the 'dok-ter' who walked out from Ocellus's chamber. It's at least 2 degrees of the sun when we have returned and she had been receiving treatment from a 'dok-ter'. I have been walking left and right continuously and eventually annoyed Asch who then told me to sit down.

"Well...."
He pushed his glaoses yet before he had the chance to speak up , a familiar sound came out from the not fully closed door.

"Doctor , was it my friends out there?"
"Y-yes , your highness-"
"Let them in , instead of talking outside."
Before the 'dok-ter' could say anything , Ocellus insisted to allow our entry. The 'dok-ter' opened the door for us as we entered the room.

"Ocellus?! Are you alright?!"
Orizon pushed me out of the way as she went to hug her sister. Ocellus had a white cloth wrapped covering her eyes , bandages were found on her arm , neck and face. The cracks from the curse were found scattered across her face. Her skin was much more paler than ever.

I just hate looking her like this....

"Please don't be like this anymore."
"No promises of me not putting my dear life on the line."
Ocellus smiled as she remained silent for a second before sniffing the air?

"Noi? You're there... crying?"
We all turned to Noi who was indeed having watery cheeks. Realised the attention he have received , he quickly wiped his tears , claiming he to be alright.

"It's bad lying to your goddess , you know?"
Ocellus said with a smirk before opening her arms , allowing Noi to walk towards her and embraced her tight. Ocellus ruffled his hair as she mumbled to tell him to be alright. Noi cried in her arms as he told that he thought she won't made it out alive.

"Heh , I was too much stubborn to die now."
"Yeah , you should have know this , instead of underestimating our goddess!"
Asch shouted walking towards Noi , before his hand can smack on Noi's head , Ocellus grabbed onto it before giving us the familiar Oscar smirk.

"I'm stubborn enough to stay alive , your majesty."
"I would not like to witness my human friend being a pile of stuff , not to mention them being a growling Beast and a divine and powerful goddess we adore."
Asch's words let Ocellus stayed there silent as she soon let go of Asch's hand.

"Ahem... I hate to interrupt the time of peace that sir and miss was spending with."
The 'dok-ter' said as Orizon questioned the current condition of her sister.

"Lady Ocellus was blind as because of the curse. This one was obvious. And the cracks needed 50 nights to fix them. In this current moment , I believe it's better if we let Lady Ocellus return to her castle as I have took up so many cases that was all cursed on the psychology part. She might gone psycho like and... all the stuff yeah..."
I looked at the 'dok-ter' who was attempting to get his words together when Orizon let out a grunt.

"Okay , let's get over with this."
"Yes , Lady Oriz-"
"And no ," Orizon pointed at the 'dok-ter' as he remained silent immediately , "we're not getting things over with you."

Orizon claimed as she snapped her finger. Nothing but the 'dok-ter' vanished in mist as Orizon turned to Ocellus with quite an enraged look.

"We're talking things out with you, sister." Orizon said as Ocellus had her hand wrinkled up the blanket.

"Wow! The dok-ter' was summoned by magic?!" Noi asked as Orizon sighed , continued her conversation with Ocellus.
"Y-You realised?"
"Sis , you did this old trick back when you're still a young kid. Plus , the doctor doesn't look like he could be trusted. His difficulty of building words was your anxiety since you weren't sure with your current situation."
Orizon said as Ocellus turned away but soon spoke ,
