...35...

I AM AFFIANCED TO HIM💍

For the whole of that day, they had neither lunch nor dinner, no food and no water as commanded by Princess Hera-Mera.

They stayed by their Lady's side till the morrow.

They were unable to do a thing except sleep, watch over her and absolutely nothing else.

The dawn broke with their Lady looking pale and sickly.

Vura checked her thoroughly and discovered then that she was running a high fever.

She suspected that the Lady's untreated wounds were to blame for the symptom.

The Princess must have applied some sort of thing to the whip before using it to cause her lady unbearable pain.

Xiera called for help from the guards standing outside the cell—the ones who ignored them totally.

It was Hayeesha who came in, having bribed the guards on duty.

She brought them as much snacks as she could carry, with medicine and ointment.

The Lady didn't speak to any of them, just hurdled by the wall, with closed eyes.

The maid left after a few minutes and Xiera tried to coerce their Lady into eating.

But, she refused to do so.

She also refused to take the medicine and refuted for the ointment to be applied onto the wounds on her back.

And before the noon hour, their Lady's condition got worse.

Yet, their dire request for a doctor to be summoned was ignored over and over again.

And soon, she slipped into an unconscious sleep.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, the Little Prince sat on his golden throne in his palace.

His aide, Octavia was standing right by his side, as always.

He was sitting there amd listening to matters of his manor.

Such which he had not been able to do since his elder brother, the emperor kept him so busy most of the time.

He was trying to think of a solution to a matter when one of his trusted men walked into the small gathering.

He was Danlis, just one out of his best swordsmen.

He calmly came up to his throne and stopped.

Then, he rendered a deep bow like he always did although it wasn't actually necessary to do so.

'Greetings to My Munificent Royalty,' he greeted the Little Prince.

He remained in his bow despite having completed his obeisance.

'Thank you Danlis. Now please rise, stand upright in a way befitting of your status,' he said through gritted teeth.
