Sci close his book and let out a shaking breath.
"This is serious but I need ask the prince himself to confirm my suspicious about it." said Sci,take a wet towel on top of Swad's head. He look at both Royalties and bow.
"May I ask,your hightneses? Did prince Swad... marked someone before? " Sci asks them. Both King and Queen look at each other and shake their head.
"Swad never fall in love. He never interested in anyone. " said the king, Lord Toby, Queen Song thought for a moment before she says,
"or women. He never talk to any women before. Even when the female maids took interest in him, he only thought them as a slave. Nothing more. " said her.
"But brother interested in man." said Moon who just show up, with his book in his hand.
"What do you mean by that, my dear? Swad never like anyone before." said the Queen.
"Plus, madam Joku also told me that her children, Nightmare and Dream are the only one that friends with Swad. " she adds.
"You forgot the most important part, mother. Brother love Nightmare. I even saw him marked Nightmare in the garden yesterday. " said Moon.The king's and Queen's eyes widden when they hear the news.
"B-but Madam Joku said that Nightmare was bitten by a hound to protect Swad. " said Miss Song.
"That's a lie. " All of them look at Swad who mumble his word slowly but they still can hear him.
" I bite Nightmare. I marked him. He told his mom that he was bitten by a hound to not let me get into trouble. " said Swad weakly, Sci nods his head and write it in his note book.
"So my suspicious is true. Your Majesty, Prince Swad has been diagnosed and he'll likely have problem with his future mate. Prince Swad will most likely turn insane, little by little. He also could became very obsessive to find his mate, But don't worry, his insanity is under control. But if he finally found his mate. He'll most likely breeds them until his mate give birth to 3 children to become sane again. " said Sci.
Both queen and king hugs their oldest child and pat his head. Queen Song call Madam Joku to ask her when she's coming back but something happened.
"Greetings, your majesty. What can I help you? " says madam Joku.
"my I ask, when you will came back, madam? "
"I'm afraid it will be for a long time. "
"Can I speak to Nightmare? I've got something to tell him. "
"Nightmare... he's gone." says madam Joku. The queen heard Dream's voice in the background. He crying too. She heard someone trying to ressure miss Joku.
"I-i'm sorry for you lost... What happen?"
"There was a storm accused. A bad one. N-nightmare was thrown up from the boat. T-the crew couldn't find his body. "
" I-i just want to tell you that we need do find Nightmare because... Swad marked him yesterday and they need to mate with each other next year. "
Said Queen Song."Swad is now currently in shock. Dr. Sci told us that they can't stay away from each other. We'll send the rescue team to find Nightmare soon. " said her.
3 weeks passed but there's still no sign of Nightmare. Swad become very aggressive toward anyone who's in his path. Moon would stay in the library and never talk to Swad since Nightmare's disappearance. Swad became more violent towards the servant if he didn't take his medication.
"Is this the reason why the royalties need to get married early?" The king asks Sci. Sci nods his head.
"Unfortunately, yes. Since he'll became a king next year, I'd prefer if you let him take the throne and put the medication in his food. With this method, we can still control his sanity. But of course, we need to find Nightmare. It seems Nightmare still alive, because Prince Swad still became more insane, little by little. If his mate dead, he won't do this. He'll be normal." said Sci while looking Swad who just fall asleep.
Nightmare look at the sky above him. He was saved by several Siren and Sharks. They, for some reason didn't attack Nightmare because they thought him as a leader. They also could turn into a normal skeleton if they're dry enough. They also help Nightmare to gather some food since for next island they are in right now are isolated and have countless fruitless trees.
"Boss! We've got more fishes for you!" said Killer. Killer is a skeleton mer-shark with beautiful red shark tale. He have weird black tears coming out of his eyesockets. At the same time, Horror, another mer-shark with a broken skull prepares woods to cook the fishes and meat that was hunted down by another mer-shark, Dust. Reaper, or siren would help them to find any boats so they can escape the isolated island. Dust come back with several deer on his back.
"Well, I guess it's okay for now." said Nightmare to himself. Thanks to their help, they live inside cave with a bunch of hay to sleep on.
He hate the fact that he's the oldest one except reaper who is far older than him for thousand years. The mersharks are like a children to him. Despite them being immortal, they thought Nightmare is a perfect father figure for them.
"I wonder, Reaper... Where's their parents? " Nightmare asks reaper cuddled with his lover, Geno. Geno is a mermaid with red tail like Killer but he got a big slash on his chest, attacked by a fisherman who wanted for his beautiful scales.
"Their parent's leave them when they just hatched from their egg. They were just a baby bone before. Geno took them in for a several years until they're mature enough to hunt." said reaper, looking at his sleeping lover.
"how about you? I never thought that you survived when I accidentally touch you to save you from the storm." said reaper while looking at Nightmare.
" I-i don't know... I was going to norther kingdom with my mother, when the storm accure. It's been weeks... They have forgotten about me, I guess.. " said Nightmare.
"Hey, we can revenge for you. I found a pirate ship on the other side of the island. They already killed by my touch. Wanna be a pirate?" Reaper asks Nightmare with a smirk. Nightmare let out an evil chuckle. He oat Killer head and look at the three young mer-shark.
"That's not a bad idea. I want to take revenge on Dream, my twin brother. He's mother's favourite child after all." said him.
