Beauty and Beast [boyxboy]

16 Sleeping Beauty

"Home, sweet home! You're safe, now!
You don't have to worry, Your Royal Highness! You will recover soon, I am hundred percent sure!
My beloved ZhanZhan, you'll be fine, you're a strong fighter! Besides, all the Gods love you and will take care of you, no doubt about that!", ZhuoCheng whipped his teary eyes, while looking at the Prince of Rose, who was sleeping peacefully in his royal bed from The Rose palace.

"Tell me exactly everything about what and how it happened!", the head of the royal family's doctors team asked lord Wang ZhuoCheng, while forcing open Beauty's eyelids to check out his pupils.

"Yeah, dear ChengCheng, I want to hear the story of those unfortunate events again, even though you told me it in detail!
Wen Chao and all those bastards will pay, whomever they are! I promise you, ZhanZhan!", King Xiao Li of Rose thundered, taking his son's inert hand into his.

"Yes, Your Highness! I am sure that The Gods will give them a hard punishment along with yours!", Wang ZhuoCheng bowed before his king, then he started the narration of the events from the two kingdoms' border.

"There were only five border Peonian sentinels, at that border crossing point where me and ZhanZhan planned to force ourselves through. It didn't look to us too hard to win over those bored and sleepy five soldiers, but we decided to be as cautious as possible. Therefore we hid our horses behind some big rocks and large trees from nearby, then I...I swear that I thought that it would be safer for ZhanZhan to stay hidden there with the horses, until I would try dealing by myself with the guards! But my wrong decision caused this terrible disaster! I am so sorry!", ZhuoCheng burst into tears for the nth time since they arrived home, to The Rose Palace.

"No, ChengCheng, stop blaming yourself, you did nothing wrong! Thank you for protecting and staying by my beloved son's side this whole time when he was alone between strangers and enemies! It was my worst decision ever taken, not only as a father, but as a king, too! I sent the only heir of Rose to live in a foreign country instead of keeping him here where he could have been more safe than anywhere else! The only one to be blamed is me, his own father and his king, who chased him away from the safety and comfort of his own home! And now he is..., oh good Gods of heavens, please don't let him die!", King Xiao Li cried out, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"Please, Your Majesty, don't lose hope! I don't know yet and can't promise that His Royal Highness Xiao Zhan will be the same as before, but I can promise that much that we could bring him back from the comatose state. And from there we will work very  intensively with him, with a a lot of therapy, not only a medical treatment.", the head doctor knelt down before the king.

"I apologize for my weakness, you're right, Rose deserves a strong king! Please ChengCheng continue your story.", the king whipped his tears and straightened his posture in the chair from next to Beauty's bed.
