He's my Fairytale

⸢ 80 ⸥

Sean and Eins were already standing outside the Prince bedroom door early in the morning to visit people with different intentions. Unfortunately, De An told them to not come back until the Young Master woke up.

After telling people to go away in a nice way, he just stood there outside, guarding the door so other people won't disturb those inside.

Inside the room, the light from the sun shone through the curtain, making the room a little brighter.

The man picked up the warm towel on the basin of water that was placed on the bedside table, then squeezed it. After that, he gently held the young man’s wrist and wipe it clean.

He was patient, meticulously wiping every part clean. Not even sparing the feet. Seeing the cute round toes, he squeeze it and felt it softness. The tightened brows from being focus on his work relaxed.

After wiping people clean, he put the towel back then started to gently massage the young man's arms and legs. So after waking up, it won't be hard for him to walk. Although he could just carry him everywhere, he still didn't want Eugene to suffer.

When he finished the massage that almost took him an hour, he started to apply the medicine on the wounds then put the gauze. He then stood up and drank a sip of water then held the young man's chin and opened his mouth. Bending down to pass the water with his mouth, guiding the unconscious person to drink it.

He repeated this action until he finished two glasses of water. The man licks his lips, then puts the glass back on the table and just lays down, facing the person sleeping peacefully. He poke the cheek which still had a gauze, then the nose, the cheek again then his fingers finally landed on the lips.

Suddenly, he wanted to kiss so he really kissed the other. Then just stared at the others face. The gauze in the face was still there so he couldn't completely see it, but this didn't stop him from staring at the other. After a while, he stood up then wallked to the couch and started to do his job.

No one saw him get back to his bedroom so the people outside didn't know that the Prince was inside his own room, except the butler who was also outside.

So, every day they only see De An standing outside the room. They thought he was guarding the door so when the person inside woke up, he could immediately respond. Then at night, De An sent a stack of papers to the Emperor then got the new ones that needed to be reviewed.

With this, they thought the Prince didn't love that person anymore. How could he not visit him if he still love him right? But they were slightly puzzled, they hadn't seen the Prince’s shadow for the past few days. It's like he disappeared from people's sight. Where could he possibly be?

And on this every day, Eins didn't give up visiting Eugene. He even wanted to fight with De An, Sean just stopped him and caught him. Telling him to leave the Palace, Eins wasn't a ‘guest’ anymore and he didn't have any rights to stay in the Palace, he even insulted the Prince here and there.

Sean even had an urge to ask the guards to get him a sack of rice so he could put this stubborn person inside and tie the sack, then throw him to the river.

The sound of pen scratching the paper was the only thing that could be heard in the room, Cariell couldn't even hear his own breathing. His brows were in a frown, looking at the paper he was writing with.

The paper contains a text for him to quickly get a woman and marry then let her give birth. Looks like they still haven't given up eh? So, after writing in it for a while he threw it casually and started to read the next one.

He lives in seclusion and peace, inside his room, with a sleeping beauty on his bed. He was doing his work here. Why did he do this? So when Eugene woke up, he would be the first person to know and would be the first person to be seen by him.

But he was a little troubled, it was already so long but Eugene hadn't woken up yet. According to the sleeping beauty story he heard from Eugene before whenever he tell him a story, just a kiss from the Prince would wake the Princess up. But he always kiss him, morning, noon, evening and even a goodnight kiss.

Is it because he wasn't a Princess? Or is it because he wasn't pricked by a needle? Or is it because the Evil Queen didn't give him a poison apple?(Snow White)He even asked De An about this but his always capable Butler failed to give him an answer. He wasn't that disappointed though, as he knew it was impossible for it to as simple as that.

Cariell was immersed in his own thoughts that a knock on the door let his wandering mind go back to him.

“Come in.”

De An, who's outside, opened the door when he heard this. He then step aside so his Majesty could go inside.

Marius sat down in front of his son, he leaned his back on the chair then the Father and son just stared at each other like that. Marius was the first one to open his mouth.

“So when?”

Though he didn't say what he was talking about, Cariell still got what he was saying, he put his gaze back on the paper while he gave his response.

“You just want to pass your work on to me.”

The Father was silent for a while, then said no.

“You're just too lazy to do your job so you wanted to give it to me.”

“You're thinking too much.”

Cariell put down the paper on his hand then looked at the person in front of him again.

“Then why can't you wait for me to take your throne?”

Marius didn't speak anymore, he can't tell him that what he said earlier was true, right?

“Unless you gave me an acceptable reason then I won't sit there until Eugene wakes up and won't have any problem with his body. In short, until he's completely cured and could jump and run around.”

Then he went back to read the papers, Marius also took one and read it. This was half of his work, he was really shameless to pass his work to his son so he could retire early and enjoy life. He was already old anyway so why can't this kid just give him a damn rest.

If Cariell knew his thoughts he would tell him he wasn't even fifty yet, how could you call yourself old?

Marius stayed there the whole day, De An just delivered the lunch for the two people who didn't talk to each other again since that conversation. They quietly ate their meal, then went back to work. Marius even told Cole who was standing outside with De An to fetch his work and put it there.

This is how the Father and son bond their time, by burying their face on papers together.

By the time half of it was finished, the moon already showed itself in the sky.

The two stretched their bodies then ate the dinner De An delivered. After that, Marius asked Cole to bring back the papers to his study room while he went back to his bedroom to sleep.

This kind of thing happened since that day, so the people outside knew that the Emperor really favored that person and that he even stayed all day in the room. If it weren't for them knowing that the person inside was the Prince lover, they might think he was also in love with it.

This rumor reached Marius ears that made him speechless. Why do people have such a rich imagination? Why can't they just do their own thing and mind their own business? So since then he hasn't visited anymore. Less that rumor will spread again.

Thus, without his Highness who disappeared in people's eyes and his Majesty visiting the young man, they now thought he wasn't loved anymore.

Who even spread this false information, Marius wanted to meet that person to crack its head open just to see what kind of brain it has.
