Amor Enim Bellum

6

Elias was woke up the feeling of being shaken, opening his eyes, he looked around groggily and came face to face with Zia, his Herre.

"Is everything okay Zia?"

"Yes my King, I just came to report my finding about the girl. Fang did an extremely thorough examination."

Nodding Elias motioned for her to continue, so she launched into everything she was told by the doctor earlier.
Sucking in a breath, he leaned back into his chair and ran his hands over his face .

"I wonder if it would be possible for her to have an option to have skin grafts done to cover the scars, when she wakes up, whenever that may be."

Shrugging Zia replied, "I am not sure, shall I go ask Fang, my King?"

Nodding, he explained it would be best to find out as soon as possible, so whenever Nova woke up she would be able to have options of what she would like to be done.

It was a massive waiting game as of right now because she fell into a coma. Her body was extremely weak, it seemed her escaping, travelling without much food or water and sleep, her body ended up shutting down.

Everyone who was aware of the situation was extremely alarmed at her condition and others who weren't, were worried nonetheless because it was a young girl.

Elias sighed and got up.

"I need to call a meeting for everyone, I want to fill them in one what the current situation is. Serah said the whole castle is in an uproar because of what transpired outside the gates."

Zia nodded and shared her agreements. Walking to the intercom, he pressed down and made the announcement, that everyone in the club, except for the members on patrol were to be in the chapel at 8:30AM tomorrow for an announcement.

"My King, I think it is time for you to go to bed and get some rest. You look like you are about to crash. We cannot have that."

"You are right, I just need to stop by Benji's wing to give him the updates that you have provided. He'd grab me by the balls if I didn't let him know tonight before everyone else. You know how he is."

Shaking her head, Zia replied, "Sometimes I wonder if you two weren't destined to be married. You guys act like a married couple, that's for sure."

Laughing, Elias opened the door and let his Herre walk out first, as he had manners.
Parting separate ways, he headed in the direction that would take him to Benjamin's wing and also his own, while she headed to her room.

Pressing the button to call the elevator, he rocked back on his heels and thought about what he would say in the meeting tomorrow.
He wanted to make sure that it was clear to his family that she was to be treated with respect, despite where and who she originated from.

To him, children don't get to choose their parents. Therefore, he would not fault them for their parents actions or past, its not up to them.

The "ding" of the elevator shook him out of his thoughts, watching the doors slide open, he stepped in and pressed the button for Benjamin's floor.

In a flash, Elias was stepping into the foyer of the Nilsson Wing or as Benjamin liked to call it, the Awesome Wing.

"Benji?!"

Seconds later you could hear a pair of footsteps coming down the stairs at a fast pace.

"Shut up you idiot, my wife is sleeping!"

Elias pointed out that he was yelling too, which caused him to start shushing him. Waving his King over to the kitchen, he sat on one of the cushioned stools that sat by the island.

"I take it you came because there was an update?"

"Yes, Zia found out everything that is currently going on with Nova. Luke was very thorough. She fell into a coma when she passed out in front of the main gate."

Benjamin stared back ay Elias in shock, "A fucking coma?? What kind of state was she in?"

He grimaced and replied, stating the doctor's report. It took everything within him to not go out, in the dead if night and murder Vinne Kröw.

That would cause a war and if he wanted to start one, he would need a legitimate reason to go after him. Not because this girl did something to him that he couldn't explain, nor had he ever felt before,

"I can tell from that look in your eye, you are plotting something. As well as you're confused on a matter. So hurry up, spit it out."

Sighing, Elias took a seat next to Benjamin.

———————————

Down in the infirmary, Doctor Luke was in his office reading up on remedies to help wake the young woman who was currently in a coma.

In Room 245, Nova lay there, struggling to remove the heavy feeling that she felt was weighing her down.
