-What was that?- Seulgi asked after hearing the strange sound. Yongsun however, did not care because she was trying to keep Byul awake, she caressed her face with the back of her hand.

-Her temperature increased...- she murmured, the sound of footsteps made her look up and smiled briefly.

-Look Byul, the soldiers are back, you'll be fine soon- and she kissed her temple.

-Your Majesty!- the first of them greeted breathlessly -Here it is... The casserole and this will serve to... Mix everything- he said handing the objects to the oracle.

-Your Majesty, here is the bezoar!- the other soldier greeted, carrying the object in question.

-Quick, put it in the casserole- Seulgi told him and with the implements that they had brought her, she began to crush the first ingredient, making it pasty.

-Majesty! - the leader of the soldiers arrived accompanied by the doctors who were flushed for the physical effort, with them also came another soldier carrying most of the medical instruments, trying to help.

-They won't be able to treat her until she takes the antidote- Seulgi clarified -If not, the healing won't work- Yongsun nodded and cleared her throat to ask.

-Where are the other two soldiers?- one second after, one of the two who had left together came out of the bushes, he ran towards them and stopped until he was in front of the Queen; placed his hands on his knees and reported.

-I... I'm sorry... We searched and...- the atmosphere suddenly became very heavy -We did not find it, my partner keep searching but... - the soldier stopped talking, everyone knew what he would say.

Yongsun looked at Seulgi but she was busy with her own guilt.

-There must be another way...- one of the doctors spoke; at that moment Byul started coughing.

-Yong... Sun...- the beast whispered weakly

-Please don't speak Byul- her wife begged her.

-I have to tell you something- the beast insisted, Yongsun wanted to protest but the look of her wife stopped her from doing it -It was my gift for the success of the fair- she lowered her hand to her belt and took off a bag -They looked beautiful like you, Yongsun- between sobs, the tamer kissed her forehead -I'd never seen them before, I want you to have them and sow them in my father's palace, so they will bloom among the beasts, like you blossomed in my heart- she opened the bag and put her fingers inside, searching for something -Everyone will love them- she took out a bouquet of white flowers -But never as much as I love you- and handed the bouquet to Yongsun with a smile.

Everyone was in shock, nobody spoke, and despite their condition Byul noticed the strange behavior.

-Moon idiot!- Seulgi was the first to react, snatching the flowers from her hand.

-Hey!- the beast complained weakly -Give it b...- Yongsun stopped her in mid-sentence by kissing her.

-Byul, that flower is white Dittany, the missing ingredient- Byul was thinking and trying to understand whats going on, and... Why Seulgi had taken the gift of her wife!

The oracle separated a flower and added the rest of the bouquet to the potion, mixing everything.

-It's your turn- she said to Yongsun as she handed her the casserole -You must give life to this thing- Yongsun nodded understanding that Eric's poison was not common, the concoction would need a breath of life to fight the thanatos* with which the feudal had infected Byul, she blew a kiss, impregnating the antidote with eros*.
