" I love you, Clesta. More than I will be able to ever convey in words." She smiled at my confession, " I love you too." She replied which came out more as a whisper because of how weak she was.I placed a kiss on her head and she raised her hand to cup my face when suddenly a sharp hiss pierced through her lips.Her hand fell on her chest. As she clutched her thin medic gown, tears welled up in her eyes. Her face contorted as agonizing pain erupted inside her body." Jude-" She mumbled under her breath as she started having trouble breathing." Celesta, love, listen to me. Try to breathe, take deep breaths." I didn't know what to do.All I could do was comfort her cupping her face, just chanting for her to breathe. I was completely helpless as she struggled to breathe and I didn't know what you do. So, I just started shouting at the top of my lungs, " Someone, Help!! She is unable to breathe. Is someone here, please? please! help her!!" I shouted like a maniac clutching her to my b

There she lay on the infirmary bed looking beautiful as ever. Her eyes were closed and slightly scrunched as if she was having a nightmare. I walked towards her and settled down beside her bed. I combed through her hair that was sprawled around the bed and then held her free hand which was not in the capture of syringes. That's when I noticed black marks sprawling out from her chest as they were slowly capturing and sucking her life. I raised my hand towards her chest that was revealed through the hospital gown, I traced the markings they felt like burning in contrast to Celesta hand's that I was holding. That's when I noticed how she slightly twitched, ' If only I could take away the pain.'I kissed her knuckles, softer than my lips, and moved my other hand from her chest to her hair, combing through them as I remembered how it used to always calm her down.For some time I just spent their sitting staring at her. If she had been awake she would have blushed at my behavior and swatt

(Back in the past)I stood there my eyes trained toward Celesta's room waiting patiently. The infirmary was unreasonably quiet and empty. There was not a doctor or nurse in sight nor any patients, which was incredibly strange as the infirmary was opened for every royal staff - maid, workers, soldiers, and even nobles from time to time. So not having anyone around in the infirmary is quite unnerving, 'Is there a particular reason behind it? it must be related to Celesta?' I decided to inquire to the King." Your Highness, is there a particular reason for the infirmary being so empty? or is it just a coincidence?""Yes, we have decided to keep information regarding Celesta's state hidden. As to not create chaos among the general pricers. I would also suggest you do the same. It's best for the kingdom and Celesta."I nodded at King's explanation understanding his point of view. That's when suddenly Queen Sophie erupted from Celesta's ward. I automatically straightened my back preparing

" What?! but why will I not come with you." Ralph argued with me now irritated. " Because who will drive the carriage back home safely? You are not planning to leave it here." " Well, and why don't you stay and drive carriage home back safely and I go with Sir Elijah. " " Because I was the one who took oath in front of King, not you, kiddo." " Don't call me that I am adult more than you to be press-" he growled at me when Ralph got cut off." Enough!! with two of you! This is not the time to fight. my niece needs me, and I will not be late because of two of you decided to throw tantrums." Sir Elijah shouted, finally losing his cool. " Jude is right, Ralph. You must stay and take a back carriage home this time from a safe route. Where there is not an entity sitting and waiting to eat you alive." Sir Elijah snatches the vessel from Ralph's hand."Now here, Jude, let me show you how it is supposed to be done."Sir Elijah took a deep breath opened the potion bottle and took two drop o

( Back in the past)Swallowing some air I finally made my way inside the hall. It was filled with people, some dressed very extravagantly while others were very modest. It was quite easy to tell that this was quite a global event. I looked around trying to spot a familiar face but it was so crowded I wasn't able to. I roamed around looking for Sir Elijah and mistakenly called out some strangers resembling him.After what it, felt like an eternity passed. I finally sat down on a chair and dejected, ' There is no way I will be able to find him here.' I murmured to myself as I took a sip of some red wine handed to me. "Jude?! Is that you" I looked behind me in pleasant surprise to find the man I have been looking for. There stood Sir Elijah with a confused look on his face."Sir Elijah! " I exclaimed as I stood at once to face him."Wow, it is you. No offence young man but I never took you to be interested in potion and science you always strikes me more of a sword man. That's why I am q

'Ralph!! Ralph!! come out!! We have landed!!!' I shouted for my brother to come out of the carriage.After a couple of seconds, Ralph finally staggered out of the cloud of smoke while dragging the storage box behind which was still producing the smoke. ' Why are dragging it with you, I finally was able to escape the smoke by getting out of the chariot and now you are bringing it back for me.' I took some steps back while yelling at him.He just shook his head and muffled out, ' No, No, I am just_-Coughs-' and then he bend down with his hands on his knees and took some breaths. Finally, he stands upright again and then kicks the storage box to the ground that had still smoke clouds coming out of it. The liquids spill on the dirt and slowly start seeping into it. Once the liquid disappears, Ralph walks to me while adjusting his coat and says, ' If you want to solve a problem, you should always dig at its root, rather than hacking away its leaves and stems.'I just rolled my eyes at hi
