Chapter 4

How did this happen? They have been extra careful when it comes to the security of the palace. When it comes to the Queen for, they know she needs extra protection than the King because of her origin. Others might not realize it but Flurio is rich with rare stones such as diamond, ruby and sapphire, perfect to fuel a whole country. That's why they need her.

They need her wealth. And for once in his life, Kai feel fear like never before. Fear that he will lose her just like how he loses his mother. She could see him pacing back and forth beside her bed while the royal doctor tends to her shoulder wound. It happened so quickly that she failed to dodge the attacked. The attackers managed to escape but she could have sworn she recognized one of them from the colour of their eyes.

You see, people from Flurio have only had one colour. And that is brown unlike the people from Nagisa. That's how each kingdom can differentiate their people. Based on their eye colour.

"Husband, your pacing is making me having a headache," she replied as her wound is sealed with white bandages while her lady-in-waiting helps her to put on her robe.

Stopping his pacing, her took a seat beside her bed and look at her with worried eyes. Scanning her body and face for any more wounds, he let out a soft sigh of relief. For now.

"Leave us," he commanded as the servants bowed their head and left the royal couple.

As soon as the door were closed, he laid down his head on her unwounded shoulder while closing his eyes. Looking at him with pitiful eyes, she softly tucked his hair behind his ears as she hugs him slowly. She knows how it feels. How it feels to lose someone you love. Like her mother. Maybe this is the one thing that they both can relate to each other. Losing a mother at a very young age.

"I thought I lost you. I really thought you did Yukino…...I'm sorry I…,"

"Enough. I am here and alive husband. You saved me so do not apologized for it is not your fault,"

Clenching his teeth to seal in his whimpers, she hugs him close to her, letting him find comfort in her hugs for this is the best she can do to ease his fear. Soft breeze surrounds them that evening as the sun sets in the horizon. Soon he has finally calmed down and was sleeping peacefully in her arms.

Her lady-in-waiting enters the room hours after that while bringing their dinner. Standing beside her, Yukino softly stroked his hair while staring at the full moon outside the balcony.

"A storm is coming Mina..." she mumbles.

"Then we best get ready my lady," Mina said.

The sound of a falcon soaring in the sky pierce the area as it landed on the balcony. Four figures kneel down with their heads bowed down at the moment as a figure went towards the falcon and to read the note attached to its leg. A sinister smile appears on its face.

"Well, gentlemen. I think it's about time for us to pay a visit to the king and queen of Nagisa," the figure said.
