Seraphine's Health (1)

"MOVE!" I shouted carrying Seraphine in my arms into the building and up the stairs to my room.

"Crowned Prince?!"

Emile, my Commander of the Knights returned from his search, followed me.

"I need a maid! Bring some clothes in and dress her!" I shouted maids rushed inside my room while I exited in return so that they could properly clothe her. I felt anxious.

"Your highness, who was that?"

I paced back and forth restlessly worried that she's going to die of the fever. You can die from a fever right?

"Ha..." A hand roughly grabbed my shoulder and forcefully turned me towards them.

"GET A GRIP, YOUR HIGHNESS!" Emile shouted at my face I stared at him in shock my thoughts startled "you're like a father worried about their wife giving birth"

"..." I exhaled the breath that I didn't notice I was holding "thank you, Emile"

"No thanks necessary but who was that?"

"She's my-"

"Your highness sorry to interrupt, but it seems like the Emperor sent the Royal Physician here. Doctor Edgar"

The Knight from earlier that he was with at the Oasis informed him, a tall handsome man who had white slicked back hair stepped inside, he's sharp golden eyes hidden behind glasses. He was holding a black medical satchel gripping it tightly.

"The Moon Shall Shine its light of hope in the Moon Kingdom" He greeted

"Please take a look at the health of my sister!" I pleaded.

"Your highness we have properly clothed and dried the lady"

"You may go" I dismissed the maids they gave a short bow and left

"I'll take a look then" I was about to step forward as well when he raised his hand at me "your highness your presence is not needed rest assured that her highness is in good hands. I will take good care of her"

"I don't trust you" I spat at him

"Your highness crowned prince Lucianus, time is of the essence. Your sister's life will be in more danger while I stand here Idly by his majesty the Emperor has sent me in hopes that I may assist if anything happened to the holder of the prophecy"

"Wha-"

"You can go" Emile interrupted

The Doctor nodded and went to my room. I stood there dumbstruck, my uncle knew Seraphine would arrive? How?

"So she was your sister" Emile muses

"How does my Uncle know that she would arrive?" I said staring blankly in space.

A knock caught my attention, I turned to where the sound was and the Commanders of the Imperial Palace stepped inside the living room.

"We apologize if we are interrupting anything"

Commander of the 1st Order of the Sun Knights Core. Raulyn Fort.

"Crowned Prince Lucianus, his majesty your uncle has given the order to escort her highness to the Sun Palace."

Commander of the 2nd Order of the Sun Knights Corona. Alfonso Collins.

"Escort" I scoffed, annoyed "how did my uncle know that my sister will come here today?!"

"We do not know crowned prince"

"Do not know my ass!"

"Crowned Prince Lucianus! You are losing your composure, calm down" Emile reminded.

"Alright then" I pushed my hair back in annoyance a strand of hair falling in front of my face "when are you going to escort her to the Sun Palace then?"

"Right now if possible, but it seems like it isn't"

"I guess that you guys have common sense," I said with a tone of sarcasm "but even if it is a direct order from the Emperor himself I will not allow my sister be taken to the Sun Palace!"

"You are being unreasonable crowned prince"

"I don't care! She'll be endangered if I'm not around! I know my sister more than you do! And since she's here in this world now she's bound to get endangered and killed!"

"That is why his majesty has ordered the 1st and 2nd Order of the Sun Knights to escort her safely to the Capital"

"Why does she even need to go to the Capital?!" I shouted!

"..." The two commanders looked at each other.

"If you don't give me a valid reason then I am NOT permitting my little sister to go to the Capital. Even if you two refuse to do, so then I will gladly fight you to the death just, so she could stay with me"

"Ha..." Raulyn Fort heaved out a sigh "we will let her rest and heal first before anything else, then we will talk again crowned prince" he pats Alfonso's arm, he nods in agreement both of them saluted and exit the room

"You're crazy about your sister huh?"

"Emile keep your comments to yourself please"

"In any case. I need to tell you my report. Why don't you go to your office and sit down?" Emile suggested.

"I guess I should" I agreed

I looked back at my room worriedly, but I know Emile is going to stop me if I wanted to check. I went to my office and sat down.

"Then report. I leaned back on my chair.

"Baron Esmael has fled but there are clues of where he is going"

"Oh?"

"Right now we are currently at the Town of Palm in Tree Palm Oasis, he hid here in hopes that he would not be found, but I suspect that he will go at the province of Alpha Centauru next, he's tracks are still fresh, so if you would allow me to command the knights we can hunt him down and finish him once and for all"

"I give you permission then"

"As you command" He salutes lowering his head "but"

"You still have something to report?"

"Your highness as your close friend, I'm concerned about your emotional state right now. Your usual calm and cool demeanour disappears in an instant whenever your sister gets involved" My brows creased at what he was saying,

"I know that you are worried about her but do remember that you are a crowned prince, and you must also think rationally"

"I'll-" He had a point "I'll keep your opinion in mind"

"Then I shall take my leave" He salutes again before he leaves.

"Seraphine I hope you're okay," I said to myself leaning my head back looking at the ceiling.

I busied myself with paperwork to keep my mind from worrying about her. Time went slowly, and I couldn't contain myself any more. I stood up exited my office and went to my room. I grabbed the handle and opened it.

"You couldn't contain yourself" The doctor shakes his head in disapproval.

"How is she?" I asked as I walked towards my bed.

"I'm monitoring her condition, I've managed to lower her fever, but I still need to keep a close eye on her. I've also applied ointment on her bruised and swollen face" The doctor says.

"That's good" I mustered a smile

"I told you that she's in good hands, crowned prince, so you should go back to work. And please refrain from shouting. Your voice could be heard here"

"Then why didn't you just cast a silencing spell on the room?" I questioned.

"There's a spell already put up here If I would cast a spell I would be in trouble yes?"

I forgot that this part of this building had a warning spell on it, it would alert me immediately of whoever had any malice directed towards me would enter not just that, but it would also warn me if someone has cast a different spell on this room.

"Right" I nod in confirmation

"Now please leave your highness, I apologize, but she still needs to rest"

"... I owe you an apology for earlier"

"No need. We Daeemons do not care about things like that"

"Still. I apologise"

"Whatever relieves your feelings, your highness"

I nod and then gave a last look at Seraphine's peaceful sleeping form.

The heaving movement of her chest is enough for my mind to obtain peace. She's alive and just resting. I went back to my office and went to work again. This time focusing on it.
