"Sorry princess, I talk too much" said the old woman.
"No, so now what should I do to seal and remove the curse?"
"Prepare to receive my Majesty's magic power, it will be very painful but you have to endure it" Rubia nodded with confidence.
The old witch closed her eyes then spread out her hands, then put her hands together over her chest, until a bright blue ray of light appeared and her hands formed the beam into a jewel ball and the old woman pushed the jewel ball and threw it on Rubia's chest.
"Aaarrrggggg" Rubia groaned in pain after a slight bounce, yet she continued to hold on with all her strength.
"Hold Your Majesty, your body will soon adapt to the magic jewel, I have implanted it in your heart, for the next few days you will continue to be in pain, you must try to endure it, I have implanted it, if not or you feel unable to bear the pain and give up then the jewel will come out by itself, which means you have failed" he said with a slightly staggered body.
Rubia nodded in the midst of his unbearable pain.The old magician looked in pain and vomited blood after the magic gem entered Rubia's body.
The old witch wiped the blood in her mouth "Uhuuukkk, I'll come back to see you after I recuperate" Rubia nodded Then the old woman disappeared from before Rubia.
Axel who kept Rubia beside him woke up from hearing Rubia's voice in pain, Axel saw cold sweat dripping on Rubia's forehead and entire body, it made him very panicked.
"Your Majesty" Axel called out to Rubia while shaking his body, before Rubia opened her eyes, she woke up from her dream that felt real.
"Ugh" Rubia held her chest in pain.
"Which part is Your Majesty sick? Should I call a healing priest?"axel panicked.
Rubia shook her head then she controlled her expression so Axel wouldn't worry about her too much "How long am I asleep?" he said as he continued to hold his chest.
"Three Days Your Majesty"
"What's? Did the Monster attack again while I slept?"
"Yes, swarms upon swarms of monsters kept coming, but we got rid of them with the witches"
"How are the witches doing?"
"They're good, now they can dispel the dark aura of the monsters"
"Thank God"
"You look very pale Your Majesty, I'll call the healing priest"
"No no, I'm fine, can you call Ferderick?"
Instantly Axel immediately fell silent "Alright" he came out with a grim face.
Axel exited the tent and found Ferderick sitting in front of a campfire not far from Rubia's tent, on a cold and silent night Ferderick was sitting alone there.
Axel approached him "You, Your Majesty is looking for you" he said in a cynical tone of voice.
Ferderick immediately got up from his seat and headed to where Rubia was.Axel could feel how Ferderick looked very worried about Rubia who had been asleep for three days.But it made his feelings chaotic and unsettled.
"Excuse me Your Majesty" Ferderick said before he entered Rubia's tent.
"Fer, are you okay?" he said when he saw Ferderick come in and approach him, Rubia's face still seemed to feel guilty about the incident before she was unconscious.
Ferderick stopped in front of Rubia "I'm fine, how about you?" Ferderick was increasingly worried because he saw Rubia who was paler than the last time he saw her and his breath was panting as his hands continued to touch his chest.
"Please forgive me for what happened before I lost consciousness that day"
"Please don't feel too guilty about it Your Majesty"
"Not that I'm curious, but I don't have the right to ask that"
"Don't you already know about the curse the royal line suffered?"
Ferderick nodded "Yes"
"This is a symptom that strikes me, the longer the symptoms will get worse, I want to kill whoever is in front of me, I have trouble controlling myself, I want to kill, there was a time when I was silent and suddenly just wanted to see the blood" Rubia glanced at the look on Ferderick's face that did not feel shocked or surprised.
"Don't you want to keep it a secret?Why did you tell me?"
"Because I need you"
Ferderick's face turned red, he immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.
"Is there anything you need Your Majesty?"
"Yes,ada"
"Whatis that? I'll get it"
"Sit down, Fer, please stay here, and hold my hand"
Ferderick flinched "Your Majesty what do you want?" his words stammered slightly in embarrassment, the two men had different thoughts in their heads.Although ashamed Ferderick could not refuse Rubia's helping hand, he said, while Ferderick continued to turn his gaze in the other direction due to being very nervous about the situation, Rubia had returned to sleep as she felt more comfortable after coming into contact with him, the pain in her chest steadily lessened, he just tried to hold it because several times in contact with Ferderick Rubia can be free from the void that causes himself to become crazy.Soever now, he feels a little comfortable it feels as if he is sharing the pain with her.
Ferderick glanced at Rubia, in vain he felt nervous alone after seeing Rubia who returned to sleep, he saw Rubia's face filled with cold sweat, and he looked at her, he wiped Rubia's face with a handkerchief periodically and continued to notice Rubia who looked uncomfortable all night.
Chip chip chip.The sound of birds clearly heard from the place indicates a bright morning has come, Axel walked carrying a bowl of porridge towards the tent Rubia with a happy look of face, Axel walked, when he entered Raut his face turned sour because he saw the sight of two people holding hands, both of them were still asleep.
Axel approached and swayed the wobble of ferderick's legs with his feet, Ferderick woke up and looked at Axel's wrathful face, Ferderick immediately let go of Rubia's hand and rubbed his eyes.
"You must go, do not make rumors in this situation" whispered Axel in his ear.Ferverick who felt bad for the sight seen by the Fiancee Rubia just nodded and immediately left.
Before long Rubia opened her eyes and found Axel sitting in the position of Ferderick who previously sat in front of him.
"You've woken up, Your Majesty?"Axel smiled after seeing her open her eyes.
"Yes, are you here Axel?" Rubia wakes up and sits down.
"Yes, I brought you breakfast, how are you?"
"I've been feeling better, thank you for putting the porridge on the table"
"All right"
"Where's Ferderick?"
Axel's face immediately turned back to annoyed "Can't you not look for it when I'm in front of you Your Majesty??"
Rubia glanced at his face that was upset with him, she just saw the look of Axel's face like that for the first time, Rubia momentarily thought, thinking, it turns out that all this time he was disturbed by Ferderick even though he did not show it so much, was Axel affected by rumors circulating in the empire?. "I'm sorry Axel"
"Had it been, I apologized for showing too much of my feelings in this situation" he felt awkward after finally getting an apology from Rubia.
