The Ruler's Love Contract

Keep Trying

Ara could not believe that she would see Lily's condition so badly in the holding cell. There is no bed or mattress to lay down the body. There was only the rotting rice scraps and also the mossy plastic cups that were visible in front of his two eyes. Lily was treated so badly by the prince's own future consort. No doubt Ara was even more upset about the behavior of the princess.

On the cold floor, Lily was locked up for months. He was cold and also suffered bitterness. But this time, he was found. Ara and Rain bear witness to a long-separated meeting between the two men.

A few moments later...

My husband and I are still waiting for the results of the healer's examination of Lily's condition now, after her confinement in the palace basement. The prince accompanied the examining physician. He seemed to be very worried about the situation of the girl, no longer even thinking about himself who had not had time to eat since morning. I must admit that the prince loved Lily so much.

"Darling, are you okay?"

My handsome husband was aware of my feelings. I just kept quiet and bowed sadly in the waiting room. After Lily is found, the prince immediately calls upon the soldiers to take Lily to the palace's outpatient room. He also asked the healer to immediately come and check on his condition. Unmitigated, the entire court physician was deployed by him. His love for the girl was so great. Unfortunately, Lily has not been awakened.

What a fate Lily. I thought I was the only one who felt the bitterness of life. I used to be all-starved, even to get a mouthful of rice was difficult. But it turns out there was something more bitter than me when I saw him. He became a month of violence. In comparison, I feel more fortunate than him. Seeing his condition I did not have the heart, especially to feel his suffering.

I honestly didn't know the cause of the princess until I did something this cruel to Lily. But my hunch says, she doesn't want Lily to follow the contest held by the palace. The princess was worried about losing to Lily. So that's what made him do this kind of thing. Isn't that princess the son of the people in this country? He could do anything with his money. Getting rid of others is easy for him.

"Em, I'm fine, honey. I just feel sorry for Lily. Almost his entire body had scratches. My mind will not be fixed if he is tortured in custody." I tell you what's on my mind.

My husband pulled me to lay himself on his chest. "Everything that happens has become a suratan that must be passed, dear. I hope there is some wisdom we can draw from this. Relax, yes." My husband rubbed my head and kissed my forehead.

I nodded while deeply inhaling his scent. I admit that she was a tranquilizer in the moment of turmoil that struck my heart. There's nothing more to hide from us. Especially to become an eternal secret. We are united in the sacred bond of marriage. The love contract we signed.

It's over, isn't it?

Suddenly I saw the prince and the healer coming out of the palace's outpatient room. However, they are just the two of them. The others are still in there.

"Tabib, is it that bad?" Prince Agartha looked extremely anxious.

The physician who is with the prince is like the oldest physician among all the others. His beard was white and he was also holding a cane. Maybe he's a healer here.

"It's very bad, Prince. The recovery process cannot take a while. We have to find other alternatives for faster healing" the healer said.

My husband and I who were sitting up immediately welcomed their arrival. It was also then that the elder healer saw us. However, for some reason I felt my head start to get dizzy again.

"Darling?" My husband also realized it.

"Sir, sitting is okay. Maybe Miss Ara is exhausted." The prince asked us to sit down.

I don't know why it could be like this. Like there's something I'm going to see from the healer. But, somehow I just feel dizzy, not to travel time like before. Does this healer have a frequency that is in harmony with the one I am?

I was surprised to hear it. I raised my head to look at it. I smiled respectfully at him. Then they both sat across from us.

"He's my guest. Has Physician Hu known her before?" ask the prince to the doctor.

Physician Hu?

It turned out that the name of the oldest physician in this palace was Physician Hu. He's watching me now, I don't know why. Maybe he felt something unusual radiance from me. Or maybe he was surprised to see a woman like me?

"Em, no. I just saw it. But I think this lady can help us." He narrates.

What's?! Me?! Can I help Lily?!

I don't know why I heard those words from him. I squeezed my husband's waist, coded him to talk. I was afraid of speaking wrongly to my words.

"Tabib Hu, you mean ...?" My husband finally asked. He understands the code I gave him.

The palace physician elder looked down for a moment. "Actually since coming to the palace, I felt a clash between the opposing chakras of nature. I feel there is an aura of fire in this palace. However, upon seeing Miss, I felt a soothing water aura. Is Miss Agartha's native?" He asked me.

My ears turned red hearing that.

"They're my guests. But not from this country." Prince Agartha answered him immediately.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the prince deputizes.

"Oh." The doctor nodded, as if he understood.

"Tabib Hu, then what should we do so that Lily can be human soon?" The prince asked for another alternative to cure Lily quickly.

Physician Hu sighed. "The process is a little complicated, Prince. But if done seriously, it will quickly succeed," he replied.

The prince seemed to be pondering over this. However, he did not seem to be giving up even though the process was very complicated. "Say. I'll fulfill it." He immediately made a decision.

Physician Hu nodded. He then said what things the prince had to do for Lily's recovery. My husband and I are again witnesses to the prince's struggle to be with his love.

It seems the prince has been very longing to chat back with Lily.

The look on the prince's face implied that there was a deep longing. He seemed enthusiastic when listening to every thing that must be done to heal Lily as soon as possible. And for some reason, seeing her made me remember the quarrel with my husband. Where he didn't come home when we had a fight. I was the one who misunderstood Jane's arrival at her apartment at the time.
