"Vero.. are you okay?". Asked the worried Rames while stroking his daughter's hair gently in Lucy's arms.
"Dad. vampire.there's a vampire who wants to suck my blood". Said Veronika who was still a little scared.
"Darling's? there are no vampires here. You're safe. rest and calm your mind..". Get Rames to lay his daughter's body on her padded flat plane.
"I'll take care of you. Relax, you'll be fine, baby, trust me". Continue with a soft tone grasping Veronika's hand with both her hands.
Tok..
"That's starting.there's a letter for you". Said someone who was none other than one of the messengers of the palace trust. He approached the king who was taking care of his daughter and then bowed politely to deliver the letter he carried.
"Letter?". His words were astonished to take a letter from the bodyguard's hand with curiosity about the information from behind the folded paper looks neat.
Slowly Rames opened the paper stiffly, Veronika's eyes were lying on her which made her feel a little nervous.
The paper showed a pitch-black ink inside, written a few words there. Rames was a little surprised when after he read each line of words written with perfectly rounded eyes exuded his surprise.
He paused for a moment while clenching the paper, then looked at Veronika who was also staring at him. In silence, Veronika asked curiously what was written in the letter that made her father look beautiful.
"Yahujana..". Sahut someone from behind who just entered the room, none other than Zhenrika who came to visit Veronika and followed one of her personal servants Mio.
"What's up, Zhera?". Reply Rames was surprised while hiding one of his hands tightly grasping the paper he had read.
"I came to see vero dad". The reply drew closer to Veronika who was lying weak and accompanied by her two servants beside her.
"Sister..". Veronika said from the soft flat area where she lay while looking at the approaching Zhenhana and trying to get up from her bed.
"Are you okay vero..". Her question immediately grabbed Veronika's hand and softly looked at her.
"I'm not okay..". Ketus reply.
"Haihh. You're this. eat your medicine you used to sleep..". Sahut Rames who approached his two daughters looked at the healer Lan who had just entered carrying a medicine tray in her hand.
"Dad.what now I have to take medicine.the medicine is really bitter.". Veronika's whine remembers the medicine she used to take.
"It's for your own good, baby..". Said Rames while taking the medicine from the tray and thrusting it at Veronika.
"Take your medicine?". Ask Zhenrika who is staring firmly at Veronika.
"But why should I take the medicine.I have been sick for years.I have taken it. Dad didn't even tell me about my illness..". He said uninspiredly who refused his father's letter while pulling a blanket over his entire body.
"Nothing but vero. for your own good.do you want to see me grieving over a little thing like this..". Persuade Rames dejectedly as he thrust out a glass of medicine and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Veronika by slowly pulling the blanket that covered her daughter's body.
"Alright if this will make you happy..". His words resigned then grabbed the medicine from his father's hands which always made him feel curious about the drug and also the disease.
"Then you take a break.I still have business.. Zhera can you come with me..". Said Rames who wanted to say goodbye to Veronika while taking Zhenrika with him.
"Letter?". Murmured Zhenrika astonished.
"Aaaa.it's just a letter of report from the border". He answered casually who was lying.
"Rest Vero.. Zhera come". Take Rames who stepped first towards the wide open door.
"Okay dad.. Then I go vero first. You take good care of him!!". Said Zhenrika who got up from her seat while giving orders to Lucy and Lena.
"Good princess..". Lucy and Lena replied in unison, bowing in honor with her hands attached to her chest.
The figure of Brian who was also standing next to Lena also saluted Rames and Zhenrika who slowly left the room politely.
"Hmm.. when can I be alone with Zheranika? I want to talk to him about a lot of things". Brian's mind was upset with the look of hoping to stare at the departure of Zhenrika.
"Brian..". Veronika's voice from the side made Brian a little surprised at her rather weak call.
"Hey.are you okay..is there any injuries..". He approached and sat right beside Veronika.
"I'm fine, didn't you also hear the healer talking to the father..". Ask veronika.
"Aaa. that is. yes you are fine. rest so that when you wake up you feel better..". Brian's proposal while helping Veronika lay down her body.
"Well, now I'm sleepy too..". Reply Veronika with her stifled smile that was still enduring the pain from her ears.
"Then have a good rest, I will..". Said Brian who wanted to say goodbye but stopped because of Veronika's hand that sealed Brian's hand.
"Can? can you keep me asleep". Veronika said softly as if pleading with a hand that was holding Brian's right arm, holding him back from getting up from his seat.
"Hmm. alright, I'll be here". His words resigned by holding Veronika's hand.
Lena and Lucy just stared at Brian and Veronika in silence who did not know what to say. Afraid of making Brian awkward, they both leave the room giving Veronika time to be alone with her heart.
"Hopefully their relationship is smooth". Whispering Lena bowed while walking in tandem with Lucy with the intention of wanting to wait outside the room.
"Hmmm..". Lucy muttered, affirming Lena's words and hopes.
