[Captial of Country Z]
The clouds above the capital are so thick that not a ray of sunlight can fall into the city. It's been a month since Country A has been destroyed. Ari is currently in the palace and unconscious. The people of country Z is already calling her Prince Adira's sleeping beauty. All the healers are trying to wake up the sleeping beauty, but they fail.
"What happened to her?"
The healer sweats because of the pressure that Adira is giving him. "Prince, her soul is weak. She is sick because of the pressure from you."
"Pressure from me..." Adira stares at Ari's pale face, feeling guilty. Did he give her a big shock? "Is there any way to take it away?"
"Take your pressure away..." The healer is stumped. It's part of Prince's personality. How does one take it away? "If you lighten your emotions, she won't feel it."
Adira looks at him quietly.
"I mean..." The healer trembles and looks down. If he can't take it well, how will this girl take it? "She will get used to it eventually. It will take some time, but her soul will gain immunity over time. I will give her some soul strengthening potions. It will take some time. She will get better eventually."
"Is there any other way?" Adira is not convinced by healer's words. The healers keep saying that she will wake up. He hasn't killed them yet because there aren't many soul healers. Only they can keep her stabilized.
"If you keep a distance from her..." He pauses. The current healer has heard that the girl is taken in as Prince's lover.
"Other than that." Adira has no intention of staying away from her. He has just found her. He's sure that he has been longing for her. She's his peace. He wants to know why he feels this way. He wants to stay beside her and protect her always.
The healer decides to write a will and choose his gravestone.
"How to strengthen her soul?" Adira questions him with a neutral voice.
The healer can see the intense worry in Adira's eyes. The prince has never shown that kind of expression before. The boy is clearly in love.
"Prince, I heard of a legendary flower," The healer tells Adira after many thoughts on the matter. If Ari dies, he's going to die too. "But I heard about a legendary flower that strengthens the soul. Even sniffing it can heal any soul. But it only grows in the demon kingdom. Currently, the demon king is keeping it in his treasury."
"Demon king." Adira has heard of that tyrannical demon king. He glances at Ari. If he didn't hear the sound of her heartbeat, it would be hard to believe that she's alive. "I will get that flower."
The healer looks at him with fear. "Don't go there. The demon king is..."
"Evil." Adira completes his words. "But he's not worse than I am. Keep her alive and well while I am gone. If anything happens to her, I will burn everyone including you."
