The sun's rays woke me up and my breathing was heavy and my body was on fire . my heart pounded with a different melody , a melody I have never heard of , a soft one daring the storm one inside me.

I tried to move a couple of times before I could turn to the other side . He was sitting on the chair sleeping while his head was on the bed and his hand was mine. The perfect match . my small hands was the missing piece of an artwork while his hand is the art. I tried to move my other hand but the tubes inside of my arms kept hurting me . I tried again and again until I could reach his head . My fingers went through his soft hair and the sun's rays made his silver hair shine like a diamond. His closed eyes began to slowly open and his ocean blue eyes are lighter than my grey ones, a mix between the silver and white . they didn't look scary yet so powerful . The blue began to slowly crawl in and his eyes changed color to their dark ocean blue.

I put a weak smile before greeting him good morning.

Morning

He responded before standing up and knocking on the door , it took seconds for the 5 maids to go into the wing . they began to clean around , one of them took the dishes from yesterday while one took the dirty clothes , two of them began to wipe away the dust that wasn't there . Arzel went to his closet and two men went in with him like lost puppies . He went out minutes later dressed in a white military uniform detailed with gold , chains hung down his broad shoulders , titels , crown rankings and war medals were placed on his left side.

The maids who went out before came back , I think they wanted to fix the bed , but didn't know if they should do that or not .

Arzel noticed that and came closer to me and pulled up my sleeve , took out the tubes carefully before scoping me in his arms before helping me sit on one of the sofas.

I was dressed in one of his big blue sweaters that reached down to my knees , the sleeves were big and I could fit another arm inside. Soon enough the other maids noticed that I was in the prince's clothes and sent me disgusting stares until the other maids began to walk closer to the bed .

The poor maids made the bed fast before nodding at him , they dismissed after that.

Soon enough melissa and the doctor came into the wing and began to check me up

Your temperature has sunken a bit but it is still very high and we don't know that caused it .

The doctor is right , you were all fine before we came here . your temperature and health , you were able to fight and now you cant even stand . we didn't find anything in your system and I am confused , I can't heal you because my powers don't work on you like the others . I can take away the heat for some hours but I can't take away the weakness and dizziness.

We talked for a bit , before they both went out leaving me and him alone , his cold stare was back and there was no sign of emotions .

And he walked out soon leaving me in his wing . so I started looking around and a big painting caught my interest . it was a painting of a couple , they looked so happy together. I was looking at the painting when I heard a knock on the door and the queen went in . We talked about my health before informing me that my father knew about my illness. They lied to him and told him that it is a small fever and that I am good . I thanked her of course but my eyes travelled to the painting again

Have you heard the story?

I looked at the queen and she was also looking at the painting.

No , is there a story behind the painting ?

Yeah , Do you want to hear it?

Of Course , if you don't mind .

I don't have anything to do, sweety .
