Alessia's POV"Come on, Sushi," I called to him when I was outside the door and he was grinning and changing.Sushi sniffs the floor and looks around alertly. Just like a puppy, when the surroundings are new. A puppy is curious and will be cautious.It was obviously scared because its tail was parted and slowly walked towards me. I didn't speak anymore and I slowly walked towards the stairs and now that Sushi reached me he didn't want to leave and wanted to stick to me.We went down the stairs and Sushi didn't have a hard time but I could hear his soft cry when I was a little ahead so I waited for him again.It took us a few minutes to get out of the palace and we reached the plain with lots of green grass and some trees behind. I didn't go with Estrebelle because I knew that she would clean up the mess in the room made by Sushi.We went away from the palace and I sat there by a big tree. Sushi immediately moved to my side and jumped up and down as if charging. I didn't load him, you
Alessia's POVWe returned to the palace, I was carrying Sushi who had no idea about Stefano's conversation. While I was carrying him, I wondered if I had made the right decision, but I wanted to blame myself for thinking that way.Sushi is kind, and I will train him that he cannot hurt or do harm to an innocent person. A domesticated beast has a high percentage to be tamed like a common pet.Dinner passed and I ate alone in my bedroom. I wish I hadn't asked Stefano. I wouldn't have thought badly of Sushi now. I just took a shower and then lay down to sleep.I tried to forget that fact. I forced myself to sleep but sleepiness was elusive because of my thoughts about Sushi. A few hours have passed but I still don't feel sleepy.I got up and got off the bed. I saw Sushi sound asleep in his bed. I got some clothes and I'm just going to walk around in case I get sleepy.I took a thin white robe. I wore it over my thin pajamas. I went out of my room and was immediately greeted by a somewhat
Alessia's POVOur eyes fused as if something had formed that I couldn't name.Quack!I broke away from Elijah and turned to the direction where the sound of a loud crow came from. How was there a crow at this time? I'm sure that's not the sound of an owl. As far as I know, the sound of the owl is different.I heard the chirping of a bird that flew from a pine tree. I wonder why there is a crow. What does a crow do at midnight?"Is that a crow?" I couldn't stop asking Elijah who was also looking at the crow flying away from the palace."Yes," answered Elijah, looking darkly at the distant figure of the crow."What's a crow doing at this time? I know they're not nocturnal," I pointed out to him because that incident was just amazing."Some birds do stray at night. Best to ignore it, Ales," he answered me but his expression was the opposite of what he was saying. I knew something wasn't right and I could see it in his eyes.I wanted to tease Elijah into telling me the truth, but based on
Alessia's POV"Mr. Ales!" Angelica suddenly called me and I saw fear and worry on her face.I couldn't help but wonder why he had this expression. I can't help but think of an unfortunate incident."Angelica," I replied to her and I stopped walking towards the hospital room.When Angelica got closer, I saw that her tears were dripping and her eyes were red."Mr. Ales, help me," he wailed and knelt in front of me which surprised me.Alarmed, I immediately grabbed his shoulders to make him stand up."Angelica, don't kneel. You can talk to me even without kneeling," I promised a few times, especially when someone else saw us and was now muttering.Angelica shook her head and did not move. He continued to kneel and bend down almost kissing the floor."Mr. Ales, I am begging you. Help Fritz. He has been sentenced to death for treason. The king has found out that she is pregnant with another man," she said in a raspy voice that shook me.I was horrified by what I heard because that was the
Alessia's POVThey RELEASED Fritz who now had so much joy in his eyes. Fritz quickly came to me and knelt down, gratefulness in his eyes."Thank you very much, Mr. Ales," he happily promised me and then turned to the king. "Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."Elijah nodded. "Anisto, mend her wounds and check her to make sure nothing is wrong with her," Elijah ordered Anisto who seemed to have no feeling."Subsequently, Your Majesty," Anisto replied and then approached Fritz. He supports her so they can leave for the hospital room.The other waitresses and other sentinels also left. The only ones left where we were now were me, Elijah, Stefano, the prime minister and a few sentinels on guard."This is your fault. You ruined the tradition of Valeria," the prime minister blamed me.I bit my lip because what he was saying was true. I seem to have come to my senses now. What right do I have to question the king about his women? After all, I shouldn't care because it's his
Alessia's POVA big problem now landed all over Valeria. No, it won't just hit Valeria but all of Wysteria. What Stefano told me is that there is no more revolution. In the last war that took place several thousand years ago that was not followed and no one attempted to fight the blue bloods.Is it possible that war will break out again? But why didn't they expect it? Because if they expected it, I would have felt that during my stay here."Mr. Ales," Estrebelle called me so I looked at her. "You alright?" He even managed to ask me as the strange force that had weakened us both seemed to take more damage to him.I approached him. "Estrebelle, I'm fine. But you don't seem fine to me," I asked her worriedly and grabbed her wrist so I could feel her heartbeat.His heart was beating fast so I quickly returned to the desk where my bag was. I took the box there with the needles. I need to puncture her to relax and balance her heart rate.I went back and quickly pierced his nerves connected t
Alessia's POVI look at the other patients and see that they both have wounds and are convulsing. They are running high fevers, a sign that there is an infection going on and these herbs will not help."Nurse, were herbs used in their first aid?" I asked a nurse who was now wiping a deep wound on a man's arm."Yes, Mr. Ales. That's what the doctors told us so we did the same," he replied to me."Don't you have any other medicine for infections like this?" I asked him again. I know there isn't, but there might be.The nurse shook her head. "If an immortal gets sick or injured, it will be easy to heal. But like this, it is difficult, especially because the cause of their injury is unusual. Only the seed of life can save them, but the seed is limited so it cannot be just use it," he answered me and I didn't know what to think.Because of the lack, even if I wanted to use the seeds I couldn't because I knew they had a use, just like an immortal is on the verge of death.As for the seed of
Alessia's POV"What?" I asked quietly as I looked directly into Stefano's eyes.I saw depression in his eyes because of my reaction."The medicines you asked for are here," he answered me and I could feel the anxiety.I squeezed my hand for him to release it. I saw that he wanted to speak but he just stopped."There's no need. Put it back," I promised him coldly and turned my back on him, but he stopped my shoulder which I slapped again and was silent as I turned to him. "Didn't you understand what I said?""Ales, I already paid for those drugs you said—""I didn't think you would do that after you doubted me, Stefano. So I just made my own medicine that won't need those medicines of yours—"I was interrupted because a nurse approached me. "Mr. Ales, there are people with fever and body aches, what should we do?" the nurse asked me worriedly, not noticing Stefano anymore.I sighed and looked at Stefano. "Looks like your medicine will be used. Give them the Panadol, every six hours int
