IN THE SEVENTH PRINCE PALACE
Nate cleaned the wounds and dressed it.
Loren laid on nate bed in his bedchamber.
When nate was done,non,vitskit and dibengi sat with him in front of his residence.
Vitskit was in awe,"Your highness,I didn't know you were a physician".
,"am still learning",nate said as he held where his heart was
.he was experiencing pain.
Dibengi looked at him,"your highness,are you alright,you look more pale than usual".
It was becoming more painful,so he groaned," am fine,it's just a little problem,please excuse me",he stood up,to go to his work room.
He held one of the pillars of the building outside,he groaned,the pain he felt were so much,he started spewing blood as fell to the ground.
" Your highness!",loren friends and ivan rushed to him.
" Summon the royal physician!",ivan yelled to the guards.
Nate was still spewing blood.
"What is wrong with him?",dibengi asked.
Ivan held him and rested him on his shoulder as his eyes looked teary," your highness,please".
Nate fainted and they hurriedly carried him to the guest chamber in his residence since loren was in his bed chamber.
***********************************
An hour later loren woke up and saw non, dibengi and vitskit standing across him with worried faces.
He groaned,sat up and chuckled,"I was just injured a little and look at your faces,it doesn't really hurt that much anyway,so where's nate,I mean prince nate",he smiled.
" He's lying in another bed chamber",non answered.
Loren smirked," he told me there was only one bedchamber In his residence,sly prince".
He looked at them," stop keeping your faces like this,am okay".
" Is not you,it's prince nate we're worried about",vitskit said shakily," do you think we will be beheaded,I mean it's not our fault,he just started spewing blood!,I really hope he's okay".
Loren smile faded," what do you mean spewing blood?".
Vitskit narrated what happened.
" I must see him,show me this bedchamber",loren got up from the bed as he held dibengi.
Some guards blocked the door of the room where nate laid.
" I wish to see the seventh prince",loren requested.
" He is busy",one of the guards said.
" What about his chief guard,ivan?".
" He is busy with the prince".
" Please let me see prince nate",loren pleaded but the guards did not respond.
The royal physician came out of the room with ivan and closed the door behind him
Loren eyes looked teary as he held ivan arm," ivan, please,I want to see him,is he alright?,what is wrong with him?,please let me see him,I beg of you".
Ivan removed loren hands from his arm," at this moment,the prince does not wish to see you,please stay where he said you should stay,I'll give you your medicine from time to time,when the prince needs you,I'll summon you or he will meet you".
Loren gripped ivan's cloth as he blinked rapidly" He is not conscious,so how do you know,he doesn't want to see me!",loren yelled.
"Royal consort,consort whitelotus and his royal highness prince jers has arrived!".
They bowed.
" How is he",consort whitelotus asked ivan worriedly.
Ivan glanced and loren and lowered his voice,"it happened again,the medicine he made may have stopped him from spewing frequently but once it happens,I don't know how many days he might be unconscious,.
The royal physician checked him,his pulse is not weak to the point of almost dying,so I think he is okay".
She nodded,"that's good,he will make it.I know, he's a strong one".
"His royal highnessess has arrived!".
Prince karl,prince aris,prince keystone,prince tasus and prince timus arrived.
They bowed to them.
" We saw the royal physician on the way,he was okay before,but he fainted all of a sudden,is he okay",prince keystone asked.
" His highness,the seventh prince is fine,your concerns for him ar_",ivan tried to reassure but prince aris cut him off.
" Are you lying to us,isn't he dead",prince aris Chuckled.
Ivan detested the other princes apart from prince keystone and prince jers ,"No,his highness is strong",he said with a fake smile.
" He's suppose to die this year anyway,shouldn't we prepare before hand",Prince karl asked.
" Your brother is unconscious and you already assumed he is dead instead of asking if he will get better",consort white lotus was angry but spoke calmly.
Prince timus and prince tasus laughed.
" And,What is funny",consort whitelotus asked calmly,hiding her anger.
Prince aris smiled,"he runs his mouth everytime,do what he wants everytime,do you know why we let him?.
we shouldn't waste our time on a dead man, should we?.
his royal highness ,the seventh prince,prince corpse",he bowed at the room direction.
"move aside,ivan,I want to see him",prince Aris walked forward but was blocked by loren and ivan.
"His royal highness,the seventh prince is fine,he is not dead,there is no need to see him",loren said.
"When he is well,you can see him",ivan said.
Prince aris Chuckled,"ivan,your father is a very low rank official,he kissed feets to get there,do you want him to lose it?".
Ivan didn't reply.
Prince aris looked at loren," and as for you,who the hell are you?".
" Your highness,my name is not important,but what is important is that you can't see the seventh prince,so please forgive us".
Prince aris laughed provokingly and yelled," how dare you!,if you don't leave the door,you both will die here!".
" And if I block the door,will you kill me too",consort whitelotus asked calmly.
Prince aris glared at her,"all because of a dead man",he said hoarsely.
"Who said he is a dead man,have you seen his fate".
Everybody looked at the person who talked as he was coming and they all went on their knees and bowed to the ground.
"Greetings, your majesty!",they all said.
He motioned them to stand.
"You can stand",the imperial chief guard said.
Nobody dared to look at the king in his eye not even his children.
"Why is he in his guest chamber instead of his bedchamber",he asked ivan.
" He fainted near here,your majesty",Ivan said.
Everyone should leave apart from the attendants and guards of the seventq1th prince residence and prince keystone.
They all left.
The king left with prince keystone and his guards.
The king faced prince keystone," do you think he will live long?".
Prince keystone smiled," long enough to surprise even you,your majesty".
The king nodded," good".
***********************************
The next day,loren asked about prince nate,but he was still unconscious.
The day after that,he came to his residence again to asked about him,and he was still unconscious.
Worries filled his heart,he wanted to know what is wrong with him,he was scared of him dying ,They only just met.
He ried when he went back to his room,blaming himself for not knowing what was wrong with him.
The next day he came,prince nate was still unconscious,he felt his heart shatter. As he was leaving the residence,he saw a little princess who was entering.
It was princess kresna,daughter of the late crown prince and crown princess.she was with her guards, attendants and wet nurse.
He bowed to her.
She looked at him with her sad eyes,"is my papa still sleeping?".
Loren looked confused,is she referring to nate as her father?.
The wet nurse whispered to him,"she is talking about the seventh prince,prince nate".
Loren smiled,"he is still sleeping".
She looked sad,"okay",she said softly in a heartbreaking tone and left with her attendants,guards and wet nurse.
