Delirious

The silver-eyed princess sat down feeling devastated in a room containing four beds. The room had not large but neat. Only Syrena and Evania were in the room because the other maids worked.

After the incident in the dungeon, Syrena took Evania to her room. The maid girl cried for a long time until she finally fell asleep and had a fever.

"Pietro... Pietro..."

The brunette princess stared at the black-haired maid lying on the bed. A damp cloth slightly puffing up steam was on the maid's forehead. The maid's teeth gritted and, occasionally delirious, called out to her brother.

The brunette princess covered Evania with a blanket when she was delirious. She looked at the girl's face again. She was still petrified. Now and then, the princess looked out the window to cheer herself up. But the more the princess tried to comfort herself, the more her heart ached.

"Your Majesty, please rest! Just let me take care of Evania!" A woman's soft voice surprised Syrena.

A female doctor entered Evania's room and carried a hot soup and herbal medicine. The doctor's expression remained calm even though she was surprised when Syrena asked her for help.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine." The princess sighed tiredly.

"Don't be like that, Your Majesty. Your health is also my responsibility."

The blonde-haired female doctor placed the tray beside Evania's bed on the nightstand.

"I know you're sad, but you shouldn't neglect your health. What's more, Prince Agenor wants you to get pregnant soon."

Agasy's soft voice suddenly sounded uncomfortable. Syrena was annoyed that the doctor had brought up her husband's obsession with children.

The silver-eyed princess stared at Agasy, then she said, "You don't have to worry. I know what I'm doing!"

Syrena ignored Agasy and grabbed the wet rag already cold on Evania's forehead. The princess dipped the cloth in a bowl of hot water and then wrung it out before putting it back in its place.

"If you don't want to rest, please eat this hot soup first to fill your stomach. It looks like you haven't had breakfast."

Agasy stared out the window at the sun. The time should be for lunch.

"I'm not hungry." The princess replied unenthusiastically.

Agasy also felt awry. On the one hand, Prince Agenor has given her the mandate to take care of Princess Syrena's health. On the other hand, the blonde doctor also understood the princess's sadness.

"You don't have to worry anymore, Your Majesty. All those thugs are dead. The last man to get apozteiroz punished had died too."

Syrena breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, although her eyes were still teary and occasionally crying.

"Although this incident is horrifying. But, I am relieved because Prince Agenor cares about you. It turns out there has been a misunderstanding." The doctor smiled sincerely. She didn't think the prince would do so much for Princess Syrena's maid.

Meanwhile, Syrena was sneering inwardly.

[He's not the Prince Agenor you think he is. Instead, He's Nyxe, the demon spirit that framed me.]

On the other hand, the real Prince Agenor only thinks about sex with the brunette princess. At least that's what Syrena thought.

Suddenly a maid opened the door. She looked exhausted after running. Her face swept across the room and was calmer when she found Syrena sitting beside Evania's bed.

"Why are you running? Where are your manners?" Agasy said to the blonde maid in two braids hair.

"I'm sorry, Miss Agasy," said the maid nervously.

The maid immediately faced Syrena and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Prince Agenor, is waiting for you in the dining room." said the maid in two braids immediately.

[Why is that guy so annoying?]

Of course, Syrena wanted to refuse Prince Agenor's orders. However, she remembered that her husband would punish the maid if she refused. So, inevitably Syrena forced herself to meet the second prince of Lagardioz.

"Okay. Get lost now!"

The maid looked relieved and left the room after saying goodbye and saluting the princess.

The brunet princess stood up and grabbed the blonde-haired doctor's hand. The doctor smiled as if to calm the princess's nervousness.

"I go first. Please take care of Evania for me!"

"Of course, Your Majesty. You don't have to worry."

Syrena was staring at Evania before leaving the maid's room. Her heart messed up. But, the incident had already happened. Prince Agenor would have many questions for her.

Well, the man had kissed her lustfully before training his soldiers. He was unconscious when Nyxe was using his body. At the same time, the demon spirit killed seven people in the morning.

Even so, Syrena would still cover up the facts about Nyxe as best she could. She knew her husband was temperamental. The brunette princess was worried that if he found out the truth, he would hurt the people of Ruxenia.

"You may not care about yourself, but think before you act because you are a princess. Think about your people too!" King Dione's last message seemed to echo in Syrena's memory.

Let alone protect the people, even save a maid, Syrena failed. It caused Syrena to be angry with herself. No one knew how long the princess could hold back in pretence.

After a long walk, Syrena finally arrived in the dining room of Prince Agenor's castle. Again the black-winged man greeted her with an unfriendly look.

The princess did not care about her husband's attitude. She chose to salute and sit down after being greeted as if nothing had happened.

A few moments later, the maids served the dishes on the table. Although the aroma was tantalising, Syrena's appetite seemed to have vanished.

"Eat it!"

Syrena realised impossible for her to refuse the prince's orders. So, the brunette princess forced herself to eat even though she had no appetite. After he finished eating, he might throw up again.

Instead, the black-winged man continued to stare at her.

[Hope you are full after watching me eat, so I don't have to watch you eat rats.]

"Princess Syrena. Can you explain the chaos this morning? Didn't you have sex with me before I trained soldiers?"

At that moment, Syrena stopped eating. She had hardly swallowed the food in her mouth.

[Can't you ask this after I finish lunch?]
