Don't come back without the prince.

"What is your name?" He asked.

"Maximus." He responded politely, tilting his head lower a bit, showing respect towards the king.

"Maximus, can you go to the human world and don't come back without the prince?" The king ordered and the Bodyguard hurried outside the chamber, following his colleagues who dragged out the dead body. He didn't need to respond before the king knew he was serious about carry out out such a task for him. Maximus showed bravery and the king loved it.

Max smiled to himself after the reached outside the chamber, he had always hoped for a chance to get closer to the king. Maybe this was the start for him to achieve his motives.

At the hospital, Arnold was still in his office until the reminder came for his next surgery. He was going to treat an accident victim. When he was told, it reminded him oftalie and he didn't regret the fact that he tried everything to make her alive.

He stood up to leave when his door pushed open. The last person he wanted to see was Monica, and he just entered his office. He wouldn't refuse her, but instead, listen to whatever she wanted to say. Even if the relationship was over, they still needed to talk about it and he was going to make it clear to her.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"Shhhh." Monica shushed him up and moved closer to him slowly and seductively. She was a bit surprised to see Arnold reject her, but she wouldn't stop at any cost. She must have sex with him now. She missed him, although the world thinks they've broken up, she definitely couldn't let go of the man in front of her.

"Monica, leave now," Arnold said in a terrifying tone.

"Arnold, are you chasing me because of that woman? this is unbelievable!." She exclaimed.

"Just what I needed, a cheap bitch trying to steal my man," Monica said.

Arnold didn't have time for her, he ignored her and took out lab coat.

"I have surgery to perform, you don't have to wait for me." He said and left the room.

Almost three hours later, Arnold returned. Surprisingly Monica was still waiting in his office.

"You didn't leave yet? what do you want?" Now he paid attention to her. He knew Monica for many years, she is a stubborn woman who manipulates things till she gets what she wanted. But he wasn't going to give her.

"Arnold, isn't it obvious I want you?." She stood up slowly and moved to him.

"Here, you must be tasty after a stressful surgery." Monica gave him a bottle of water.

Arnold didn't take it immediately, she stared at her for a while before collecting it. Although he was tasty, he still didn't trust the woman. She looked desperate.

"Drink up, don't worry I didn't poison you." She said sarcastically, sitting comfortably on the desk.

"She watched Arnold gulp almost everything into his mouth at once." Monica smiled in satisfaction. Arnold didn't know what he just gotten into. Monica tried her best to prolong her stay with him in the office, waiting for the effects of her drugs to take place.

"Now what do you want?" Arnold asked, returning to his seat.

"Arnold, are we over? tell me it's not because of that woman you didn't come back to me."

"Monica doesn't't be selfish, I can't always try to make things work after you're the one who calls off the relationship. it's time to let go and I did." Arnold explained, making it clear to her. He knew the relationship was bound to end soon. Even when he wanted to propose to her, there were still doubts about it. he thought of marrying a human and leaving a normal life until he met Natalie. Maybe it was destiny that they met. He made her who she was and was ready to accompany her till the very end.

Monica tried keeping their conversation as long as she could, hoping for the effects of the medicine to start but she didn't get any results and Arnold seemed unmoved.

"Arnold, are you telling me this? have you forgotten about all we've had so soon?." Monica tried to look pitiful as she spoke. Arnold didn't give her a chance.

"Monica, leave my office." Arnold flared up angrily at her and she flinched backward. She hadn't realized seen his anger for so many years since they'd known each other.

"Fine. I'll leave if you don't want to. Just remember Arnold, I'll get back to you about this. and that filthy woman. she would regret ever coming across you." Monica threatened and suddenly grabbed her handbag and left.

Natalie locked herself in the room all day, she couldn't get herself to go outside and face Devin after what she had just done. She couldn't even give him an explanation about it, even if she did would he believe her?

She buried her head under the pillow and groaned. Soon, she heard light knocks on the door. But she ignored it.

Maybe it was still Devin since Arnold was having a night shift, he wouldn't come now.

After some minutes, she heard the knock again and was tempted to go attend to whoever it was between the both of them. if it was Arnold, she wouldn't know how to face him. maybe Devin must have told him about it. Either way, she had to explain to Devin so he wouldn't misunderstand and see her as a wild woman.

Natalie sluggishly goes to open the door, immediately she did, Arnold pushed himself into the room and hugged her.

His body was burning hot, almost like he had a fever.

She touched his sweaty forehead.

"Arnold, what's wrong with you?" she asked but instead, she felt his heavy weight on her body. he had passed out on her.

Natalie was strong enough to pull him to the bed. When she finally got him to lie down, she breathed deeply.

She rushed to get a towel and bowl. She had once done this to Ken when he was sick, she hoped it would work for Arnold too.
