Is there no way to save her?

Arthur immediately grabbed Cecile's tiny body in his arms. Maida who saw him dumbfounded. From the rumors circulating. Crown prince is known to play games with girls. But strangely, he was reluctant to touch any of them. But did he really carry this human girl in his arms?

Maida wanted to ask him 'where he would take the girl?' Only to find a plume of black smoke in the air made them invisible and living her alone there.

Maida let out a heavy sigh. She really hoped that nothing dangerous would happen to the girl. And may the crown prince knows what the best thing to do is.

But she saw the quivering palms of her hands. Suddenly, her promise to Henry at that night came back into her mind.

'And also won't get your hands dirty?'

'Yes! I promise'

Maida's body collapsed on the earth.

'If the girl dies, Isn't she a murderer?'

Arthur took the girl somewhere.

Where he could find his acquaintance, who is an expert in the medical field. The place is right in a cave in the mountains. With teleportation, his journey was much faster to reach that place.

In front of the mouth of the cave. There were two guard wolves. They were brown in colour with large black eyeballs. Seeing him arrival, they bowed politely to him way.

Inside the cave, Arthur walked through a dark, empty passage. His footsteps echoed in the air. Only a little sunlight penetrated this place, through the narrow rocky crevice of the cave.

Far ahead, there was a large rock blocking his steps. He hit the button hidden near the rock. The big rock shifted to give him a way.

A large room greeted him.

This room is combination of marble and jade interior. There is a round table lying in the middle of it made of high quality mahogany. There is also a large divan located in the corner of it made of cold natural stone. Above it was covered with a thick red cloth. That's where Arthur laid Cecile.

"What did you come here for?" A voice appeared behind him. It was a well-built man. Dressed in casual attire of fine silk embroidered in gold. His stature was calm like water in a lake. His long, silvery white hair, falling over his shoulder. He has an olive skin colour and slightly pale. Staying in this place for a long time made it rarely exposed to sunlight.

"Clive"

He's Arthur's friend from magic school. They were very close to becoming like a couple of brothers. What's more, Clive has grown men characters.

"Is it a human girl?" Clive's black eyes sparkled intricately upon finding the human girl lying there. And what was surprising was that the scent of roses from her body was typical of the rose beauty clan.

"She's not from the Akez tribe, why did you bring her here?"

"Can you find the scent of rose on her body?" Not answering his question, Arthur turned around to ask.

With a look full of questions, Clive nodded his head.

"One of our nations made an exchange with this girl" Explained Arthur.

"Clan of roses?" There was a tone of surprise in his question. Clive's black eyes rounded wider with disbelief.

Arthur nodded his head justifying. He did not understand at all. Why the wolf girl was throwing away the privilege she had by exchange it. Though not all have such luck.

"How could that happen? Maybe it would still be acceptable if that girl were Sibolv* but she was only a human? Her body wouldn't be strong enough to receive it"

"That's why I brought her here. Please help the girl" pleaded Arthur. His handsome face couldn't mask his anxiety.

It was rare for Clive to see this side of Arthur. How special is this human girl to Arthur?

Clive approached the stone cot that had been put there for his medical practice. It's just that the practice is closed today. But who knows that his old friend will come and need his medical practice?

He grabbed cecile's wrist. Clive felt the girl's pulse was very weak. Her white skin looked almost as pale as without blood. His eyebrows knit together. The look in his eyes sank deep into trying to diagnose.

"This is bad!" Clive commented without changing his calm expression. Put on Cecile's wrist. He turned to Arthur, who was still filled with anxiety.

"Her blood rejects the existence of the power stream of the rose clan. It caused that power to slowly eat up his blood cells. It should have fused with her blood cells instead of eating them, just because that human blood it doesn't work. If this continues to happen, maybe the girl could die of blood loss"

After hearing that explanation, Arthur's gaze mixed with panic and anxiety grew even more complicated.

He saw to Cecile's pale face, which still glowed a few days ago. Playing various expressions that amuse him a little. With her red hue, which always made him tempted to tease her. And her stubbornness was mixed with softness, which impressed him.

Till one day, he decided not to see her again.

But who could guess the path of destiny, which brought them together for the umpteenth time?

"Is there no way to save her?"

It's a pity. For a young girl who had just grown up to have such a tragic end.

"I've never met a situation like this in many cases I've studied. My powers won't work. Because it's only effective to treat external wounds and some internal diseases. It's not cuts and diseases, I don't know what to do at all." Although Clive was born with healing powers. But it's limited to some diseases and internal wounds.

"Please try to think of something to save her" Urged Arthur. His gestures couldn't deny how worried he was for the girl there.

Clive was increasingly convinced that the human girl lying there occupied a privilege in Arthur's heart.

So far, Clive had never found Arthur being serious about a girl. Especially to really pay attention to them. Maybe this girl was the first.

"Give me time to think" Said Clive.

Seeing Clive's attitude that was still calm and a little relaxed. Arthur felt a little displeased. And unable to hold his impatience he pressed. "Hurry up and think! Her life is at stake right now"

Clive understood Arthur's situation. But he didn't like his impatience.

In thinking about something, of course he cannot be in a hurry. What's more, when someone's life is at stake. Refused to respond, Clive chose silence and continued thinking.

Meanwhile Arthur walked over to the girl and took her cold hand. His blue iris was tucked into a bit of sadness. He contemplated the beautiful face there, that looked so helpless.

His feeling was complicated and a little chaotic. He had never felt like that before. It's like half of your soul was taken away.

What is this feeling?
