A SORCERER, A HEALER☣️

The three men went out of the bedroom after exchanging some sort of knowing look that no one saw. The emperor was the last to exit the bedroom, closing the door gently behind him. He went up to the other two who stood a fair distance from the bedroom door, awaiting him outside of the bedroom. The three of them huddled together and spoke in extremely low tones so as not to be overheard by anyone.

'My Lord,' Master Kong said to him with a look that said listen carefully will you? 'Her wounds shall be home faster if you do just as I have bid you,' he complained to him.

'I can not risk that Master Kong,' the emperor answered him. The blue and black haired companion shook his head at the emperor's words.

'Her head shall be returned and she'll have her potential. It'll prevent a many things.'

'Matrix,' the emperor addressed the blue and black haired companion. 'I will not start up a storm that I can not end,' he said to him.

'It will be a storm that ye can end easy but ye will not end it,' he accused the emperor who sighed.

'It'll jarr her Matrix. She might never understand me properly because it is too soon,' he said.

'Soothe her and it'll all be okay Milord. Tell all there is and stop leaving the lass in the dark. This might come back to shoot you in the foot Milord.'

'What if she is torn and confused? Her beast should not stir now,' he preached to Matrix.

'Well, I have no other thing to say to you milord. That I bid thee do lest ye have ye hands full of her.'

'I will find a way, another way.'

'Do whatever pleases you,' Matrix said to him in a nonchalant tone.

'If there is a better way, I trust that you will find it My Lord,' the royal physician said then.

'Thank you Master Kong.'

'It's alright. You are welcome nonetheless My Lord,' Master Kong said to him. He nodded.

'What balm shall I soothe her wounds with?' he asked the man.

'I have left the coral oil balm which has been amalgamated with your essence for that,' he said. 'Hyeera knows the rest of it but I shall give a recap still. There must be fragrance pouches hung and used for baths and in cosmetics. The tonic with your essence before bed and her own fragrance for you to prevent you from rousing the beast with any pheromones,' he said.

'The man has self control. It is very obvious,' Matrix commented. Master Kong laughed then.

'Still, he shall have the fragrance. He is not above the woman especially after this long.'

'Why do both of you speak as if I do not stand in your presence?' the emperor asked them.

'Do not be grumpy about it. I speak the truth and you know. Go back to her and let us depart for I am sleepy,' Matrix quickly said to him.

'I see,' he said.

'If there is anything more My Lord, I shall send a message to you,' Master Kong said to him.

'Thank you Master Kong.'

'You are welcome My Lord,' he said and began to walk away. The emperor made to leave but was stopped by a hand to his shoulder. He turned to Matrix with raised brows.

'What is it?'

'Your taste, it can do wonders for those scars faster than the amalgamated balm you know?' he said with a mischievous smile. He pointed to his mouth and continued. 'This 'ere is magic.' Then, he turned and left him standing there.

'That rascal!' the emperor said under his breath. Then, he turned and went towards the bedroom door, back to the lady.

The aides instantly stood away from their lady whom they had been chit chatting with the moment he stepped into the bedroom. They stood with slightly bowed heads. He dismissed them with a wave of his hands and they made themselves disappear from the bedroom immediately. He walked up to the lady the moment they hurried past him and out the bedroom door, not forgetting to close it behind them.

'Mine,' he said going to sit beside her on the huge bed.

'Yes?' was her reply.

'I can see that they have helped you turn over,' he pointed out. She nodded at his observation.

'Yes they have. It is not comfortable to lie that way. This position is much more comfy,' she confessed to him. 'I would rather remain like this.'

'If you say so. I just hope that you are not in so much pain,' he said. 'If you are, promise to tell me right away, okay?' he pleaded.

'Yes,' she said after a quick nod. 'Yes I will do so.' She smiled warmly at him. He returned the gesture. 'That coloured hair person,' she began, 'Is that person a male or a female? I find it hard to tell.'

'Is that so?' he asked her with an amused expression. She nodded at him. 'That is Matrix sweet Rose. He is undoubtedly male. Do not let his mass of hair confuse you Jagi,' he explained to her.

'Oh!' she expressed. 'He is a very beautiful man,' she continued. He raised a brow at her.

'A very beautiful man?' he repeated looking straight into her eyes. She nodded at the question.

'Yes, he is beautiful beast,' she said to him with glee. He kept staring at her while she only smiled at him rather mischievously.

'Shall I send you to him then mine?' he asked her. 'For it seems that you have taken a liking to the very beautiful man,' he further said. She giggled at his words.

'Mayhap, it is not a bad idea. I should have undressed him with my eyes when he was here if only I knew that you were going to give me to him,' she groused. He smirked at her.

'Silly woman!' he told her and she found herself laughing again. They were really enjoying their naughty banter.

'What did all three of you discuss outside?' she asked him, suddenly serious.

'Why are you asking about that?' he said to her with curious eyes.

'I know that you all went out to speak about me,' she said. 'I am wondering what is so bad that I must have about it in anyway,' she said.

'You should have eavesdropped if you were that curious Mine,' he said to her with a mischievous smile.

'I am learning to be more dignified beast. Therefore, I will do no such thing no matter how much my curiosity haunts me,' she said to him with confidence.

'Hmmh,' was his only reply as his eyes studied her slowly.

'But seriously, whatever did the three of you discuss?' she asked again. 'Will you not tell me? Tell me!' she pressed with desperate eyes.

'Mine, it is not for you to know,' was his reply as he took her right hand in his, caressing it tenderly.

'But-' she began.

'-Do not,' he interrupted her.

'Do not what?' she asked adamantly staring hard at him.

'Do not press me Mine. You will only be disappointed.' She sighed then, turning away from him and taking her hands from his grip.

'I already am,' she said to him in a very light tone. He really heard the disappointment in them.

'Mine,' he began to say just as she turned back to him with another glint in her eyes. Oh, he just knew that she was curious about something else. He wondered what it was this time. He sat still, already prepared for her inquisitive questions.

'Who is Matrix anyways?' she instantly asked him. 'Is he a physician? Well, he doesn't feel like one to me. He gives off a very strange vibe and an almost otherworldly aura. Then, he stares at me with eyes that seem full of pity. Who is he? Tell me. He is not just anyone right?' she bombarded him all at once without stopping to catch a breath.

'Wait, slow down will you?' he requested with a soft chuckle. She did listen to him, keeping shut. 'Why is your curiosity still centred around this very beautiful man? Maybe I should really hand you over to him so that you can question him all you want, to your fill,' he said to her.

'Anyone will be curious about someone like that you know?' she said to him. 'I almost thought that he was an hermaphrodite.'

'You are not serious are you?' he asked her with amused eyes. She shook her head at him. 'Do not let Matrix overhear you.'

'What can I say? It is not my fault you know. If we are handing out faults, it would be his for looking like that, very beautiful,' she explained.

'Mine,' he said to her with some sort of a warning tone. And although she got the message, she chose to continue with her questions.

'He is no physician assistant. Tell me who he is? He feels strange in a subtly eerie way,' she simply voiced out her observation to him. 'He is different and I know it.'

'It is probably his blue and black hair and his carriage that confuses you mine. He is really not that eerie, just different in a way,' he assured her. She raised a brow at her.

'Well, that is inclusive. But, you know what he is but refuse to tell me. I can see it in your eyes,' she said to him with a knowing look.

'Really mine? In which eyes can you see what you see?' he teased her. She stared at him and humped.

'That will be in the both of them,' she simply pointed out. He chuckled softly at her statement.

'You can be very amusing sometimes Mine. I should really spend a lot of time with you so that you humour me every passing second. I always feel more lighter whenever you make me laugh,' he confessed.

'Do you?' she asked him with doubt in her eyes. He nodded. 'Then why did you leave me behind? Even when you were here, why so you prefer those homeless bitches over me?'

'It is not that mine and you know,' he said to her. 'It is only your jealously that makes you think that.'

'Now you are insulting me beast,' she pointed out to him.

'I have not done so and you know. Why do you always want to turn me into a villain sweet Rose?' he demanded of her. She smiled at him with a pleased expression.

'You are a villain, remember?' she said and giggled.

'I am not a villain Mine. It is not fa-' he was saying when she quickly interrupted him.

'Stop distracting me from the topic at hand,' she suddenly said to him in realization. He stared at her. 'You have yet to tell me who Matrix is beast,' she continued.

'Do ever get distracted from your curiosity? Does your mind ever veer from manipulation?' he groused. She laughed then.

'No it doesn't, not when I am so curious. Now tell me lest I begin to give you the cold shoulder,' she threatened him. He chuckled again and took her hand back in his.

'It is not as if I do not have a remedy to that mine,' he reminded her. She blinked at him softly.

'Well, do not tell me. I will ask him myself when next I see him. I might as well figure it out myself,' she promised him.

'He is really a physician assistant. That is not a lie. But,' she looked at him expectantly. 'He is also a sorcerer, a healer,' he finally revealed to her.

'I knew it!' she said with delight. 'I am perceptive,' she praised herself.

'Now rest mine,' he said to her. 'I have dismissed your escorts,' he told her as he stood and arranged her properly on the pillow. 'They shall not come in to bother you sweet Rose.'

'But I do not want to sleep,' she complained to him.

'Rest,' he urged her again. She smiled and closed her eyes. He sat by her side and watched her go to sleep.

The offenders were later released from the dungeons after suffering and experiencing excruciating pain and torture at the merciless hands of her two aides at the emperor's command.

Princess Hera-Mera was livid. Her pride and feminine ego was severely bruised.

Princess Zoë on the other hand was vengeful and already scheming something.

Both became cohorts on account of the shame the concubine -as they began to call her- had brought upon them, very sure that she had charmed the emperor.

Princess Hera-Mera on Zoë's probing sent a message to her kingdom. The emperor had denounced their betrothal and engagement publicly. It was a big slap on the face of the Draco Kingdom. She also sent a message to the empress dowager who was solidly behind them. They finally conceded to call a court to petition the great Emperor of Linamine.
