Chapter 3 - 3

Ku was sitting on the bed waiting for the physician to be done checking on him, "Your highness, The wound is not deep but should not be walked on for a few days."

"Thank you, You May leave," Yuki replies.

The physician left, Ku stood up and walked over near the window.

"It looks like it's gonna rain, Princess maybe you should come inside to grab an umbrella!"

"No way! Ku! I will stay outside till I can manage to get to the next level in strength!" Ash Shouted "Even if rain falls on me."

"Suit your self, Princess," Ku replied.

Ku walks over and Sits on his bed, sighing.

"Ku, do you want me to make a pot of tea?" Yuki asks.

"I'm fine, Your highness, Besides your a prince it's not proper for you to do the things that I'm supposed to," Ku replies.

"But—-"

"No Buts, even if I'm hurt I must do work or I won't get paid or worse I'll get sent out of the forbidden city." Ku says "So from now I am, Your loyal servant, in front of others. To You, your highness, I am your friend and normal human being."

"Ah, Your so sweet. Ku, I'll never know why." Yuki speaks.

"Enters her highness, Princess Shiatsu!" Shouted a servant.

"Greetings to your highness," Ku says.

"My dear brother has a new little servant, indeed." She speaks with such a cocky tone "Rise."

"Thank you, Your highness," Ku speaks.

"Ku, Make a pot of tea, for me and sister," Yuki says.

"As you wish your highness," Ku replied.

"No, need. I have some tea from the empress, for my return from far out west." She says "Have it served for my brother and the servant."

"Thank you, Your highness, for the offer but this is expensive tea and I prefer you to drink some your self," Ku says.

"No, You must drink it, it's an order." She replied.

"As, You wish, Your highness," Ku says.

Ku takes a sip of the tea, noticing the poison in the tea. Still drinks a little more.

"Thank you, that was lovely your highness," Ku replied.

She was confused. He should be affected by the poison and his body should be the worse cause of the poison the empress had in his body, maybe it won't show till a certain time. That's gotta be it, right?

"Ku, You look pale." Yuki said.

"No, I'm quiet fine your highness." Ku replied.

'Though even though the poison doesn't physically show, it will affect me in a manor of time, how long? I have no idea, but if they test me to see, they see a large amount of dose.'

Yuki stood up and walks closer to him, places his hand on Ku's forehead and noticed how normal it is.

"I see, Hmm?" Yuki mutters.

'I expected him to have a fever from sisters tea, but nothing at all.'

"I will be leaving now, that is all." She replied.

"Your highness! Your highness! His majesty is dead! His majesty is dead! Your the new emperor!" Shouted a servant.
