Nathan was watching the crystal bead when rose came to wrap her arms around his neck as she kissed his cheeks.
"Good morning" I said as I kissed his cheeks once again, Nathan smirked seeing rose behaving like that, He remembered fighting with her because he wanted her heart and at last, she had submitted to him and finally she was his.
"Good morning" he said as his gaze never left the crystal bead.
"Uhmm, can I check my mother if she is doing good" Rose said, Nathan's eyes widened, he didn't expect the day to come this fast. He wanted to tell her so badly that the queen wasn't her real mother, he couldn't say that, he would just be confusing her.
"Sure, why?" he asked her.
"I just wanted to check if she is fine, besides, I promised to visit her but, I guess I can't do that" I said sadly.
"Come, take a look" he said, I went to watch my mother, she was smiling happily but then she started coughing, I creased my forehead, why was she coughing?, what had happened to her?, I saw father coughing also, but this time father coughed blood, blood?, what had happened to them, I watched my mother clutched her chest tightly as panic hit me badly.
"Nathan, what is the meaning of this?, what happened to them?" I asked him as I tugged at his shirt.
"I don't know" he lied.
"You know, please tell me?" I begged him, he couldn't bear to see her like that so he told her.
"They were strucked with a disease" he said and my eyes widened in horror.
"What disease?" I asked him.
"I don't know about that" he said again.
"Is everyone affected?" I asked him.
"No, just the people in the castle" he said.
"Is it contagious?" I asked.
"Yes, that is why the king never met his members, he was scared of spreading the disease to them" Nathan explained.
"If the disease gets to them, there is no way everybody in the kingdom wouldn't be affected, that was why the king chose to be in his room because he didn't want everyone to suffer" Nathan explained again.
"Is it that severe?" I asked him, what kind of a question was this?. I asked myself
"Yes, they would not last three days more" he said, he shouldn't have said that, now she would pressurize him to save them.
"Nathan what can I do to save them?" I asked, he could see tears wanting to come out from her eyes.
"Nothing" he lied again.
"I know there is something, please tell me" I begged again.
"I really don't know" he said again.
An idea popped into my head, "I would meet the king" I said, I purposely said it so that he would change his mind and help me.
"What are you going to say when you get there, you want to save your human father?, don't forget the king is a demon, so he wouldn't consider your request" he said.
"Can't you help me?" I asked him again.
"Are you trying to kill him?" Zach said as he busted into their room, the foolish demon forgot to knock again.
"How many tim...." Nathan trailed off but was cut short by Zach.
"Do I have to tell you to knock before coming in" he said as he imitated Nathan's voice.
"Come on, I memorized that already" he said and turned to rose.
"Yeah, this pretty lady here is trying to kill her husband, do you want him dead so badly?" he asked me and I quickly faced down, I knew I was selfish to ask for this but I couldn't help but ask, it was the matter of my parents.
"I know okay, you don't need to think about that" Zach commented after reading her thoughts.
"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked Zach.
"Are you saying I can't come to see you anymore?" Zach asked.
"Remember Nathan, you always came to me when you were bored before you met her, since she came into your life everything had changed" Zach complained, he wasn't happy that Nathan wasn't the way he was before, but he was happy that he found the person he loved dearly and that was Rose.
"Zach please we have a situation at hand now, I'll talk to you later" Nathan said. He asked the demon to give them some privacy and Zach left.
"Please Nathan, just save my parents, I promise I would do anything in return" I begged him as tears flowed from my eyes.
He kept quiet still looking at me with those red eyes, I wondered what he was thinking about. He tilted his head to one side..
"Anything?" he asked me and I nodded, what else would he ask from me, I was his already even if he asked me to die for him, I would gladly do so. He was everything to me, I would never think of hurting him. Anything he asked for I would give him.
"Yes, I would do anything" I told him.
"Alright I would help you, tommorow you would meet your mother" he said and I hugged him. Nathan knew he was going to do this whether it's now or not, but he never knew his end was coming this soon, he would ask her to wait for him, he wasn't sure himself if he would wake up once he died, that part, also was hidden from the king.
He never regretted once being with her, even if Zach and his father had told him, he was bringing an impending doom on himself. He never really cared what they say at all, he would only follow his heart and that was her, his love, his life, his entire world, if he would die because of her, he would gladly die for her. He was going to suffer it alone and he didn't want rose to be hurt. He caressed her hair as he kissed it, he wished he could still spend more days with her but he couldn't, that wouldn't happen.
