Everyone working at the corridors of dragon palace from which Xichan and his companions were passing through, stopped in the middle of whatever they were doing only to witness fourth prince and grat general Mu carring royal physician who was protesting for being lifted in the air and was pleading to let him walk by himself. Crown prince with royal physician's bag and commander Xin following behind, looking a little embarrassed but his seriousness got the best of that embarrassment, not giving out it that much.
They were doing something weird yet again but this time their facial expression were dead serious. Sarvents of dragon palace hadn't seen them in their weird activities but these people also have seen some of their idiocy and it also looked like this is not one of their idiotic plays and they also knew that this is not one of their everyday acts. Beause their faces were presenting horror story and they were so scared by their expression that they couldn't even breath in the same air as them.
The group with physician arrived at hte emperor's bad chamber, they opened the door to find Mika sleeping on Long Xu's bad and him sitting on a side of the bad, one hand holding Mika's hand while the other was patting Mika's forhead. The group came close to the bad and let go of the physician. The physician started at whatever he had to do without uttering a word while others were surrounding the bad looking at empress who was still unconscious which made them more and more worried.
After finishing with his treatment on the empress, the physician stood up from the bad to face those who were giving him cold chills, "Your majesty, her majesty is not in danger. She has always been weak to begin with and on top of that she hasn't eaten anything for quite some time while she should be eating in every two hours to gain energy, that's why the attack pushed her in unconsciousness. But no need to worry, she should be awake in next two or three hours, the time may get pulled long if she didn't had good night's sleep last night. She only needs to be taken care of as in her regular supply of food, good sleep and planty of rest would make her healthy for the rest of her life." he explained as he bowed to Long Xu.
"Are you sure of that, there is really is nothing to worry?" Long Xu asked with deep concern in his voice.
"Yes, your majesty. And the mark on her majesty's cheek looks serious, so I'll make a paste, apply it thrice a day and it'll fade away soon." The royal physician started to make the paste picking out the herbs from his bag. After marking it, he handed it over to the emperor who insisted to do the task himself.
"I get it. I will see that she is being taken care of. You may go now." Long Xu never lifted his gaze from Mika as he worriedly replied the physician and dismissed him.
"Then I shell take my leave." the royal phisican greeted them and left the place leaving a big sigh of relief. He had never seen any of those four that worried and blood thirsty at the same time. So he was happy to get out of there in one piece. Outside of the room he breathed relief in evening sun rays.
Commander Xin looked at Xichan, Han Zhi and Long Xin only to see worry, guilt, regret and anger evidently on their faces. He has always seen carefree aura around them, they were the same people who didn't cared about rules and regulation, always does what they wanted, thus never felt guilty for anything. But today they were guilty for their incompetence to protect her, were regretting for letting her be in such situation and were angry at themselves that they couldn't foresee this out come. He never thought he would see such expressions on their faces in this life time. Then he looked at Long Xu who had the same look as those three but looked way more guilty, maybe because he regretted that all these years he didn't paid any attention to her. He felt that he himself also was feeling these emotions, not as much as these people who are close to her but he also got fond of her as a little baby sister after the impirial court incident and watching the childish and innocent behaviour off her in that room.
The time was running marathon as always. The moon raished to accompany the population of Long Xu's bad chamber who weren't seem to get tired from today's commotion or sitting their silently or just staring at Mika without any care for sleep. But the moon decided that he doesn't have that kind of determination to stay awake just to accompany them, so he ended his sift and called the sun for his turn at this boring job.
Along with the sun Mika also rose from his sleeping posture, twisting his hands in different posture, opening his month big enough to fit a whole cow in there just for a cute morning yawn. His hairs were surprisingly not as bad as a horror movies ghost but were not as civilized for a royal personality, after all they look royal even in their sleep. And about his face, let's don't talk about that one nesty bruise was decoration enough to shut any onlooker's mouth.
Mika was waking up, he fluttered his eyes. He could feel his head giving him pain of hundred hammers but somehow he sat up and opened his eyes. He looked at every single on of their eyes but they didn't responded to him, then he shook his hand or rather his palm in front of their faces but still nothing changed. Then in the end he called them out "Oi, Long Xin, Han Zhi, Xichan Long Xu, oh no, I mean emperor, and you must be commander who, who was it? Oh yeah commander Xin. what are you guys doing in my room?" As soon as Mika completed his sentence, four of the five souls there jumped on Mika, eyes becoming moist. "Hey, you damn bastards, get off of me you jerks, damn, I can't breath, you shit headed lousy boars, get off of me. WHAT?? you guys are crying , wait, whose mother died and why are you crying while murdering me by hugging. Are you guys listening to me? Ah, damn, tiny bit more pressure would surly creak my ribcage. Just listen for once, YOU DAMN FOUR THANOS." With a shout Mika kicked four of them off of him, more like as they let go of him, he kicked them at the same time.
"What is a Thanos?" Long Xin asked as he tried to hide his tears strained face.
"Well that's marvel's super villain, not that you would know that but aside from this, you were crying right, Long Xin?" Mika teased Long Xin "Who knew a day would come when you would cry." Mika laughed.
"Shut up, idiot. I never cry." Long Xin shouted at Mika but his one hand was clenched in fist behind his back, he was angry at himself and was relieved that this idiot was alright as she was sprouting abusive words the moment she woke up . If something would have happened to her, he could have never forgiven himself. Even he himself was surprised that he was crying for someone who is just hijacking his mother's body while he never cried for his mother before, even when she was poisoned, he felt bad for her but that's it, nothing much. Maybe through this idiot he is feeling closeness to his mother also and for that he is really greatfull to this idiot. 'I am sorry mother that I never got close to you while you were alive, I only pitied you from a far but never tried to make you feel better or support you in that lonely and dark world of yours. But today I pray from the deapth of my heart that you rest in peace and have everything that you could't have in this life time.' Long Xin thought and smiled fondly at Mika who was asking something to Han Zhi
"Oi Han Zhi. Why are you all in my room? And most important of all why were you guys crying?" Mika asked Han Zhi after ignoring Long Xin's 'I never cry.' statement.
Han Zhi smiled at her. "You dumbass, how can you be this big of moron. Though your room is luxurious but this one is one hell of a room that can only belong to the emperor. At least be recognizable to the bad you always sleep on. Pay mind to your surroundings idiot." Han Zhi pointed out to him successfully changing topic from that embarrassing one.
Mika looked around , finding the place unfamiliar, turne to them and asked horrified "It is indeed not my room. Where the hell are we?"
"It looks like you forget yesterday's whole incident." XIchan pointed out to Mika.
"Huh? What incid.., Oh yeah, we were kidnapped, and now we are in some unfamiliar place, could it be....." Mika freaked out. "Could it be we are.... in .....HEAVEN?" Mika shouted.
"HHHUUUUHHH????"
