(KING ANAWMIM'S POV)
"Have you seen Prince Agememnom?" I asked one of the guards in the hallway. After having lunch with the generals and advisors, I told them to head back to the Curis Regis, cause I had to do something.
'Where did he go?' I was lost in thought till a guard shook me violently to steal me from my thoughts.
"Prince Age. mem.nom. Isn't okay your majesty". The guard struggled with his breath as he ran to inform me of this.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked trying not to look curious but he could tell as I was running-walking to Agememnom's chamber. "He sniffed in Dangerous Beauty". "What?" ."Yes my king". I ran this time, no longer pretending.
When i got to Agememnom's chamber, I barged in. What the guard had said was true. His eyes had dark circles as they were closed, and he had a really big eye bag, with black veins that were really obvious on his forehead.
"Your highness". Run Ni Tama got up from the bed and bowed. That wasn't what consumed my mind. My son looks horrible and that pained my spine. "He's going to be okay". Run Ni Tama assures me as he reads my expression. I turned to look at Run Ni Tama. "How did you know that?"."He just needs to drink what is made from the flower, and he would be himself in few hours. Like nothing had happened to him". "I hope so". I said maintaining my normal demeanour but I was worried deep down.
"I need to adjourn the meeting. Follow me Run Ni Tama. Your father will be leaving after the adjournment". I said convincingly. "Permit me my king, but I'll like to stay here till he awakens". Run Ni Tama said as he bows. I blinked several times to express my extent of shock. "But why if I may ask?". I asked as I returned to my normal demeanour. "Prince Agememnom turned out to be the only friend I have. Besides, I would like be sure if what he takes works for him". "What???!!!"."No I didn't say it won't work. It certainly will but I just haven't practiced it". He said the last sentence with nervousness written all over his face as he walked to side Agememnom laid. His eyes held fear and sorrow. Door opens, as a maid walks in with a tray and a cup on it. "Malicious how much more will I need to remind you, that it's best to knock before you walk in". "My king the prince is in a critical condition. Not a second should be spared". "I know that Malicious". "I won't be reminded again". She said and bowed. Run Ni Tama walks to her and collects the tray. Then walks casually to the side of the bed. "Agememnom you need to open your eyes". He spoke so mildly. Agememnom forced his eyes open to stare at Run Ni Tama. "Here drink this". Agememnom's eyes were filled with stress. He opens his mouth to drink while Run Ni Tama helps him hold to cup. "Now rest". Run Ni Tama said and Agememnom laid back in bed. "You can take your leave now, Run Ni Tama". "My apologies my king, but I'll like to see the prince when he wakes". "But your father awaits you". "He should get going. I'll leave only after the prince wakes". "Then let me order a guard to inform your father about your decision". "Thank you your majesty". Run Ni Tama bowed.

"He isn't ready to leave yet". "Yes sir". "Okay. I shall get going then". I turned to leave. 'He's displaying his stubbornness here also'. I turned to face the guard who was still in the position I saw him before I turned to leave. "I shall wait till he is ready to leave". "I shall inform the king about this".

Looking at Agememnom, he seems to have returned to his normal state. Only stress was evident in his breathing. "How did you know about such a disease and the cure?". I opened an atmosphere of conversation to sweep away the calm one. "My father taught me about it. He would often bring up such topics when we were leisurely chatting about politics. I remember of a day that came, he told me about the flower, the disease it causes and it's cure. I told him I won't be needing it". "And today you made use of what you thought you weren't going to be needing". I completed his words and we laughed. (knocks). "Come in". I invited. "Oh my son". A body brushed passed Run Ni Tama and I. Heading for the side of Agememnom's bed where he laid, before Run Ni Tama held the wrist of the person. "Where are you going?"
Run Ni Tama asked stoically. "Excuse me?". The person was shocked". "Run Ni Tama that's Agememnom's mother". His expression immediately calmed. "My apologies, my queen". He apologized and bowed. "It's okay". She accepted with sincere smile on her lips, then she went to the side where Agememnom laid. "Oh my son what have you done to yourself?". She sobbed but no tear rolled down her eyes. (knock knock). "Come in". I invited again. Then a guard entered with Run Ni Tama's father, Sun Ni Tama. "He said he would leave with his son". The guard said with his head bowed before the king. "You may leave". "Yes your majesty". He bowed again then left. "I'm impressed". " Why is that your majesty". "Your son just saved the prince of Vetimom from death". "Is that the reason the prince is asleep?". I nodded as an answer to Sun Ni Tama's question.
"I plan to take him to the school of physicians". "That doesn't quit suit him". Agememnom yawns as his eyes slowly opens. I could tell from the way he looked his eyes were heavy. Run Ni Tama ran to his side and Agememnom smiled in relief. Everyone in the room returned it with theirs. I turned to face Sun Ni Tama. "Becoming a worrior suits him better. He won't be like other worriors who only have the skill of sword, but, he would also have the training of a physician". Sun ni Tama looked at me in amusement. "I do not understand your highness". "He can be trained as a worrior and also a physician". "But my king". " Father". Agememnom interrupted. We both turned to look at him. "I would like Run Ni to train with me from next week". "You should ask his father not me". I said as I faced Sun Ni Tama who appeared astonished. Agememnom tried getting up from his bed but Run Ni Tama pushed him back. "You should rest. Your body is still weak due to the poison". "But I can't be affected by it again, right?". " Yes, not totally. If you happen". "To inhale it again". Agememnom completed Run Ni Tama's sentence. "Yes your majesty". Run Ni Tama courtesied to approve his words right. He got up from the bed and walked to Sun Ni Tama. He had difficulty in walking but, he managed".
Finally, he came up close to Sun Ni Tama and Sun Ni Tama squatted. "Can Run Ni Tama train with me from next week?". "Yes your majesty". "Thank you". Agememnom said and smiled to show his extent of appreciation. "It is late already. A carriage will be taking you both home". "Not to worry, your majesty. We came with ours". "Then some guards shall excort you". "Thank you for your generosity, your majesty". Both father and son spoke then courtesied before leaving.
