Viviana was shocked to see his house. It was kind of clean. With books everywhere and planets growing from everywhere.
"This is the living room, Be very careful to not trip…"
Kaiser smiled and walk into the living with Viviana following him behind. He show her the kitchen which was super clean!
"Wow! Your kitchen is very clean!"
"That's because I never cook anything in here…"
Viviana wondered, how he ever live if he never cook!
"I don't cook Viviana, I use magic to make food! Don't think too hard, it's very simple."
He said and opened a door. There were moving stairs that went everywhere. It was flying everywhere and didn't stop. The room was full of blank canvas on the wall and if you look down there was a small water-like lake there.
"If you look down, that is where I made your dress~ With the beautiful pond and moon light~"
Kaiser winked at her but she just rolled her eyes. Kaiser chuckled before saying,
"Let me show you the bathroom first and then other rooms…"
He said and clapped his hand.
One of the stairs flew down to the door.
"The bathroom stairs,"
He said and the stairs took him to the bathroom, which was not even a bathroom!??? It was just basically a garden with a spring water pond and a mini waterfall in the pond. Wooden pathway to it and rose petals that fall from the sky and into the pond.
"How-"
"Now princess don't be too shocked, this is nothing~"
Kaiser places his index finger on her lips to keep her quiet.
"However I am feeling, I can change the bathing room theme~"
He snaps his finger and it changes into a very fancy bathroom with a gold bathtub, walls full of beautiful patterns, a floor made out of marble, and a big gold chandelier.
"My magic can make anything into a dream come true~"
"Who are you?"
Viviana turns her attention towards Kaiser. He got to eye level and smirked.
"That's a secret princess~"
He tips her chin up before he opens the door to take different stairs to the other rooms. After the whole magic house tour. He shows Viviana her bedroom. Her bedroom was like an ice kingdom. Full of white and baby blue color but it wasn't cold at all.
"This your room, if you don't like it… let me know~ Maybe we can make it a little redder ~"
"To match your ruby eyes?"
Kaiser's eyes widen and got flustered. The first time anyone told him he had ruby eyes, They always say he got monster eyes, He was only trying to joke around with the whole red room joke.
"Do you enjoy talking about a guy's looks?"
Viviana was taken aback and was a little upset.
"Do you think I play around with guys?"
"No, I just never heard a compliment in a long time…"
Kaiser looks away and walks towards the door. All he could think was the first lady to compliment him was Calista.
*Flashback to when he was a teenager.*
In the royal garden of the Moon empire, Calista run up to him, with a red rose in her hand. Once she saw him, her eyes widen at how beautiful he was.
"Prince Elatha! Your eyes are as red as the red rose!"
He didn't say a word since he was in love with her. He tries to act cool and walks past her.
"Ow! My finger!"
Calista cries out. Elatha turn around to see one of her fingers bleed from the rose thorn. He walk back to her and take out his handkerchief and wrap it around her finger that was bleeding.
"Be more careful… It's beautiful but dangerous…"
"But, you're beautiful and not dangerous,"
Calista looks him in the eyes.
His face flustered up.
*Flashback end…*
Elatha started to cough up blood and then fell onto the floor. Viviana saw this and ran up to him. Her heart was beating so face. This reminds her of her mother's death. Tears started to form as she shake his body.
"Kaiser! Wake up! Kaiser!!"
She cry out to him and then check to see if he was still breathing. He was still breathing and she hug him.
"I am glad you are still breathing…"
She slowly tries to drag his unconscious body to the stairs. She wasn't sure which stairs to call for.
"Hello, stairs?!"
All the stairs stop flying around and stop to turn towards her.
"Um… Which one of the stairs takes to his bedroom? He just coughs up blood and is unconscious!"
Viviana felt a little stupid since, they are not living things but if they are magic items, they must understand her.
One of the stairs came up, it was a black stair… She went on it and it went up to a room she never saw before. The door was pitch black and it opened. Inside was like a royal bedroom, it was dark and cold. She went in trying to find a bed and place him down on the bed.
She looks around the room to find out more info about him. Lots of books on royal matters and the rules of being a royal prince!? Unlike the books downstairs it was full of magic spells and etc. Viviana was more curious about who he was.
She then finds a dead red rose and once she touches it, it became a white rose and all the lights turn on.
"Who are you!?"
The sword is against Viviana's neck. She slowly turns around to see a very nice handsome man. He had purple hair but his eyes were just plain brown. He was dressed well as a knight.
"I am… Viviana Oleander Chela… Kaiser cough up blood and was unconscious, I asked the stairs to take him to his bedroom… It leads me here,"
She slowly moves the sword away from her neck. The man's eyes widen at who she was and put his sword away. He fell onto his knees.
"Thank you Viviana for saving His hig- My master, he is greatly sick and needs someone to be there all the time but he is a bit stubborn,"
Viviana helps him up.
"No need to thank me, I should thank him for helping me many times, Ah what is your name?"
"You can just call me Joshua,"
He smiled. She felt a little awkward but did her best to smile back. She then went back to Kaiser. His body was shivering. She felt his forehead and he was burning.
"Oh my! He is burning! What do I do?!"
She look over at Joshua and he was calm.
"Just grab a bowl and have cool water in and also have a clean towel to put in the bowl of water, then just squeeze enough of the water out and place it on his forehead,"
Viviana nodded and rush to get a big bowl and put icy cold water. She was looking for a towel. Grab a bath towel and a face wash towel. Bring it back to the room. Joshua was shocked and was going to tell her no, however, he wanted to see where this was going.
Viviana started to take off his clothes, leaving him almost naked. Kaiser started to cough up more blood, she panic and dip the face cloth in the bowl and wipe the blood off. Now dip the whole bath towel and squeeze it. Placing it on his bare chest.
Joshua didn't say a word, he was just too shocked to see her doing this.
"Viviana! What are you doing?!"
He tries to stop her now but she stops him.
"This is what my mother use to do to my father, whenever he is sick…"
She calmly said. Sitting down in the chair next to Kaiser's bed. She slowly felt a little sleepy. She yawns before laying her head on the bed and closing her eyes. Kaiser opens his eyes and slowly sits up.
"Your highness! Forgive me for letting Viviana in this room!"
Joshua fell on one knee. Kaiser told him to rise up.
"No, you're fine… Viviana saved me… She must never find out who I really am and my illness… Please go get me some red wine…"
Joshua nodded and went to get a glass of red wine. Kaiser smiled at sleepy Viviana, his heart started to skip a beat. Brushing her hair out of her face.
"I'll help you find your Aunt Jora, so you can be happy and not so stressed working for me~"
He was about to kiss her forehead when Joshua came back. A little shy, he pretend he was grabbing a book next to her. By turning her bracelet into a book.
"Here is your wine Prince Elatha…"
Kaiser grab it and took a sip of it.
"Joshua, I need you to find someone for me…"
"What is it, your highness?"
Kaiser places the glass of wine down and turns his attention to Joshua.
"Find Princess Jora of the Sun kingdom…. Make her visit my shop, to make it look like there is hope for Viviana…"
"Oh, all this for Lady Viviana's heart?"
Kaiser smirked a bit.
"This is nothing, as long her heart is beating very joy, we can easily rip it out…"
Kaiser takes the glass of wine again and sips it. Joshua shook his head.
"Your highness, you will one day understand the key to healing you is not her heart… but something more…" Joshua said before he left to go looking for princess Jora.
Kaiser look at Viviana, trying to understand what Joshua meant.
"Maybe… It's time to visit mother again…"
Kaiser looks outside the window.

Waking up in a soft and warm blanket~ Wait… soft and warm?! I got up and look around, this is the room Kaiser showed me!!! I thought I was helping him!? Also! Those books I saw in his room. Why is he reading about royal issues?
The door opened and Kaiser came in, looking handsome in just a white collar shirt, black pants, and black and white pattern vase with black leather gloves, and his hair tied in a low ponytail~ What he is wearing is so simple but he looks so good~
What am I doing!? I shouldn't drool over him!!
"Good morning princess~ You should be up a little earlier than that to sweep the floor~ But since this is your first day, you get a pass~ Next time I'll be stricter on you,"
He winked at me. Never mind, I forgot he is a flirty man who wouldn't stop with his playboy vibe…
"I am sorry Kaiser… Next time I'll wake up early but… are there clothes I can wear for the time being? I'll pay you back!"
He crossed his arm and shook his head.
"Naughty girl like you should have pack clothes ready~ You do own me something but not money~"
What does he mean something!? Don't tell me!!? H-he want to s-sleep with me!!? I cover my chest.
"How do you want me to pay you back?"
He hums a bit before sitting at the end of the bed. Staring into my eyes. His ruby eyes are so beautiful, it's like he has power over me~
"Maybe… A little…"
He remove my arms from my chest and he bit his lips as his came closer to my face. I end up staring at his lips and I closed my eyes, he flicks my forehead.
"A foot rub be nice!"
He giggles and I open my eyes. How dare he! Ah! I almost forgot! Didn't he cough up blood yesterday!?
"Kaiser… Are you alright? You cough up blood and-"
"Cough up blood? What are you talking about?"
He smiled at me. But I remember he coughs up blood!
"You must have been drinking too much princess… Take a hot bath and then meet me in the living room,"
He patted my head and left my room. Drinking too much?! I mean it does feel a little like a nightmare… Maybe we both drink wine? I don't even know now. I got up and took the stairs to the bathroom. Taking a nice hot spring bath with flower petals falling from the sky.
After that, I saw some clothes next to the spring bath. I wore it and it was a simple maiden black dress with lace on top. It went to my knee. I wore it on and head to the living room. He was waiting.
"Do you like the dress?"
"Kind of dark but It's ok-"
He snap his finger and the dress became a purple checker pattern dress with puff sleeves and lace to cover on top of the silk dress. The dress went all the way down and simple purple shoes to match the outfit.
"Is this better?"
"Of course! Anything you make is amazing!"
I smiled at him. He smiled back. How beautiful his smile is~
"You can first help me broom the shop!"
He hands me a broom and I start brooming and dusting the shops for hours. Doing my best to make it perfect.
