Elatha holding her in his arms panicked! He quickly head back to the Moon Empire and called for the royal doctor. Everyone also heads back, while everyone cheers for the return of their emperor. Even the ex-Sun people happened that they were under the Moon empire now, Elatha did not make any of the ex sun kingdom people slaves, he let them live their life.
However, anyone who was against the Moon empire shall be put to death. A lot of the Sun Noble family was put to death because they were against being under the Moon empire. For Elatha, he was in pain, crying his heart. Afraid of losing Viviana. He held her hand, as she lay in a royal bed, sweating and pale.
She was barely breathing and she was becoming cold. Lips pale as white as the snow outside. No matter how many royal doctors or any doctor from the Moon empire couldn't heal her. So far, no magic can heal her or end this deadly poison.
It had been almost a month and news spread about the Moon emperor having a soft spot for a maiden lady, he would cry for her and stay by her bed all day. Everyone was curious about who it could be. Which was true. Elatha hadn't been eating because he was worried about Viviana so much.
"Viviana… please wake up… Please… if I lose you… I will have nothing…"
He squeezes her hand tightly as tears build up in his eyes. Eternal who wouldn't dare to enter the room, couldn't bring himself to see his sister who was slowly dying because of this deadly poison. He knew if he saw his sister like that now, he wouldn't be able to stop his tears. He just waited outside the door every day for three hours. He only look down at the floor and had his arm crossed without saying or making a sound.
"Master Eternal… Shouldn't you enter to see your sister? Why must you stand in front of the door every day?"
Philip asked Eternal and he look up from the floor. Philip didn't understand why his master was like this. Eternal looked at Philip.
"Philip… if I enter the room, I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from crying…"
"I understand Master Eternal… it's time to go to the business meeting for the steel metal…"
Eternal uncrossed his arms and left without a word. It was his duty as duke to keep his family business going. He soon became a workaholic, he focus on working so much and training. Until he met someone later in life…
Back to Elatha… he heard a knock on the door and got up from his spot next to Viviana who was slowly dying. He opens the door and closes the door behind him. It was none other than the ice dragon who was in their human form. He was of course a hybrid dragon.
"Your Majesty,"
The ice dragon hybrid greeted and Elatha stopped him.
"Tian Kuo, I told you to call me Elatha…"
"If this is your wish,"
Tian Kuo was very handsome, with icy blue hair and black pitch eyes. His hair was long and his clothes were of course from the Yibo-Wei Empire, it was color dark blue and sometimes he speak, you can see some cold air.
No one knows who Tian Kuo is. He could be a prince, a noble, or a slave. No idea who he was, he is full of surprise. Only Elatha and Tian Kuo himself know who he is. How they met was also a secret between those two. Everyone just knows they are great friends.
"What brings you here? I thought you left for home?"
"How could I go home when the lady my friend love is greatly sick…"
Elatha nodded.
"So… what do you have in mind?"
Elatha crossed his arms. Tian Kuo opens his palm and a magic flower appears in his palm. It was a green flower that slowly glow like jade.
"The winter flower only grows during fall and winter. This flower only blooms during winter as well, our kind call this 'Xuefei' but the Moon empire knows it as 'the forever alone jade' since its color shine and glows like jade."
Tian Kuo handed the flower to Elatha. Elatha took it and it was burning him because of how cold it is.
"Be careful, since it's so cold… it will burn you, use your magic skill to hold it in the air,"
Elatha use his magic skill to hold it in the air.
"Will this work?"
Tian Kuo didn't say a word, it seem like forever before he said something.
"It does work… I know cause I used this to save my old lover… who… left me for another man…"
Tian Kuo turns around and walks away. Leaves the Moon empire, by turning into his ice dragon form and flying away. Elatha felt sad, he understood that feeling of someone you loved, leaving you for another man.
"I will someday repay you, Tian Kuo,"
Elatha open the door and went up to Viviana's almost lifeless body. He opens her mouth and slowly uses his magic to have the flower in her mouth melt like snow. He made sure she swallow the flower. Slowly Viviana's face became full of color and her body became warm. Her lips were soon returning to pink and her cheeks are back to be rosy red.
Slowly Viviana open her eyes as Elatha held her hand and look down at the bed with tears. He prayed for this work. This was his last hope…
"Elatha…"
She softly call out to him and she squeeze his hand that held her hand. Elatha looks up at her still with tears.
"Viviana!"
He kissed her lips before he slowly pull away. Viviana tear up and cupped his cheeks.
"Why are you crying?"
She gently wipes his tears. Elatha just cry more, he couldn't stop his tears. He was smiling with joy that it worked.
"I'll go get the royal doctor!"
He quickly got up from the bed and wipe his tears. Quickly calling the maid to get the royal doctor, to check up on her health. Viviana was now alone in the room. She look around and see she wasn't wearing her outfit from the day of the battle. She was wearing a simple long sleeves nightgown that was long to her knees.
She recall the day of the battle, she felt chills, remembering seeing so much blood. The door open up and the royal doctor came up to her. Everyone was shocked to see her alive and seem like she regain life.
"Lady Viviana! You're alive!"
The royal doctor pull a chair next to her to check her pulse and soon check to see any sign of sickness. She was not completely fine. The royal doctor look at Elatha who was waiting for an answer.
"Your Majesty, this is truly a blessing Lady Viviana is alive! Her body is still a little weak, it is best to not have her move around too much… Just make sure she does get some fresh air… Like in the garden.."
The royal doctor smiled and Elatha sighed in relief.
"Thank you… You may leave…"
The royal doctor bow before he left. Elatha sits on the bed near her.
"How are you feeling?"
He touches her forehead before his hand slowly moves down to her cheeks. She looked him in the eyes. Seeing how much he cares about her.
"I am feeling alright now…"
Slowly Viviana held his hand that touch her cheeks now.
"Rest some more before you go out for some fresh air,"
He got off the bed and open the door, leaving her alone. Soon maid came in and use a wet cloth to wash her. Soon they help Viviana stand up and her legs were shaking a bit.
"I don't think I can walk…"
The maid helps her back on the bed. They change her clothes into some simple clothes that were the color purple. They also help did her hair in a simple hairstyle and added some flowers. The maids left the shoe that matched the dress on the floor next to the bed. She was barefoot. The maid also left a fur coat next to her. The maid left and Elatha came back in.
He also changed his clothes and had his hairbrush back. Wearing his black fur coat. He was now looking more like an emperor.
"I heard you can't stand up…"
Elatha was now in front of Viviana. She looks up at him. He helps put the coat on her before he helps slip her shoes on. Making her feel like a princess.
"I am not sure why…"
"It's because your body is weak… you have been in bed for almost a month…"
He stood up before he place both of his arms between her. Leaving her trapped as his forehead touched her forehead. Viviana started to become flustered.
"So, how am I supported to get fresh air?"
He then lifted her bride-style, she panic and wrap her arms around his neck.
"K-kaiser!"
He softly smirked.
"I haven't heard that name in a while~"
He walks out of the room and all the maids watch them. Viviana felt embarrassed. He walk straight to the courtyard as it started to snow on them.
"Should we just stand here and enjoy this snow?"
"Elatha it's too cold~"
He softly chuckles before they both are inside the greenhouse. The guard opens the glass door. He uses his magic to make all of the planets in the greenhouse grow and even grass grow tall and soft. It was warm in here. Viviana was amazed.
Kaiser placed her down on a chair that was next to a table full of sweets. He got on my knee and kissed her hand.
"Viviana~ I have something to say…"
He looks up at her while still on one knee. Viviana cover her mouth, in her head, she couldn't believe it! Is he really going to say-
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!"
