Queen Melissa, Princess Stephanie and Sarah immediately stood up from their seat seeing the whole beasts crowd gathered were already leaving the palace field and they immediately went back into the castle hall to questioned him.
"Mark! Mark! You need to explain to us the meaning of that?!. You owe the whole crowd and us an explanation as of your sudden change of orders! What was that for?. Was it because of her? Have you fallen for the human female captured?!" Queen Melissa roared out, as she stormed into the palace hall and Prince Mark stopped not wanting his mother to misunderstood him.
"No mother!" Prince Mark roared back, making the heavy wind to blew into the castle hall, shutting as the entrance door forcefully closed and likewise the window slammed at full speed and his sisters and mother shuddered as they stared to him in shocked.
He was more of a beast, compared to his late father and his mother couldn't understood how that was possible either as their royal chief priest has told her that he has the ancestral pure blooded beast power of the true beast flowing in him and thru his veins after she fell terribly sick after his birth. And despite him being a single born, yet he was more stronger and possessed more supernatural powers.
Queen Melissa swallowed as she meet his black eyes, seeing that her son's eyes had also changed color from his normal golden colored to black and she didn't wanted to be scared of her own son as she shivered and so she questions him calmly, "Then why did you stop Jack from stripping her naked like the rest?. We all wanted to saw her naked and you stopped that?."
Prince Mark gulped as he stared to his mother and sisters silently in the hall, as he didn't knew how to answered to their mother's questioned either.
Seeing his mother acting strangely with him like she was scared of something, he shook his head and walked away not responding, As he went upstairs straight to his room not wanting to spoked about the human as he couldn't withstand hearing her agonizing cries as she was crying loudly, struggling and finally bent her head downward in frustration, and he was tortured and feeling to protected her.
He silently climbed up the stairs and he growled as he walked to his chamber door, feeling his beasts wanting to over took him and his inner demons awaken.
Something that he hasn't felt for years as he was 35-years old. Yet he hasn't mated with any female before, neither beast nor human, as he disliked them all and didn't felt any form of attraction towards any of them, as part of their mating bond..
He felt his whole body tensed up and heating up rapidly as he tried to unlocked his chambers entrance door and to pushed the door opened. Just then, he collapsed and fell down to the ground, just about taking a step into his chamber..
"MY LORD!" Steve screamed and immediately rushed up to meet him as Steve was following him from behind and was his personal assistant and trusted guard. Second in command after Jack whom monitored the rest of the beast-guards inside the castle and managed all the affairs of the lands.
Steve screamed out, "His majesty has fainted!" Alerting the whole castle as he rushed up to Crown Prince Mark laying on the floor and he dragged him up to carried him up into his chamber.
Queen Melissa, Princess Sarah and Princess Stephanie all rushed upstairs to meet Steve dragging Prince Mark up and they assisted Steve and carried him up to his bedroom and soon more other guards arrived with Jack and went to assisted Steve to laid him properly on the bed as he was very heavy.
"What happened to him?" Queen Melissa immediately asked Steve as she walked round his bed while Steve and Jack placed him properly..
"I don't know Gracious One, I only saw him slump towards his room door, and he staggered and fell" Steve responded while Queen Melissa shook her head and kept mute afterwards as she wondered what went wrong with her strong son especially after seeing that white human female.
"Quickly go to the priest and bring him over here to the palace" Queen Melissa Instructed Steve and he left quickly while Sarah and Stephanie both stood worriedly inside Prince Mark first chamber and they stared at their elder brother whom was now laying unconscious on his bed.
Sarah finally sat beside him and touched his arm skin after Steve left while Jack stood aside watching. And Sarah notice Prince Mark was still breathing slowly but his skin was very hot and burning.
"What happened to him mother?" Princess Stephanie finally asked their mother as Sarah touched his neck to felt his temperature.
"I don't know Stephanie, but I feel something is not right with him and that was why he left and ending the training lesson on time," Queen Melissa finally admitted.
"Why mother? Does these have anything to do with that white new slave, is she a witch?" Princess Stephanie asked out in anger as her voice was very loud.
"No Stephanie! Don't say that. I don't think so," Queen Melissa quickly denied her fear, even though she suspected it might have something to do with the new white slave as she was so white and beautiful, And looked entirely different from the rest of the human females caught.
Queen Melissa would admitted the white human was indeed beautiful but that wouldn't be enough reason why her son would suddenly fell sick.
"I don't think it has anything to do with her Stephanie, she's only human and have no powers" Queen Melissa reassured her twin daughters.
"I hope so mother, Else I will order the. guards to kill her right away, I don't care if it's against our tradition or not, but I won't let her bewitch brother" Stephanie stated and Princess Sarah quickly replied to her sister, "I believe brother will be fine, his only sick Stephanie and feeling hot."
Princess Sarah placed his palms in hers and said, "Mother why not ask the servant to prepare a bath for him to help him take his bath and to cool him down at bit as his body is overheating before the priest arrives?."
Princess Sarah continued to felt her elder brother body temperature as she was secretly studying about medicinal herbs and how to help in curing her people, other than waiting for the humans to provided them with the cure they needed. As after she lost her father, she was scared and other than waiting for the humans, she knew with how they were torturing the humans whom have protested to have their own freedom, They might one day start killing them in returned with poison herbs so she spent most of her time studying medicinal herbs and checking for cures without informing her brother about it, even though Stephanie knew as they were always together..
"How would they help him to take his bath Sarah? They can't carry your brother in this state he's laying As they're all women" Queen Melissa stated as she shook her head and turned to leave.
"Let's just wait for the priest to arrive, As his home isn't far from this palace" Queen Melissa said as she finally left the room.
Princess Stephanie stood a little more staring around in deep thinking and she left afterwards, leaving only Sarah and Jack with her elder brother whom still laid unconscious on his bed as the other guards where stationed outside in front of the castle.
"Jack!" Princess Sarah called immediately after Stephanie left.
"Yes my princess" Jack responded.
"Call in some of the guard to fill in his majesty bathtub with cold waters and carefully place him in it" Princess Sarah informed and Jack immediately responded, "Yes my princess!."
Jack left and he returned back with two guards and they all went to Prince Mark bathroom to fill the molded bathtub with the cold water as Princess Sarah instructed them too.
Princess Sarah finally left Prince Mark chamber to gave Jack and the two guards some space to attended to her elder brother and to put him carefully in the cold water as they stripped him bare.
Jack was careful not to allowed Prime Mark slipped nor hit his head on the bath as they assist him in taking his bath after stripping him naked, they deepened him in the water.
Feeling the cold water hit his extremely hot body and soothing his hot skin, Crown Prince Mark woke up and saw Jack and two other guards in his bathtub with him, and his anger boiled hot as he saw they was also naked with him.
"Your majesty!" Jack said as he saw Prince Mark awake and stirred away from their hold.
"What are you all doing here?!" Crown Prince Mark questioned out in anger, that his men were the ones bathing him, instead of the female servants that he have.
"Am sorry your majesty, but Princess Sarah suggested that we help you take a cold bath as you fainted and was laying unconscious in your bed." Jack informed as he subtly bowed standing outside of the built-in bath..
"Hmm, Leave.." Prince Mark wave his hand dismissively for Jack and the rest of the two beast-guards in his large bath to excuse him as he was so irritated having his men bath with him.
"You can all leave" Prince Mark told them but Jack quickly shook his head as he signalled to the two remaining guards to leave, after they wore back their boxers and skirt.
"What's it Jack?" Prince Mark questioned with irritation written all over his face and staring at Jack who stepped out to wore his cloth too.
"Your majesty, You're still unconscious and I cannot leave only you here by yourself" Jack replied.
"Jack!, Leave here at once!" Prince Mark commanded and Jack sighed and replied, "Yes, your majesty."
Jack wore his boxer and brown skirt and he left the bathroom and went out of the chamber, going to the corridor.
Just then Steve, the priest, with Queen Melissa and the twin princesses arrived as followed rightly behind Steve to entered into Prince Mark chamber.
But seeing Jack leaving, Queen Melissa stopped and she questioned, "Where are you going too Jack, Weren't you asked to stay with his majesty?."
Queen Melissa didn't waited for Jack's replied as she quickly walked passed him and followed Steve into her son's chamber with her two twin daughters and the priest following rightly behind her while Jack turned and walked back into the room too with them.
They all stepped into Prince Mark chamber not seeing Prince Mark on his bed, Queen Melissa immediately turned to Jack and thundered; - "Jack!, Where's his majesty?!."
"He's in the bathroom taking his bath Gracious One" Jack quickly responded surprising them all as they gasped.
"WHAT!"
Queen Melissa stared at Jack surprisingly but she couldn't rushed into her son's bathroom to check if he was truly taking his bath or not as she knew he would be completely naked.
