Chapter 7 MVILY
While working in the palace, Alice was entrusted to take care of all the needs of Prince Arthur. However, the prospective heir to the throne instead acted very arrogant and tried to stay away from Alice. The girl was of course very offended. He even deliberately always approached Arthur.
"Is something wrong with me, Prince?" ask Alice.
"Stay away from me! When you're done get out!" commandeered exclaiming.
"Huh, basic! Why the hell did this curtain never open?" Alice tries to open the curtain but Arthur immediately forbids.
"I love the atmosphere of a room like this. Don't ever set the mood of my room the way you want. You're just cleaning up enough!" Arthur stared intently at the threat.
The man then pushed Alice's body slowly out of her room. Along her way to the kitchen, Alice grumbled in annoyance. She lays her grievances on Ella.
"What I said. I'm sure our prince is no ordinary man. She's it–"
"Vampire mean?" Alice snorting.
"Ssttt, don't be loud. Someone will hear our conversation" Ella said.
"It seems like he did want to upset me or get out of the palace. Look at it later, I'm not going to get out easily before my father's good name is returned" Alice said.
In fact, Arthur did that because he could not stand the scent of Alice's body that lured him to suck the girl's blood. Arthur is a vampire. He had to hide his identity for the sake of his position in the kingdom. He also did it for his grandmother.
Many times Arthur tried to keep Alice away from him, Alice remained and always tried to patiently face the cold and arrogant attitude that the man had. He always obeyed Arthur's orders with a heavy heart to carry out his plan.
Until one day, Alice was invited to a deer hunt by Arthur and the other guards to a forest. Alice even laughed at the robe that Arthur was wearing. Very closed and only part of the face visible. That's why Arthur always ducks. Fortunately, Alice is good at riding so that she can follow the riding movements of Arthur and four other bodyguards.
Suddenly, Alice's gaze caught something strange.
"Your Majesty, look at the bodies!" exclaim Alice.
Arthur immediately ordered two of his guards to plunge into the river and approach the body of a man who floated and was caught in a large branch on the river bank. Mr. Liam the loyal servant touched the man's neck and still felt the man's pulse throbbing.
"He's alive!" exclaim Liam.
He pulled the man's body and brought it to the surface near Arthur. Another bodyguard immediately helped the king to bring the found man to the surface.
"Ah, what a blessing this man is," murmured Liam.
"Certainly, he's alive, it doesn't seem like he's from my kingdom?" ask Arthur.
"I think so too, Prince. Her body temperature is very cold, what if we take her to the doctor" said Liam.
"Get him on your horse!" arthur's orders turned to Alice.
"But she was heavy, I could hold her" Alice said, trying to protest.
"You want to argue?" Arthur looked at Alice sharply.
"Yes yes. But please help me, Mr. Liam. You know I'm a girl who's strong enough to do this job. Duh, this man is so big" said Alice.
"Alright, all right, all right. Mr. Liam, help him!" arthur shouted with a ketus.
They finally led the man to the palace. Then, Arthur ordered the palace doctor to come check on the man.
...*** ...
"Where did you find him?" ask Queen Samantha.
"He floats by the river in the woods, Your Majesty," said Alice.
The middle-aged man who worked as a palace doctor came to examine the patient's eyelids. He also ordered Alice to grab a cloth and warm water. The newly discovered man's body looked shivering with coldness.
"Bring me the best wine the kingdom has, I will make potions from those grapes" ordered Doctor Morgan who often treats patients and elixirs made by his hands compared to hospital medicines
"Well, I'll be right back" said Alice.
"Alice you better stay here, help Doctor Morgan! Let Ella get the wine!" arthur said give an edict.
Arthur then went to his room. Meanwhile, Ella headed for the warehouse across the palace to look for the best wine the palace had.
"Once the patient is conscious, please ask him where he comes from. You're gonna ask her who her family is and how she got washed up in the river. I was afraid that he was a robber" Queen Samantha told Alice.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Alice nodded.
"Mr Rose, can you make soup to warm her up?" ask Queen Samantha.
"Sure, Your Majesty," said Miss Rose.
"Please make it for me and Arthur. You have to make that soup for dinner tonight" Queen Samantha said.
Bu Rose nodded then stepped towards the room where she was cooking.
Alice examined the cloth soaked in warm water and then taped it to the man's body. If the cloth is cold, then replace it.
Ella came to hand Doctor Morgan a bottle of wine. The man went straight to the kitchen to process it into a potion.
"This guy's handsome too huh, Al? Where did he come from?" ella whispered and continued, "Al, is he really a robber?"
"Come," said Alice, continuing her activities despite her fear.
He carefully examined the entire body of the man. He imagined that the figure lying was the figure of Arthur. Moreover, the man who was lying was seen floating a sweet smile on Alice who looked very charming.
"Al, why smile to yourself?" ask Ella.
"Hehehe, just a fad" said Alice.
The man who was lying down looked conscious and muttered. He sounded frightened until Doctor Morgan finally realized it by patting the shoulder.
"Calm down, you're safe here" the doctor said.
"You who?" ask the man.
"I'm Doctor Morgan. I want to be at the New Silk Palace. Do you remember who you are?" ask Dr. Morgan.
Actually, Arthur peeked out from behind the wall earlier. The smell of the man's body is different. But still not as charming as Alice.
Ms. Ros then came to bring her a potion that had been made by Doctor Morgan.
"Here, quickly drink while warm," the doctor asked the man.
He helped the man to sit down while taking the medicinal herb earlier.
"Thank you" he said.
"Then, how did you get to that river?" ask Alice impatiently.
"I-I, I've been ruined. The creatures
it attacked all my village" he said in tears.
"The creatures? Where did you come from? Ummm. Introduce my name is Alice" said Alice as she extended her hand.
"My name is Joshua, I'm from the Blue Sheep Kingdom" he said, shaking Alice's hand.
"Well, that's pretty far from here. You're great to be able to survive drifting into the river, too" Ella chirped.
"Maybe it's a miracle even though I chose to die so I could catch up with my family. Those humans called Lycan are ravaging my village. They slaughtered and burned everything. They killed my family" Joshua sobbed.
"Why did they do that?" ask Alice.
