MY PRINCE

Bab 08 - English Version

There was a sound of beeps roaring where Arga was lying, a small bed with support poles and a mosquito net on it covering the horned man's body who was still asleep. The pain from the poison mixed with her food has now disappeared, Laila has put a sedative into Arga's mouth, the medicine is liquid like a maroon colored drink.

The voice that was heard earlier was apparently a machine that detected Arga's heart, that is, the blonde man was still said to be alive if the machine made a sound. This place is none other than Laila's laboratory, there are a lot of glass cabinets in which tens or even hundreds of bottles of medicine are stored, that girl seems to have the talent to become a scientist or a doctor, but unfortunately, because her life is destined as princess, Laila couldn't turn away from anything other than royal leadership even though she didn't like it.

Bright blue walls accompanied by the smell of drugs are the hallmark of a laboratory, equipped with tables on which there are glass jars with unique shapes, some like snakes, gems, even dolls, the contents of these jars are liquid from Laila's experiments in researching various chemical reactions.

"Princess Laila, has the poison you gave Mr. Arga completely disappeared in his whole body? Sorry if I ask and disturb you, but I'm just worried that if you kill him, then King William will definitely punish you, because Mr. Arga is a special guest. he."

Laila who was standing near Arga's bed to monitor the extent of the man's progress in survival, immediately turned to the servant who had just asked her, then, Laila smiled and answered slowly,

"Don't worry, I've never had bad intentions in treating a guest, so you don't have to worry about that." Then, the red-haired girl took a thread from the table and sewed up the wounds on Arga's body, whether on the legs, stomach, back, or face.

Laila muttered softly, "Looks like this man has been injured as a result of his meeting with my siblings, I routinely do this to a guest so that he can get back to normal. Sometimes, the treatment that the doctor hired by my father did not produce maximum results in treating the wound. -the wound received by the patient so I have to step in to do this. "

The maid who heard Laila's mutter was a little shocked, "Wh-Is the poison you gave Mr. Arga in his food actually not a poison but a high grade sleeping pill?"

Laila smiled again at the words of the maid who looked at her from a distance, "You deserve a prize for guessing my secret."

"But, why did you give Mr. Arga the sleeping pills so much so that he fell off the chair and foam up his mouth? Was his reaction that painful, Your Majesty?"

Laila immediately responded, "I purposely gave pain to the drug because I wanted to make the man feel that he was being poisoned and threatened to die, because if he didn't, then Mr. Arga would definitely underestimate this."

"I see, it sounds, that you are very intent on protecting Mr. Arga in your own way, I am grateful." Said the maid with a proud smile at Laila, while Laila seemed to focus on sewing the wound on Arga's body.

"Servant, please, leave me with this man alone, I have things to do and I can't do them if someone notices me."

With a nod of the head, the maid immediately left Laila's laboratory. After the waiter disappeared, Laila immediately put on a mask and gloves, then she took scissors, knives, and other sharp tools to use in the final session.

"It's time to operate, hopefully it will run smoothly." said Laila with a sweaty forehead.

And Laila started the operation on Arga's body which, according to her, had to be healed.

***

Two hours have passed, the evening sky has turned into night, the sound of wolf howling can be heard loudly accompanied by the sound of insects that continue to decorate the scary night. The Vanterlock Kingdom is an area ruled by King William, the kingdom is known as a very peaceful and prosperous place, but it's different if you enter his palace. Everyone already knows, even though Vanterlock is a very peaceful kingdom, but the princesses who inhabit the palace are notoriously cruel and arrogant, many tourists are reluctant to enter the palace for fear of meeting princesses, as well as nobles, maybe only a few people who dared to visit the palace, then returned home with a very pathetic situation.

However, there was a foreign man who was not known where he came from, very brave and even confident when he entered the palace and offered to marry one of the princesses in the Vanterlock kingdom. Then, because of the surprising arrival of Arga Gelisto, all parties, from commoners to the nobles were shocked by it.

Even today, Arga has met at least four of the five princesses of the Vanterlock kingdom. Arga has already felt the torment of Princess Charlotte, Princess Victoria, Princess Emilia, to Princess Laila, another daughter he has yet to meet, namely, a daughter who really likes mystical things and dark magic, namely Princess Agnes.

Of the many princesses that Arga has met, only Princess Laila thinks she is very good at welcoming him, even though she is also exposed to the poison that Laila mixes in the food she eats, when in fact, the poison is not just any poison.

"W-Where am I?" Arga had gathered his consciousness and was shocked to see his eyes caught by the glare of the large operating lamp hanging right near his face. Wait a minute? Why is he in a surgery like this? Who operated on his body? Arga's mind immediately rushed everywhere.

Vaguely, he saw someone standing looking at him from the edge of the bed, that person's face was covered by wearing a mask and all he knew was the blue color of his eyes and his long, crimson hair.

"Thank goodness, you're awake, Mr. Arga."

That voice? Isn't that Laila's voice? Arga thought began to be curious, he seemed not to understand the current situation. If it's Laila, why is that girl wearing a mask and also wearing clothes like a doctor who performs surgery, namely green clothes and pants, where's that beautiful dress?

"What am I doing here with you?" The question was accidentally thrown out of Arga's mouth, even though he wanted to ask more specific things.

"Your wounds. I treated your wounds on your back, then on the soles of your feet and your internal organs. What happened to you getting so many wounds like that, Mr. Arga?"

Arga is still lying limply on the bed, the silence that envelops the laboratory makes it awkward to talk to Princess Laila.

"I was injured in the war I fought three months ago."

Arga knows that right now Laila is smiling behind her mask. "You're lying, right?"

"Eh?" Arga was shocked because his lie was easily discovered by Laila, can that girl read his mind, huh? Or maybe you can read the movements of a person who is lying?

"Why do you ask that?" asked Arga with a pale face.

"I can see it from the way you speak, sir. Your eyes looked away when answering my question, then the sweat from your temples, and your lips trembled a little, it is a sign someone is lying to you."

The man snorted. "Alright, I'll explain the truth."

Then, Arga told him everything he had experienced until he got these wounds until Laila understood it.

"So the wound on your back was from the laceration of Charlotte's pet dog? Then, the wound on the sole of your foot was due to Emilia's compulsion to dance ballet and because you are not yet proficient, your feet are not used to being so injured. But, why don't you just struggle to them so that you will be appreciated, Mr. Arga. At this rate, you will only become bait for their hatred for you. "

Arga's iris widened at Laila's words. "Then, how about you?"

Her brows furrowed, Laila looked surprised. "Why are you asking me?"

"I mean," Arga refuted his question. "How about you, aren't you also taking out your hatred for me by mixing poison in my food, aren't you?"

A thin smile was immediately engraved behind the mask that Laila was wearing. "Are you mad at me, sir?"

Arga's gaze immediately fixed on Laila's eyes. "What do you think?"

"You're mad at me," Laila replied simply.

"Why do you think that?"

"Of course," said Laila. "Because I poisoned you."

"Actually, you don't mean that, do you? The thing you call poison is actually a sleeping pill, right? You see, I've been through it before."

"Hmm? Experience it?"

Silence returned between the two, they looked at each other. Arga and Laila seemed to have something big to say but were reluctant to say it directly.

At first glance, it seems that Arga can understand Laila's actions that secretly protected him, as the girl is now doing, healed all the wounds Arga got from the Laila siblings.

"Laila." called Arga slowly.

The girl jumped by name, even though they were looking at each other. "What's the matter, sir?"

"Thank you."

Slowly, Laila blushed at the sudden thanks Arga thanked her. The girl immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. Laila did not expect that Arga could think like that, even though all she did was treat her health, nothing more. But, for some reason, hearing the word thank you that sounded trivial only made him very embarrassed.
