Around the kingdom, many have been getting sick. This was completely unexpected, the illness spreading rather quickly and causing the kingdom to go into panic. Even doctors were falling ill, leaving very few who had escaped this fate. The worst of all was when it was announced that the crowned prince, Rui Kamishiro, had fallen ill. All his personal attendants and servants had mostly fallen ill, and since you worked at the castle, you were promoted to the position of his personal attendant. You were to take care of him at all hours of the day, even at the cost of your own health.

You watched him sleep as you rang out a rag, soaking it in more cool and fresh water. You folded the rag, glancing back at him. This job was tedious, and despite having had this role for a while now, you still weren’t accustomed to being so close to the crowned prince. You placed the rag gently on his forehead, staring down at him. You shifted back a bit, Rui suddenly opening his eyes. He smiled softly at you, the two of you not talking that much despite being together practically all the time. “Thank you, for all your help…” he spoke softly, sitting up a bit.
