Hereditary Prince's Wife

Chapter 7

Looking at the relationship between Asalie and Emperor Massai today, it is very likely that the reason for Zane's death was because Emperor Massai did not like the Prince of Asalie and wanted to take back the power of Asalie to be under his direct rule. "In that case, I must be on guard and make a plan so that there is no tragedy in Asalie and also improve Emperor Massai's trust to the Prince of Asalie" Zane muttered in his heart.

"Princess, your dinner is ready. Can we go in?", said a waiter from outside the room.

"Ah", Zane was about to utter the words when Gene stood up first and walked to the door of the room. Gene said sternly, "The Hereditary Prince only allows me, Doctor Farkas and Sir Tala to enter here. Remember it well".

Zane was a little surprised that Gene sounded unusually stern. Zane looked at Gene who was carrying a tray of food into the room. Gene saw Zane looking at him and said to explain, "The Hereditary Prince forbids everyone from entering the room and only I, Doctor Farkas who is in charge of the young master's health and Sir Tala who is the Hereditary Prince's right-hand man are allowed to enter and see the young master. A few days ago, Doctor Albert came here to check on your health and the Hereditary Prince was not in the mansion at the time. I allowed Doctor Albert to come in to check on you, but when the Hereditary Prince came home and found out about it, I was scolded. At that time I was just asking the guards who were outside and because I said that Doctor Albert was the doctor of the Thylane family, he was welcome to come in."

Gene was silent for a moment before saying again, "The Hereditary Prince was furious back then and I got a lot of direction from him. Because there was no butler in this mansion, so Sir Tala took care of everything, but after all, Sir Tala was a soldier. Therefore, the Hereditary entrusted the household affairs in this mansion to me. There were a few new maids working in the kitchen and Gino was watching them but I couldn't fully control them yet so the Hereditary Prince told me to be even more firm. And of all things, the Hereditary Prince wants your safety to be preserved. So, no one else is allowed to enter the room without the permission of the Hereditary Prince, including Doctor Albert."

"Oh, that's good. Is Doctor Albert still here?", Zane nodded with a small smile on his lips. He knew for sure that Doctor Albert was so embarrassed that he was not allowed to enter and examine him.

"Doctor Albert is still in the mansion, but he is not allowed to leave the guest backyard without the Hereditary Prince's permission. Do you want to meet him?", Gene replied with a slight frown.

"Aha, no. Bring my food here", Zane didn't seem to care and just wanted to eat and eat.

Gene smiled and then helped Zane sit down and then placed a small table on Zane's lap to put his food on. Zane stared at the food and wanted to eat it immediately but he smelled the same medicine he used to take before when he was in Thylane's family. Though since he woke up, he hadn't smelled that kind of medicine at all anymore which meant that during his time in Asalie, he hadn't taken the same medicines as he had in Odessa. Zane lifted the bowl of soup and smelled the aroma and put it down again, Zane did it again with all the food available. After making sure, he only ate food that did not have the aroma of the drug.

Gene looked at him in confusion but said nothing and let his young master eat comfortably while she prepared hot tea for Zane to drink. Gene glanced at her young master several times whose face looked more colorful than before, Gene remembered very well when he was in Odessa, all year long Zane's face was always pale and sometimes even too pale until it look like the color is green as if there was no blood flowing on his face anymore and Zane would breathe his last at any time. However, right now, in just a matter of days, Zane already looks alive with a face that has color. And even after waking up from his long sleep, Zane was not weak at all, vomiting, coughing up to bleeding or nosebleeds. Even at this moment, Zane could instantly eat with a bright face and his breath was not as tight as usual. Gene, who initially felt hurt about Zane's marriage to the Hereditary Prince, now felt more relieved.

"Young master, why don't you eat the soup?", Gene who gave the tea prescribed by doctor Farkas to Zane looked at the food that was not touched at all.

"Because I don't like the smell, like the smell of the medicine I used to take before", replied Zane who accepted the tea given to Gene and then drank it.

"Hm, I'll remind the kitchen not to make the same soup again", Gene smiled and made the bed again so that Zane could be more comfortable.

"Where is the Hereditary Prince? Didn't you say earlier, the Hereditary Prince usually sleeps here", Zane, who was full, finally remembered Randall who had left earlier and had not yet returned.

"Do you want to talk to the Hereditary Prince? I'll find the Hereditary Prince for you", replied Gene who carried the leftovers out of the room.

"Yes, oh yes. Tell Doctor Albert to just go back to Odessa", said Zane to Gene who had opened the door to the room.

“… Alright, I'll tell Doctor Albert," replied Gene who then left the room.

Shortly after Gene left the room, Randall walked into the room in his thin, slack nightgown so that his flat chest was clearly visible. Zane, who saw the scene, was envious of Randall's body which showed the masculine aura of a man. While Zane was still alive in his original body, even with the gym and work out as a cop, his body couldn't be shaped at all like Randall and remained skinny with few muscles in his abdomen. But right now, in Zane's body, dreaming of having muscles alone is impossible because his body is so thin that even the flesh to cover his bones is very minimal.

"How are you doing? I heard that you were looking for me," said Randall, who pulled a chair to sit next to the bed.

Zane smiled and said quietly, "Thank you, Your Highness. The Hereditary Prince has helped me a lot, even though I have just arrived but have troubled you a lot".

"What are you saying? Aren't we getting married? And all I did was a small thing, you don't have to worry", Randall smiled slightly at Zane's face which was a little colored and not as pale as before.

"Still, I have to thank the Hereditary Prince. If one day you need my help then I will help you wholeheartedly", Zane looked at Randall's face who when smiling showed the dimples on his right cheek.

"Then live well and be healthy for a long time. That's all I need from you", Randall held Zane's head and stroked it slowly.
