Chapter 4
Many days have past since when the three had their small little fight. Ever since then Seral had kept her distance from the two but made sure to keep an eye on them. It would seem that Raseleane and Lykouleon had finally got a liking for each other and seemed to be having more fun then they were before. Most of the time when Seral went to check on the two Raseleane would be either smiling or laughing, and Lykouleon would have a shine about him. There has also been some trouble with a stronger Yokai but not the Demon King. This Yokai wishes the destruction of the Heir to the Dragon Tribe. Many more officers had been taken in and a few of them had been chosen by Lykouleon. Although there is one that his father doesn't like so much since he's a Yokai but he's trustworthy.
Lykouleon smiled down at Raseleane who was holding his hand while they walked down the hallway. "So are we going to each lunch now or would you like to wait?" he asked his future wife.
Raseleane smiled back at him "Not now, let's just walk around for a while more" she said to him.
Seral was walking about a ways behind the two. Her eyes closed slightly as she continued to walk and listen to them. Upon bumping into someone she managed to keep her balance and surprisingly said "I'm sorry about that..I wasn't looking at where I was walking" she said before opening her eyes seeing quite a handsome man. Black hair, black eyes, and one of the things that got Seral the most was that he's taller then her. A small blush was seen on her face although it was hidden and unnoticeable.
Tetheus looked at Seral and shook his head "That is okay. You're the one who's watching the Young Heir and future lady, am I right?" he asked her.
A gentleman at that! Or at the least more of a gentleman then the other men she had seen or known. "That's correct" she told him.
Tetheus raised a brow slightly "Shouldn't you be closer up to them then?" he asked her again.
Lykouleon and Raseleane had stopped walking and turned around since Raseleane heard her sister talking. Raseleane didn't mean to get into a fight with her sister but she didn't want her sister to hurt her future husband.
Seral smiled slightly "Heh..I would but I kind of gotten into a fight with my sister, or the future Lady" she said as she rubbed the side of her face where she was hit by her sister. Seral's face turned slightly paler then normal.
Lykouleon looked at the two "You know..I'm still a bit mad at her but you should try and make up with your sister" he told Raseleane.
Raseleane let out a small sigh "I have been..but she's been avoiding me" she told him. Her attention turned to Seral and an expression of shock came onto her face "Seral!" she yelled worriedly.
Seral had began to fall back from where she was standing which happened not to be the best spot since they were right by stairs.
Tetheus' face looked slightly shocked before he quickly caught Seral and pulled her away from the stairs. Feeling her forehead with the side of his face his attention turned over to Raseleane who had run up to the two. "She has a high fever" he said.
Raseleane looked worriedly at her sister. "We've got to get her into her own bed! I'm going to go get a pail of cold water and a cloth you two please bring her to her room" she told them before running off.
Lykouleon nodded as his future wife ran off. "You don't need much help do you Tetheus?" he asked him.
Tetheus shook his head "She's light to me" he said as he easily picked her up bridal style as Lykouleon led them to her room. Upon entering the room Tetheus set Seral down on her bed.
Lykouleon got her blankets over Seral. "Hmm.." he mumbled to himself.
Seral's eyes stayed closed as she laid there. To most people it was hard to tell but she wasn't just in pain from a fever but her entire body was hurting her. Her explanation of it would be being burned and stabbed, not something everyone can take.
Raseleane finally entered the room with a pail and a cloth on the side of it. "Please move" she said as the two males walked out of the way and she set the pail down on the side table by Seral's bed. After soaking the cloth in the cold water and draining most of it out of the cloth she set it on Seral's forehead to help cool down her body. A look of extreme worry came onto Raseleane's face as she stood there by the side of Seral's bed. This was one of the few things about Seral she knew that most people didn't. Raseleane knew that Seral didn't have this all the time, it wasn't something that Seral was born with but it happens every so often when she feels too much pain, sadness or happiness. Raseleane could still remember the first time she saw this happen to her sister, and there wasn't much she could do…
A younger looking Seral was walking in the woods followed by an even younger Raseleane. A smile pulled across Seral's face. "Raseleane I'm going to make sure to get you an entire bouquet of those purple flowers you like!" she said enthusiastically.
Raseleane smiled back at Seral "Sister you don't have to..and I think we're getting too far from the house" she said a bit worriedly as she looked the opposite way they were going.
Seral just grinned at Raseleane "We'll be fine!" she said to her young sister. Almost in the blink of an eye Seral had turned pale and fell onto the floor luckily caught for the most part by her sister.
Raseleane looked worriedly at Seral. "Seral! What's wrong!" she said as she was now kneeled down on the ground with Seral's head on her lap. "Seral! Answer me!" she yelled worriedly trying to shake her older sister awake.
Seral's eyes opened slightly and looked at Raseleane "I should be fine after a while--!" she was cut off as a serge of pain went throughout her body. "It..it hurts" she admitted as a few tears wielded up in her eyes.
Raseleane also had tears building up in her eyes "Seral! Don't worry I'll get help!" she told her but remembered that they were a ways from anyone. Her attention shifted as she looked around for something.
Seral winced in pain again "It feels like I'm burning..no being stabbed and it's getting hard for me to breathe" she said as she inhaled quickly. "Make it stop sister!" she cried as she grabbed onto Raseleane's clothing in attempt to make herself feel better.
Raseleane looked like she was in shock as tears fell from her face. This had been a complete shock to her to see her older sister crying for help, her older sister…
Raseleane snapped out of it when she remembered something her mother had told her that would help slightly to relieve the pain. She quickly went over to the small side table by the bed and opened the one drawer pulling out a knife. Going over to her sister but being stopped by both Tetheus and Lykouleon's hands.
Lykouleon looked slightly shocked at Raseleane but in more of a way to say 'What are you doing!".
Tetheus' face was calm like normal but had the feeling of the same thing as Lykouleon.
Raseleane looked at the two "Let go I'm not going to hurt her" she said matter-of-factly. As the two let go she pulled the blankets from Seral she took of anything clothing that was easy to get off but used the knife to get anything off that would take too much time.
Lykouleon and Tetheus had turned away in the mind of being polite.
Raseleane stopped as the only thing let on the upper part of Seral's body was her undergarment. "That should help sister" she said as she set the knife back where she found it and went to get a chair. Setting it down by the side of Seral's bed and sitting down keeping an eye on her older sister.
