The story of the Princess Of Clarines
Chapter 25
*Cough* *Cough* I laid in bed coughing it keeps me up all time. I did not what to bother Zen because I know he is still asleep. It was 2:00 in the morning and everyone is in the castle is asleep still. I toss and turn but every time I try to go to bed. I let out a cough. Then there is a knock on the door. "Come in," I said very weak voice. The door open and walked in a Kai the guard.
"Shirayuki, is everything alright?" He asked, walked over to me. "I have been hearing you a cough so I come to check if you need anything.
"I'm fine." I lie. the truth is I want Zen but her is busy today when he gets up. Kai put his hand on my forehead.
"Shirayuki you are burning up," Kai said in a panic. "I need to get Zen," Kai said.
"No don't get him. He is asleep I don't want to worry him and he is busy today. It just a cough. I will be fine." I said.
"but you're forehead burning up," Kai said.
"The room is hot maybe that why." I lie, laying back down on the bed. "You can leave I will be okay," I said, close my eyes and heard the door close. I open my eyes again and saw the sun is coming up over the mountain. I swing my legs off the bed and try to stand up but I fell back on my bed.
"I'm so weak but I have to get ready to go to work," I said using all my strength to stand up and get dress. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said, looking out of the window.
The door open and walked in was Zen. "Good morning, beautiful." He said, moving my hair out of the way. He put his lips on my neck. "Shirayuki, are you okay you feel warm," Zen said, making me face him.
"I'm fine." I lie with a smile on my face. Zen give me a looked like he did not believe me. "I'm fine, Zen," I said with a little laugh. I grab his hand and walked out of the room.
"Shirayuki, stop I know you're not fine," Zen said, pulling me back and wrap his arms me. "You need to laid down," Zen said, pulling me back to my bedroom.
"Zen, I'm fine," I said. He opens the door and picks me up in his arms. He walked over to my bed and laid me down on the bed.
"You need to sleep. I take will take care of you." Zen said, cover me up with my blanket. "I will be right back." He said, standing up and walked out of my room. I close my eyes and sleep back to sleep.
I feel a wet rag on top of my forehead. *moan* I open my eyes and saw Zen. "Sorry did I woke you?" Zen asked, looking down at me.
"No, you didn't," I said letting out a cough.
"I make you some tea to help with your cold," Zen said, help me to sit up on the bed. Zen hand me the cup of tea.
"Thank you, Zen," I said, taking a sip of the tea.
"You don't need to thank me. It is my job." He said, looking at me. I hand him the tea back and he set it back down on the table. "Laid back down." He said, helping me to laid down.
"Thank you," I said, close my eyes and fell asleep.
