When night falls. The sky was filled with clouds and lightning. Heavy rain could be heard from outside the castle of Argaint Kingdom. Among the sounds of heavy rain, there can be heard the sound of groaning in pain that is unbearable from a room. That is Princess Aishia's room.

In that room, there is only Princess Aishia and her loyal maid, Siesta. She is 7 years older than Princess Aishia. Her body was shorter than Princess Aishia. With short black hair, she looks beautiful in her maid's clothes.

"Princess are you sure you're okay? You look in a lot of pain this time. At times like this, the King and Queen go on a visit to the Rubelia Kingdom." Siesta was worried about Princess Aishia's condition.

.

"I'm fine, you know that I'm used to things like this. Otou-sama and Okaa-sama are doing important things for the affairs of this kingdom. So there's no need to bother them with a trivial thing like this." Princess Aishia calmed him down with a smile.

"But princess your current condition..." Siesta still looks anxious about her condition.

"I'm fine. If I look in pain and seen by Elise. She will be sad and worried. I just have to hold it as usual." He reassured Siesta with a sad face.

Princess Aishia's voice sounded very slow. Accompanied by a voice she gritted her teeth holding back unbearable pain. Siesta who saw her could only shed tears.

"Princess you have to fight and must recover as soon as possible. So you won't make Princess Elise sad and worried." Siesta encouraged Princess Aishia who was in pain.

"I want to be like that too. But you know even the Royal Mage can't do anything with my body condition. It has to do with the constitution of my body. They said they would buy time so that my illness wouldn't get worse. Find the best solution to treat it. It's been five years since I've been like this. And they still haven't found any solution." Princess Aishia said while enduring her pain. Involuntarily tears were dripping from her beautiful eyes.

"Princess, you can't lose hope.. I'm sure they'll find a solution. You have to survive until then. And from now on you can't use any magic. Whenever you use magic, your condition gets worse." Siesta didn't accept what Princess Aishia said.

"I understand siesta, even so, I still want to become a great mage. Thank you for taking care of me all this time." Princess Aishia replied with a sad smile.

"You don't have to thank me, Princess. That's my duty." Siesta sobbing and tightly grasping Princess Aishia's hand. Princess Aishia just smiled softly when she heard the word of siesta.

"Siesta, It's midnight. Go back to your room. You also need to rest. You look so tired." Princess Aishia was anxious to see Siesta's face.

"No, I'll accompany you here until you feel better." Siesta stubbornly rejected her.

"I'm feeling better, so you can rest. I want to be alone now and sleep." Princess Aishia tries to convince Siesta.

"Really?" Siesta still couldn't believe her words.

"Of course it's true. So you can go back to your room and rest now." Princess Aishia again convinced Siesta seriously.

"Okay then. May you get well soon Princess, Good night. I went back to my room first. Tomorrow morning I'll be back." Siesta could only obey the word kats Princess Aishia.

"All right." Princess Aishia nodded at Siesta's words.

Siesta was still reluctant to leave Princess Aishia with such conditions. But seeing Princess Aishia's smile. She could only follow her orders and leave the room.

After the door of the room is closed. Princess Aishia could only continue to groaning in pain. You can imagine the unbearable pain she felt from her groaning voice. Suddenly there was a male voice that should not be in the women's room at night.

"If you feel pain like that. Why did you tell your maid to leave you Princess Aishia?"

Princess Aishia's body trembled slightly when she heard the man's voice. She didn't know how the man arrived in her room without she is noticing.

"Ziel... Is that you? What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night? Isn't it disrespectful to enter a woman's room without permission in the middle of the night?" Princess Aishia asked with complicated feelings.

From Princess Aishia's voice, he could feel confused, scared, and angry. Ziel could only sigh heavily hearing it. Confused because she didn't know what Ziel's purpose was, afraid because Ziel entered without him noticing, angry that Ziel entered her room without permission.

"You better not much speak in your condition like that Princess Aishia. You're going to make your condition worse. And I'm not here to do evil to you. So you better calm your mind. And if you ask me how I got in. Of course through the door. I just made myself invisible. And give a little illusion to the guards in front of your room." Ziel calms her down.

Princess Aishia looked towards Ziel. She didn't know how his expression because he was wearing a mask. They both remained silent for a long time. Finally, It was Princess Aishia who broke the silence.

"Haah... So what do you want?" Princess Aishia sighed questioning Ziel's purpose.

"I first begged for your forgiveness for entering your room without your permission Princess. But if I don't do it in secret. I will be suspected when coming to your room in the middle of the night." Ziel did not immediately say his intention but apologized to Princess Aishia.

"I forgive you. So what is your purpose for coming here?" Princess Aishia immediately forgave him.

"Princess Elise has been acting strange all day. She became more reserved and gloomy. She looks sad. That's very difficult for my job. And I know the reason why she's like that because of your condition Princess Aishia." He explained his purpose to her.

"So in the end I made her sad." Princess Aishia muttered sadly.

Ziel just silently saw Princess Aishia blaming herself. He saw Princess Aishia begin to shed tears. He doesn't know because of her sister or because of the pain she feels.

"I think it's natural for Princess Elise to be sad. Seeing her sister's condition in such pain. And...you can die at any time." Ziel said it honestly.

Hearing it the body of Princess Aishia trembled. Fear adorns her beautiful pale face. Then she looked directly at ziel's face that covered by a mask.

"What do you mean I can die at any time? Even the Royal Mage said I still had a year. How do you know about that?" Princess Aishia couldn't believe what Ziel said.

Ziel could only be silent to see Princess Aishia's face and sighing heavily.

"So it seems like you don't understand the true condition of your body." Ziel shook his head.

"What are you talking about? Do you know what happened to me? No... impossible. Even the Royal Mage don't know my true condition." Princess Aishia said in a rather high tone.

Princess Aishia saw a glimmer of hope when she heard Ziel's explanation. But she immediately dispelled that hope. How could a child at the same age as her be better than a royal mage?

"It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But what if I said I could cure your condition?" Ziel didn't care what Princess Aishia thought.

"What??"

Princess Aishia was only dumbfounded at what Ziel said.
