Episode 5

At that moment when I felt the door open, I grabbed the emperor and pulled him on top of me. Being halfway bent, he lost his balance, ending up on top. I just closed my eyes, feeling as he rested his forehead against mine and whispered to me.

"You will owe me for several lifetimes, girl."

"Sorry, sorry, I swear I will work to make it up to you."

"I'll take your word, girl."

We hear the prince behind us.

"Uncle!"

"Please, prince, I told you your uncle was busy."

"Sorry, uncle, I needed to talk to you."

The emperor, without moving, being careful not to touch where I was hurt, answers with a terrifying voice that sent shivers down my spine.

"Nephew, I don't think you're blind. Your matters can wait. Gabriel, take him out of here. If anyone else comes in, you will lose your head."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, we hear the prince being dragged out. When the door closes, the man jumps and stands up again.

"Well, girl, how are you going to repay me?"

"Hmm... What does Your Majesty desire?"

"I have everything. What could I possibly want?"

"Hmm... If I could treat your illness, what would you do?"

"Are you just another charlatan or are you trying to take advantage of the rumors?"

"No, if you let me prove something, I just need your wrist for a few seconds. What do you have to lose? If I'm right, you'll be saved. If not, at least this beautiful girl got to touch your wrist."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Please, today was the most embarrassing day of my life. Not only did I muffle him, I hit him, threw him on top of me... I think I died at least three times. I have nothing to lose."

"The crazy girl behind my nephew wants to cure me?"

"One makes mistakes in life."

"Is my nephew your mistake?"

"I never liked your nephew, I only liked the title of heir princess. But I realized that there are things more valuable than a simple title."

"What matters most to you in this life?"

"My family, without a doubt."

"Well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Do it."

He sits next to me and extends his hand. I hold his wrist for a long time. As I thought...

"Well, I have good news and bad news."

"Tell me..."

"The good news is that the poison in your body can be cleansed."

"Poison?"

"Yes, you have a poison that is clearly evident that has been administered for a long time. I would still need to run a few tests with some of your blood, but it's a poison that if given in small doses over many years, one wouldn't even notice that they are being intoxicated. It causes dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, early death, and oh, problems down there..."

He points to his crotch.

"How dare you?!"

"Don't be angry, man. It has a solution. I was wondering why there was no reaction when having such a woman in your bed."

"The rumors don't do you justice."

"I didn't know that the emperor listened to rumors."

"Everything reaches my ears, which makes me wonder how you know about medicine."

"I studied it in secret, I'm smarter than I look."

"You don't say?"

"I was just pretending..."

"What's the downside then?"

"The treatment will be long, and even though I can start because the herbs needed are easy to find, the final part requires a weed that only grows in the mountains... I have to investigate where I can find it... For this reason, you will have to keep me close for the necessary time to treat you."

"How can I trust you?"

"You can't, but you helped me without hesitation... you know that I'm just a sweet lady..."

He looks at me with a raised eyebrow and makes a mocking face.

"Alright, sweet lady, let me see your abdomen."

"Hey, pervert."

"I want to make sure you're not too injured, and you know I can't do anything to you... if you die, who will try to cure me?"

"Fine, but give me some of your clothes to cover myself. This dress is too troublesome."

He goes to the closet and throws his clothes in my face - a pair of pants and a shirt.

"Change."

"Turn around."

"Fine."

While I struggled to take off the dress, which seemed impossible for me as I couldn't undo the back part, how on earth do they tie it so well...

"Hey girl, do you need help? I'm bored standing here.-"

As soon as I managed to untie those knots and lift it up, I let out a small scream, my ribs hurt... at that moment, he turned around and found me in my sexy lingerie, black lace.

"Don't look!-"

"Wow, speechless, you just leave me speechless.-"

"Turn around!-"

I threw my dress at him, it felt good to leave him speechless when he saw my body, I felt happy, but I wasn't going to show it.
