Felix pushed through the crowd and ran up to her and put her body beside his and placed her head on his arms and shook her.

Felix: Wake up! Wake up! Rheyna please.... Please wake up!

He yelled out to her but she wasn't responding. He checked her pulse but it was weak, it felt like it was even barely beating.

Felix: Draken! Look for the doctor! Now!

Draken nodded and left to look for the doctor. Felix was shaking her to wake her up, he looked at the other maids and servants who was in shock and confused.

Felix: Rheyna wake up... Please wake up...

He looked at his palm which was covered with her blood.

(Bedroom)

Felix was pacing around the room while keeping his hands on his hips while walking back and forth. Draken was standing on the door, while keeping his eyes on her.

Doctor: My King, she's okay now.

Felix let out a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Doctor: But I might say that, there are some bad news.

Felix: What is it? Is there any injuries?

Doctor: There are no injuries. Fortunately for her. The only injury here is her head. Which I might say is not that major but it is a bit serious since her head was hit by some kind of hard object, like a wine bottle. But luckily, not that major. And I must say that, there will be visible bruises in any part of her body since she fell down the stairs. She'll be feeling a lot of pain, especially on her back since that's where you saw her in an unconscious position which means she might've fell down the stairs and landed on her back. But no worries there are no fracture around her back and neck, but there is gonna be a big bruise around her back so i suggest you to take care of her very well and reduce the swelling by holding a cold compress. I will be leaving some painkillers for her as well. Make sure that she drinks it on the right time. Is that clear?

Felix: Yes. Thank you doctor.

Doctor: You're welcome my King. I will be going now.

Felix nodded and she bowed then left. Draken held the door open for her and she thanked him. Felix signed and watched her closely. He then looked at Draken's direction. Who was standing there with an unreadable face.

Felix: You're still here.

Draken: Yes.

Felix: Why? Do you need something?

Draken: No I don't but... Just wondering. Who would do this to her?

Felix: I have no idea. That's what I wanna know.

Draken: Do you think she might've fell down accidentally?

Felix: No that wouldn't make any sense because, look. She has an injury around her head that looked like it was purposely hit by someone. *Sigh* Someone did this to her. But who?

Draken: I have no idea I'm afraid.

Felix: *Sigh* Go ahead. Have a rest. It's almost night. You still have duty tomorrow.

Draken: As you wish my King.

Draken bowed and left the room. Leaving them both in silence. Felix sighed softly and laid down beside her.

Felix: Who would do this to you?

He asked himself. He shook his head and leaned his lips to her head.

Felix: Goodnight Rheyna.

He muttered under his breath. He signed and laid beside her while keeping her close to him. He closed his eyes to rest and relaxed. Soon sleep took over him.

(Middle of the night)

As he was sleeping peacefully, he didn't know that there was a man in black that was unrecognized. The man approached them both and the man leaned close to Rheyna. Felix sensed the sudden change of the aura of the night. It felt tensed so that's what made him wake up, but he pretended to sleep. Meanwhile the man was watching them both sleep peacefully. The man in black went over to Felix's side, he was on the end of the bed, the man took out his dagger and lifted it up. As the man was about to stab his stomach, a sudden noise stopped him making him turn around. But all he saw was just a crow on the balcony railing. Cocking it's head to the sides. The man sighed and rolled his eyes before turning back around but to his surprise.

Felix was no longer on the bed. Unbeknownst to the man, Felix was standing behind him. The man found out that Felix was awake this whole time, he also sensed that he was behind him. So in a flash, he turned around and tried to stab Felix. But Felix dodged and kicked him in the thigh and the man grunted in pain but kept swooshing his dagger in hopes that he will get hit. But Felix just easily just dodged and Felix punched him in the face and grabbed his hand that was holding the dagger, and he twisted his wrist that made the man grunt in pain and let go of the dagger. Felix grabbed the dagger that's on the floor and place it on there man's neck, threatening to kill him if he dares to move.

Felix: Dare to move, and I won't hesitate to slit your throat.

The man laughed under his mask.

Man: You... Really are the worst person living in this world.

Felix elbowed his neck and turned him around and throw him on the floor and got on top of him and place the dagger on his neck. Felix grabbed his mask and remove it. Revealing a face of a man who was panting heavily and that had a busted bleeding lip.

Felix: Who are you?

The man spat on the floor with blood and a mixed of saliva.

Man: Oops... I made the floor dirty.

Felix punched the man on the nose hard that made the man grunt in pain.

Felix: Looks like you and I need to talk but in a hard way.

He said and dragged the man outside the room.

(In the dungeon)

Skye and Draken sat the man on the chair who was struggling a lot but gets a hard punch every time. They chained him up.

Felix: Now! Care to speak?

Man: Screw you and your Kingdom!

The man yelled out but got a punch in the end.

Felix: Who sent you?

Man: Screw you!

Jonathan: You tell us who you are or I will-

Skye: Brother stop! Let Felix handle this....

Skye whispered to Jonathan.

Felix: Speak.

Man: I never will.

Felix: Mmm, so you want this the hard way eh? Draken!

Draken: My King?

Felix: Grab the tools.

Draken obeyed and went to grab the torturing tools. Felix and the man was looking at each other. Not tearing their eye contact. Felix grabbed the 'knuckles'. He put it on and balled his fists. He approached the man and punched him hard, the hard metal coming in contact with the man's face, and the hard metal tearing a bit of his skin open. When Felix was done, the man gagged out blood, Felix grabbed his collar. Inched their faces closer.

Felix: Who sent you here?! Tell me! Who sent you?!

Man: Our leader had sent me to kill you and your wife. It would've been successful if you only didn't wake up. You prick.

Felix punched him again harder this time.

Man: *Spits blood* You know... Leader said to not say this to anybody, especially to our enemies but, since you're going to kill me anyway... I'll say this now. The reason why my mission is to kill you and the Queen, is for the leader to have your throne and rule this place.

Felix: Really now? Who is that leader of yours?

Man: That's something you shouldn't know first. I am only giving you a hint. If I were you, I'd keep my eyes open. *Chuckles* If I don't want to lose my wife.

The man laughed.

Man: You are so pathetic. And so is your wife. Your wife is the most annoying, idiotic, and the most stupid woman in this world. To be honest, if I was the King, I'd rather wreck her in bed as much as I can-

Felix: HOW DARE YOU?!? YOU DO NOT SAY THAT!!! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO SAY THAT TO MY WIFE!!! YOU ARE JUST AN OUTSIDER!!! YOU PRICK!!!

He yelled while punching him hard making his face bleed. Blood started to trickle down his face and blood was coming down his nose and mouth. Draken had to stop him from going any further.

Felix: YOU BASTARD!!! TAKE THAT BACK!!!

Draken: Felix stop it!

Felix: LET ME GO!!! I'LL KILL THIS BASTARD!!!

Draken: FELIX STOP!!! CALM DOWN!!!

Man: Soon... You will see her, covered in her own blood. Who knows? What you saw now, when you saw her almost dead, barely even moving, blood everywhere around her face, be prepared. Because things will be worse than that. *Laughs*

Felix pried Draken's arms off around him and knocked the man unconscious.

Draken: Felix-

Felix: You shut your mouth!

Felix yelled out. He looked at the unconscious man.

Felix: Keep him locked up. Secure this place.

He said then left the dungeon. He ran to their room where Rheyna was peacefully sleeping. He opened the door and slammed it shut. He paced around the room angrily. How dare he say that? He doesn't have the rights to say that!

'That prick! I'm gonna kill that bastard! How dare he say that to my wife-wait... What did I say?'

He just realized what he said just now. He groaned and face palmed himself.

Felix: Why did I say that?

He asked himself. He doesn't even know why. His mind is struggling to keep up right now. He looked at her, and he approached her with slow steps. He watched her figure closely. Watched how her chest is rising up and down whenever she breathes. He smiled softly and caressed her cheeks. He leaned his forehead close to hers and closed his eyes. He could feel tears welling in his eyes. He doesn't wanna open them. Afraid that when he opens his eyes, this will all be a dream. He's scared. Not because of the man almost killing them both, he's scared that when she wakes up, she'll be different. He's used to her being a chubby and being bubbly. But he's not seeing that side anymore and he knows it's because of him. But God knows that he's trying to change. Keep the past aside first and change but every single time he sees her, bad things keeps coming back.

But when he saw her, unconscious, two times, something inside him told him to stop being such a cold man and help her. Help her. Those words are what he had kept hearing every time he sees her. That's why he wants to be away from her to make the chanting of the voices stop. But every time he leaves, bad things starts happening. Just like now. Keep her safe. Help her. Protect her.

Those annoying voices kept chanting making him go crazy. It's annoying him. But he knew that those words that kept chanting was for his wife's life. For his wife's good.

Felix: Wake up Rheyna.

He whispered. He looked at her before leaning in to kiss her soft and smooth lips. He just pecked her. Then he left her lips and laid beside her. He scooped her body closer to his.

Felix: I need you right now. I'm losing my mind.

He whispered to her. But she didn't respond. He closed his eyes and let the tears leave his eyes and fall into the pillow.

(Morning)

Felix woke up. His eyes were still closed but his arms were looking for some warmth. Not the blanket's warmth but for a person's warmth. His wife's warmth. His wife.... Wait... Where is she?! He opened his eyes instantly when he didn't feel her in the bed with him. He shot up awake and just as he predicted. She was gone. He looked around.

Felix: Rheyna?! Rheyna!

He got off the bed not bothering to fix it or grab his robe and just ran out of the room. He was frantically looking around. The maids saw him shirtless which made them blush. He saw Hailey walking so he ran up to her and grabbed her arm. When Hailey saw him she blushed.

Felix: Hailey! Where's Rheyna?!

Hailey: Wasn't she with you?

Felix: No she wasn't! If she's here with me I wouldn't have asked you so where is she?

Hailey: I think in the garden with-

Felix: Thank you!

He interrupted her cutting her words off and ran to the garden. She looked at him dumbfounded.

Hailey:...with Alex.

He ran to the garden and he finally saw her sitting in the garden bench. Felix signed in relief and was about to run up to her when he saw a man in an armor approach her. With a smile on his face. He doesn't know why that made his blood boil. But he called out to her nonetheless. Which them both look behind. Rheyna turned around and saw him running towards her. But what made her more shocked was when....

He threw himself on her. Wrapped his arms around her tightly. She was too shocked to even move. Her cute and big doe eyes were wide. But it also made her red, like a tomato. Felix didn't care if there was another person watching them both confusingly. 

Felix: Where were you? Do you know how worried I was?! Why would you leave like that?!

He asked but she couldn't answer him especially when he was ranting so much questions.

Felix: I was so worried I didn't even get to-mmph!

She covered his mouth.

Rheyna: I'm okay. Calm down okay? I'm fine. I just woke up a few minutes ago.

Felix was talking in her hand that was covering his mouth.

Rheyna: What?

Felix pointed to her hand that was covering his mouth.

Rheyna: Oh... Sorry.

Felix: Blagh! I said, don't ever do that again. How did you even get in here?

He asked softly. Before she could answer, he heard someone clearing a throat. Felix looked at the unknown man with a judging face. Felix pulled Rheyna close to him which made her bump into his chest.

Felix: Who are you?

Alex: *Clears throat* My name is Alex my King. It's nice to meet you-

Felix: What were you doing with my wife?

Alex: Uhh well-

Rheyna: Felix calm down. He just helped me come out here. I was having a hard time walking-

Felix: You could've asked me to do it!

Rheyna: Y-you were asleep.

Felix: I don't care!

Rheyna: I'm sorry.

She apologized cutely while looking down. Felix felt his heart leap out his chest. He tried so hard trying not to smile or squeal. The corner of his lips were twitching. He cleared his throat loudly.

Felix: Just... Don't scare me like that understand?

Rheyna nodded. Felix held her chin and inched closer.

Felix: Words.

Rheyna: Y-yes.

Felix: Good.

He carried her bridal style. Which made her squeal and hold tightly. Felix looked at her with a smirking and smug face. Rheyna looked at him with a flushed face. He wiggled his eyebrows which made her even more flustered. She whined softly and covered her face in the crook of his neck. He laughed for a bit but put on a straight face when he faced Alex.

Felix: Don't ever come near my wife again you hear me?

Alex: Yes my King.

Rheyna: Felix....

Felix turned around and began walking away. Everyone saw them including Hailey, Skye, Jonathan, Nathaniel and Draken which made their jaws drop. When Felix just walked passed them, they all began to squeal happily. Except for Draken of course but he does have a smile on his face. Anyway, he brought her to their room and he laid her in the bed gently. He grabbed the blanket and tucked her in which means that he inched closer to her without him realizing since he was busy tucking her. Rheyna looked down as she felt her cheeks getting warmer while he was tucking her in.

Rheyna: Felix-

Felix: Rheyna-

Both said at the same time and faced each other but that may have been a mistake. Because when they moved their heads to face each other, their lips accidentally touched which made their lips peck each other's lips. Both had a shocked reaction.  Their eyes widened just like an owls eyes. Blushes visible on their cheeks. Felix cleared his throat loudly, which made her snap out of her gaze.

Felix: Y-you were saying?

Rheyna: I uhh.... Want to take a bath.

Felix: Uhh, y-yeah sure. I'll prepare it for you.

Rheyna: T-thank y-you.

Felix nodded and left in a hurry. He opened the door and closed it and leaned on the door while face palming himself.

'What did I just do?! Gosh that  super embarrassing!'

He whined and stomped his feet childishly. He signed and paced around the bathroom and was fanning his face with his hands. But their lips felt good against each other-NO!!! Felix shook his head side to side childishly and pouted at the end. He sighed and just filled the bathtub with warm water. Felix signed heavily and went to the bedroom. She looked at him with a pink blush on her face.

Felix: Let's get you washed up.

She nodded and got out of the bed but when she stood up she felt a sharp pain on her back making her hiss in pain and fall back on the bed. Felix approached her and kneeled down in front her.

Felix: Are you okay? Where does it hurt?

Rheyna: In my back.

Felix: Don't move too much. You still have the bruise on your back. Here I'll carry you.

Rheyna: N-no I'm-I'm okay! I can walk on my own.

Felix: How? When you can't even stand properly without somebody's help?

Rheyna: Uhh-

Felix: Exactly. So stop resisting. I'll help you.

He scooped his arms under her legs and carried her bridal style. She clutched tightly on him. Then he proceeded to walk towards the bathroom. He placed her on the sink counter. Felix looked at her then at the bandage on her head. He clicked his tongue send caressed the bandage on her head.

Felix: Whoever did this to you, I swear I'll kill whoever did this.

Rheyna: I'm okay.

Felix: *Sigh* Can you undress yourself?

Rheyna: I-I think so-

Felix: Think so or definitely?

Rheyna: Umm... I can do this.

Felix: You sure?

Rheyna: Yeah-ahh...

She hissed when she felt pain shot through her shoulders. Felix moved her hair to the side and moved her dress down a little bit, revealing a big bruise.

Felix: It looks pretty bad. Does it hurt?

Rheyna nodded. Felix signed and began to unbutton her dress which she stopped.

Rheyna: What are you doing?

Felix: Undressing you?

Rheyna: I can do that myself-

Felix: Stop worrying. We've seen each other naked. It's okay. Hmm?

He spoke gently and softly. She hesitated she trusts him so she just nodded. Felix gently smiled making her heart squeal. His long slender fingers were unbuttoning her dress, his finger tips lingering around her skin. His cold fingers making her skin crawl but in a good way. When he was done unbuttoning them, he opened them wide. Then he moved them back revealing her chest and bruised collar bones.

Felix: Hold tight to me.

She did as told and leaned on him as she laid her head on his shoulder as he continued to undress her. His fingers and hands lingering around her back. He undid her dress and let them fall on the floor. She let out a shaky breath and clutched closer to him.

Felix: Let's get you in the tub.

She hummed and let him carry her and gently placed her in the tub. Felix then started to scrub her body. She looked at him and they both maintained eye contact. She was hypnotized by his golden orbs that was looking through her soul.

Rheyna: Why do you make me feel this way?

She asked. But she didn't get a response. Instead he responded with a shrug.

Felix: I guess we both feel the same way.

Both continued to look at each other's eyes before travelling down to their lips. It just looks so inviting. So plump. Rheyna didn't know what she into and leaned her lips to his, sealing their lips in a kiss. Felix was shocked, that's understandable. But slowly, he fluttered his eyes closed, and enjoyed the kiss. Rheyna pulled away, she realized what she had done and she looked down in shame.

Rheyna: Felix I-I... I'm sorry I didn't know what got into me-

Felix: Do it again.

Rheyna: What?

Felix: Kiss me.

Rheyna: Felix....

Felix: It's okay. I won't get mad. Kiss me again.

Rheyna
