‘Evadne’s Point Of View’“Please help me!” the woman cried out.Kael opened the door and my heart sank.Standing there was a woman covered in blood from head to toe, a deep gash sat on her forehead.Her eyes widened as she saw Kael. She moved to bow but her body failed her. She swayed, but Kael caught her in an instant.I rushed to prepare the sedatives.“Please lay her on the cot,” I urged.He effortlessly picked her up, then laid her on the cot, blood staining the dark fabric of his tunic.“Sorry you have to get caught up in this,” I said to Kael.“It’s fine,” he replied.I walked over to her, antiseptic in one hand and a sedative in the other.“Can you hear me?” I asked in a whisper.She nodded faintly.Kael interjected. “What’s your name, and who did this to you?”His expression darkened.I had never seen such a look on his face. She swallowed. “My name is Mira… and my husband did this.” She hesitated, then went on. “This isn’t the first time, but today was a lot worse than usua

‘Kael’s Point Of View.’“This is what I could find,” Zekiel said, handing me a piece of paper.I read the details of the paper.-Full name: Evadne Beaumont.-Age: Twenty-four.-Village of birth: Crimson Vale.-Occupation: Formally trained as a healer in a dance school, treating injured and sick dancers. Transferred from Crimson Vale to Dawn’s Rest.-Family: Twin younger sisters, named Eva and Eira, both of age sixteen. Mother and Father are alive and well.“Beaumont, huh,” I muttered to myself.“If I may ask K…why are you so interested in her?”I looked up. “Because she’s unreal zeke.”Zekiel studied me. “That’s not an answer.”I exhaled. “Because she didn’t fear me and had the audacity to mock me. I find that intriguing. Plus I’ve never seen such… beauty.”He sighed. “Come on Kael, there’s so many ‘intriguing’ and beautiful women you can have brought to you. I’m sure you’re overreacting.”“Maybe if you stopped sleeping with everything in a skirt, you’d understand.”“Your loss, man.”

‘Evadne’s Point of View’Who did he think he was? Making me feel flustered like that. I didn’t need any stupid herbs, I just needed to get out of there. Never knew the prince was such a flirt.Calm down, Evadne. I stopped in my tracks.You’ll probably never see him again, right? Who was I kidding, the kingdom gates are literally the closest to this village, of course I’m going to see him again.But why was I feeling this way? Maybe it was something in the way he looked at me, or…Before I could gather my thoughts, the sound of hooves hitting the ground rang out once again. I hadn’t walked too far from the clinic so it was audible. His men were probably here to take him.I was about to go back before I remembered I hadn’t picked any herbs like I said I would. I didn’t really have time to choose, so I crouched down and blindly plucked a handful of some random leaves. Upon reaching there his men were already helping him to his carriage. He was wearing a coat now, as he was about to e

‘Evadne’s Point Of View’I got here three days ago, to this new village called Dawn’s Rest, to this new clinic. The patient rates had been relatively low today.It was currently 11PM and all I could hear was the sound of rain hitting the soil. No one would be coming again tonight, I thought to myself. As I got up to close the windows, that’s when I saw it. Torches.The sound of hooves hitting the ground suddenly became strong. Before I knew it someone was rushed in with an arrow sticking out of his lower chest. “Healer, healer, it’s an emergency!”“Lay him down on the cot,” I said, already rummaging for bandages. As I turned to face the patient, I immediately recognized him. Prince Kael.I had never seen him up close before, only in festivals and kingdom parades, although that night he looked so different. He looked… grey.“H-he stepped in and took an arrow for me while we were fending off intruders,” the youngest-looking soldier said, anxiously clutching a scabbard laced with r
