"What did you say?" He asked.

He felt like his veins will burst from the anger that was arising within him. How could the duke do that without consulting him?!

"The Duke made the right choice. It's already over Your Majesty." She said

Nicholas' head was filled with murderous thoughts. He wanted to release this anger. Everything's not going according to his plans.

He's about to lose her. A voice inside his head keeps saying that he's going to loose her forever. His head is full of those thoughts. And he's scared. He's scared to death. It feels like someone was squeezing his heart making him unable to breathe. If it's going to be like that then, might as well die with her.

He moves closer to her bedroom. His body feels like it has its own mind. Just a simple touch of her, he'll get infected by the disease.

Alarice looked at him with horror. She slowly shakes her head while looking at his dead cold eyes. She doesn't know why but the Emperor was acting strange. She doesn't know what he's thinking but she knows it is not good.

"Stay away from me Nicholas." She firmly ordered.

Tears suddenly fell from his dead cold eyes.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she shouted. The Emperor just continued walking slowly towards her.

She tries to move away from him.

"CONSTANCE! GET THE EMPEROR AWAY FROM ME! HURRY!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.

The knights outside her room barge in and hold the Emperor.

"No! No! Why are you stopping me?!" He shouted like a mad man.

"Empress' order. Do not let him near my palace unless I say so." She said

"But Your Majesty he is our Empe-"

She cut off Constance.

"He gave me the sole sovereignty  of my servants in my palace. I am your master! He might be the Emperor but you, the servants of the Moon Palace is under my direct authority." She said

They drag the Emperor towards his quarters and the doctors inject him drugs so he can calm down and sleep. Alarice  sighed.

She looked at her hands with the purple rashes.

"I'm going to die, aren't I?" She mumbled .

"Please don't say that. We'll do our best to cure you Your Majesty." Constance said with worried expression

"It's funny how I can cure the others while I cannot cure myself. The spirits must still be angry at me for marrying to another country despite their protests. But what can I do? I fell in love with the country and I found my purpose in life when I saw those poor people."

And he was also here... She almost blurted out but keep the last one to herself.

She smiled bitterly. I guess this is the end. I just feel bad that my parents are not beside me.

Alarice already died once. She may have died once but strangely she feel scared. She's really really scared.

"Please leave me alone. I want to rest." She said.

Nicholas frequently visited the Alarice but she never once let him in. She even sealed her windows so he can't go inside.

He feels like he's going to loose his mind.

"Your Majesty? Aren't you going to eat?" Qashanna asked as she held his hand on the table gently. They were having a little celebration from hee recovery.
