Looking in the mirror her eyes dropped to her legs ''They did everything they could to save your legs Nova'' One of the surviving maids stood at the door holding her head down.
Her eyes where puffy form crying all night. And as soon as the waterworks start, there was no stopping them until it run dry. Nova fell back onto the bed ''Get out'' ''Prin-- High Prince Kouen as asked me to stay in here with you''
''He is no high Prince! Know I said get out!'' The mirror creaked, the window shock when Nova rose her voice. Hissing in pain, the maid covered her bleeding ears ''I am sorry''
Koutoku made it clear to all of Kou that his sons will take the throne. If he heard any mention of them being lesser, he would kill them and their family. Nova knew it was going to be rough for the Kou Empire. They loved the first born prince's.
Even the maids where getting used to the idea of calling they High Prince's. The deep wound of Hakuyuu and Hakuren dying only two days ago, still stung
Nova's jaw shock in angry ''Ahhhhh!!!!'' Everything that didn't break before, shattered. The mirror fell down to fine dust. The vase of flowers next to her bed, broke letting the water flow down, onto the wood floors
Aki down the hall, stood outside Koumei door with Chuu'un ''Should we check on her?'' Chuu'un glanced over at her door, through his helmet ''You go. I'll guard, but make it quick''
''Okay'' She jogged over to the door ''Oh your here Aki'' Seishuu was about to walk into Nova's room ''I heard her scream'' ''Me and Shou En heard it too'' Aki held in a breath before opening her door with a key
''Get out!! get out!!'' Aki dodged the glass spinning towards her ''Nova, it's Aki and Seishuu!'' ''I don't care! Get out!!'' A price of glass stuck above Aki head. Seishuu pulled Aki out, before a bit of glass hit her ''And stay out you thifly, buyer of lives!!''
Seishuu nose crinkled up ''Buyer of lives?'' ''You heard me you, snake!! You buy people! People locked up by chain and ball!'' Nova slammed her arms on the door ''You're family is rich because of it!!'' ''WE got are money through the army--'' ''Lies!! I saw everything! I hear everything!'' If Aki haven't already looked the door, Nova would've stepped out of that room in a fit of angry
She punched the door more ''Let me out so I can beat some morals into you!!'' ''Nova that is enough! Clam down!''
''Fuck you! You stuck up good girl!'' Aki and Seishuu stepped away form eh door, bawling ''And what is happening in here?'' Emperor Koutoku wore the Emperor Robes Hakutoku wore days ago. They probably haven't even gone through the wash station
''Oh the all powerful Emperor is here to control another innocent girl'' Nova scoffed behind the door. Koutoku face shock in angry ''Open the door'' Aki didn't move ''I said open it!'' ''Ahaha! I was right! If you'll like your brother, she would've done it straight away. They're probably even bowing to you this every second!''
Nova snapped the door open, as soon as it unlocked ''You'' Nova giggled ''me'' Koutoku held his finger up ''Bow to me! Or I'll have you behead where you stand!'' Nova didn't move ''Nova'' Seishuu hissed ''Nova do it'' Koutoku didn't back down
''I am your Emperor! Bow to me!'' she gulped. All words leaving her mouth ''Hakutoku and his sons are dead! The line has passed to me!'' ''Why don't you seem sad?'' Nova let her head fall ''You seem so happy that they are dead... Maybe you are one the that ki--'' ''Nova!'' Kouen was coming back form a blacksmith holding a large wrapped up package when he called out
''Stand down'' With force wait of her household, she bowed to Emperor Koutoku ''Ever speak out to me girl, I'll have you killed on the spot'' she rolled her eyes. Waiting for his steps to leave to stand up
Kouen hit her across her burnt check ''Never do that again'' Nova mind rang back to the night, Hakuren slapped her in the same spot 'Listen to me! You are living with Hakuryuu! Save the Kou Empire!'
''He will kill you Nova'' ''it would be better than living'' that moment when her heart sunk beneath the water. They felt it. The darkness eating the Kou up, swallowed her whole. Her heart turned black. Eyes glazed over. Blood running cold
Kouen sighed, maybe he should've let her die. She would've been with everyone she loved. Everyone she had in her corner
''Arhhhh!!! Make it stop!!'' she screamed inside the tent. Kouen held his head in his hands, trying to block out Nova's cries of pain ''Prince Kouen'' A doctor walked out of the tent, with a grim face. His white clothes where covered in red blood
''How is she?'' Kouen perked up ''She is weak. Every... She's lost a lot of blood. I am shocked she is still screaming like how she is. But that is another matter. We must take her legs'' A lump formed in Kouen throat ''I don't understand how she lived through the fires, but her legs are the worst of her injuries. We cannot do anything for them''
''S-so, she's going to legless?'' ''No. We have a way to help her keep her legs'' ''How dose it work?'' The doctor sighed, pulling Kouen in closer so only he could hear ''The magi has offered to help... Outside of the colt''
Kouen thought for a long minute ''Do it'' The doctor stopped before walking in the tent ''For your wellbeing Prince Kouen, please move away and get some rest''
He should've let her go. Never took Judar's help. Let her Rest In Peace. Die like a warrior somewhat
