The Cursed Heart | BTS Fantasy AU [EDITING]

Chapter 25: The Unknown

"Elira!" Prince Jivan held onto Princess Elira's unconscious body.

I watch as he carries her body towards the castle. Making sure the invisibility cloak was in place, I quietly follow him inside.

The castle guards instantly open the doors, their faces shocked to see Princess Elira in Prince Jivan's arms.

"Get Wish-Altha right now!" Jivan says and one of the guards nods and runs inside going to a hall at my right.

I was walking by Jivan while he looks at Elira's face as he walks up the staircase.

I wish he would look at me like that, but if he ever found out that I was the cause of Elira's curse, he would never forgive me. But then, none of them remember me.

Princess Elira was pale and her breathing was low. The curse was affecting her more than usual.

I've been watching Princess Elira for the past week since I shot her with the dart. Princess Elira wasn't supposed to be alive after that, but after witnessing Ninurta's magic, it was unbelievable. Chad has been keeping Ninurta's magic in effect, but I knew it was faltering. Even so, I still wanted to see the capability of the curse's power. It was the first time that anyone survived Mavetamulor, since Queen Alina. It hurt me to see Princess Elira struggling, because of me, but I couldn't defy her.

Prince Jivan turns to a right when we reached the top of the staircase. He walks and turns to the left, walking into a big room.

There was a bed at the center a desk at the far right, piled with paper. Above the desk, there was a painting of Prince Jivan, Prince Tristan, Princess Elira and Chad when they were young.

I walk towards the desk to see the papers, and they were poems. All addressed to Princess Elira.

"Prince Jivan, what happened?" I turn my head to see a woman dressed in all white, walking towards Princess Elira.

"We were sparring in the training grounds and she fainted," Prince Jivan said looking at the woman, "Wise-Altha, do you know what's wrong?" she must be the castle's wise-woman.

(A/N: wise-woman/man are like doctors, they're elves who specialized in healing magic, they're usually from Stigary. We could address Ninurta as Elira's wise-man by calling him Wise-Ninurta, but his proper title is Prince Ninurta of Stigary.)

She held Princess Elira's hand and Princess Elira's body glowed.

"Prince Jivan, did Princess Elira show any signs of being weak when you saw her?" Wise-Altha asked.

Prince Jivan shakes his head, "No, she was perfectly fine."

"Who takes care of Princess Elira, in Euria?" Wise-Altha continues to use her magic. Then she made a look, she felt it. The dark and cold, feeling from the curse.

"Prince Ninurta of Stigary," Prince Jivan said.

"Call him at once," he nodded.

"What's wrong?"

"She's fine, I just need to talk to Prince Ninurta," Wise-Altha said.

"I leave her in your care," Prince Jivan said and walked out.

Wise-Altha closed the bedroom door and the windows as well. She then put a seal on the door and windows.

"You can show yourself now," Wise-Altha says.

Is she talking me?

She was looking straight at me and I was sure I had a cloak on, "If you don't show yourself, I'll call the castle guards."
