His Witch Queen-Chapter 163: Little time!

In the daytime, Alice had rested as per what Cyrus and other members told to her. She didn’t want herself to be exhausted at night while taking care of her brother.

As the night came very soon, Alice got up and straightaway ran into her brother. There, she saw the priest.

He had given her the responsibility for the entire night. Moreover, with her was his personal keeper who can assist her if anything else is required.

She was relieved and bid him goodbye with a beautiful smile. Since Prince Dominic wasn’t in any good condition, the priest was made to stay near the castle so that he could be called anytime soon if necessary.

Alice sat beside her unconscious brother. She dipped the cloth inside the cold water and then squeezed it. With that, she applied the same cloth on his forehead and pressed it there. Alice repeated the process many times, where the counting had already left the figures.

But to her surprise, she heard footsteps inside the chamber. Turning her face back, Alice’s eyes fell on her husband,"What are you doing here at this hour? Shouldn’t you be asleep?"

"I thought of accompanying you. You have decided to stay awake, so why not me with you." His sweet gesture was welcomed by Alice.

She didn’t revoke or asked him to revert back to their chamber. ’His presence is better than a simple and lonely night.’ However, Alice had no idea what this night holds for her.

They have arrived just now, and Alice could see Cyrus getting comfortable with a few people. However, his chances of accepting the circumstances were better than hers.

Alice didn’t stop her process and was still keeping the cloth on Dominic’s forehead. From his side, she felt no movement and this was disheartening too. But seeing her doing the work, Cyrus took one of the seats on the couch. From his angel, there was a straight view of Dominic as well as his sister.

His eye didn’t go unnoticed to see the care she did. "You and he are very close."

"We have been closed since I was born. He isn’t only a big brother but also, sometimes a mother figure." Alice smiled while narrating. "We both act as each other’s mother whenever needed. Each one of us has each other’s back."

"I can see the love between you both already," Cyrus commented and this graced Alice’s lips with a smile. But Cyrus’s eyes searched to grow more curiously, "Your mother must have been really happy to see you both like this. So close bonding. At least, at the end of the day, you both know that even if the entire world betrays you, your brother will never do so."

Hearing this from Cyrus’s mouth made Alice’s hand stop in the mid-air. She understood the meaning differently from his point of view. Alice resumed her task, but her mind did capture the unhappy tone in his words. "We have to be like this. We both understood how cruel the world can be at a very young age."

"At the end of the day, when the enemies are budding under your own roof, you need one person whom you can share your life with," Alice replied back, trying not to boost her bonding anymore.

Cyrus was a single hick and his pink was much worse. He knew that in the world there is no one blood related to him. The only person whom he is going to fight with is King Almen, the only blood kind of relation who also betrayed his father.

The irony was worse than one can imagine.

While the keeper had sat on the corner, doing his own work with herbs.

However, in the middle of their conversation, Alice felt some sensation beside her dress. She moved her eyes, finding that it was Dominic’s which is near her dress. ’Why did I feel that his finger moved?’ She was extremely doubtful.

Immediately lifting her chin, she noted how a deep brown curved on Prince Dominic’s forehead, he was trying to fight something within his dream. She instantly grabbed his hand to pass him strong energy.

Even sensing the absence of a reply from Alice to his question, he noted how serious she turned. She was suddenly holding Dominic’s hand with much force, which made him lift on his toes and it walked closer to the bed. "Is he responding?"

"I think so."

The keeper also did their side and kept his eyes focused on the young Prince. They saw the frown getting deeper with time, but it didn’t fade. Yet, in the middle, the lips of Prince Dominic parted. A sigh escaped from his lips which gave three of them a shock.

"H-He is waking up!! He is waking up!" Alice shouted, with her eyes bulging out. She turned her face towards the keeper, "Call the priest right here immediately. Bring him here!!"

"I will, princess!" The keeper ran out of the chamber at lightning speed. Whereas, Alice stayed beside her brother with all the mighty cause and tried to help him in opening his eyes.

She saw his restlessness, how sweat had covered his entire body, he was pale, trembling and this caused her worry to increase, "Dominic....please brother..open your eyes..please, for your sister?"

As if her words carried magic in them, she saw him opening his eyelids for a few seconds and blinking them more than required. A tired relief washed through her entire self, with her shoulders getting relaxed. "T-thank God..you’re awake.."

"W-what ... are..you..doing here?" This was the question Dominic asked upon seeing her presence.

Alice caressed his hair and face with her soft hair, "Can’t I come to my own Kingdom?"

"Y-You can..." Dominic responded with a rather slow voice. But it was auditable of both of them. They noted how weak he was right now.

But it didn’t stop Alice from saying, "Let the priest see and once check you. Afterward, we both will talk for an endless time..alright?"

"NO!" Suddenly, a sharp reply from DOMINIC removed Alice’s perfect smile. "Why?"

"B-Be-because...I..I don’t...have enough time left..Alice.."
