Chapter 45：Terrible Solution 

Lia almost choked on Prince Aerus' tears, when he bumped into her face and spilled tears on her face.  Tears flowed as if descending from a slippery plateau and then plunged into a valley.  It tasted salty, Lia freezes bitterly.

"You're going to run away with Neil, aren't you?  You never wanted our child.  Maybe you'll kill him."  Prince Aerus rubbed his face against Lia's face, making their noses look like they were bumping and almost dented.  Then Prince Aerus groaned, whimpering again.  His eyes were blind because his vision was so empty.  His hands were groping, even though he knew where Lia was.

A kiss landed on Lia's lips, cupped her gently, and then released her due to the weak force.  Prince Aerus' face lowered, falling on Lia's chest.  After a while, he looked up again, traced Lia's body like he was blind, and then found a soft edge.  Prince Aerus dropped his lips there, enjoying Lia in an incomplete awareness.

Lia didn't make many moves.  She desperately wanted to push Prince Aerus, for his impudent actions, even at Cindy's home.  However, when she found out how messed up he was, Lia held herself back for a little while longer.

In a normal kiss, Lia would smack Prince Aerus' chest, because he was exploring too harshly and forcefully.  His tongue would tear everything apart, snatching everything Lia had until she almost suffocated and fainted.  At the end of their kiss, it was Lia who would be panting heavily, as if she had just lost her precious lung.

But this time it was different.  Lia just seemed to get a soft touch on her lips, like when lipstick brushed her lips, only deeper than that.  The sound of kisses didn't stop ringing, Prince Aerus was quite excited despite his weak body.

"See, you never kiss my lips back.  You never.  But when you kissed Neil…"

Lia glared.  Had she kissed Neil?  When?

"You're bad!  You bad girl!"  Prince Aerus hit Lia's head, lending a hand in the wrong place causing him to hit the void.  So he was like a child reaching for something far away, whining and very spoiled.  The only difference, Prince Aerus looked very weak and also very pale.

"Stop babbling!"  cried Lia. She wrapped her arms around Prince Aerus' body so that he wouldn't fall.  Now and then she glanced at Cindy and deliberately called the chubby-faced girl's name.  No response.  Lia was relieved.

"Let's go to the Elipsis plane now.  You can make a mess here!  Prince Aerus? Wake up!"  Lia shook Prince Aerus' body, feeling several stings on her skin, especially on her skin of neck, the place where Prince Aerus leaned his face.  "You can infect me if you keep this up.  Your temperature is extreme.  Come on, hurry!  We have to meet with Hamdi soon."

No answer.  Several times before that it was.  Lia would wait for a while, dragging her tormented breath, during Prince Aerus' body which was completely boiling.  Or it looked like Lia was supporting his body.

For a long time, there was only silence.  The sound of the heating machine was faintly audible.  Lia glanced at the conventional style wall clock, which was put in not far from her lying down.  The time was two o'clock in the morning. She was already very sleepy but still had to lie down to take care of a big baby.

When her eyes were drooping from uncontrollable drowsiness, suddenly a rush of cold and hot air hit her neck.  The frostiness was almost like a frozen sea of ​​ice, and the sweep of heat was almost like the flames of a hellhole.

Lia gasped, very surprised.  Confusion and moaning.  As the freezing wind brushed against her, she awoke.  When the transition became very fast, Lia frowned as if she felt her skin burning.

"What did you do to me?"  When Lia's hand touched Prince Aerus's head, she finally knew that all the extreme near-deadly changes came from Prince Aerus' body.

Prince Aerus' complexion turned extremely pale, almost white.  All of them were pitiful, with their faces drooping helplessly.  His hand grip on Lia's body had loosened, he was completely unconscious, or maybe dying.

Flustered, Lia's heart was beating very fast.  Her head was probably pounding from feeling confused. She tried her best to make Prince Aerus come to his senses, but it was no use.

Feeling hopeless, Lia almost woke Cindy up to ask her for help.  Maybe Lia would ask Cindy to help her carry Prince Aerus to the front of the gate, waiting for a taxi to take them home.  Hamdi must be around Lia's flat.  And the pilot was the only hope there was.

Lia's hand was outstretched.  Her movements were difficult because of the weight of Prince Aerus' body, which was very heavy, amid extreme temperature changes.  Like something stabbing Lia's bone, she winced repeatedly.

However, before her fingertips touched Cindy's body, someone suddenly appeared.  Lia's face became complicated, and she was difficult to decipher in detail.

"Hamdi, Prince Aerus fainted."  Tears rolled down Lia's cheeks, wetting down to the pajamas she was wearing, which she had borrowed from Cindy.

"What happened?"  asked Hamdi.  His voice trembled, muffled.  It was as if there was a thin line that crippled Hamdi's voice to make it flat and very fragile.

Lia didn't fully understand why.  But maybe because Hamdi had to face the consequences if later Prince Aerus died while with him.  "I do not know.  Suddenly his body was on top of mine when I woke up.  I thought he was a thief or a bad guy.  He started rambling and had a fever and was shivering all the time."

Hamdi tiptoed slowly, positioning the body of Prince Aerus on his shoulder.  His irises that looked even paler now widened.  He tried to find something but chose to hold it in first.

"Come on, you have to come along, Lia.  I'll need your help later."

"What… don't you have any medicine?  You can teleport too, right?  You can bring him back to your planet.  I can't just leave my friend. She is going to be surprised if she finds out I'm not in bed when she wakes up."

For the first time, during their meeting which was flat and filled with mixed impressions, but tended to be kind, Hamdi finally looked fiercely at Lia.  The curt look also radiated very clearly, with the nostrils that bloomed due to burning emotions.  Hamdi's pupils, which had always looked soft and golden in color, were now starting to be enveloped in a splash of red, almost spreading and barking.

"If you don't come, then Prince Aerus will die.  You will be able to cause the greatest disaster on a planet, even an entire galaxy."  Hamdi's threat did not seem to be a joke.  Thin waves filled his body, like blue flames.

Lia had never seen such a thing before. She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be gagged from being too scared.
