4 Chapter Four

The illness was acting up faster than normal , she fell down to the marble floor wrapping her arms around her self in a state of shock and despair.

Her mother was not her mother...who was she?

Blood trailed down her pretty lips to her chin from biting too hard. When a tall shadow covered her figure she could only squint her eyes to see him.

"Masamune?" Her bell like voice became small as her eyelids shut, her brows furrowed.

Masamune gently carried her back to their room, setting her on the bed. The temperature around her was incredibly chilling, even he who was not bothered by the arctic regions frigid temperatures finds. This time he did not dare to leave her alone, even more so when she was clutching the hem of his clothing so strongly.

He did not like seeing her this way, she was meant to be arrogant and aloof. Her usually ruthless glare was dull, her already transparent skin turned pale.

Kagura was used to the pain and suppressed her anguish, the biting cold making her temperature that of a dead person.

Kagura could only shift towards the only warmth she could feel, unknowingly bringing herself into the mans wide chest.

Masamune reluctantly put his long arms around her bringing her closer to his chest. His heart was ill at ease.

The following morning she was still asleep, his fingers smoothened out her furrowed brows. The light frown on her lip, made his heart ache.

He waited for the divine doctor to check her condition. When the doctors words reached his ears he smashed the table beside him in frustration.

The loud noise made the woman's frown deepen, Masamune immediately calmed his frustrated heart. He led the doctor out of the chambers and asked if he knew anyone that could cure her illness.

At this moment the doctor could see this so called demonic king also had a heart, his eyes were red from suppressing his frustration, his hands by his side began to bleed from clenching his fists tightly.

The doctor was moved by his affections for his wife, however he did not have any methods of curing the illness but there was a immortal doctor with the capability to cure her, however trying to convince the old man to cure his wife will be the most difficult part not even the emperors could force the old man if he did not want to.

Masamune didn't care, whatever the old man wanted he would get it. He was grateful to the old doctor, treating the doctor with new found respect. The doctor was a very accomplished one, upright and skilled.

Kagura only had a few months, otherwise without a cure she really would leave him (die).
