The Eight Princes of the Eri Kingdom
03. Cold War and Pain
시우민
"Are you okay, Elysia? But...what did that prince say to you?"
I was frozen in place by the overwhelming presence of Siu-min's older brother.
엘리시아
"That... I can't say."
시우민
"Why can't you speak? Speak now-"
I couldn't tell Siu-min Orabeoni what Eun-gi had said to me through his mouth. It was a promise between us, and Eun-gi was the prince of the Carat Kingdom, the enemy of our Eri Kingdom.
시우민
"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me right now, what did that prince say to you?"
엘리시아
"No, brother..."
시우민
"Do whatever you want. If you won't tell me what the prince said, then don't talk to me from now on. Do you understand?"
A cold war began between Siu-min and me. Just like when we couldn't communicate when we were kids.
Siu-min, the older brother, went into his room first, and the other older brothers gradually started to go into their rooms as well.
In the hallway, only Jongin, Sehun, and I were left.
카이
"Come to my room. I have something to tell you-"
At Kai's words, Sehun and I went into Kai's room together.
I was a little scared because I thought Kai and Sehun would get mad at me too.
카이
" are you okay? "
엘리시아
"Huh...? Yeah... It's okay-"
세훈
"Just tell us what Hong Eun-gi said to you. We're Hong Eun-gi's friends."
엘리시아
"He said he was sorry that this was all he could do for me... and that he would come see me next time..."
세훈
"Thank you for telling me-"
엘리시아
" huh... "
세훈
"Get some rest, you must have been scared and tired today - see you tomorrow."
엘리시아
"Yeah, bye-"
Fortunately, Sehun and Kai, unlike Xiumin's older brother, were worried about me and asked if I was okay.
카이
"Sleep in my room tonight. I don't think you can sleep alone tonight."
Kai told me to sleep in his room. I guess he said that because of what happened today.
Kai's point of view-)
After seeing Elicia sleeping, I also tried to fall asleep.
I woke up to a strange moaning sound while I was sleeping, and as soon as I woke up, I looked next to me and saw Elicia tossing and turning and moaning incomprehensibly.
As I got out of bed and approached her, I saw Elicia sweating and groaning in pain.
After seeing this, I immediately told Siu-min, Suho, and Baekhyun.
백현
"Elysia, are you in a lot of pain? Your brother is here, so please get up for a moment."
엘리시아
"Baekhyun, brother..."
Elicia barely managed to get up and immediately leaned against Baekhyun.
수호
"Tell me what the hell happened."
카이
"After that happened, I thought Elisia wouldn't be able to sleep alone, so I made her sleep in my room. But I heard her moaning while she was sleeping, so I woke up and Elisia was moaning. When I went closer, she was sweating coldly as if she was in pain, so I told my brothers..."
Elysia's point of view-)
When I opened my eyes while leaning on Baekhyun's older brother, there were Xiumin's older brother, Suho's older brother, and Baekhyun's older brother in Kai's room.
Siu-min, my older brother, came to me and tried to put his hand on my forehead, perhaps worried that I was sick.
시우민
"Are you okay... Elysia-"
I pushed away my brother Xiumin's hand that was trying to touch me.
I hated and resented the way my brother, who had told me not to talk to him during the day, acted like nothing happened.
엘리시아
"Don't touch it..."
시우민
" ......... "
엘리시아
"Suho, brother... I'm in so much pain. And I'm so scared... Sob..!"
수호
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid, my brother is here."
What happened during the day was scary, and I was also really scared of Siu-min, who got angry at me.
It hurts so much I can't even move my body.
So I closed my eyes again weakly.
시우민
"I will take care of Elicia, so put her on the bed in my room."
morning-)
When I woke up, my older brother Xiumin was sleeping next to me.
I woke up and looked around the room, but it wasn't Kai's room, it was Xiumin's older brother's room.
Siu-min opened his eyes after tossing and turning, and I lay down again and pretended to sleep.
시우민
"Phew, I know what happened. Get up quickly - but are you feeling okay?"
엘리시아
"It's okay - but why am I in your room?"
시우민
"I brought you here to take care of you. I feel so sorry for you-"
엘리시아
" ah.... "
시우민
"Elysia, since your brother won't be angry, can you tell me what Prince Shuaren said to you? I heard from Sehun that the prince is a good man."
The night before-)
Xiumin's point of view-)
After carefully laying Elicia down on my bed so she wouldn't wake up, I went out of the room for a moment to talk to my siblings.
수호
"Elysia, you'll be okay, right...?"
시우민
"It'll be okay. Don't worry too much. - Now that I think about it, you used to like me, but now it seems like Elysia likes you more."
수호
"No, I won't be the only one who likes it. If it's Elicia, she'll like us all."
세훈
"Xiumin hyung, I have something to tell you. Is now a good time?"
수호
"I'm fine, so go quickly."
시우민
"Oh, okay, thank you."
시우민
"But what do you have to say to me?"
세훈
"Brother, don't get angry at Elysia for no reason. Elysia also knows that our kingdom and the Carat Kingdom are enemies. That's probably why she couldn't tell you."
시우민
" ha..... "
I regretted getting angry at Elicia.
세훈
"You may not know this, but... Hong Eun-gi is Elysia's only friend. Of course, he's my friend too. Hong Eun-gi... no, Prince Shuaren is the kindest and most affectionate prince of all."
시우민
"......I was wrong."
I thought Prince Shuaren would be bad just because of the hostile relationship.
세훈
"So please don't be angry and speak gently to Elicia. That's why I called you, hyung, to tell you this."
시우민
" thanks. "
엘리시아
" ....Eun-gi said she was sorry that this was all she could do right now. And she said she would come see me later. "
시우민
"Thanks for letting me know."
엘리시아
" yes.... "
시우민
"I'm really sorry I got mad at you yesterday..."
엘리시아
".....No, I'm sorry for avoiding you too, Brother..."
시우민
"No, it's okay."
시우민
"Elysia, just know this one thing. This brother loves you very much too-"
