Her Poison His cure: Behind The Mask

BUYEO PALACE.

Queen chamber.

“Arghhhhh!”

A desperate feminine voice cried out from inside the room.

A man is seen pacing up and down outside the room nervously. Beside him is a small little boy who cringes at the loud cry he hears from inside the room.

“Father!” The young boy called tugging at his robe.

An adorable young boy. he looked to be around ten or eleven year of age, and he was dressed up in a white long mid- knee shirt and golden trouser, with a long golden robe on top of the shirt, coupled with a pair of matching leather shoe. he was the very picture of a little gentleman or more accurate, a young boy of royalty.

The king crouched down next to his height and took his hand in his own Patting it slowly.

“Go back to your chamber” he ordered, looking at him closely.

“When will she give birth?” the young prince asked.

The king shrugged his shoulders slightly “we don’t know yet?”

“Why is mother in such pain? “he asked innocently, his dark brown eyes borne into his father’s own.

“Whenever babies are about to be born, all the mothers in the world go through the same pain,”

The king explained, and took his hand into the little prince’s hair, using his finger to brush his hair sideways.

He placed his hand on his chest “will it happen to me, too?”

The king laughed lightly “No, but it will happen to your wife”

His eyes suddenly lit up like a child who has just been offered a candy “My wife?”

The king laughed again seeing the expression on his son’s face. “Yes, the prettier your child will be, the more pain you’ll feel”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Seeing how much pain she’s feeling, it must be a very pretty child. “he quizzed, and his father nodded.

An abrupt and loud cry pulls them out of their talk.

“Arghhhhh” it was coming from inside the room.

“Hurriedly. Take the prince to his chamber” The king ordered facing the maid that was beside the door.

“Yes your majesty” The maid bow courteously before leading the prince away.

….

In the delivery room, the queen sweat had soaked through the bedsheets as she clutched the protective clothes that were hanging on either side of her. The clothes were tied on the rail of the ceiling before dropping down to the bed level.

On either side of the bed are one maid each, making three if the midwife is included who is kneeling in the middle of her leg.

Her hold on the clothes tightened. her knuckle turning white. “Argh! it hurts!” She cried while enduring the Pain that tore through her abdomen.

“You are doing well Your highness, keep pushing harder” the mid-wife encouraged.

The heaviness she is feeling on her pelvic keeps increasing every passing second. her heart was raising heavily as she closed her eyes and groaned forcefully. she gasped as she opened her eyes, and bursted into tears knowing that what she was pushing was still not out.

One of the maids wiped the bead of sweat that gathered on her forehead with a towel and the other removed the clothes that were put in her mouth as it seemed wet with saliva, replacing it with a new one.

“I’m tired” she cried out piteously protesting against the searing pain that shook her whole body, but the pain didn’t show any sign of stopping as she continues to groaned in pain

The midwife smiled lightly at her “You need to go on, Your highness. it’s dangerous to stop at this moment” she said

She folded her lip and let out another another push “Mmmmhhh” the heavy weight instantly moved to the entrance of her Vagina like it wanted to burst it open

“keep pushing harder. I can see the baby’s head….”

“Arghhhhh ” she let out a frightening scream at the strange feeling. her hold on the clothes tightened. hot tears streamed past her cheeks uncontrollably

“it’s the head come on” the midwife urged.

She used the intensity of the pain and heaviness to push the baby out and just as if a round ball had been fixed into her. it pooped out of her Vagina, and the next thing that followed was a loud gasp from her, holding her breath.

Silence….

“Wah___” a loud baby’s cry resounded in the deadly silent delivery room, heralding the birth of a new life

The midwife handed over the little baby to the maids, and they moved over to the other side of the room to take care of the baby. They wiped her body with a wet towel, cleaned off the blood on her body and wrapped her in a pink blanket.

The midwife on the other hand is cleaning off the blood on the queen’s body and clothes. After she is done. the maid gently place the baby in the cot beside the queen

The midwife moved closer to the door.

“Your majesty. It is a little princess” she announced from inside the room and immediately the door burst opened, and the king rushed in.

The maids and the midwife bowed their heads,”Congratulations Your majesty” they chorused, and moved to the other side of the room.

He moved closer to the queen who was laying ashen-face on the bed, so weak and drained that she couldn’t lift a finger.

” You’ve done well My Queen,” he complimented her, and she smiled weakly.

He picks up the tiny baby from the cot, holding her in his hand and smiles happily. The overwhelming joy that hits a person when they are confronted with happiness is something you can’t really understand unless you experience it.

it affects people differently and that’s exactly what he is feeling at the moment

After a few seconds of accessing the newborn princess. he place her back in the cot and turned his full attention back to the queen

He tugged a strand of hair that was scattered on her forehead behind the rest, and took her hand in his Patting it slowly.

“Thank you very much My queen for giving us this little bundle of joy” he strokes her hair gently and smiles.

“It was all Your majesty immeasurable grace” the queen whispered softly

Suddenly the door burst open revealing the young prince

“Mother” he called smiling, displaying a perfect set of pearly- white baby teeth

The queen’s eyes lit up. “It’s my little prince,” she tried standing up, opening her arm to embrace her son, but the king immediately restrained her back. “You are too tired to get up so rest back” he said and laid her head back on the pillow. He turned to face the prince. “So hyun” he called

“Yes Father” he replied dreary. he must be angry his father has stop his mother from hugging him

The king noticed his Moody face and sighed deeply “Your mother is still weak. she doesn’t have the strength to get up yet, try to understand her.”

“Yes Father” he replied, his gaze fixed wholly on the little princess wrapped in her yellow blanket. the king trace his gaze and it land on the princess sleeping peacefully

“So hyun, you now have a little sister” the king said looking closely at the prince whose gaze is still on the princess

His gaze melt into softness as he jab a finger toward the little princess though gently “little sister?” he asked

The king nodded” You are her elder brother. you must always protect her”

There was a childish gleam in his dark brown eyes as he stared at the princess like he was accessing her “Mother I now have a little sister to protect,” he said proudly that it is hard to believe a ten year old boy will says that

The queen laughed lightly nodding her head

“Is she sleeping already?” the young prince asked, staring at the cute being in her cot.

“I don’t think so,” the king replied with a smile.

“But her eyes are closed”

“Yeah. all babies are born blind”

Placing his hand on his chin. There was a short silence as the prince wondered about that fact.

The queen smiled seeing the look on her son’s face.

He lifted a finger to the baby pink lip, and touched it. it was so soft, and tiny “Father is right, the prettier your child the more pain you feel. now look at how beautiful she is” the prince added touching the tip of the princess nose.

The queen and the king exchange a glance smiling, warmth surged through their eyes as they stare at their son in a gentle gratitude.

“My wife has to to undergo a lot of pain too, in order to give birth to a very beautiful child” he said dreamily

The king laughed loudly at his words, while the maid and midwife smiled happily where they stood. They all knew the young prince to always be inquisitive.

…..

A strong wind started blowing vigorously causing the maid outside running about in a great despair, stumbling and falling, stomping and fighting for a way to survive the raging wind.

Tree swayed furiously, causing a disastrous whirlwind. It’s very obvious something unpredictable is happening.

Suddenly a golden butterfly appeared and flew around the palace leaving a trim of light behind. As soon as the butterfly flies from a particular place, the wind blowing in that place stops as if nothing ever happened there.

It continues that way until it stops in front of a particular building. The butterfly landed on the floor and started reducing in size.

The maids and guards in front of the building looked curiously at the butterfly.

Suddenly a bright light emanated from the butterfly and shone brightly around the place. Everyone covered their eyes because of the ray of light and almost immediately in place where the butterfly landed, now stood a very beautiful young lady.

The guards immediately assumed a defensive position ready to launch on the lady when one of the maids released a loud gasp, and immediately fell on her knees. She seemed to be the oldest among all the maids outside.

“It’s the Oracle” she shouts, and bows her head

The young lady looked around the palace intently. She was dressed in a white gown, and her silvered hair was combed back beautifully entrapped with silver hair pain. on her feet is a white leather shoes

The guards dropped their weapon and fell on their knees lowering their gaze to the floor, and the other maids followed them immediately dropping on their knees

“Oracle” they chorused together with their head bow.
