Rare condition

[At the Palace]

A man with his jet-black hair swaying on the wind was standing on the balcony with his tea cup. He was admiring the beauty of the back garden and the peaceful surrounding him. Due to being the crown prince, he was busy on his royal duties. He needs to be attentive to work for his people.

As he was looking outside, he heard a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, its me Michael. I would like to ask a private discussion with you"

He went back to his table and sit with a paper on his hands. "Come in"

The door opened and Michael enters. You could see the serious face he's now wearing.

Luther put down the paper, crossed his legs and fold his palms together as if he was praying. "What is it, Michael?"

"I have a matter that regards the people of this kingdom"

Luther eyes squinted upon hearing this. "Go on", his voice was no longer the same when he was in the training ground. His vibes also changed to that intimidating that a royalty should have.

"I was on a walk with my little sister when we encounter some men who enslave people. Fortunately, they didn't realized that a low rank like me would be connected to you. They let their guard down and show off who they really are. I am afraid that some people are being enslave and being sell right now. I recommend to take action"

Luther listened to his every word. There were always lots of cases regarding human-trafficking in every nation. However, it still make his blood boils.

"Write a report on this matter and we will make a plan on how to subjugate them"

Michael lower his head, "Yes, your highness"

"Seems this matter has been discussed, I would like to ask a question Michael"

"What is it, your highness?"

Luther stand up and walk around the table. He sat down on it and faced Michael. He asked him with a smile, "What is the story behind your sister?"

If anyone was with them, they will be confused. It should not be a matter to the crown prince. He could neglect his friend sister like he did with others but that was not the case. He was interested to Michael sister. Not even once he mention her in front of him.

"I apologized for not telling you sooner for it was unnecessary"

Luther just nodded at him. Not interested for his reasons. He was the type that hate it when people says their reasons even though he never asked.

"Well, your highness..."

"Wait, i forgot my manners", he grab a belle and rings it. A maid enters the room and bowed her head.

"Bring us some snacks"

"Yes, your highness", she immediately went out the room.

Luther stood up and place his hand on Michael shoulder. "We should sit and have some snacks. It would be quite uncomfortable if we only stand as you tell a story"

Michael nodded. The two of them sat in the corner with a small table in the midst of them. There was silence until the maids arrived with snacks on their hands. They quickly left them alone.

"You should begin"

"Yes, your highness"

He told her everything about Elle.

Elle was only 8 years old when she was able to use magic. However, it was a weird magic. There were golden chains and clocks around her. Even the mages couldn't find out what it is. And a few months later, Elle was in an unstable condition. She was not breathing normally. She was sweating from head to toe. It was like she was choking by something.

When she was brought to the hospital, all the healers that available help them. But it was still useless. As time goes around the clock her condition worsen. No one has the idea on what to do anymore.

"Magic..."

They heard her speak as she gasp for air.

"Leave me... Magic... I can't... bear it... Leave"

They were confused at her words. They couldn't understand what she's trying to say.

"Are you all idiots? Take her to a room with no magic surrounding it"

There was a man in his 30's step up in the crowds. He wore a rectangular eyeglasses and has a piercing gaze.

"Ye-yes, doctor Sven"

They immediately move her to the highest floor with no magic inside. They only grasp the situation when she finally calm down.

"Doctor Sven, how did you know?"

"I don't know. I only dream of this scenario the night before"

He look toward the young girl lying inside a room with nothing inside of it. He heard a loud running footstep and glance towards it. He saw a three figure running toward them with worried looks on their faces.

"How's my daughter?", Mr. Will asked.

"Not in a good condition"

Upon hearing his answers, Mr. Will kneels on the ground. The 9 years old Michael was shocked. His pretty sister who was just fine a month ago has turned into worse.

"Listen, i have a skill where i have visions whenever i slept. This time, it explains your daughter condition"

All of them listened to doctor Sven explanation. Every staff here knew of his excellent skills. He has no magic because of his low status but he was gifted with visions. All of his visions made him to be a successful person.

"Your daughter has a very rare condition. It all because of magic"

"Magic?", her father asked in confusion.

"Yes, when her power was developed it activates her symptoms. Her body couldn't handle such magic. Add to that are the magic that surrounds us. The aura, the nature and the stones. I hate to say this but, your daughter has to stay here until we found the answers for her"

It was a big revelation for them. Their daughter that always smile and kind is suffering right now. She is still a child and she has never committed such sins but she is being tormented by such rare illness.

Ms. Belle broke down in tears together with her husband. Michael couldn't accept it. He wanted to deny it but everything was real.

Since that day, not even once he enters her room. For it will cause problem if she sense a bit of magic and she will end up in another seizure.

He only saw her outside her door sitting on her bed while crying.

To dismissed his negative feelings, he become stronger. So that when she finally discharged, he will take good care of her.

"So seeing her get discharged, is her condition fine now?", the prince sip his tea as he looked at Michael.
