No Sympathy for the Devil

3 days after

"Jisoo!.....you're not well....let me inform Taehyung about your state!!"

"Please!" Seri exclaimed with deep concern, tightly gripping Jisoo's hair in a makeshift ponytail. She had taken it upon herself to assist Jisoo, who was relentlessly vomiting a disturbing black substance. Jisoo appeared feeble and ashen, her hand trembling as she weakly directed her gaze towards her concerned cousin.

"Don't!! Don't you dare....he has too much going on right now!! Besides what are you going to do....if he's not even close to the palace!!"

"You know that....mmahh...huh..." Overwhelmed by the persistent urge to expel the unsettling fluid, Jisoo hastily plunged her head into the toilet bowl.

"Jisoo! Well...how are you planning on surviving then?? If you don't want me to even call the palace's healer for you!!"

"Why?? Just why not???.....you need him!!" Seri uttered in frustration. After a long minute of purging the toxic fluid Jisoo started talking again in difficulty.

"Because I would be......exposing my husband...that he had indeed spend the night with me....and he will certainly be punished by our grandfather, if he ever finds out!!"

"Taehyung told me that night.....that he had been warned....by someone.....I ....I just feel that it's grandpa!!"

"I can't bear the thought of losing him... I can't stand the idea of him being apart from me!" Jisoo exclaimed, her mind swirling with anxiety. Seri, noticing her distress, reached out and held onto her tightly, offering a comforting presence.

"Well...then....let me search for a healer outside the palace"

"Let me search for one in our villages!"

"I'm sure there must be one.....!" Seri said. Jisoo's eyes immediately adjusted on her cousin's face.

""Do you think there's a chance it could work out?" she asked, a glimmer of hope in her voice. Seri nodded reassuringly, her eyes filled with understanding.

"I have faith, sister... because our people have always sought healers from the villages themselves!" Seri responded with conviction, her voice filled with reassurance. Jisoo's eyes brightened, a flicker of hope igniting within her. Perhaps there was a way to keep him close after all. Jisoo's eyes widened as Seri's words sank in. The castle's strict traditions and beliefs had always dictated that only the royal bloodline had access to the healer's expertise. But Seri's suggestion offered a glimmer of possibility.

"You're right," Jisoo mumbled, her voice filled with newfound determination.

"The healers in the villages may not have the same knowledge of our bloodline, but they possess ancient wisdom and techniques that could help cleanse any impurities." Seri muttered, her hand continuing to rub Jisoo's back soothingly.

"Alright.....if it's not the healer from the palace then I'm okay with it!!"

"But....but Seri I'm afraid for you!!"

"The villages are a bit far and you would be crossing the battle ground!"

"I don't think it's good idea.....you know what don't go.....I don't want anything to happen to you!!" Jisoo said while gripping her arm tightly. Seri smiled at her and slowly stroked Jisoo's hair in return.
