01:47thinking about that bloody ending i frowned the damage was already done but the story had just
01:52gone go and get it then i crouched by his chair and touched his legs felix looked at me without
02:00a word
02:00when i lifted his robe his eyes filled with disgust still in the mood princess

02:46just yet he actually sneered at me the monster who broke him was now playing the position it was
02:51completely absurd i did not explain can you get onto the bed his mouth tilted in mockery then he
02:57raced on his arms and dropped himself up inch by inch at last he lay flat on the bed i'm
03:02gonna do
03:03something do it fast i'm tired i took a breath and sat beside him he still looked untouchable this may
03:08hurt just breathe then i placed my hands on his legs i checked the brake first the way the bone

03:37so this is your new game princess
03:44when they broke his legs he did not panic when they drugged him and stripped him he did not panic
03:50felix was never afraid of pain he was afraid of kindness before i got trapped in this book
03:54i was an orthopedic surgeon healing people was all i ever wanted when i read this story he was the
03:59one
03:59i pitied most first illness wasted his best years then his ruined legs destroyed his pride he pushed
04:08away the true heroine princess seraphina and when she chose wesley shaw instead felix fell apart
04:16he became the ruthless bloodthirsty royal regent
04:21but at the start of the story he was not like that breathtakingly handsome fiercely proud the book
04:26said but by the end it said the new queen seraphina hands him a cup of poisoned wine he knows
04:30exactly
04:30what it is but he loves her too much to make her choose so he drinks it and dies with
04:34a smile the rest
04:35of his life was nothing but loss thank god it was still the beginning i threw the handkerchief back to
04:40him
04:40i said once your legs heal pack your things get out of my palace
04:47i moved felix to a side chamber so he could heal palace gossip spread fast
04:54when i heard that i could not sit still so i went to see him but his room no fire
05:00in the hearth
05:00it was as cold as an ice house why are you here i walked over and touched his hand ice
05:07cold why is
05:08there no fire once i lost your favor princess i became nothing but trash to them your legs can't take
05:15the cold you were the king's advisor you are still an honored guest in my house before before i ruined
05:23your highness i need coal for the fire and i need ink pens and paper i will send them what's
05:32the
05:32punishment for the maids that depends on you princess thinking about that bloody ending he
05:40got blood on his hands destroyed his own reputation it was all to put seraphina on the throne all for
05:46that
05:46innocent girl who smiled at him and pulled him out of hell i was tossing and turning it had been
05:51nearly a
05:52hundred days based on my medical expertise his nerves should be fully repaired so why was he still in a
05:59wheelchair i kept my eyes shut and pretended to sleep someone stopped beside my bed
06:15a familiar salem scent hit my nose it was felix
06:22wait he was walking he was sitting on the edge of my bed staring at me in the dark my
06:28heart started
06:29pounding i gripped the silk sheets terrified to breathe why stop pretending now princess his body
06:35pressed over mine radiating absolute heat felix what in god's name are you doing sneaking into my bed
06:44that's treason you gain nothing by killing me how could this be felix in the original story he
06:51despised my touch to scrub with skin raw to get my scent off him then i understood why he had
06:56come
06:57he didn't believe i was just fixing him he thought my kindness was a trap my heart sank he would
07:04never
07:04drop his guard around me only seraphina the sweet naive girl could do that to him i would always be
07:09the cruel
07:11calculating princess
07:14so your legs are healed you healed my legs princess so what do you want from me what do i
07:21want yes
07:23he pulled me into his arms and toyed with the strand of my hair
07:27i want nothing if your legs are healed then leave tomorrow
07:34in this palace everyone wanted something pleasure money influence power felix if you
07:41ever need help again you can still come to me so the princess truly wants to get rid of me
07:47then i'll go after he left it already felt like a dream a sweet one
07:56i told myself to stay away from felix win wanting him would ruin me
08:04maybe that was for the best felix and i were never meant for the same path
08:10the first time i saw seraphina she was standing up for him the palace servants knew exactly how to bow
08:16to power and trample on the weak i clenched my fist and started toward them but someone moved faster
08:23a whip cracked across their faces you shameless little rats you don't get to speak his name that way
08:29the girl stood tall fierce radiant then her eyes found mine and what is this power taking what it wants
08:38she seemed to light up the whole place even felix looked at her differently the moment seraphina
08:44appeared felix's eyes followed her only this time things were different so i turned and walked away
08:51without a word now he could love her without shame now nothing stood in his way
08:57in the original story felix had been left broken now he was home
09:04felix soon became seraphina's tutor every day she brought her father broth and begged him to appoint felix
09:12i heard more gossip felix's leg injury had worsened again seraphina had stayed by his bedside day and
09:18night i frowned his legs had gotten worse again that night i took a lantern i crossed the palace grounds
09:27the chamber was dark and quiet
09:35what are you doing here princess i came to see you like before i peeled back the bandage the royal
09:42physician had wrapped around the wound
09:47why come here in the middle of the night i told you i'm going to heal your legs
09:54by candlelight i cleaned his wound with crushed herbs and spoke more gently
09:58i heard you've been showing seraphina around the palace every day that's likely why the wound opened
10:04again your legs need rest
10:09you can't keep following seraphina around like this felix only looked at me he said nothing
10:15will you come again princess in three days i'll come change the dressing before i even reached his
10:23rooms two shadows leaned close together against the window pane i waited there until she was gone
10:29then i went in by moonlight felix sat at his desk i did not tell him to lie down i
10:35knelt beside his desk
10:36and changed the dressing there when i finished i looked up at him felix i won't be coming anymore
10:42i've done what i could to make up for the past but now you have seraphina with her backing you
10:48you don't need me anymore you sound jealous of princess seraphina yes i am you have everything princess
10:57what could you possibly be jealous of princess lately i can't read you at all that temper
11:03that cruelty was all of it just a mask and then he kissed me
11:13when the kiss ended i was still catching my breath against his chest felix when you love someone
11:19don't hand them all of you keep a little for yourself
11:26after that night i did not see felix for a long time news of him kept spreading through the palace
11:31anyway felix had been made a royal chamberlain the king had even taken his advice and lowered taxes
11:38i was truly happy for him now i trained under the royal physician i sorted my herbs with a quiet
11:46smile
11:47then the rumors started people said i was jealous of seraphina said i feared she would fight me for
11:53the throne even my father tested me i offered him the herbal tonic i had made myself and told him
11:59plainly that i wanted no throne i wanted to heal people he looked pleased he said i was honoring my
12:05mother's wish he said i had finally grown up the truth was i did not care what the palace said
12:13about
12:13me i only wondered what felix thought if i stood in seraphina's way would he destroy me too
12:20i sniffed the air a burnt herbal smell hit me at once i shot to my feet and rushed to
12:25put out the fire
12:26this is why pretty men are trouble another spring passed then summer came hard storm after storm
12:32hit the kingdom rain would not stop whole towns went under the flood water swallowed villages the
12:38grain rotted in the fields after the storms the refugees poured into the capital they were everywhere
12:43children begging in the streets families sleeping against stone walls they said the men with the corpse
12:49trucks could barely keep up they were pulling bodies from one street after another there were not even
12:55enough shrouds to cover the dead the queen led the court's relief effort she gave up pearls rubies
13:01and gold from her own collection bread was handed out by the palace walls and she overseeded herself
13:05soon the noble lemons of the city followed her lead i was on my way to ask my father to
13:09let me join
13:10the royal physicians outside the palace but when i reached the great hall cellafrina was already there
13:14she wanted the king to issue a decree and grant her permission to marry felix we'll discuss that later
13:19no father i came to ask about medical relief for the refugee and how would you handle it there are
13:24too many patients and not enough healers move the less serious cases outside the capital felix just
13:29proposed moving people to where the food is and now you come in with moving patients to where the
13:33care is very good then please let me go with the royal physicians and help treat the wounded myself
13:37you are the third princess do you really mean to put yourself among refugees i am also a physician
13:43the sick are the sick no matter their station you really have grown up outside the hall serafina
13:50was waiting she frowned at me you knew i was asking father to let me marry felix you came to
13:56stop me
13:57didn't you they're dying in the streets and you think this is the time to talk about love serafina faltered
14:04i didn't mean i'm not taking felix from you he's yours serafina pressed her lips together
14:11she looked thoughtful guilty i reached up and smoothed the loose hair from her brow you were
14:16right that day power lets us take but it also asks something of us you're smarter than i am
14:23you should know that i turned to go then i saw felix standing in the arcade watching me his gaze
14:30was
14:30sharp cold he walked toward us then he smiled princess it's been a while the more i watch you the
14:40more
14:40interesting you become as he spoke my eyes dropped to his mouth for a second i could almost taste he
14:46again felix i didn't expect to see you here hardly were you waiting here for me of course he had
14:53come
14:53for her princess i congratulations i cut in you got your wish outside the palace i saw what disaster
15:02really meant a woman held a little boy in her arms his small body was covered in infected sores
15:08and just like that i remembered why i had chosen medicine in the first place an older woman took
15:13the bowl of medicine from my hands and looked at me kindly you've saved so many may god bless you
15:19do you know who this young lady is she's the third princess that's her the one who kept her own
15:24tutor prisoner that spoiled vicious princess so this was how it went the cruel princess one day a saint the
15:33next what a joke is that the ogre princess she cried i gave a bitter smile that night too restless
15:41to sleep i wandered into the walled garden by the side hall for a second i thought i saw him
15:47in the
15:47distance that was impossible then out of nowhere a palace maid rushed out from the shadows with a
15:54dagger she slapped my right shoulder my child died in the blood why didn't you save him she raised the
16:01knife again the sword pierced her throat from behind she dropped dead on the spot then i saw who stood
16:08behind her felix so it really is you what are you doing here he said nothing he pulled me against
16:21him
16:21and reached for my clothes to check the wound felix you're not a doctor you don't know how to treat
16:26this he pressed down to stop the bleeding his eyes stayed lowered quiet focused felix why did you save
16:35me my death would have cost you nothing i had no wish to fight for the throne but if i
16:41died seraphina's
16:42path would be that much easier i did hate you once i did want you dead
16:49you
