When the Prince returned from the hospital after work, he felt incredibly sad the moment he opened the door when he saw that Martia was still not there. He sat on the bed and closed his eyes and wished this night and all other days and nights would pass quickly so that he could just arrive at a time when he could see Martia again.

  He suddenly heard footsteps. He opened his eyes and saw a half-clad girl approaching him. He wondered why she was there.

  She said, “Please accept my greetings, Prince. I am Linishi. King

  Coaleme sent me here for you. He wants me to help you get a good night’s sleep.”

  Offended, he curtly said, “Get out.”

  Linishi smiled, and while removing her clothes, continued to approach the Prince.

  He averted his eyes, got up, and yelled furiously, “Did my brother ever wonder why he is lonely, why none of his family members are with him? He left our father to die when he was ill and old. Now he is sending me a woman to sleep with instead of asking me why I am sad, instead of talking to me or telling me that everything is going to be okay. Everyone around me feels so soulless, so empty. I just miss Martia. I am really tired of living around everyone else now, except for her. Even a single moment without her feels so pointless, so purposeless. So just get out and pass this message to my brother, who is worried about me.”

  Linishi got dressed and said, “Don’t worry, Prince. Martia will return to you very soon. We Promapplers now have three leaders—Martia, Acastius, and Minver. I always wondered why our leader went to such extremes to save you. But now I understand. Yes, you are right, this is a soulless world, but you should not give up on yourself as you have the soul which you seek in everyone else. And I know my leader will always protect you, irrespective of the circumstances. I just hope that she keeps you and we Promapplers on the same side and takes care of both of us. I take my leave, Prince. Please take care of yourself.”

  Saying this, she left. The Prince felt relieved that Martia had succeeded in saving her friends but was worried at the same time about the presence of a Promappler spy in the castle. He then realized that Martia had put in place a plan to kill the king but was thankful that she had not had the time to put her plan into action.

  Feeling peaceful and thankful after hearing that Martia had succeeded in her mission and would soon come back to him, he lay down and tried to sleep.

  The next day, he called some of the designers in Absyleous. He created a design with their help and ordered a wedding dress to be made for Martia.
