Albion took a few steps back and sat down on his bed, holding one hand to the wound with a grimace. His heart was pounding and he looked pale and uneasy. He really didn't like seeing all that blood. "It'll… it'll be fine." He mumbled, more to himself than to his sisters. "Just need to bandage it some more and… y-yeah…"
Eliora nodded, "I won't say a word." She stepped into the hall, looking back before closing the door behind her. She rushed off, silently praying that Albion would be alright until she got back.
She sat down with him, moving to unwrap the bandages so she could check his wound, before moving to wrap them around his chest and waist area, applying pressure to his wounds.
When Jasper unwrapped the bandages, Albion hissed softly in pain and tensed up. The edges of the wound seemed to have split, and it was freshly bleeding. He grimaced when she wrapped the bandages more tightly around him, trembling lightly and biting his lip to keep quiet.
"I'm sorry Albion…I know it hurts okay? But we have to apply pressure to it so it dosent continue to bleed." She continued to put pressure on his chest and his bandages waiting for there sister to hurry up with those bandages.
After almost running over several servants, Eliora finally got ahold of some bandages. She rushed back down the corridors, nearly slipping as she turned a corner. She reached the room and flung the door open, panting heavily. "Got… bandages…" She held them out to Jasper, brushing loose strands of auburn hair out of her face.
Albion looked up when Eliora returned, visibly uncomfortable and in pain. He pulled his hand away from the wound and paled at the sight of the blood. He felt dizzy and closed his eyes, exhaling shakily. "Mmnh… how much time do we have before we need to get to the event…?" He asked weakly.
She moves over to grab the bandages and rushed back over to her brother, removing the previous bandages and applying the fresh ones while applying pressure onto the wound, she made sure to wrap them pretty tight but not painfully tight.
"I'm not sure.."
Albion exhaled sharply when Jasper wrapped the new bandages around his chest, wincing at the pain. He shifted uncomfortably, keeping his hand from touching his bed so he wouldn't get blood on the sheets. He didn't want to have to explain that to whoever ended up cleaning them.
She smiled back, blushing a little at the kisses. “Never, birdie.” Leaning forward, she kissed his cheek in return. “And I will always be your princess.”
For some time she swayed with him, but then she remembered something. She lifted her head to look into his eyes again. “Dear, doesn’t your family have the event at the palace to attend? I don’t want to keep you or get you into trouble.”

He was enjoying the peaceful and calm swaying as they hugged, he kinda swayed with her inside their little spot inside the deeper areas of the library, he let out a sigh when she mentioned the event.
"I suppose we do….you will be there serving won't you?"
“Ah…” her gaze flickered downward for a moment. “I think I’m meant to stay here. Have to take care of the house. I’m sure the palace has lots of its own servants.” She looked a little sad for a moment but the look quickly vanished. “But you should get ready, you don’t want to make your family late.”
"Well what if I were to tell you I'm taking you along as my personal servant?" He grinned down at her, moving to plant a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm taking you with me, bit I suppose I should get ready, and you should as well."
Albion exhaled sharply when Jasper wrapped the new bandages around his chest, wincing at the pain. He shifted uncomfortably, keeping his hand from touching his bed so he wouldn't get blood on the sheets. He didn't want to have to explain that to whoever ended up cleaning them.
Eliora sat next to Albion and grabbed his hand, not caring that it was covered in blood. She didn't normally do handholding, but it helped her feel less panicky. She sincerely hoped that this wasn't anything fatal, but she assumed she was overreacting. She didn't know much about medicine, so there wasn't really anything she could do except wait.
Albion held tightly to Eliora's hand and screwed his eyes shut, his lip quivering a bit. He was pale and looked nervous, but he did his best to keep quiet. After a while of hesitation, he rested his head on her shoulder and exhaled shakily. He drew in a few quick, shallow breaths before beginning to hold his breath again.
Eliora gave Albion a small smile, trying to comfort him. "You'll be okay." She said, softly kissing the top of his head. "It'll be over before you know it." Or at least she hoped so.
Albion held a bit tighter to Eliora, trying to relax. "Y-Yeah… I know. I'm… I'm going to be fine. Everything is fine. Just got to relax before the event since father will surely be parading me around as usual…"
Eliora gave him a concerned look. "Are you sure you want to go?" She asked, "If you'd rather stay here, I can come up with an excuse for you." She really didn't want Albion to do anything that would make his condition worse.
Albion shook his head a bit. "No, no… I really should attend. They will only be more suspicious if I don't. I don't want any of them coming to check up on me and finding me like this. I'll just… pull myself together, yeah?" He offered a shaky smile and looked up at his sisters weakly. "Everything will turn out fine."
"Well what if I were to tell you I'm taking you along as my personal servant?" He grinned down at her, moving to plant a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm taking you with me, bit I suppose I should get ready, and you should as well."
She blinked up at him in surprise. “O— oh,” she stuttered, her eyelashes fluttering at his kiss. “Well, I would love that very much. I’ve always wanted to see the palace.” She glanced down, smiling wide. “Seeing it with you would make it all the better.”
She reached up to kiss his cheek in return. “Yes, we should get ready. I’ll see you soon, birdie.”
Pulling away, she smiled warmly at him before turning and leaving their little spot, leaving the library to prepare.

Eliora sighed. "You're right. We don't want anyone getting suspicious," She turned to Jasper. "How's it coming?" She asked, hoping for good news.
She tried her hardest not to let it show how beyond mad she was, he should be able to rest this wasn't going to get any better if he wasn't allowed to rest. He shouldn't have to go. She quickly finished up bandaging him and made sure it was wrapped tight. "there…also Albion, I'll try and make sure the pressure is off of you and onto me, from the king." She wouldn't refer to him as father most times, unless it was Infront of guests.
"It's…the least I can do."
Albion closed his eyes and nodded a bit, doing his best to try and relax so he might get a brief bout of rest before he was expected to be the perfect crown prince of the kingdom in front of countless people. "Alright… whatever you say. It's probably fine."

Pulling away, she smiled warmly at him before turning and leaving their little spot, leaving the library to prepare.
He chuckled as the realization set in her face, and he watched her with a grin, a very happy grin.
"well then it's settled little fox." He leaned down so It would be easier for her to kiss his cheek and then watched as she exited the room and he did as well.

Eliora shook her head slightly. "I just don't like the idea of you going out there like this," She said, "But if you insist. Just remember to wash the blood off your hands. Wouldn't do any good if someone saw that."
