《The Demon King said to call him Papa》Chapter Sixteen: Candy
Advertisement
I couldn't help but stare at the man as he approached. Half of his face was just like the skeleton that used to sit in the back of the classroom which always seemed to be staring at me.
"Greetings Princess Soraya." The skeleton man bows as he places the big brown bag he held besides the bed. "I am Dr. Jada Strom."
"H-hello." I nod, not really noticing that I was clenching the blankets.
Dr. Strom glances at my hands before he suddenly kneels, his tall figure becoming small as he lowered himself.
"I am here to help you get better." The human side of his face had a small smile as his dark grey eye met mine. "How are you feeling now?"
"..." I couldn't help but hesitate, the nightmare from earlier was still lingering.
"You are safe." Dr. Strom's voice caused me to look at him once more. "I will not do anything without your say-so."
I glance over at Grandpa who nods.
"M-my head." I touch the spot that still hurt. "A-and..." My hand touches my throat that felt so dry, like the dust from my dream had settled there.
"I see." A gloved hand reaches out, lightly twisting around my wrist. "Have you eaten something since you woke up?"
"S-soup." I look towards Mimi who smiles.
"I had whipped up some chicken soup." She says as Dr. Strom looks over at her. "Though she mostly had just the broth."
"That's good. There are many nutrients that a child needs to recover in chicken soup. " He releases my hand and pulls out a paper bag out of the bag on the floor. "Heat up water and mix this into it before drinking it."

He turns to meet my eyes once more after he hands the bag to Mimi.
"It won't taste very good, but you must drink it to heal faster."
A second bag was placed in my lap.
"Once you have- go ahead and have one of these."
I open the bag and see pink shiny balls inside the bag.
"Their strawberry flavored. Though let me know if you do not like the flavor."
"T-thank you." I held the bag in my hands.
"Here you go dear." Mimi places a cup into my hands with the medicine.
I looked down at the strange purple goo that still bubbled though Mimi's magic had cooled it down then saw the expectant looks from everyone.
"Hmph." I quickly swallowed the goo, feeling it slide down my throat and taking the sandy feeling with it.
It wasn't the worst thing I have ever had to taste, but since I've been here- I've only had tasty food, each more yummy then the last. So, it was a little hard for me to finish.
"Very good." The skeleton doctor gestures to the bag in my lap once the cup was empty. "Those will help remove the taste."
I pick up one of the pink balls and lick it before I put it in my mouth, the sweet sugary taste washing away the bad taste.
"However, do not- Princess!"
Eccch!
I choke, the ball suddenly stuck in my throat after I started to swallow it.
"Dear!"
"Soraya!"
Mimi and Grandpa both surround me in concern as magic slipped into my mouth and took the ball out.
"Ah." I gasp, holding Grandpa's hand after I finally stopped coughing.
"I am sorry Princess." The doctor bows his head deeply. "I should of taken into consideration that you might swallow the hard candies and choke."

"I-its ok-" I started to speak, only to be interrupted by Grandpa.
"But you did not." His red magic came off him in waves. "The princess could died from such a mistake."
"I will accept any punishment."
"You should not say that lightly."
We all turn to look in surprise as Papa stands in the doorway.
"Your Majesty."
Papa waves a little as he enters, stopping everyone from bowing before sitting down next to me.
"Are you alright Soraya? That must of surprised you."
"Hm." I nod, leaning into him.
Papa looks down at me before turning his gaze to the doctor.
"You will accept any punishment?"
"Yes, your Majesty." His face was tense as he looked at us.
"Then your punishment shall be..." Papa seemed to pause for a moment. "To serve as princess Soraya's doctor for as long as you live."
"Your Majesty?" The doctor looked confused for a moment until our eyes met.
I stared into the black hole of his skeleton side and his grey eye of the human side as he looked into mine, seeing a strange look behind them that seemed to clear the longer we looked at each other.
"I will accept this punishment." He bows before looking up once more. "I swear that I will take care of the princess until either someone with a better ability than mine shows up or she herself says that she no longer needs me."
Papa nudges me after his words and smiles.
"I-i'll be in y-your care...?" It took me a moment to understand what Papa was getting at.
"Thank you princess!" Dr. Strom bows once more towards me.

Toradora!
Toradora!’s story begins with the male protagonist Ryuji Takasu who is frustrated at trying to look his best as he enters his second year of high school. Despite his gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryuji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend Yusaku Kitamura and crush Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into “the school’s most dangerous animal of the highest risk level” — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class, and is a good friend of Minori. Taiga has a negative attitude towards others and will not hesitate to snap at people. After meeting Ryuji, she takes an instant dislike of him. Taiga comes from a rich family, though she moved out to live on her own due to family issues, and by coincidence is now living in an apartment next door to Ryuji. After Ryuji discovers that Taiga has a crush on Yusaku, and Taiga finds out about Ryuji’s affections towards Minori, Ryuji suggests that they cooperate so they can win the object of their affections. Ryuji says he will do anything to get closer to Minori, which Taiga exploits, making Ryuji her personal servant, and getting him to do household chores like cooking and cleaning for her. Taiga spends a lot of her time over at his house, so much so that she could almost be considered a member of his family. Since Ryuji spends a lot of time with Taiga, he is opened up to her world and to a side of her that most people do not see. The two also attempt to help each other in order to improve how people view them. Unknown to them, however, people they know from school start to become curious about their strange relationship together and rumors begin to spread about them.
