Iridescent 1314

Chapter 24

Meanwhile inside the carriage, Iris felt so weak. Her head started spinning. Cold sweat started forming.

"Why am I absorb the poison? Do I get too shocked and started to release the skill instantly? It was just like the troll blood. This poison not much but..." Her breathing became laboured, "I have to cover it well. I have to conceal it," She tried to calmed herself but only to no avail. The poison started to take over.

"Your breaths are unstable, Princess," June suddenly saw Iris weaken and paler, "What happened?"

"I am just... just... can't stand blood. I am sorry... I just..." Iris thought phobia are related to hyperventilating, so this must cover the poison absorption for now.

"Alright, Princess relaxed. You just shocked seeing Iowyrthe bleeding before. It is okay, it is alright."

"Excuse me, then. I have to take something in my carrier."

"The blood enhancer?"

"How... How do you know?"

"We found it when you are unconscious and it is in your belonging..."

Iris cut Doctor June's sentence and ran to the maids' carriage. She ran pass the Iowyrthe and Judah but completely ignored them. Doctor June followed her.

"Rosetta, where is my carrier please?"

"Do you need something, Princess?"

"Where is it? Please!" She was half shouting.

Rosetta panicked but managed to show the carrier to her. Iris opened and searched frantically. When she found it, she drank it and gradually calmed. She couldn't stand yet but she breathed better.

Rosetta and other maids were about to help her to stand up, when Iowyrthe suddenly stand behind Iris. The maids bowed.

"What are you doing?"

"No, nothing," Iris tried to hide it.

"June?"

"She was afraid of blood. She has difficulty breathing."

"Weak." He kneeled and about to carry her.

"No, no need."

"Ha..."

She forced herself to stand up and faced him, "See?"

However, she was staggering and lost control of her hands too. The bottle almost fell, but Iowyrthe caught it. Iris fell right into his chest. He caught her too.

"See what? See you fainted? See you almost breaking your precious blood enhancer?"

Iris was so angry but she has no strength to retaliate. He ended up carry her to the carriage.

Reading the situation, Doctor June prevent Marquis Judah from taking the same carriage. She grabbed his back collar when he about to go on to the carriage and whispered the situation.

"I am... hmmm I will take care of that boy, I will take the horse." Judah said.

"I... I... I need some fresh air. So, I will be with the coachman..." Doctor June then said, "Princess, please rest. Better if you lay down."

Iris did not answer it.

"This must be his doing. Now they know I am on blood enhancer. Being weak can made them send me back to Musou because they will feel I am unfit of being here. And, also, I have to buy more. Where should I buy it? I have to send a letter to the doctor in Vanra. But Musou Palace might be intervening." She took a deep, deep breath.

"She doesn't look fit at all. But stubborn. She can even stand. Her blood enhancer is not that much left. Is she have to take it every day? It wouldn't be sufficed until the banquet. Can June procure it? And now, afraid of blood? Such a piece of work. Wait, am I too harsh?" Iowyrthe was overthinking.

"I apologize." Iowyrthe said.

"Pardon?"

"I apologize. You have to lay down and rest."

"Apologize for what?"

"Many things. Shouldn't you be resting now?" Iowyrthe embarrassed.

"Well, I thank you to for helping me. You don't need to do that. Rosetta can help me."

"Princess of Musou keep fainting in the care of Duke Lleuelyn wouldn't be good for the empire relationship."

"It is not your fault anyway. Except in the lake I guess."

"That too. I didn't mean to drown you."

"I know. I was just angry that you set me up and didn't even apologize after. I apologize I slapped you."

"I accept it. I also cut your fire actually, when your temperature dropped."

"Ha..."

"I found your blood enhancer when you were unconscious. You have to tell me beforehand. From now on you have to tell me everything about your health. And also," he paused for a moment, "You don't have to kneel when you asking for something. You are a Princess."

"You won't listen, remember? You don't even listen when I kneel too in the end. Then what for? Why I have to tell you about my health? We will break the engagement after all, won't we? Don't think I don't know why you treat me like that."

Iowyrthe cannot answer that. The silent grew in the carriage. Iris fell into sleep. Iowyrthe then made her lay down and covered her with his cape. Deep in his heart, he felt bitter.
