Entering the room, they quickly sets down the unconscious and wounded skeleton on a bed. "Medical Emergency!" Crimson yelled and quickly, the doctors of the ward rushed to their side and began to try and patch the unknown skeleton up, Crimson then backed up and stood with Shroud as they watched the doctors try their best to save the skeleton. "Crimson, go alert his highness." Shroud spoke and Crimson nodded, dashing off hastily out the room.

"Sir, we have a problem." "Shoot." Shroud furrowed his brows as the doctor glanced behind him. "The skeleton doesn't want to take in any of our healers' healing magic, even the best healers for that matter." The doctor worriedly spoke and Shroud quietly cursed under his breath and then went towards the glitchy being, frowning a bit in disgust at how the doctors was currently sitting up the unconscious glitch up helping him spit out the bile from his mouth. "Why is he rejecting the healing magic?" Shroud asked, glancing at the head doctor who was currently reading up on the stats. "I don't know sir, but I can't even see the stats, whoever this guy has his stats heavily guarded, as all I see when I open it are glitches." The doctor explained and Shroud nodded.

"You are one mysterious little thing, aren't cha?" Shroud muttered softly. "Alright, I'll explain to his highness, why we couldn't use healing magic, just go ahead and use the longer method." Shroud spoke and the doctor nodded. "You heard him! Let's go team!" The doctor yelled and began to grab a bunch of first aid items. Shroud simply sighing and leaning back a bit.

Eventually though, Shroud then heard footsteps and quickly adjusted his posture to see that Crimson had come back with three more people. "Your highness." Shroud bowed. "Rise, Shroud." Shroud did so. "Where is he?" "Over here, your highness." Shroud then moved forward and pulled the curtain back. The ruler then came forward and looked down. "So he's the one..." The Highness muttered before glancing at the doctors, who was still wrapping the bandages around most of the bones. "Why are they using bandages?" The higher one asked, Crimson and the two other new comers glancing at Shroud, also in confusion.

"Well, your highness, the head doctor had told me that he doesn't take healing magic well, vomits it up in fact. We cannot guarantee using healing magic on him so the next best thing was just bandages and such." Shroud explained and the upper being nodded. "Crimson, Peril, go to the kitchen and ask the chefs to prepare food... Crimson, If you can, may you be the cook for tonight?" The higher being spoke, glancing at Crimson and one of the new comers. Crimson nodded at the aound of him cooking. "Yes your highness!" The being held back a sneer at the positivity that emitted from Crimson. Peril then glanced at him, before back at the king. "Your highness-" "I already know what you're gonna ask. You'll be the one who would personally deliver the food to him if he ever wakes up, and deliver food for Shroud too, as you and Shroud are in charge of staying by him." The King spoke making Shroud and Peril nod.

"Has any of you tried checking him?" The ruler asked, glancing the doctors. "We've tried, your highness, but his stats just showed up glitched." The doctor spoke. "Earlier, he was glitching too." "That was mostly because he was puking out the healing magic." Shroud commented as he glanced down at the unconscious skeleton that they just couldn't help but find fascinating. Especially since it was the first ever skeleton they've seen with bones as black as night, but also concerning with the amount of wounds and such on the skeleton.

"I see..." The ruler muttered to himself before turning on his heel. "Call me again once he has woken up, I still have things to do... Silver, follow me." "Yes your highness." The general of the court then quickly began to follow after the Emperor.

"I always get chills whenever I'm in the presence of Nightmare himself." Peril couldn't help but whisper very quietly in glee to his partner while Shroud simply rolled his eyelights. "You and Crimson should honestly get going to the kitchen, food doesn't make themselves y'know." Shroud shrugged. "Oh right, C'mon Crimson! Let's go!" Peril exclaimed happily as he pats Crimson's skull. "Watch the bandages." Crimson hissed and Peril simply shrugged before grinning lightly and then walking away afterwards. Shroud simply shook his skull and then leaned against the wall again, crossing his arms a bit.

Shroud then glanced back at the sleeping figure as the doctors finally retreated, two staying behind to constantly monitor the sleeping being. "Ah, wonder what made you so interesting that his highness himself, asked for you?" Shroud couldn't help but mutter himself before looking down. He'll have to change his outfit later, but not now. He has a job to do.
