The entire Henituse Duchy was thrown into chaos. The great Commander, the trash of the Dukes Family, the king's sworn brother, and the newly appointed Grand Marshal is SICK!

Well, that's what Cale Henituse thought at least.

He remembered diagnosing himself with Tachycardia. It's a disease for a heart rate over 100 beats a minute. He didn't know what the reason was, but definitely, he is sick.

"I doubt it." Ron comments after seeing him on the bed flushed but healthy enough to be considered sick. Ron had been with him for the past years and he know exactly what going on with him than himself. There is no way, that kind of diet and forced workout would make this puppy master sick.

Every renowned healer, priest, and even mage came to the villa at Deruth's command. Even the royal healer came in a rush to check upon him.

And their diagnosis is the same.

"he's not cursed."

"he's healthy."

"There is nothing wrong with the General..."

Only one answer differed, and that's from the great dragon, "his brain is sick."

Retorted by Beacrox and Ron who answered in unison, "as if he's normal in any way."

Cale looked at them annoyed with a glare.

"if I am not sick.. then what did you call that?"

Eruhaben, "Who did you meet?"

"what does meeting someone have to do with my disease?"

Eruhaben stared at him but did not answer him. Suspecting.

"I saw a prospective hunter... and then, a girl..."

"hunter?" Lock tilted his head to the side, "but you with a girl when we saw you, Cale-Hyung-nim."

Raon, "yes! You were staring at her intently!"

On, "yes! Yes! Cale-nyah looked stupid."

Hond assent, "yes! Cale-nyah was standing there like an idiot!"

"hoho?" Ron chuckled darkly as if he had the answer to what kind of sickness his young master had.

Cale looked at them. Why do all their smiles feel terrifying right now?

Deruth finally stood up, but he had a huge toothy smile on his face, "I see that my son was inflicted with an incurable curse."

Violan, "we need to find that girl to cure Cale." She seconded with a smile on her face.

The Henituse couple walked out of the room, Cale can still hear Deruth's laughter while giggling disgustingly.

"what's wrong with him?" Cale confusedly asked.

"nothing wrong with the Lord," Ron replied.

Eruhaben seconded, "worry about yourself first..."

The children couldn't understand anything that the granddaddies are talking about.

Cale asked once again, "so... what's my curse then? That girl cursed me?"

"yes..." Eruhaben huffs, "A very powerful curse. Unlucky gal."

Not long after, there comes the Emperor Alver slamming the doors of his room open, "Dongsaeng! I heard you were sick!" he was brisking his way to him, "I thought I told you to stop drinking already! This is what you get for buying all those liquors with the golden plaque! I am not giving you any golden plaques until you're cured!"
