...32...

JAELE👧

Meanwhile, back at the Linamine Empire, the Royal Physician was just finished with tending to the Lady's wounds. He was packing up his tools into his box while Hyeera was trying to coerce her Lady who was now awake to drink her medicine. They were the only ones in the bedroom. The Physician's assistant was outside the bedroom, having a chat with the Little Prince and it was undoubtedly about the lady. Vura sat down at the other side with Xiera, also talking about their lady. Xiera was trying to see if she could pry anything, almost anything related to the secret they were keeping away from her out of her colleague. But, though she was subtle, Vura who didn't seem to catch up with what she was trying to do still revealed about nothing that she knew nothing about to her. She was therefore frustrated into stopping her inquisition.

The Royal Physician soon came out of the bedroom just as she was preparing to storm off frustratedly with his box of medical tools and supplies in his hands. They both watched as he went to the Little Prince and his assistant. They stood and went to him, both having the same thing on their minds, their lady.

'My Lord,' the Royal Physician said to the Little Prince who nodded an acknowledgement.

'Is she fine now?' he simply asked the man who nodded. He sighed in relief at the answer. The state that she was in when the emperor returned really meant a lot to him.

'She is quite okay now My Lord. She will get much more better if she drinks the medicine I prescribed along with the vitality tonic. It's sedated but no one should tell her that lest she makes a fuss over it,' he advised him.

'Ah, I see.'

'It will aid her in resting well. I know that the emperor's woman is stubborn. She might not listen to any of you that is why I simply put sedatives into the medicine.'

'How wise of you,' the royal physician's assistant said. Though it was a praise, it didn't sound like it coming from his black and blue long haired assistant.

'Aiya! I do want her properly recovered before the Emperor's return. Her wounds may not be so nice looking even till then. It was indeed infiltrated by Xhanai poison as the lady's aide had diagnosed. She has too many lines on her back. She shall have to be put belly down when she sleeps for she loves to lie otherwise and it would be a hassle.'

'I will make sure that everything is done as you please. I had feared that my brother would return to meet her in such a bad shape and lose control instantly,' he shared his fear.

'Now or later, the emperor would lose his cool nevertheless,' the royal physician's assistant chipped in. 'Even if it were only that a strand of her hair was taken away from her, he would blow his top.' The royal physician nodded at him in silent agreement.

'I totally agree with you. I must find a way to keep him in check lest he reveals the slightest in his anger,' the Little Prince said. The sentence piqued Xiera's long forgotten curiosity. So there really was something that they all knew except her, yes? She was beginning to be too curious for her own good. If they were keeping it away from her, then it was huge and if she found out, it could as well cost her her life.

'Pray do,' the royal physician assistant said to him. 'For that fool will practically put the lady at stake and start to regret his actions later on.' Both of the aides blinked the moment they heard the mere assistant call the emperor a fool.
