The Immortal's Merman

🔱Chapter 18🔱

Man rushed into the second Deity's residence head straight for Sarawat's study room. He opened the door painting and sweating which means he was running. Sarawat was startled when he heard the door to his study opened forcefully, he was confused when he saw Man in that condition sweating like he ran from the palace to his place.

"Y.. your highness, your mother she...she" Man started but was cut off by Sarawat.

"What happened to her, tell me!" Sarawat shouted as he drops the book he was reading and stood up immediately his mother was mentioned.

"Her condition is getting worse" Man said catching his breath.

"What..But she was fine when I saw her last time" Sarawat said panicking, even though he doesn't care about anybody, the one he cares about the most is his mother. Sarawat magically teleported to the palace immediately. He appeared in front of his mother's residence in the palace, the maids were running about in the residence in the palace, some carrying buckets of cold and hot water to mix and get a warm one, some carrying what looks like a tray filled with herbs and tonic medicines while the rest were standing at the front door In case for any errand they were to go. Sarawat forcefully opened the door to his mother's room, seeing his mother lied on the bed critically, his heart thumped in fear of losing her.

"Mother!" Sarawat called and rushed to her bed and touched her hand that was placed on top of the blanket that she was covered with.

He felt her hand and it was going a little cold and panicked"what are you idiots doing, call the imperial physician to treat her" Sarawat shouted at them frustrated.

"Your highness, your highness refused treatment because the king refused to let the imperial physician come to her aid" his mother's personal maid explained trembling because of the angry glares from Sarawat.

"Why...why didn't he want to" Sarawat asked again not paying attention to his mother's hand that tells him to calm down.

"He said it's just a small sickness that it will be gone in a few days, that there's no need summoning the imperial physician on such a small sickness that we should invite the local one" the maid said in one go but slowly to let the prince understand her words.

"Sarawat please calm down, it will be okay it's just a small sickness hm" Sarawat's mother said trying to calm her son down but will it work....

"What do you mean, small sickness mum. Father knows how sick you are, yet he's saying it's just a small sickness" Sarawat shouted again and stood up immediately.

"Where are you going Sarawat" his mother asked worried that he may confront the majesty about it.

"To talk to father" Sarawat said and left almost immediately avoiding his mother's pleas on not to meet him.

Sarawat entered his father's room but he wasn't there, so he went to the throne room and found him there sitting like a king he is but to Sarawat he's no king after what he told his mother.

"Father, why did you prohibit the imperial physician to attend to mother" Sarawat asked immediately he entered the throne room.

"Have you forgotten your manners prince, how can you forcefully barge in here and ask questions to me as you see fit" the king shouted dropping the scroll he was reading down on the table in front of him.

"Then I'm sorry your majesty if you weren't given the respect you need from me because, I'm curious your majesty, why you didn't send the imperial physician to check on her, or you want her to die then, isn't it your majesty" Sarawat said harshly.
