Nang mawalan ang dukesa ng malay matapos gumamit ng mataas na antas ng kapangyarihan at sinubukang pagalingin ang duke, lahat ng tao sa mansyon ay hindi mapalagay. Lahat sila ay nag-aalala sa kalagayan ng mag-asawa.

The knight commanders and the senior wizards are managing and assisting the knights and mages to heighten the borders and House DiMarco’s security now that both the duke and duchess are in vulnerable state. Augustine also strengthen the barriers surrounding the North.

Everyone put their guards up and become observant of the surrounding.

The people are confused of the sudden heavy ambiance enclosing the whole North.

The officials are limiting their movements. Inspection were conducted in every entry and exit of the North.

Walang sino mang mamamayan ang may alam o ideya sa biglaang paghihigpit ng siguridad buong Norte. Haka-haka gaya ng ‘may ispeya ang kalaban na namamalagi sa Norte upang makakuha ng impormasyon’, ‘may mga rebeldeng grupo ang nakapasok ng Norte, nagpapanggap na normal na mamamayan’ at ‘nawawala na naman ang dukesa’ ay umiikot at lumilipad sa bibig ng mga tao.

When merchants and nobles asked for explanation, they received nothing but silence from the officials.

After passing out for releasing immense magic to heal Zealand, despite in her weak state, she force her body up from the bed.

She need to see him. Hindi niya alam kung tama ba ang ginawa niyang pagpapagaling o nagising na ba si Zealand. She wants to make sure he’s okay.

Kahit ramdam niya ang panghihina ng kanyang katawan ay pinilit niyang lumabas ng kwarto at nagmamadaling naglakad papunta sa silid nilang mag-asawa.

“Your grace,” tawag ni Rosia ng makita si Anna.

“How is the duke?” Mga salitang unang lumabas sa bibig ni Anna.

“Hindi parin po nagigising ang duke, your grace.” Agad na inunahan ni Rosia sa paglakad si Anna saka dahan-dahang binuksan ang pinto ng kwarto kung saan naroroon ang duke.

“Your grace.”Ani ng isang healer mage basi sa pin na nakasabit sa suot nitong uniporme. Base on his insignia, he’s a high ranking healer from the royal palace.

Agad siyang lumapit sa kama at umupo sa tabi ni Zealand.

Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Rune at Baxter na nagulat pa ng makita siya. Their eyes shows concern and worries.

“Your grace.” Sabay na bati ng dalawa pero hindi niya nilingon ang mga ito. Her eyes settled on Zealand’s face.

He’s still pale. There’s a little cracks on his lips due to it's dryness caused by dehydration.

“You should rest to regain all your strength, your grace. You lose a huge amount of mana causing your body to fell in exhaustion. ” Nag-aalalang ani Rune.

“How many hours was I asleep?” She asked.

Kinuha niya ang tela na nakapatong sa bedside table at pinunasan ang noo ni Zealand. His sweats are starting to build up.

She turn around to Rune, frowning. No one answer her question. Her forehead creases when she saw hesitation in their faces.

They must have felt her irritation since Rune seemed to found his voice to answer.

“You’re asleep for two days, your grace.”

“Huh?” She asked, confused.

“Your body was exhausted, your grace. Hindi nakayanan ng inyong katawan ang paggamit ninyo ng mataas na antas ng kapangyrihan-”
