A new life for a new problem

Chapter 21

A light pat on the back should have been enough, unfortunately for him in his anger he did not judge his strength correctly and especially Cale's weak body.

The blow made the young master stumble down the stairs before finally falling down the steps.

Neo remained frozen in his movement surprised by what had just happened while Basen ran towards his brother.

Cale was badly lying on the ground but still conscious. Basen helped him sit up so he could check him. 

He could see him wince as he moved, Basen hoped he was not seriously injured. Before seeing his face

"You're bleeding!" Indeed he had a slight cut on his forehead and a huge bruise on his nose with blood flowing continuously.

Basen began to panic, fortunately for him the nobles from the northeast had just arrived, so much the better he needed help.

" Find a doctor!" He shouted at them, the three ran towards the palace.

"Cale, can you hear me? Are you okay?" He didn't get any response, he didn't even seem to hear him. He shook him a little, still nothing.

« He'll probably end up passing out, he must have lost too much blood.» These were Basen's current thoughts as he looked at his brother with concern.

Contrary to what Basen thought, Cale didn't answer, not because he was too dizzy but because he was busy talking to someone. As soon as he became aware of the injuries on his body, he could feel an ancient power activating and trying to heal him. A pain began to appear in his heart like every time he used an ancient power. The more the power tried to heal him, the stronger the pain became, he had to stop the power before it hurt his soul more.

«Please stop...» He tried to communicate with the ancient power, he could feel something rising in his throat at the same time, he suddenly felt like vomiting.

He couldn't stop the natural movement of his body, he ended up coughing to see his hand with traces of blood. He could also feel his body being slightly better after that but he could still feel pain in his nose even though it was better than before.

" It seems that there is a problem with your body..." He could hear a faint voice coming into his mind, the ancient power seemed to have heard it, the pain in his heart was gradually calming down. He made a mental note that he had to talk with the ancient power later when he was alone.

Now that he was no longer in danger of death, he could focus on the scene around him. He could see his friends and his brother looking at him with worry and another man he didn't know.

" Are you feeling well young master?" The man asked him, Cale quickly understood that it was a doctor.

"Yes." He could see everyone around him slightly relax at his answer but he could see them still frowning.

"Cale, you've lost blood and you're injured, how can you say that?!"

He could see that his brother was angry at him but he didn't know why. He couldn't answer Basen, he could feel a hand on his face inspecting his injuries.

"There's no deep wound or broken bones just some blood and bruises." The doctor was a little confused as to why these nobles had him called as if someone would die if he didn't come. He helped the young man up only to see him stumble, now he could see his complexion pale.

"Are you injured anywhere else?" He could hear him say no, making him even more confused. Maybe he didn't realize it on the shock of the moment, he used his healing powers to verify it.

"Why didn't you warn me sooner?!" He helped the young master to sit on one of the steps and handed him a healing potion of the highest quality.

"Is he going to be okay?" Basen asked hesitantly, he didn't answer the doctor there were too many people around them.

"He was lucky the fall wasn't too serious, nor the blood loss. Have you these medicines?"

Basen handed him the box, the doctor gave two pills to his brother who took them immediately.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked the young master once more.

"Yes thank you, I'm still a little dizzy and my head hurts but it's good. » Even the doctor looked at Cale in disbelief before addressing Basen.

"Maybe you should take him home, I could excuse him to his majesty for the evening."

"No need, I'm fine." Of course Cale refused, Basen wasn't even surprised.

"Very well but be careful, you can't recover the blood you lost that quickly. The healing potion has already stopped the bleeding and healed your wounds. You have to be careful, I will be at the palace if you need help at any time." The doctor greeted them before leaving.

"Cale, you should have accepted the doctor's offer!"

His brother ignored him to get up and walk towards the palace, luckily Eric came to help support him. "Thank you-"

"Don't talk I agree with Basen, Cale you are too reckless and clearly not well!" He looked at everyone trying to find someone to agree with him but no one, they all seemed to validate Eric's words.

He ignored them to reach the palace door.

Now that Cale was gone, there was one problem left.

"Young master Neo." Basen could see the young man flinch at his name.

"I saw what you did, Count Hénituse will not let this go." He walked past the young master who had now turned pale. Basen could hear the name of his brother and the northeastern nobles being shouted at the entrance of the palace. He approached waiting for his turn when a guard came to speak to him.

"Young master, I have seen the actions of young master Neo if you need my testimony, I would be happy to help you."

He thanked him before entering, he will solve this problem once they return home, if his father does not receive the information in the meantime.
