"Meeting adjourned." Nickolai dismissed the court.
He had just announced that noble will have to pay higher tax, to help the people of the kingdom who had suffered from the disease.
Upon hearing that, all of the minister face turn grim.
Nickolai excuses himself with Gulten walking beside him. Marquis Xander took the opportunity to talk to him.
"Your highness, I think you should considered your decision about the tax...."
"If you had anything to discuss bring that matter to the next court time." Nickolai cuts in as he walk towards his carriage.
Gulten help him enter the carriage.
Once the carriage left, Marquis Xander approaches Gulten.
"Where's His Highness off to?" Marquis Xander notice the crown prince seem to be in a hurry.
"The crown prince is on his way to the sanitarium." Gulten stated as he then left, not wanting to answer anymore questions.
Leaving Marquis Xander pondering.
At the sanitarium, Irene checked up to her other patients.
While others physician took some time to rest, Michael saw Irene still working non-stop.
"Your highness, I think you should take a rest now. All of them are out of danger, you don't need to be on the lookout anymore." He tries to persuade him.
"No, it alright. After this, I still need to brew a new batch of medicine." Irene continue to check the next patient.
Seeing how willful she is, Michael could only accompanied her. Just as she was checking one of the patients, Michael saw a bruises on her white wrist.
"Your highness, your hand..." Michael tries to reach her hand.
Irene quickly pull away when she realises her mistake. She's been to busy too care about her appearance, that her bruise unknowingly shown.
"I...I should go...go check on the holy priest." Irene hurriedly left that chamber.
Michael didn't stop her as she leaves. He began to doubt her relationship with the crown prince.
At the Marquis household, Lady Alma heard from her father about the crown prince destination.
"At the sanitarium?"
"Yes, I heard the troops from the red zone has returned. I wonder if the holy priest has arrived?" Marquis Xander ponders.
"Maybe I should go pay a visit there, father. We could provide them any supplies at the sanitarium." Lady Alma suggested.
"That's a wonderful idea. But beware of the patients there, you don't want to be infected by that disease." Marquis Xander reminds her.
"Of course, father." Lady Alma smiles as she ready herself to go out and meet the crown prince.
Meanwhile, Irene trying to sort her thoughts as she enters the chamber, where Lucas is.
She began to check his temperature. His body is no longer trembling and it seems his fever has subsided.
Lucas suddenly coughed.
Irene was surprised.
"Wa....(cough)...wa....ter..."
Hearing that, Irene quickly took a cup of water and help him up so he can easily drink from it.
Once he quench his thirst, he started to cough again.
