Chapter 614
"I apologize... I have done my best to change the guest's clothes and wiped away the sweat, even administered the fever reducer three times, but the fever has not subsided. He seemed to be in severe pain, so I gave him painkillers as well, but there has been no improvement yet..."Checkk new novel chapters at novelbin(.)com
Two attendants alternately bowed their heads as they reported Yuder's condition to Kishiar.
Due to an intense fever and pain of unknown origin, Yuder was constantly drenched in sweat. Despite their diligent care and repeated medication, Yuder's suffering appeared to remain unabated, with the fever blossoming over time and even emitting a strange scent from his entire body.
This scent was utterly unlike the musty smell common when ordinary people sweat. Nor did it resemble the fragrance of perfumes used by noblewomen. There are monsters that emit all sorts of scents to lure their prey, but how could such an odd fragrance emanate from a healthy person? Even the experienced attendants, who had weathered numerous incidents in the palace, could not maintain their composure in the face of this situation.
"It seems we may need to call a physician... What should we do?"
Hearing the attendants' report, Kishiar's gaze turned continuously towards the trembling figure.
Yuder saw Kishiar's hand, which had briefly twitched as if to move in his direction, disappear into a tight fist a moment later.
"Calling a doctor would be futile. This is a symptom that only occurs in Awakeners who are experiencing a second gender manifestation."
"Is this manifestation really such a serious matter?"
Noticing Kishiar's knowledge of a second gender manifestation, a fleeting look of sorrow passed through the eyes of the aged attendants. Kishiar smiled, as if to reassure them.
"Not at all. It seems my assistant's manifestation process is simply more intense than others. The heat and the scent may be due to an overlapping heat period, making it more painful."
It was not common, but it wasn't necessarily abnormal. Just as insects shed their exoskeletons at varying speeds, the process of something new forming was naturally arduous. But this state does not persist post-transformation. Once the shedding is complete, maturity is attained. Kishiar jokingly lightened the mood, presenting himself as living proof. The attendants finally relaxed their expressions and laughed along.
"Indeed, after undergoing awakening, Your Grace returned much more formidable and mature. Anyway, it is a relief that you say so..."
"But Your Grace, is there a reason you keep standing outside? Please come in and rest."
Unlike the attendants surrounding Yuder's bed, Kishiar remained motionless beyond the first protective barrier, maintaining a curious distance from the bed, neither fully entering nor withdrawing.
"...No. I will stay here."
"Do you have other matters to attend to soon? Even so, wouldn't it be better to rest for a while?"
...
Kishiar did not answer. As a servant rose to fetch a new towel and warm water, approaching Kishiar's position, Kishiar suddenly shook his head.
"I apologize... but please leave through the opposite door, not this one."
"Eh?"
The servant, who had reflexively expressed his confusion, was taken aback upon looking at Kishiar.
"No, Your Grace. Since when have you been sweating so much? Good heavens. You have perspired as much as that guest over there!"
Up close, Kishiar's forehead and neck were completely drenched in sweat. It was unbelievable that he could maintain a smile and carry on a conversation without showing any sign of his abnormal state.
Kishiar, waving off the panic-stricken attendant, took a deep breath and smiled faintly.
"I'm alright. More importantly, that person's condition is urgent; I would prefer you tend to him. I would like to help personally, but alas, I cannot."
"What nonsense you speak, Your Grace. How could someone of your stature... Nevertheless, I will ensure you need not worry. However, please do not stay here any longer than necessary. You've hardly eaten throughout the party; I shall bring you some refreshments."
"No. Tomorrow holds the first trial of the House of Apeto. I doubt it will proceed as planned, but I must attend nonetheless; my stay cannot be prolonged."
"Then all the more reason not to linger here, wouldn't you agree?"
"Just a little longer. Until it gets better."
"Your Grace..."
"Just a little more."
Yuder opened his eyes.
Beyond the hazy view, he saw Kishiar supporting his body. They were standing in mid-air, over an abyss with nothing below. Around Yuder, a gentle light radiated, enveloping him protectively.
""
"The blessing has done its job well."
Kishiar muttered to the blinking Yuder.
"If you had rolled a bit more, you would have fallen completely off the cliff."
The light surrounding Yuder slowly receded as if confirming his safety. Yuder stared blankly at Kishiar's face, sweating as in a faint memory. Wondering what it meant, Kishiar took a deep breath and spoke.
"I apologize for being late. I thought I was close, but it seems I underestimated my assistants ability to hide"
""
"Nathan has gone to fetch the luggage; just wait a little. I have brought the common sedatives and stabilizers, so if you take those"
Kishiar had the rare experience of not being able to finish his sentence. This was because Yuder silently reached out and wrapped his arms around Kishiar's neck.
A scent, potent enough to make one dizzy, enveloped Kishiar simultaneously. It was a hot, alluring fragrance that, despite its intensity, did not lose the honesty akin to its master.
Kishiar, fighting the urge to embrace him right then, kept silent for a moment before speaking again.
"It must be very difficult to endure, but if you just bear with it a little longer"
"Its not I who is enduring, is it?"
A low, submerged voice tapped at his ears. Within their locked gazes, darkened eyes whispered.
"In front of me, you promised not to hold back any longer, did you not?"
