Abigail pov contd
"I am afraid to ask but are you a little crazy, my lord?" I asked as I looked at the young man.
He blinked as if he was surprised by my reply and then chuckled.
"Why, what were you expecting then? A monetary benefit of sothing else? I earned more than enough from the royal palace. That is more than enough to keep my seven generations satisfied." he replied with a cute smile.
"I never knew that humans could be satisfied with money. I thought no matter how much they had, they are always filled with greed to have more." just what kind of creature was he!
He laughed again as he moved and sat beside . "You are funny my lady. See, i am a single child in my family and we live a simple life since i am a commoner not a noble, we do not have many needs. I love my work. Saving life and helping people is sothing that I love . It is more important than money for .
When I saw your ointnt it was like a ray of hope in the darkness so I could not stop myself from coming here and eting you." he sighed in the end as if he was suffering from a lot of grievance.
"Since you are appointed in the royal palace, I am sure you know more about herbs and dicine than ." I tried my best to get rid of him, but he was like glue, stuck to and not ready to let go.
"I know, I am great. Sigh! You are right. But I am good at physical injuries and poisoning. I am still studying herbs. And the ointnt you have made is strong. So take as your student and teach about herbs or else.."
"Or else?" I looked at him with narrowed eyes! If he threatened then I would make sure to teach him a lesson.
"Or else I will shift here and continue to follow you everywhere. I will stay with you 24/7. Sleeping on this carpeted floor when you will be asleep. I will not leave you until you say yes." he said with so much enthusiasm that i was sure he would do that if i denied.
I rubbed my head. How did I end up in this predicant!
"I apologise, but I do not think it is possible." I replied , shaking my head.
"And why is that so?" he asked tilting his head, his raised eyebrow was telling no matter what excuse I would give him, he would find a solution to it.
"Because I am going to join the academy from tomorrow for the course of knighthood and I will serve as a knight to your highness in the anti." I replied with full confidence.
"Hmmm" he started rubbing his chin in contemplation and I took a breath of relief. There was no way that the physician of the royal palace could leave the castle and join us in the academy. The tests have already ended so he could not take admission there either.
"So, you an you would have taught if you had ti. You can not teach because you are going to the academy?" he asked in a low and upset tone and I nodded mimicking his upset expressions on my face too.
But the mont I nodded my head, the upset expressions on his face changed into a bright smile.
"That is not a problem then. I will manage to enter the academy." he even clapped his hands in the end to show his delight.
"Wait.. how would you do that? The entrance exam has already ended. In fact, our practical were left too.`` I replied to him, trying my best to dissuade him.
"Oh my, are you so worried about ? Do not worry my lady, it makes embarrassed!" his nose and ears turned red as he said that.
'What the hell! From which eyes did he see worry about him?!! He was like a lost puppy, no matter how much ti you try to get rid of him, you will not be able to do so!
"I just ant to tell you that you should leave the idea." I said through gritted teeth, even Beth who was standing in the corner had to muffle her chuckle. I glared at her and she bowed her head low to not annoy further.
"Oh why? Sigh! You worry a lot, young lady. Co let tell you my plan. He said, patting my head as if I was a kid." but before i could jerk his hand away he took it away himself.
"Each year a whole team goes with the crown prince to serve him in the academy and this ti his majesty has ordered the biggest hut for them since her highness is also joining the academy. So, I will join them as their chef." he said nonchalantly but all I could hear was..
Both William and Josephine, Leo and Noah and those three knights! They all would be together under a single roof with and this monkey who was a narcissist and blind would join them now to be my student there.
"But you are not a chef," I said , a bit more irritated than I wanted to do.
"Oh, I am. I know how to cook every month. I can even repair simple things. As i said i am the single child of my patents and they are old now. So I cooked and did all the necessary things before joining the royal palace last year. If I offer a good deal to his majesty, he would not be able to refuse." he said nonchalantly and then stood up.
"Then I will see you there tomorrow, master." he bowed his head to give respect as a student.
"Hey, i have not accepted you yet.'' I shook my head at his forcefulness.
"Don't you want a na in the dicine field? You know even emperors bow their head in front of us when needed help. Physicians have a strong hold in the empire."
