"I have booked you for tonight anyway, master. You are going to spend the night with ." said the man with silver hair coming in with so much nonchalance that I wanted to beat his face.
"What do you an?"
"What nonsense are you speaking, Alec?"
and William shouted at the sa ti, while Josephine's sword was already on his neck, ready to slash his neck.
"I an, I have asked his highness that you will help in work tonight as you are injured and can't take part in activities of the knights." he corrected as the sword left a small mark on his neck and a drop of blood oozed out.
"Your highness, I am the chief physician of the royal palace and the genius of the empire. At least, give so respect." he murmured as he held her sword and slowly moved it away from his neck.
He took a deep breath after that and then looked at .
"I just wanted to spend ti with you." he again started spouting nonsense.
"You know you need to learn to speak. And till then keep your mouth shut!" I said , rolling my eyes while I could feel bloodlust coming from both siblings.
"But you have promised and so have you." he looked at and then at William with accusive eyes.
"Fine. there is no need to be so overdramatic! Co with ." I ordered him and he followed like a pet who had finally found his master.
"What is it?" I asked as soon as we entered his room.
I have collected all the herbs. I want you to mix and prepare ointnts in front of my eyes.'' I looked at his authoritative tone and fud.
"You call yourself one of the geniuses of the empire, yet you can not make ointnts?" I asked and he shook his head.
"There are very few books available on herbs, and definitely we can not experint on the citizens. We know the use of many herbs but when we mix them, sotis they do wonder but sotis their properties react opposite. You know how many tis we suffer from poisoning and infection due to trying different herbs on ourselves." he shook his head in disappointnt and then sighed.
"I still wonder how you do that just by looking at the herbs only once."
'Should I say that I have studied dicine all my life. I am from pharma.' I sighed as I looked at the herbs that were covering half of his room.
"Would you remind what I will get if I help you?" I asked to motivate myself.
The man nodded his head.
"You will get the post of an elder in the physician committee and we will help you anyti. With the post even the emperor will respect you." he reassured using the most lucrative tone he could muster and I sighed.
"Fine, but I want you to keep my identity hidden. Tell everyone that I am an old man.`` I replied as I took the herbs in my hand.
"Write down how to look for properties and see if they will react to each other or not. I will not tell you many tis.`` I reminded him and his whole face blood. He sat down there with an inkpot and parchnt in his hands.
"Well, let's start with these two..'' I continued to tell him about the details of the herbs and how I mix them.
His enthusiasm was addictive. I did not realise when I started enjoying it. How much ti had passed when we heard a knock on the door.
I turned only to see William was standing there.
"It has been more than five hours. Little bird, you should go and sleep.'' His tone was strict too and I nodded.
"But we are not done yet!" he grumbled, and I nodded.
"You can not spend the night together, rumors will spread. And this is only the first day. We will be here for years, you can learn slowly." he said in a no nonsense tone.
The man, who claid himself as the genius, grumbled like a kid and then settled on his bed and covered himself with a blanket with a hmph sound.
I could not hold my chuckles as I looked at his antics.
"You should go and sleep, little bird." he repeated and I nodded.
"Did Noah return?" I asked as I still have to see his mood. He was too angry when he left.
"Why? Are you missing your lover that much?" he asked in a sarcastic tone, making stunned for a mont.
"I.."
"Sigh.. he is with your father. He is called for tomorrow's preparation, I think. So, you have to spend tonight without him." he turned and left after saying that, only making frown.
Shrugging my shoulders, i walked to my room and laid on my bed. Only then did I realize how exhausted I was! It only took seconds to fall asleep.
The sound made frown! I could not even sleep now! I tried to avoid them but it continued, making annoyed.
I opened my eyes and walked out of the room stomping my foot. Only to see everyone was leaving.
"Why did you wake up? You have taken leave for today, right?" asked Bella as she looked at herself one last ti in the mirror.
"Where are you going then?" I asked , looking at her as she was dressed too well.
"Oh, you weren't here last night. The new stores of lord Gerard, which are very famous recently. All of them caught fire yesterday. It was told that the maintenance was not proper. But there is a rumor that his competitors have done that. So everyone is going to show empathy to him. I was not going first, but do you rember, the daughter of Earl Frescot, Ailia, asked to co with her. So, I decided to go. I will see you later." She adjusted her pearl set and finally left the room, leaving stunned.
