Prince William
"Didn't William hire a famous doctor before?" asked Daemon.
"His Highness was poisoned three months ago and fell gravely ill. After a great deal of effort, we finally managed to hire a renowned doctor from Solarain. She was incredible. In two months, not only did she cure His Highness, but she also mentioned that there was a possibility of his legs making a recovery. After that, she had to return to Solarain to find some herbs, so His Highness arranged for her to take the royal cruise. And yet…"
Robin sighed.
"Are you talking about the cruise incident that happened a while ago in Lightspring?" Harrison asked in shock.
"Indeed." Robin nodded. "To avoid speculation, we had the media announce that the explosion had occurred inside a business cruise. It was actually the royal Danontand cruise."
Harrison turned to Daemon with a complicated look on his face.
Daemon fell into thought for a moment before suddenly asking, "Did the doctor William hired so happen to be Derilo?"
"Yes, " the butler answered softly. "Mr. Lierger, please keep this – "
"Robin!"
A charming voice suddenly interrupted Robin.
"Good day, Your Highness, " Robin immediately greeted after walking over.
A young man looking to be in his twenties showed up in a wheelchair. He looked slightly frail, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in his blue eyes. His face looked rather pale, too.
Even so, none of that could mask the man's gorgeous face – or his noble presence.
"Mr. Lierger!" William nodded. "It's been a while."
"Long time no see, William." Daemon smiled faintly.
"I should have been the one visiting you, but given the state I'm in, it's unfortunate that I had to make you come over instead, " the former said apologetically.
"Don't say that. We're friends, aren't we?" Daemon was never a huge fan of pleasantries. "Shall we head in?"
"Of course! This way."
The man entered the castle, enjoying some coffee while discussing matters regarding a collaboration.
"Are you not feeling well, Mr. Lierger?" William asked, having noticed something off about Daemon.
"Just a small injury, " the latter responded casually.
William frowned. "You don't look too good. It's not actually a small injury, is it? Why don't you get some rest for now? We can talk when you feel better."
"It's fine, " Daemon refuted while taking out the document he had read earlier. "I've gone through this and signed it."
"All right."
Robin took the document and gave it to William with both hands.
William then penned his signature on the paper and embedded the royal Danontand seal without even going through the contents.
"You're not going to read it?" Daemon raised an eyebrow.
"We're friends who've worked with each other for years. Can't I trust you?" William smiled. "I always make a buck whenever you're involved!"
Daemon let out a rare chuckle. "Thank you for your trust."
"I'll be sure to aid you in your goals to take over the Epean market, " William said earnestly. "It's about time we kick Pastor off his high horse!"
"Have a good rest. We have an important show tomorrow night."
With a smirk, Daemon prepared to leave.
"Are you not joining the banquet?" asked William.
"I just want to get some rest, " Daemon replied without looking back.
"I understand. Take good care of Mr. Lierger and his employees, Robin."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Robin personally led the way. "This way, please, Mr. Lierger."
Daemon took off his coat as soon as he entered his room, his entire back now covered in sweat.
He's sweating like this again? The fever must have come back.
Harrison hurriedly instructed someone to look for Derila.
At this very moment, the woman had just come out of the shower and was drying her hair while in a bathrobe.
Before she could even put her bedroom slippers on, Kerrie came barging in, and the former hastily wore her mask.
