First wiz prince’s mansion,
Phoenix’s chamber,
On entering with the doctor, Peter announced amidst pants, “I’ve brought him!”
He quickly let go of the doctor who was feeling a bit woozy from Peter’s race up the stairs earlier. As a doctor, his priority was to save lives, so he was only as strong as an average wizard in terms of fighting prowess.
Training his powers was also at leisure time because he was always busy with research and treating patients. Never in his life had he been treated the way this second prince did today. But, he couldn’t complain, right?
Now that he was on his feet again, he shook his head before heading towards the bed.
Seated beside it were the King and his wife, wearing anxious faces. And seated in the large bed that lacked any covers, which was rather odd, was a beautiful, red-haired young woman, who was as tall as a giant-even while seated, she was still taller than him!
‘What the hell?’ he exclaimed internally. He didn’t let his face reflect his surprise though. He maintained a cold look. There was a magenta-haired male who was seated on the female’s lap, using her left arm as a headrest. The two of them lacked a shred of clothing.
The heavily perspiring male who was being soothed by this edgy, pale-faced giant female was the first prince. Considering the news that flew around weeks ago, this young woman must be his mate. She was this tall; How would they go about their lovemaking?
It wasn’t his business; He wasn’t here to pry into matters that didn’t concern him.
The first prince’s eyes were tightly shut, his lips did not cease trembling, while his mate whispered words of comfort, fighting the urge to cry. But one tear was quite sneaky. It cascaded down her left cheek and turned into a pearl before bouncing off her chest onto the floor. This proved to the physician that she was indeed of the mermaid clan.
He, however, could see a blur on certain parts of their bodies, one that was usually a privilege only to wolf bloods. Only wolf blood doctors and their parents can see a wolf blood’s nudity apart from his or her mate. He was a wiz doctor and he had no such privilege.
Realizing this shocking fact, his eyes widened for a second but he regained his calm in no time. He’d better not act in a way that’d cost him his head; He was here to treat, not die!
“Doctor Alstein,” the monarch acknowledged him.
The physician saluted the king respectfully and also the queen. Then he sat beside the bed on the left side on a brown wooden stool he’d taken out from his first spatial ring on his right index finger.
“Your Highness, how are you feeling?” he questioned softly via voice transmission technique.
“Terrible…” Phoenix managed to reply via voice transmission.
“Don’t worry your highness. I’ll make you better in no time, okay?” the doctor whispered comfortingly and Phoenix managed to nod.
“Good boy,” he smilingly praised. When the physician attempted to read Phoenix’s pulse, he was stopped by Lavana.
“His pain will increase if you touch him,” she notified, deep worry laced on her face.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What?” the doctor exclaimed in surprise. He’d never seen such a thing before, although it was familiar somewhat.
He decided to put on special white gloves before holding Phoenix’s right hand. But to his shock, the gloves turned to ashes, falling off his hands. His eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Now he could understand why the couple on the bed lacked clothes.
‘Power imbalance! This is serious!’ he thought solemnly.
“Ok, I get it. At least let me touch him, just once,” he entreated but Lavana shook her head. She wouldn’t want anything that would increase her mate’s suffering.
“Lavana dear, let him do his job. I won’t die, okay?” Phoenix mind linked his mate weakly.
“This…” Lavana looked unwilling.
“Please…” Phoenix requested with a weaker tone via telepathy.
“Doctor, he’s permitted you to do your duties,” Lavana said with a sigh of defeat.
With that, the doctor began to do the needful.
A few seconds later,
Phoenix coughed out a lot of blood and his body started jerking as he let out a heartbreaking scream. Blood also flowed out of his mate’s mouth and she felt intense pain all over her body, ten times more than the one she was already enduring before the doctor’s arrival.
“You bastard! How dare you hurt my mate?” Lavana growled, launching an ice chain at him unexpectedly. It wrapped around the frightened doctor’s neck.
“Dear, calm down,” the anxious queen beseeched. It was her first time seeing her daughter-in-law use her powers and looking this enraged.
“He’s hurting my mate…” Lavana whimpered emotionally, not exerting any more force on the ice chain.
“Let go of him, dear,” the king requested anxiously and after a while, Lavana hesitantly obeyed, destroying the connection between her and the ice chain, causing it to vanish.
Though he was now free of the chain, he couldn’t help but feel chills run severally down his spine. This princess-to-be was terrifying!
From what he’s seen, the pain the first prince’s eating, his mate is also eating a measure of it, and it’s breaking her heart to see her beloved mate like this. Now the thing is, he wants to help out but he can’t touch him without the situation worsening. This case…
He quickly took out a black wooden table from his first space ring and then brought out a large white medical box from his third space ring and opened it after undoing a simple-looking but rather intricate array that was cast on its lock.
Now that it was open, all could see many bottles of different sizes- some transparent, others of different colours- containing liquids and pills, neatly arranged inside.
The physician took out a black bottle and removed the lid, quickly pouring out three peach-coloured pills. He put them in a small golden pot taken out of his first space ring. He placed the pot atop the table, removed its lid and cleaned its interior with a special golden leaf taken out of his second storage ring.
Then, he took out three transparent bottles, each containing three blue, green and yellow liquids. He quickly poured their contents into the pot. After that, he took out a translucent zaffre-coloured bottle containing a white powdered substance. He put a quarter of its content into the pot too.
Afterwards, the doctor took out five more bottles from the box and poured out a pill from each of them. He placed the five pills into the pot and then asked Peter to go out and boil them quickly. As Peter made to take the pot from the doctor, Phoenix’s mate spoke up, halting Peter in his tracks.
“No need. I can do that!” the impatient Lavana disclosed.
