Chapter 185: Friendship Over Love?

"Your Highness, the royal doctor told me to inform you that Commander Iria has woken up."

It had been two days since Princess Athena Valen returned to Nathania and Crown Prince Zaro was going through some reports in his chamber when one of the soldiers on duty near Iria's chamber informed him of the news.

In a split second, relief and happiness washed through the Jerivian Crown Prince who had been looking after the Commander for more than a week now. He abruptly rose from his seat and rushed to the chamber where Iria was treated.

Rushing inside, the Crown Prince's gaze first landed on his friend who was still lying on the bed just like the past week. However, this time it was different. Her eyes were opened and he even saw her darting them to him at the sound of the door. Though her eyes were barely opened, at least they didn't appear too lifeless.
