Chapter 561: The Catlike Mage vs The Doglike Knight

In his determination to tell Irene how he felt, Henry had forgotten that he promised to see Siverly after his first meal. The mage was only allowing him to return to life as normal as long as he allowed him to check on his healing. Henry had already failed to keep up his end of the deal. He was certain Siverly was going to be annoyed. 

After Jakob explained that the mage was looking for him, Henry quickly excused himself and went outside to go to the infirmary. 

The commander knocked a few times and, after a short wait, the door creaked open and Siverly stood, his thin arms crossed over his body as he narrowed his eyes at Henry. 

"Thought you could get out of this, but I'm onto you, your grace," Siverly uttered before moving out of the way so Henry could enter. 

"I assure you, I thought nothing of the sort," Henry said with his hands raised. "I merely got caught up doing something else."
