บท 140: He Is Engaged?

"Erich, you are here. Is it that time already?" the King asked in an easygoing manner, talking to the old physician as if they had been friends for a long time.

Oriana bowed as Erich responded irritably, "You know the schedule best. Don't tell me your butler did not remind you."

Erich told the King to go towards the bed and started examining his condition, monitoring his body temperature, pulse and breathing while asking about how the King felt after drinking his new medicines. Because of their conversation, Oriana was able to learn that the King's name was Ailwin, while the Queen was Julien.

As the patient and physician talked, others kept quiet. Oriana never spoke as well, only assisting her master by handing him the items from the case when he asked for them. 

Because of the medicines Erich gave him, Ailwin soon grew drowsy and drifted to peaceful sleep. All stepped out of the King's chamber without making a single sound.
