Novel Full Chapter 26 - Medication
"You got careless, Isn't it?!" said Angus from the corner of the room.
"A-Angus.. How did you…" Before the duke finished his sentence, Angus approach his father and instantly appear in front of him [Beast Walk].
Then, without hesitation Angus grip strongly at his wounded shoulder. The duke immediately felt tremendous pain from it but was still holding it.
Surprised by the sudden grip the duke could only mutter, "A-Angus…"
But, Angus interrupted his father again. "Look at you, the mighty fire dragon can't even react properly towards an eight years old kid attack. What if.. What if… you got attacked by others? What if you died this time? And all of this because of your carelessness!!"
Angus loosened his grip with watery eyes. At this moment, the duke notices that his sons truly care about him and know how serious his wound is.
The father could only hug his sons lovingly. "Angus… I am sorry. I made you worry. Yes, I became more arrogant lately and got careless during my fight."
Then, the boy looked at his father, "P-promise me you will never get careless again!"
"Angus…" [Duke Jacob]
"Promise me!!" [Angus]
"Haa.. Yes, I promise I will never get careless in battle again." '[Duke Jacob]
"Okay, Now let's fix those disgusting wounds in your shoulder." As Angus breaks his hug from his father.
"Angus.. you already kno.."
"Open your clothes and sit here" As Angus told his father to sit in the round chair.
"Angus.. I know you worry about me. But..."
"Sit!!" As Angus glared at his own father.
"Haa… Alright-Alright" As the father reluctantly followed his son's demand while undressing his upper clothes.
Then, Angus began looking at the wound carefully after removing the bandage slowly. The wound has already turned black colored and all the veins near it also begin to turn black. It's like the wound becoming like a parasite eating the duke's body slowly.
After looking for a while, "It's truly a disgusting wound" Said Angus after looking at the wound before closing his eyes.
"See… There's nothing you could do about..." The duke stops his sentence as he feels the fluctuation of mana in Angus's body.
Getting a deep breath, Angus opened his eyes and it changed its color to golden [Searing Eyes]. At this moment, Angus could see every single detail of the wound until it's cell.
The duke startled looking at his son's eye. He knows this is not ordinary enhanced eyes skill. He could feel that the eyes could see everything about him.
After a while, Angus's eyes turn to normal. "You got lucky that it's not at the vital part. Otherwise you are already long gone." Said Angus harshly.
"Now, don't move." As Angus took a bunch of silver thin needles from his space pouch.
"Angus, what's…" before the duke finished his sentence, Angus already used [Searing Eye] and stabbed the shoulder using the needle. *Arrghh*
"What the… That hurt!!" But, Angus only shove a clean fabric towards his father's mouth.
"Bite it. We don't want to make a commotion here, Aren't you?" Before Angus once again pierce the shoulder with another thin needle.
Usually, this thin needle will not give him any pain since his body is in the sixth grade. But, his wound seems to amplify the pain to unbelievable pain.
The duke's feels like every single nerve he has in his body is in pain. However, looking at the serious golden eyes, his son made. He held this pain and bit the cloth.
After dozens of needles punctured the wounded shoulder like a hedgehog, Angus took a sigh while having a sweat around his face.
He removed his father's cloth in his mouth, "I already contain all the miasma so it will not spread and eat in your body. Now, this is the harder part. I want you to..." Angus gives various instructions towards his pained father.
Soon, Angus finished treating his father. He collects all the black colored silver needles and destroys them using his flame spell. Then, he went outside the room while his father already fell asleep in his bed.
The next morning, the duke woke up energetically. He feels his body is full of vigor. Then, he looks at his shoulder where a huge scar is located.
Jacob didn't feel any discomfort or pain that he felt before. Moreover, he feels that his mana is more purer than before.
'All of this is because of one treatment from Angus. Haa.. That boy is really a mystery.' Thought the duke inwardly before taking a bath.
Later the duke went to the dining hall for breakfast and already found his sons waiting for him.
"Morning, father. Are you feeling well, now? you even skip yesterday's dinner." Asked Vergil worriedly.
"Yes, Vergil. In fact, I feel stronger than before." As duke Jacob flexes his arm.
"Really? I am glad that you are okay." [Vergil]
"Alright, let's start eating. I bet my father is also hungry since not eating anything from yesterday afternoon." Urges Angus with his lazy expression.
After a few more pleasantries, they begin to eat their breakfast. During their meal, they also talk about various things about the current capital situation.
Apparently, there will be a noble gathering which will be held by the crown prince like they expected. Since it is unusual for many nobles to gather around at once.
This is a good opportunity for nobles to interact one with another. By interacting it means flaunting their glory or sometimes successor to others.
Every noble that resides in the capital is invited. That includes Angus and others kids with noble backgrounds.
This will be Angus's first time to attend an official gathering like this. Although Angus didn't like this kind of gathering, he didn't have any choice since he was born as noble and needed to follow some etiquette and norm from the noble society.
'Haa.. I guess when you are in Rome you need to do like the romans. What another troublesome event.' Thought Angus inwardly.
After breakfast, the duke Jacob immediately goes away to do his job as a duke in the capital. While the three brothers are doing their own things.
As for Angus himself, he excused himself to his bedroom before lazily sleeping like a log since he can't do any training or doing anything he likes without notifying the others.
