Chapter 170 - [Bonus ]



Abigail pov.

"Dumb wit, idiot. Fool.." I continue to curse him. "He is surely suffering from menopause. Such kind of mood swings, hmph!" could he not see that i was in such a bad condition.

​​

My clothes were torn and dirty. My whole body has many injuries. And my face was covered with dust, my hair was disheveled.

"At least he could offer me a bath." I muttered again. As I sniffed myself. I smelled awful, it was after a long time that I felt like that.

I sighed again and closed my eyes. Let it be. It was not like it was the first and last time that I looked like that. As a knight, this was going to be a matter of daily occurrence. So, better that I close my eyes and take some rest.

"My lady. We are here." I groggily opened my eyes and blinked a few times to get my vision clear.

The sun was already shining high in the sky, yet I was feeling tired to the bones and wanted to sleep silently. 

I nodded and dragged my exhausted body out of the carriage. 

The servants looked at me with surprise but they did not dare to raise their voice or ask questions. 

I walked out straight to my chamber and fell on my bed with a thud.

"Ouchh" it was painful even when the mattress was soft.

"My lady, what happened to you?" asked Beth as she walked towards me with worried eyes.

"I fell from the horse while following a prey. Beth can you prepare bath and also inform the royal physician.\'\' I did not want to waste my further energy in making stories, so I kept the encounter short.

She nodded and left the room. After a while I walked to the bath with two other maids. One worked on my hair, the other messaged my sore shoulders.

"My lady, a royal physician, is here. But.."

"But what?" I asked , still keeping my eyes closed. The message and warm water felt so good over my skin that I did not want to wake up at all.

"The physician from the royal palace is also here and he is requesting a private meeting with you." my eyes snapped open at this sudden request.

"Did he state the reason for the visit?" I asked as I did not remember encountering the physician of the royal palace in both of my lives.

Beth shook her head, "he said that you want to keep things hidden, and he did not want to offend you." 

That increased the three lines formed on my forehead.

"What kind of nonsense is this?" I was annoyed yet I still stood up and left the bathing pool.

All three of them walked behind me and helped me in dressing up.

I specifically choose a white backless dress so that dressing up my injury would be easy. When I walked into the room, there was only a young man around 19 years old sitting.

I looked around but there was no one.

"Good afternoon, my lady," he wished me, bringing my attention back to him.

"Umm, good afternoon. By any chance do you know where his royal physician went? I hope I have not asked him to wait for a long time?" I asked as I looked at the boy.

He had silver hair that was too difficult to find around. And his eyes were golden, warm and sweet.

"I am the physician, my lady. I was the omw who requested you for oa meeting." he replied with a cheerful smile but i was having a hard time believing it.

I looked at Beth and she nodded and only then did I sighed. Well, it was not like I knew him.

"Yes, tell me, how can I help you?" I asked with the same smile but his eyes moved from me to my maids as if asking what they were doing here!

"You all can go.\'\' I was sad and his eyes finally relaxed and a smile bloomed on his lips.

"Thank you for filling my strange demand, my lady." he said with a bright smile.

"It is fine. Can you tell me now, why did you want to meet me now?" I asked as I took a seat near him.

"Yes, I am here to meet a genius in front of me. And at the same time i wait to know why you are hiding your skills and talent?" He asked if I had committed some crime.

"Pardon, but i did not understand a word that you are speaking.\'\' I replied back but the man was not at all affected.

The way he was talking I was feeling fear crept in my heart. 

"I mean your talent in the field of medicine. It did not look like the ointment was made by mistake or its perfectness was a fluke. I have studied it well before coming here. It was the work of a genius.\'\' He said standing up from his seat and standing in front of me as if the table in the middle was obstructing his way of watching me.

That dumb man! I made a mistake treating him. How could he distribute the medicine that was also used on his skin?! Could he not just wash like me before going to the physician. And this! The strange man studying in front of me!

Should he not be jealous and try to hide the fact that someone has made an ointment that surpasses his talent as the royal physician.

In fact he just came here bragging telling me that I was a genius! Well at least he knew that I did not want to tell it to others.

"I think you are making a mistake. I just read about it in a book that has a trick on how to survive in the forest when you are alone.`` I knew that I was lying, but I was sure that he would have taken a bath by now.

In the absence of proof. He could not do anything even if he knew that I was lying. With that thought I felt reassured.

"Oh my.. You do not need to lie to me. I will not tell anyone else about this at all. I swear on the name of my family.\'\' He touched his chest with his one hand and took out a small glass bottle from the other hand.

That contained the sample of ointment I was hoping was gone.

"Then why are you even here? Take it that the matter was never raised and we have never met. Now I have escaped a bigger accident last night, I want to take a rest.`` I replied a bit rudely this time.

  I did not like to get entangled in things more than I needed to and this man was looking for trouble just by the look on his face.

"I am here to see the genius with my own eyes and assure you that your secret is safe with me just by one condition." he said with a smile and i frowned.

"So you have a condition to keep things hidden that was not there in the first place. Are you trying to threaten me? Do you even have any idea I could kiss you right here and then you would not be able to speak a single word ever again." my voice went an octave higher and filled with blood lust but the man continued to stand there unperturbed.

"I know your prowess, my lady. I have heard a lot about you all this time. But since i am not interested in martial skills. I never paid heed to it. But this time it is about medicines so I am bound to notice.

But you are taking my words wrong. I am not here to threaten you, my lady. I am here to give you a proposal. And I am sure once that you will listen to it calmly, you will agree to it right away." he said calmly instead of the bloodlust my body was showing.

I realized that he was a strong man. Instead of his tiny frame, he survived the strong gaze and pressure of my throat easily.

"Fine, tell me what your deal is?" I said, taking a deep breath. I did not want to increase the problems I already have and it was not like I could really kill him.

"I knew you would agree to it." he chirped as he held my hand.

I frowned as I took my hand back from his rasp.

"I did not agree to anything yet. I am just listening to it, only then will I decide.`` I replied to his clingy behavior but he was not affected at all. He nodded his head with a big smile as he opened his mouth.

"Take me as your student and teach me about medicines." he said as he kneeled in front of me and held my hand with all his might.

"........"
