Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1290

In Salvador's study, one of the royal physicians, Robert Lester, bowed respectfully as he reported on Rafael's condition.

Two hours earlier, Matthew had arrived at the Royal Medical Department, bearing the Hell Monarch's emblem. He reported that Rafael had suddenly collapsed at the Supreme Court after vomiting blood. As the incident was sudden, it was soon reported to Salvador.

"Your Majesty, my diagnosis suggests that it was a sudden heart ailment. The situation was rather grave. When I arrived, Prince Rafael had already fainted, and it took some time before he regained

consciousness after needle treatment. However, he was unable to move and had to be taken back to his estate by carriage.'

"Why would he have a sudden heart issue? He never mentioned suffering from heart problems before," Salvador said, furrowing his brow.

Despite his concern, there was a sense of wariness. After all, they were brothers by blood-caution was a natural instinct, but it was mostly precautionary.

"Mr. York told me that His Highness has not been resting properly since his return from his trip away. He had bouts of coughing and complained of a heaviness in his chest, though he didn't pay it much attention. I suspect that an untreated cold invaded his heart, which caused the heart ailment," Robert explained. Salvador recalled Rafael's previous report from Lunvale, where he and the others had spent several days in the mountains, enduring freezing nights with limited fire for warmth. It was entirely possible that Rafael had caught a severe chill during that time.

But questions still lingered in Salvador's mind.

"If it was simply a cold, how did it not worsen over time? The symptoms should have escalated. Why did they remain so mild that they were ignored?" he asked.

eyes darkened, his mind a swirl of thoughts. It took a long moment for him to dismiss Robert. Once the physician had taken his leave, Salvador's gaze turned toward Derek, who stood nearby with a
