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.

It was entirely possible that Rafael had caught a severe chill during that time.
