And so, Sebastian, the renowned physician sought after by many, was called to the Capital Guard headquarters.

After examining Gerald, he retrieved a vial of medicine and administered it to him before performing needle treatment. Within 15 minutes Gerald stirred and began to sweat, his fever finally breaking somewhat.

Sebastian stepped outside to speak with Carissa for a moment.

“That’s a clever plan! I’ll inform Lord Malcolm right away,” Carissa said, then hurried off.
