Chapter 1319

A bowl of chicken noodle soup was placed before Rafael, but it was nowhere near enough to fill the emptiness in his stomach.

Louis mentioned that he had ordered roasted lamb and skewers, and that there was no shortage of rich food now. It was nothing like the days when the Southern Frontier was struggling. Even the common folk could afford meat these days.

Rafael shakily picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one go. The broth was salty, and he followed it with a whole jug of water. Slumping into his chair, he felt his strength gradually returning, though there was still an odd sensation, as if he were still bouncing on horseback.

The faces around him seemed to blur and retreat. He had to focus to make out their features.

Alec’s voice cracked with emotion. “Your Highness, you look utterly exhausted.”

Rafael rubbed his cheek. “Have the medic give me needle treatment for my face. It feels like it’s been blown off–kilter.”

Everyone took a closer look and indeed noticed that Rafael’s face was slightly askew.

Louis spoke up. “Marshal Sanford, you haven’t rested the entire way at all, have you?”
