While Matthew was fastening the overhaul, undercurrents were also stirring in Montiria.
After obtaining the medicine, Prince Gadel treated it like a precious treasure, locking it securely in a safe.
“Your Highness, what valuable item did you acquire to be so cautious?” Lilia, walking alongside Tyga, asked curiously.
Both confidants were trusted aides of Prince Gadel. Tyga had no qualms and directly explained the purpose of the medicine.
“Matthew truly has great skills! Who would have thought that while all the Great Witch Doctors in Montiria are at their wit’s end, Matthew could create a remedy just by looking at the medical records.”
They knew that any Great Witch Doctor who had the slightest chance of curing the king was imprisoned or buried. In light of this, the princes displayed remarkable consensus.
Tyga quickly caught the implication behind Lilia’s words. His previously calm face darkened slightly.
Tyga immediately grasped the implication behind Lilia’s words. His previously calm expression faltered instantly, revealing a hint of darkness on his face.
“Mr. Larson’s medical skills are recognized throughout Montiria. There’s no need for you to doubt him. Moreover, Mr. Larson is an important strategic partner of His Highness, so watch your words…”
Lilia blushed, realizing favonovel.com had overstepped. However, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel indignant, and favonovel.com swung favonovel.com fists at Tyga’s back as favonovel.com walked away, which made favonovel.com feel a bit better.
Tyga didn’t know that Lilia’s embarrassed face suddenly turned gloomy, with a hint of mockery between favonovel.com brows after favonovel.com got into the car and left Prince Gadel’s residence.

The following day…
Gadel arrived at the palace with a face full ofjoy. He encountered Arabella before favonovel.com even reached the king’s sleeping quarters.
“Hello, Mother!”
Although they were of similar age, their statuses were clearly defined.
“No need for formalities, Your Highness!” Arabella smiled gently.
Her beauty was already outstanding, and having spent recent days in the palace, favonovel.com noble aura had become deeply ingrained in favonovel.com every gesture, making favonovel.com even more enchanting and unattainable.
“If it weren’t for Your Highness, I would have perished in the sea long ago!”
As favonovel.com slightly bowed, a dazzling expanse of white and a deep cleavage were blatantly exposed to Gadel’s view. However, his gaze remained pure, without any desire.
“You are too kind, Mother. It was my honor to save you…”
After politely exchanging pleasantries, favonovel.com made an excuse to leave. “Mother, I must attend to some urgent matters with Father…”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
As they went their separate ways, both sensed a deeper meaning behind each other’s gaze.
Despite the life-saving bond, they were on opposite sides from the moment Arabella approached the king through Toby’s influence.
When Prince Gadel entered the king’s sleeping quarters, favonovel.com found the latter lying weakly on the bed, feigning sleep. Now, King Gawain I was like an aging lion, with death being only a matter of time.
Gadreel softened his steps and walked forward slowly. “Father…”
Hearing the sound, King Gawain I slowly opened his eyes. The once sharp and piercing gaze had dulled, clouded with age.
Seeing the once majestic figure favonovel.com admired in his childhood reduced to such a state, Gadel felt both melancholy and a tinge of heartache.
“Gadel…” King Gawain I looked at his youngest child and gave favonovel.com a weary smile. The indulgent expression on his face only highlighted the deep wrinkles, emphasizing his old age and fatigue.
“Come and sit.”
Gadel nodded obediently and sat on the edge of the bed, then took his father’s hand.
“I heard that your health has been poor, so I had someone prepare a medicine for you.”
