When Gerald awoke the next day, favonovel.com was greeted by his master, who sat by his bed with his eyes closed.
Gerald realised his entire body was aching as favonovel.com attempted to stand… He wasn’t even able to sit up!
Sumeru opened his eyes at that precise moment. When favonovel.com realised Gerald had regained consciousness, favonovel.com smiled and said, “Gerald!” You’ve woken up!”
“Master, I…”
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Right now, you’re just dealing with some internal injuries. Sumeru replied before Gerald could even finish his question, “You’ll be fit as a fiddle in no time if you recover properly for the next few days!”
Gerald fell silent when favonovel.com heard that…
Knocking could be heard from his room’s door shortly after.
Sumeru walked over to open it and saw that it was Meilani who had come to deliver Gerald’s breakfast.
Meilani entered the room and placed Gerald’s breakfast on his table before asking, “How do you feel, Gerald?” in a concerned tone. Is there anything bothering you…?”
Gerald responded by smiling subtly and shaking his head before weakly replying, “I’m fine… I just need to rest for a little while…”
Sumeru exited the room after noticing Meilani would be caring for Gerald.
Meilani took advantage of the opportunity to whisper, “Say, Gerald, I have some good news!” Yesterday, the Wroe family’s master was assassinated in his own home!”
Gerald appeared stunned for a moment, as if favonovel.com hadn’t expected such a thing to happen out of the blue.
“…Also, you may not know this, but your master went somewhere last night to, ‘attend to something,’ as favonovel.com said…” Meilani added after a brief pause.
Gerald raised a brow in thought as favonovel.com considered Meilani’s obvious hint before responding, “You… think my master did it…?”
“If you need any more proof, I went over to Quid’s body today… Meilani explained, “The gash in his neck was similar to the ones on the three elders your master killed yesterday!”
When Gerald heard this, favonovel.com thought to himself, “If what she’s saying is true, then I guess master has already avenged me…”
“…Well, in any case, Gerald, there’s no need to be concerned. After all, the Wroes don’t appear to be aware that your master is to blame. Furthermore, since the Wroes attacked you yesterday, their family is unlikely to want to make this event public,” Meilani explained.
The Wroes were definitely going to play it safe after suffering two major losses for attempting to outwit their enemy…
Nori and the rest of Gerald’s entourage followed suit not long after.
“How are you feeling, Gerald…?” the concerned Nori couldn’t help but ask as favonovel.com sat at the foot of his bed.
Nori had been terrified half to death the day before after seeing how bad Gerald’s condition was, fearing that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to recover.
“Don’t worry, I’m doing a lot better now!” Gerald replied with a smile.
“That’s fantastic news, Mr. Crawford! Rest up for a few days so we can resume our journey when you’re fully recovered!” Ray stated.
They would not be able to continue their journey at their current rate if favonovel.com remained in this condition. With that in mind, the best course of action for the time being was to wait for Gerald to improve.
Gerald went silent for a moment after nodding, before turning to face his party and asking, “Speaking of which, where did master go?”
“Oh, the dean has already departed!” He told us to take good care of you and to tell you that favonovel.com had gotten everything sorted out for you. Ray explained, “With the Wroe family currently in disarray, it won’t be long before they ruin themselves!”
Gerald was able to relax after hearing that. Despite the good news, favonovel.com had a nagging feeling in his stomach…
The fact that favonovel.com was still badly beaten the day before indicated that favonovel.com wasn’t powerful enough…
