He hadn’t imagined it. Not in the slightest. Just a week ago, hadn’t he been treated as less than a pebble on the road? Aeryl could still vividly remember the indifferent gaze that had barely reacted when he’d nearly been trampled by the Grand Duke’s horse. And the morning after the rut? He’d been thrown to the ground, chair and all, and had his chest stomped on while being shouted at. Yet now, that same Grand Duke was worrying about him. And that was entirely thanks to Aeryl himself.…- 279.4 K • Completed
- However, the Knights Commander and Innis were exceptions. While betas were slower to react than Aeryl, they too felt an instinctive fear from the Grand Duke’s pheromones. Paralyzed by sheer terror, they couldn’t even breathe. They couldn’t protect themselves—couldn’t even grasp what they were afraid of. “Your Grace!” Aeryl quickly grabbed the Grand Duke’s arm. Fortunately, he hadn’t lost his reason, and as soon as Aeryl intervened, he reined in his emotions. The fierce pheromones…

- How much time had passed? Aeryl was exhausted. Constantly using his head and casting healing magic had long pushed him beyond his physical limits. Still, he gritted his teeth, forcing his eyes to stay sharp and biting his lips to hold on. He healed and healed again. His focus was absolute, with no room for stray thoughts. Then, at some point, Aeryl finished healing the patient in front of him and raised his head. ‘Who needs treatment next…?’ He looked around for patients who hadn’t…

- Aeryl stood at the bedside. In the meantime, another injured person was carried in, and Kyla moved toward that one. The medics laid the wounded man on a bed. The first patient was a porter. One of his legs had been torn off by a ghost wolf, and his body was covered in bruises. ‘Thrown aside after being bitten? Treat the bleeding first…’ Even as Aeryl made his diagnosis, blood poured out endlessly. His heart pounded from the shock of the situation. Focus. He bit his lip and quickly got…

- The morning of the seventh day of the purge had arrived. After seeing off the combat unit, Aeryl returned to his tent. Not long after, Innis came to find him. “Excuse me.” Innis sat on the edge of the bed. Since her condition was a secret, they had agreed to treat her in short, private sessions like this. “How did you feel after heading back last night once we finished the treatment?” “Hmm. I was alright. I did a patrol and passed by the infirmary… The smell of antiseptic made me a…

- Even when it was clearly their own fault, the people Aeryl had known would throw fits and blame others without hesitation. That was the default—the Emperor, Empress, other royals, even the nobles were all the same. He had assumed the Grand Duke was just another one of them—authoritative and unaccountable. So his apology had been a shock. ‘Was I wrong about him?’ Should he test it? “No, Your Grace. I was the rude one, letting my temper get the better of me. You had every right to be…

- “An emergency situation?” “It’s when a patient is in such a serious condition that the military doctor can’t handle it alone, or when a large number of patients show up at the same time.” “I see.” “When you’re out on the Great Purge, there’s always at least one emergency. It doesn’t hurt to be careful.” “Yes. I’ll be careful.” Aeryl accepted Jenx’s advice. He treated the patients who needed to be sent back into rotation starting tomorrow first, then sat down…

- “Ahem, come this way.” geowong beckoned to Hakyung, who was looking around like a student on a field trip. Hakyung quickly moved his feet toward the man calling him. “You can use any room here.” “Sorry?” “They’re all empty, so pick whichever you like.” At his words, Hakyung tilted his head in confusion. This was supposed to be a staff dormitory… but they were all empty? Why build such a fancy place if no one was using it? “What about the other employees’…

He never got tired of seeing him every day. That look of despair in his eyes, the way his body grew thinner and more pitiful—it made him want to immortalize it in a painting. But no painting could ever truly capture the real thing. Cowering by the kitchen, glancing around nervously just to beg for a single piece of bread. Curled up like a street beggar, asleep. Reduced to such a wretched state, stripped of even the most basic needs, sinking endlessly into humiliation. And yet, what amazed him…- 183.7 K • Completed
- It would be good to run a blood test. Aeryl swallowed hard. Even so, drawing blood without permission is… No, this is an emergency, isn’t it? But still… shouldn’t a doctor be able to accurately assess the patient’s condition? Only then can treatment begin! Yes. This is all for the patient’s sake. Aeryl quickly rushed off and came back with a syringe and needle. “Let’s just take a quick sample of blood.” He hummed to himself as he brought the needle to the Grand…
