FAZER LOGINDAMIAN:I eventually led the wise man to my chamber, where Lady Astrid was still resting, so he could examine her properly and perhaps discover something that the rest of us had failed to notice. I was hoping that having him see her condition for himself would give us a better understanding of what was happening to her and, more importantly, help us figure out what needed to be done to bring her back to consciousness.The moment we stepped into the chamber, my eyes immediately settled on Lady Astrid, who was still lying in the exact same position I had left her in. There had been no noticeable change in her posture or condition. One of her maids was seated right beside her, keeping a close watch over her. From the look on her face, I could tell that she was equally worried and perhaps beginning to lose hope, especially since there had been no significant improvement despite everything that had been done.As soon as the maid noticed me entering with the wise man, she quickly rose from
DAMIAN:Eventually, the maids, guards, and all the other commoners who had gathered around began to leave one after another. Before long, the palace grounds became quiet again, and the large crowd that had gathered earlier gradually disappeared. It was finally less crowded, giving me enough room to approach the wise man."My wise man," I called out gently as I walked towards him."I honestly never thought I would see you out here, let alone trying to address everyone. I was quite surprised because that is not something I usually see you do. I suppose you must really love your son and would not want to put him through any more stress than he is already experiencing," I said with a smile, finding the whole situation a little amusing.The wise man simply stared at me for a moment without saying anything. From the look on his face, I could tell he was surprised that I had noticed something like that about him. Perhaps he never expected me to pay attention to such a little detail."Well...
DAMIAN:I hurried back outside to meet with the maids and guards and every other commoner who had gathered on the palace grounds. I knew I had to address the situation before things got any worse, especially since everyone seemed convinced that Lady Astrid was dead. I could not blame them entirely for their reaction, but it was becoming too much, and I needed to put an end to their confusion.As soon as I stepped outside, I noticed the wise man standing before the gathered crowd, preparing to address them. I slowed my steps and decided to remain where I was for a moment, allowing him to speak while I listened. He had already drawn everyone's attention, and I wanted to hear what he had to say before I intervened.Honestly, I was surprised to see him taking the initiative to address the people. The wise man was not someone who usually involved himself in public matters, especially when it concerned the affairs of the palace. He preferred to remain in the background and offer his counsel
DAMIAN:I stepped outside to see what was going on exactly and was immediately taken aback by the sight before me. There were so many maids and guards gathered outside, and the atmosphere was so heavy that I could hardly understand what was happening. Some of them looked sorrowful, while others stood in groups, speaking quietly among themselves. From the look on their faces and their appearance, it looked like they were mourning, just like the guard mentioned.I stood there for a moment, looking from one person to another, trying to make sense of the situation. Why were there so many people gathered in one place, and why did they all look as though they had lost someone dear to them?Could they be mourning Lady Astrid? I wondered, immediately thinking of her.But that did not make any sense to me. Lady Astrid was still alive, even though she was unconscious and receiving treatment. Her condition might have been worrying, but no one had confirmed her death, so why would anyone start mo
DAMIAN:I was still seated beside Lady Astrid, my eyes fixed on her face as I waited for any sign that she was regaining consciousness. I watched her closely, hoping to see her blink, move her fingers, or even shift her body slightly. Anything at all that would assure me she was still holding on and that there was hope of her waking up soon.But nothing happened.She remained completely still, and the longer I sat there watching her, the more restless I became. I had no idea how much longer I would have to wait before she finally opened her eyes, but I kept hoping that the next time I looked at her, something would have changed.Just then, I heard a strange noise coming from outside my chambers. I immediately turned my head toward the door, wondering what could be happening out there. At first, I thought it might be the maids moving around or the guards trying to attend to something, but there was something unusual about the sound that made me curious.I listened for a moment, hoping
DAMIAN:I carefully lifted Lady Astrid into my arms and carried her out of the small room into the spacious one, where I expected to find the wise man waiting for us. Thankfully, he was already there, just as I had anticipated.The moment I stepped into the bigger room, the wise man noticed me and hurried over. He came straight towards me, but before saying anything, his eyes fell on Lady Astrid, whom I was still carrying in my arms. He examined her for a moment, and I immediately noticed the slight change in his expression. There was something about the look on his face that made me uneasy, even though he tried his best to remain calm.I could not keep quiet any longer, especially with the way he was looking at her without saying a word."Is there anything wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked, looking directly at him as I waited for an explanation."Uh... uh... um, it's nothing serious. She is cold," he finally replied.I stared at him in confusion, wondering what he meant
