Chapter 107: 107: Magic Fixes Everything
"Can you treat him?" Eden questioned the Royal Physician who was struggling to keep calm.
"I’ll try..." The Royal Physician had gotten back to Elvis.
He had opened his arm where the arrow was shot and was already applying medicine on it. Carefully cleaning it up first.
Eden casually stood there with Mr George, watching
Elvis was subconscious. His eyes were shot while he made soft sounds of pain while squeezing his face in discomfort. It was as though he was having a nightmare or something.
They watched the Royal Physician work for what seemed like an hour. He was done cleaning up the physical mess in his arm and now he had gone to treat him internally.
This took over thirty minutes as he checked Elvis’s pulse while applying some medicine to his injury and giving him some pills.
"How’s he now? What happened?" Eden observed how the Royal Physician was going back and forth in his treatment.
The Royal Physician hesitated "The new poison inserted in his body is sharp and harsh. It’s already making its way into all parts of his body and threatening to destroy his organs.."
Eden gasped. And so did Mr George whose expression went pale.
"What? So what are you going to do to save him?" Me George demanded.
Eden asked "And...?"He knew he had more to say.
"It would have been easier to take out all the poison from the body. And would actually be doable, if the poison hadn’t already been mixed with the already existing one"
The Royal Physician explained "There seems to be an already existing poison in his body and it’s disrupting this one from being removed. It’s suppressing lots of things and it’s extending the amount of harm this one could do. It’s safe to say that the old poison is making this new one hard to treat"
Eden gasped. He was the one who inserted the poison.
He now felt extremely bad about it. He was the reason why someone who had risked his life to save him was in extreme pain at the moment.
He felt like the villain now.
"So what can we done??" Mr George was just worried.
Eden turned to Mr George "Can you excuse us? We have something important to discuss?"
"Huh? Why would I? I need to be here with The Crown Prince" Mr George insisted.
Eden stared at The Royal Physician. Signalling him to send Mr George out. And he took the hint and said.
"You’ll have to excuse us" He said to Mr George "For a moment, please"
Mr George hesitated. Looking at Eden and then the physician.
After a while, he left the room for the two of them.
"You know of the first poison in his body right? It’s gotten from your lab" Eden said, his arms folded.
"Yes. I recognised it"
"So do you have any cure to it? Since it’s yours" he demanded.
The Royal Physician hesitated "Sadly no. There isn’t for now"
"Why?" He demanded.
"It was one of the projects that was abandoned for a while now. It was supposed to be used by Queen Lea who instructed making it. It was to be used on some enemies she wanted to punish. But the King had banned making it as as soon as he found out. And so I left everything about it"
He explained "I haven’t gone back to look for a cure or something because I wasn’t going to make use of it anyways. It was as good as gone. I didn’t expect it to ..."
Eden sighed "Then I guess you’ll have to start working towards a cure for it immediately"
"Yes Sir, I will" The Royal Physician agreed.
"And you’ll also get the relieve pill. At least it should help him recover to some extent" Eden added.
"Yes. It should" The Royal Physician agreed.
Eden had his eyes on Elvis who was still partially unconscious, muttering some words in pain like one who was having a nightmare in pain.
He watched him in pity while thinking of a faster way to help him. He didn’t seem to come up with any for awhile, but as soon as he heard a familiar sound in the air, a word came to his mind.
The gentle sound of birds in the atmosphere filled his ears, distracting him for a while. It didn’t take long for him to recognise that sound. And immediately a word had come to his mind.
Magic.
He figured he could at least obtain his powers for a while, and so he could try using it to help Elvis out.
Even though he wasn’t sure, he would still have to try.
"I’ll leave him to you for the meantime. I’ll be back soon" He said.
The sound of the bird still filled the air. The signal from Felix telling him to meet him at his own room.
"Oh. Uh" The Royal Physician nodded with a slight bow as Eden turned and walked off.
Eden soon left the chamber and made his way to his room. He had his mind on Elvis, worrying about him and wondering how he was going to save him from this mess.
Eden guessed he shouldn’t be worried.
Elvis was the male lead after all and the author wouldn’t let him die like that. The author would most certainly find a way to save him, even if it was silly and illogical. Right?
But he was still worried.
Eden soon arrived at his chamber, and as he entered and closed the door, he was met with the view of Lenny sitting in bed while Felix stood by the side, pointing his staff at the cat as though he wanted to strike it dead or something.
Eden paused for awhile, staring at the two of them. The two had also looked in his direction, blinking.
Eden didn’t understand what the hell was happening and a part of him didn’t want to even understand what was happening.
But he couldn’t stop himself from saying anyways "What the hell is happening here?"
