[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: A Trip to The Royal Jail is Exciting?

In the past, Xion had been powerless.

It was not just the way his life started Xion Vaelis, where even taking a few steps made his legs feel as heavy as a mountain.

Before he became someone worthy of respect, before he earned his name through countless sleepless nights spent glued to his study table... He had simply been a foolish boy who still held onto hope.

And it was that very hope that had made him powerless.

Every time he was cast aside like a cheap mop while his family went out to spend time together, he would press his pencil harder against the paper, scribbling with even more determination.

I didn’t do well this time. That’s why they don’t want to take me with them. But next time, when I get full marks, they’ll definitely take me along...

Yes, I must be a bad boy. If I go with them, I’ll only mbarress them.

Though Xion’s young mind couldn’t quite grasp the difference between ’embarrass’ and his own misspelled ’mbarress,’ he understood well enough that it wasn’t a good thing.

So, he studied even harder.

When the results came in, he had rushed home. His fingers turned white from the force he had been clutching his report card, heart pounding with anticipation.

First rank! He had done it! Surely, they would smile now. Surely, they would finally acknowledge him.

But instead, he was met with a slap from his father as he had made his sister feel bad.

Followed by a beating from his second brother.

Growing up in such an environment had twisted his mind in strange ways.

He learned to dodge negative comments as if they were pebbles in a river. He would let them flow past him, never stopping to let them weigh him down.

He only took situations seriously if his life was in immediate danger.

As for everything else?

Were those flowers gently swaying in the air not pretty enough to admire? Were these ancient people around him not interesting enough to observe?

Even the rocks scattered along the edge of the room seemed strangely beautiful in his eyes.

And right now, he was staring at the small room with his wide curious eyes where both he and Allen had been thrown in. with his wide curious eyes.

Well, now he had even experienced going to jail. It was kind of exciting actually.

Their feet were bound with metallic chains, and from the way they shimmered ever so slightly, they were undoubtedly enchanted. Most likely with a tracing spell or something similar.

Their hands were free. However, with the heavy chains attached to their ankles, their movement was severely limited. Even the door of the jail was out of their reach.

Xion silently scooted toward Allen, and now both were sitting on the dirty floor.

"Brother, I am sorry," Xion finally muttered.

"What?" Allen, confused by the sudden apology, turned to look at him. Despite sitting in the dimly lit cell, he still carried the same quiet radiance.

Even now, he looked every bit like a noble. Albeit he was guilty, he was still calm and composed. There was not a shred of fear in those eyes.

Although he was sitting in a dirty cell where criminals were kept, Xion looked untouched by the filth of their surroundings.

Xion lowered his gaze, gripping the soft fabric of his sleeve. "If I hadn’t messed up... we wouldn’t be here," he whispered.

Allen sighed, tilting his head back against the cold stone wall. "It was not your fault. And if anything I should thank you, teacher. So, don’t worry about anything. We will be fine when His Grace returns."

Xion mimicked Allen’s action and now both were staring at the spiderweb-covered ceiling.

"I can take us out, but I don’t think that will help." _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

Xion might not realize it, but he was very important. Far more vital than even him and Ray.
