[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Who Allowed You to Leave?

The orange wisps of fire crackled brightly in the midst of the dark night. Xion rubbed his hands in a vain attempt to warm his cold hands.

The chill seeped deep into his bones. He shivered, his teeth faintly chattering. He did not expect the night to go this cold.

He glanced longingly at the campfire in the center of the clearing. Its golden glow danced across the surrounding busy figures and cast floaty shadows over the surface of the tents.

He remained where he was, sitting against the trunk of the same big tree, and looking at the cozy flames with yearning.

Ray was there, and Xion thought better than to go near the knight at this time.

Rael did not ask him to cook dinner for him, which Xion was glad about.

He was not in the mood to cook another dish at the moment.

He tilted his head up, and his hood slid under the effect of gravity. His deep blue eyes reflected the starry sky. For a moment, he forgot his frozen hands and the chill biting at his nose.

He pressed his knees to his chest, holding himself closer to retain his body’s warmth as he watched the tiny specks of light glimmering with brilliance. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

Those mesmerizing twinkling stars flickered and hazily overlapped with the shining street lamps around the park where he used to go for a stroll. Rather than morning, he had always preferred the night walks.

They were less noisy and, for the most part, helped him think about things that bothered him.

"I want to go back," he murmured. His voice was so low that even the wind seemed to carry it away.

Just then everything went dark. A shadow crossed his vision for a brief second. Before he could react, a thick, fur-lined coat was draped over him.

The sudden warmth of the heavy garment made him shudder. Even before looking up, he knew who it was.

Xion’s fingers clenched around the coat as he looked up. Standing before him was Darius Rael, his slight frame outlined against the bright orange light of the fire.

Though his face was obscured under the darkness, those green eyes still gleamed. Too venomous to endure, yet too pretty to look away.

Even as a child, he exuded an unmistakable aura of royalty. One could only imagine how devastatingly handsome he would grow to be in the years to come.

If this child were in his previous world, the entertainment industry would have gone crazy for him.

Thank god, I won’t be there to deal with the adult Rael then. Xion mused silently. The older the nobles get, the scarier they tend to be.

"Who allowed you to leave?" A low voice startled Xion out of his reverie.

"Yes?" Xion tilted his head slightly, confused at the sudden question.

"Umm, admiring the stars?" Xion almost stuttered while replying. Why is Rael looking angry and... scary?

Xion trembled as Rael’s cold finger rubbed his chin. Darius was angry, which made Xion aware of the one important fact he had been subconsciously throwing at the back of his mind.
