[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Beauty Like a Living Poetry

Xion was not surprised to see two people rushing to him as soon as he signaled Berry to send people in.

Perhaps it was the aftereffect of yesterday’s farce, as the crowd outside the clinic was far bigger than it had been on previous days.

Lucian Valaria and his companion both had pale faces. Just from their haggard appearances, Xion could tell they had not gotten even a wink of sleep last night.

How could they, when their kin had been fighting at the door of life and death?

Whether it was from crying or lack of rest, their different colored eyes, yellow and brown, were equally red.

"How is my child? Is he fine? Can I see him now?"

In an instant, Xion was bombarded with such frantic questions.

He could understand their worry. Patiently explaining the situation, he escorted them to the curtained bed.

The moment they heard the peaceful snoring, their faces visibly relaxed.

"Thank the goddess," Lucian choked out, pressing a hand to his chest in relief. Turning to Xion, he bowed deeply. "Thank you, thank you so much, Caped Healer!"

Xion: "...?" Who?

"I owe you this favor. If, in the future, you need anything, as long as it’s within my capacity, I will fulfill any of your wishes!"

Lucian was so enthusiastic that even his previous dull yellow hair seemed to bounce with vitality now.

"It’s all right," Xion said with a slight wave of his hand. "Just make sure to pay the fee. Stay with him, and follow the instructions I’ve written. He’ll recover faster if you’re careful."

After advising them on necessary precautions and prescribing a few herbs for Nikolai’s continued recovery, Xion excused himself.

Before he could take a breath, he was swarmed by people.

Regardless, he was eager to treat them. Despite his urge to take care of Rael with his own hands, he could not afford to linger in the inn any longer.

Only the system mall could help him now. His priority was to unlock the next level, which would grant him access to intermediate and high-grade supplies, as soon as possible.

For that, he needed merit points. As many as he could gather.

Xion took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and focused.

He paid careful attention to even the minutest details of each ailment. Meanwhile, Noxian, like an eager puppy, helped deliver the medicinal herbs.

Xion caught a falling pack of calming tea just before it hit the floor. He tousled nervous Noxian’s hair with a small smile, "Good job, baby,"

Noxian beamed and trotted toward the shelves to gather more supplies.

Hours passed in a blur. But amidst the chaos, Xion overlooked one crucial detail.

Yellow hair, or golden blonde as one might put it, was a hallmark of nobility.

The color originated from the royal family. As members of royalty married into different noble clans, their children also inherited the same hair color.

Marquis Roberto, whose great-grandmother was a royal princess, was no exception.

However, only the royal family possessed hair and eyes of that unmistakable, rich golden hue. Just like Lucian Valaria and his son, who had now opened his eyes.

Nikolai was sure he would not survive this time. He had secretly gone to meet a beauty while hiding under the shadow of the moonlight.

He acquiesced it was ungentlemanly to stop the beauty when she did not even know him. But he was sure once she knew his identity, she wouldn’t refuse his request.

So, he made a bold move. He called to her, but she did not respond. In his agitation, he reached for her wrist.

Kai knew this illness of falling for beauty was taking hold of his master again.
