Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1291

In the evening, Carissa presented Rafael's leave request to Salvador, who summoned her to an audience. Seeing her reddened eyes, he believed Robert's words. It was clear that Rafael's illness had come on strongly this time.

"Don't worry too much," Salvador said gently. "With Mr. Lester's treatment, he'll recover soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I've also sent someone to hurry after Sebastian. He has the best medicine for heart ailments."

Carissa's voice was faint, as if her strength had been drained, and she sounded fragile.

"It's the Snowdrop Pills, isn't it?" Salvador asked.

He knew of the medicine. The nobility in the capital often kept a few on hand, just in case. But he had heard that the pills had become scarce over the past two years, as some of the ingredients were no longer available.

"Yes," Carissa confirmed.

"When can he return? Can't you find the pills at Arcane Sanctum?"

Carissa's expression darkened with worry. "It will take at least two or three days. Arcane Sanctum no longer carries the pills. Rowan, Sebastian's apprentice, told me that only Sebastian has two left on him."

"Is there no other medicine that could work as well?" Salvador pressed, though he wondered if the Snowdrop Pills were as miraculous as people claimed, or just an exaggerated rumor.

"Other medicines likely won't compare." Carissa hesitated, her face growing more uneasy. "Mr. Warren's late mom suffered from a heart condition and was close to death. It was the Snowdrop Pills that saved her life. Afterward, she had to take a dose every month to maintain her health. It really works."

Salvador thought he had heard of that incident before, but discussing a dead person at this moment felt rather ill-fated.

Noticing Carissa's eyes redden again, he tried to reassure her, "Mr. Lester told me the situation is now under control. With some time and proper care, Rafael will recover. Don't worry too much."

Carissa lowered her gaze, hiding the redness in her eyes. "Yes, Your Majesty. I'm grateful for Mr. Lester's help today."

Salvador dismissed her to return to Rafael's side, temporarily placing the matter aside.
