Your Half Mate

Long Kael had repeated that phrase  inside his head countless times. It was something that she had told him before she fainted, and the more he thought about it, the more he became sure that the injury was because of the curse. 

It made him feel bad but with a hint of relief, since he had been feeling guilty for hurting his mate earlier, when she was still using stealth magic. At least by knowing that her back injury was not entirely his fault, made him feel that his burden was a bit lessened. 

"We will do everything we can, Your Majesty. Our top-class herbs are always sold at a reasonable price  because we value life, I guarantee that. So I assure you that we will not disregard the patient's life." Wu Jiao bragged with confidence. 

"However, we are already setting the expectation that the most we could, if it was a curse made of taboo magic, was to prolong her life not remove it." She added.
