Chapter 68: Problems Arise

“What’s the matter?” Chris asked when she heard me sighed.

I looked at her. Oh. Right. I have to fix my relationship with her – I thought and smiled. I was about to speak when I suddenly felt my head hurt. “Argh!” I screamed and pulled my hair.

“S – Sage?” Chris called and stepped back, startled. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“What’s gotten into the Sage?” I heard Michele asked.

“Y – Your Highness… what’s wrong?” Emil asked, nervous.

“Did a wolf slip past me and bit him and poisoned him?” Oril asked and unsheathed his sword.

“Idiot!” Rio said and hit Oril in the head. “If he was really bitten, then he should’ve told us earlier!” she said, frowning. Oril just scratched his head.

I sighed. Damn all these problems… I thought. “It’s really hard to be a Sage.” I muttered and continued to walk.

“Huh?” they said.

I shook my head. “Nothing.” I said. “Let’s move on – “ I told them when suddenly, I stopped. My heart pounded wildly. “What…” I muttered and looked back.
