13.4 Solo Instance?

Shizu? "What's wrong-"

"Father!" the princess yelled out in distraught. "He needs medical attention!"

Oh... Oh!

Years of doing reluctant medical work rushed back into my head as I quickly made my way to the Emperor, my eyes quickly scanning his body for any sort of injury that might be making Shizu upset.

"Are there any injuries?" I asked. "Any sort of pain that shouldn't be there?"

"I-I don't know," Shizu stammered out in a panic. "He's just panting more than he should, and he has never done that before!"

Okay? Not a lot of information, but it'll work? "Your Majesty?"

"I-I'll be fine," he chuckled, his breathing ragged even as he smirked. "This is simply the result of me lacking in a bit of exercise."

Well that's just helpful now, wasn't it?
