[Vol. 3] Chapter 60

"Will he be alright?" I asked, my voice shaking as I glanced at the sleeping and unconscious body on the bed.

Arashi nodded at me, pointing out the jug, "The leaves I used are for clearing the toxic elements from the body but it takes time and needs to be consumed continuously."

His eyes fell on his grandfather and he muttered, "I need someone to watch over him and give him only the herb water I have prepared. No normal water."

"Should I?" I wanted to suggest it myself but wasn't certain if that would be a good idea. First, because they didn't know me and nobody would let a stranger stay with the emperor and second, only maids and the royal physician were allowed in this chamber other than some people. I knew no one would allow any person in that room unless they had earned a great position in their eyes.

His eyes fell over me and he nodded, "That would be a good plan but they will try to pester you or belittle you. Are you sure you can handle that?"
