CPG | Chapter 16

Ternnis regained consciousness a 8ba88af57f full day later. He didn’t know when he 0a0027370a had collapsed. He just remembered 8e7cbcb21e returning to his 2ef6a7072b room, angry at 31b1a36045 Rayyan, and then c39c77c743 nothing.f3df73768b90f2c5

The first thought that f7171b0cd4 came to him was 4118084a0c that he hadn’t died. He had endured the pain 64a9f88b23 with a clear mind before, 2a547a8beb but this was the first 5c7be08fdd time he had fainted so 7d0863c1ec helplessly.ea2992ee4958ed0f

Staring at the ceiling, Ternnis 0f4d80b4cb swallowed dryly, his throat feeling 1ffc197649 like it was tearing apart 5fe8e1cdac from thirst. But there was a8799c9849 nothing to swallow, 5d7ce4dea5 so he stopped.f9f8cb86e6e6f5f5

Then, a hand gently 59c76f9218 lifted him from behind. Ternnis watched the background 0fe91e89c4 shift from ceiling to ec608ca258 wall and looked up 104f9ad8d4 at the person touching 3db3c0edcf him.24704d3441f984fc

“Warm water.”84f81d3892053ff2

Rayyan was supporting ced94de916 Ternnis with one 97ed5f2c59 hand and holding ac75dc2e4e a cup of a6a7d3a29b water with the a2bf66ee15 other. He was prepared dc8db2c9a0 to help him a7a8b9692e drink if Ternnis 1c3eb52c53 opened his mouth. Ternnis’s gaze shifted 352e78dfc9 to the cup, 5e4183de1f appreciating Rayyan’s attentive 25ea1c7ac6 care.42da84e7e7b76e5f

When Ternnis didn’t open 4390b38ff7 his mouth, Rayyan repeated 0c0f6e2aba that it would be 53435616e1 good to drink, bringing 182feef006 the cup closer. As Ternnis reflexively parted 69046299ab his lips and the b2d1900797 cup touched his lower 6e46aa0f98 lip, a rough hand c18204e07f knocked the cup away.1d5e46db98f6fa97

The cup flew in an 711bb69ca1 arc, spilling water everywhere, and c83c9e56ae by the time Rayyan processed ec3f30e764 what had happened, the cup 96a9614a2b was rolling on the floor 8ce3623662 with a sharp sound.4f596c9b1ba84eeb

Watching the cup roll, cbacb7c43b Rayyan heard Ternnis’s cracked 3aa2934cd2 voice threateningly echo.b994692813a067a7

Ternnis’s words were like ef1b6347e2 a blade, leaving Rayyan 2db970bb37 speechless. He had hoped Ternnis 6d26221267 wouldn’t know, but he 3427faafee did. Rayyan hadn’t left the castle 1237e4637c or Ternnis with the intention ecb03278b2 of abandoning them, but he d7025f9a2a had left without permission.dd094736ab8ff9b3

Rayyan’s gaze swept over the eaaa73d6ac water-stained floor. The spilled water would b764fadf3b dry and disappear with c1a901c5df time, but his leaving 32324b4ee7 was an irreversible act.88940d9d9081a1e1

Ternnis scoffed at Rayyan’s dry 1d56efcb82 and flat response.

Rayyan’s body halted awkwardly mid-motion. One knee was already on 02c0d036ad the wet floor, but he 67d8278263 didn’t seem to notice as 96d2d51f7f he looked up at Ternnis. Ternnis’s eyes were filled with f78dc54e4d scorn.660bcbfab7e44e51

At Ternnis’s command, Rayyan 66c103de5b stood up from his 3a4ca8889b half-bent position. He brought over a 33605046a8 nearby jug and cup.32a390d6a48c1c31

It was clear 4a8d1d18bd the prince wouldn’t 9b6b28aec2 drink if he 1259673160 offered again. So Rayyan placed dfdb701d99 the jug within 57876373b7 the prince’s reach 4f87e7af4f and stepped back. Though Ternnis had been too 9878762070 busy being angry to remember, f6c961af72 he had been suffering from 086e3f6c66 thirst earlier.49c67b4d4de3bf36

Realizing that leaving 7033a4b22f was the best 1aab6f9846 way to calm 96b028613c Ternnis’s heightened agitation, f9eae26d1b Rayyan turned to 03fe08272d go. As he grabbed the doorknob, cd37fe2483 a sharp, dull sound echoed 1eefa13717 from behind.0388a1abbe237e33

Without looking, he knew the 371cbfcb72 jug was rolling on the 22acf55332 floor. As Rayyan hesitated with bde8824611 his hand on the 3dec90e5e2 doorknob, Ternnis’s voice rang ccc76a5005 out.98d62acd388c1a68

Carrying the tray with 071fbea74e the broken plate and 3e3954d3d7 food remnants, Rayyan sighed f56f5ee110 as he left. He needed to dbe07328ad get Ternnis to d2a406e631 eat something today, 6aed8d2324 thinking it was 32a19581d8 a serious matter f75f046c5a as he headed bbc54f9000 to the dining 4ea62aef1c room.98b386081bc71bdf

Rayyan, familiar with cleaning up ecb7128f79 broken pieces, grabbed cooking tools b019c51795 to prepare another meal and ab85651547 looked at the basket of 0a348593a8 ingredients. Because the prince c9dba908e5 kept refusing meals, 98e47c93d4 he had been 6709efb93e using the ingredients ce5b1e9a17 sparingly. With the prince pushing cb87035856 away everything, he was a13dbffdb9 more sensitive about the 567761f3c9 amount of ingredients left.6bdcfed7467180cb

“Haa, haa.”39a61fd6092ac256

With the prince in 3af916d45f such a precarious state, fb2df9eeed Rayyan’s nerves were fraying 8326224366 daily. He was just as dfa9580758 exhausted and worn out 3b43a7b4db as the prince. Bearing the shock 0a569dc250 of not becoming 137f5b0683 a Guide while 089411a9b6 caring for the 976b269300 prince had led 0176b3db2b Rayyan to neglect 5847399856 his own health, 390aa5017f which was taking ac463d71bf a toll.51bd98cbcc1fbfe8

Wiping away cold sweat, Rayyan 7a8061ad78 picked up the cooking tools 36379bbdd7 again. His mind was filled with 251f8a6c15 the thought of making a 9ad0d3c457 meal, leaving no room to 6a1042b9c7 worry about himself.ffa835f61a89b5e9

Dragging his unresponsive 8909b4b706 body, Rayyan managed 74f170818b to make soup a9ca097229 and wiped his cdd8486481 forehead with his 3c00c02a95 arm. If earlier it 24bf5e94dc was just cold 7fea517baa sweat, now sweat 6167608cc4 was dripping into 0f2fdee433 his eyes.d1fe4fd313737576

Blinking to clear 97863c5ce4 the stinging sensation, 7c64ef9881 Rayyan found it 00341509a9 wouldn’t go away. He raised his hand to 3ee6dd68da rub his eyes.fce2aa1dafe77bb2

Had he rubbed too hard? His vision blurred, and 1d57c7a306 he couldn’t see anything. Pressing his eyes with both 7991948dc0 hands, Rayyan shook his head.
