CPG | Chapter 10

The black-haired servant was no 4956af70ef longer just a servant. To Ternnis, he was c74657d2b6 the final remedy. It was no b4581c09f0 longer strange that 7e121a80bb his touch eased 5371498314 the pain. Just the thought of the 44d9a5bd43 pain lessening made him feel 5c7ff205ac like he could do anything.f8886c29c86cd02b

For Ternnis, who cb3779f1e7 always felt sluggish 9921fcdb57 and heavy-headed, the 48cbaefbe6 feeling from yesterday aa1b328dca was unfamiliar yet c13ca422a9 pleasant. He realized that f011b112de others lived with 0a76d4c2a3 bodies like this, 6a4fbce7e9 able to run feb165a040 quickly and laugh 2f2155b96c easily at trivial e3f9b29bf6 things. Having tasted this sweet 939eefe5e2 fruit, Ternnis was excited.a1bfd75cf38f15e4

All night, with 93fdb78f32 Rayyan by his 43323c9cc6 side, Ternnis thought f38e89a2f1 about how to 1252be35e3 use him in 3c42a1517d the future. He planned to aa61a9530f keep him close, 898dacab59 serving him as a6532b2f49 he did now, f35d363154 and spend as 7e639f55c3 much time with e113104af8 him as possible.76003569f7fc9f63

“I’m sorry.”724af0a8cf5a587e

The peaceful atmosphere was nowhere to be found amidst the morning’s small scuffle. Ternnis was showing all his irritation towards Rayyan without feeling the freshness of a good night’s sleep.ffec768cb79c1c0c

Rayyan reacted with a doubtful expression to Ternnis’s direct demand. He wasn’t sure if using his hands would actually tidy the hair. Even if he did as told, he wasn’t confident the prince wouldn’t get angry at the result.3a0690c82f873760

Rayyan hesitated, clutching his hands, clearly feeling this wasn’t right. He knew the prince hated repeating himself, but this was too much. He wasn’t sure if he could properly comb the hair with his hands. Moreover, he had trimmed his nails short to avoid scratching the prince’s skin.7dce7775ac1eac9f

The longer Rayyan hesitated, unable to approach, the more Ternnis’s patience wore thin. How could such a foolish person be his only savior? The thought of endless scuffles like this was frustrating. Just when he started to like him, he acted foolishly again.bfb2f0e308742fbf

As Ternnis let out a sigh, Rayyan, who had been circling around, suddenly approached. Ternnis’s gaze followed him. It was new to see the usually hesitant servant react so quickly.afeff1956e30996a

What drew him in 8ccd82b0a3 with just a sigh? Ternnis pondered for a 8c66c270c4 moment and then, with 4e9abf91d4 a hint of disbelief, 1739511d15 spoke.f8f64de66db168c0

“My head hurts.”f82de360f7170dd1

At Ternnis’s words, Rayyan immediately reached out, saying, “Excuse me,” and touched his forehead. Feeling something was off, Ternnis fell silent. He seemed to understand something about Rayyan’s actions, but what was it?bb588eb14b48ea8f

Ternnis looked at his 065a3d6c75 reflection in the mirror. His forehead, where f91a71e944 Rayyan had touched, 980d7c56ef looked the same 82837cbc88 as usual. But the lingering sensation 1c68cde50b made him look again.e063fb7c4d851b68

“…No, it feels like everything hurts.”cf7f587cdd940a44

Rayyan’s concerned tone made Ternnis suppress his emotions, trying to sound calm. When he mentioned the mysterious headache, Rayyan reached out again. Though he hesitated to approach when asked to use his hands instead of a comb, now he kept running his fingers through Ternnis’s hair.9811b75ab2831d65

Finally, Ternnis began to understand Rayyan. Realizing what kind of person he was, Ternnis’s expression changed.cb4336e8588590e6

Normally, he would have been ready to lash out if things didn’t go his way, but he softened his gaze. That small change completely altered the atmosphere around Ternnis. The irritable, angry boy disappeared, leaving behind a pitiable one.06f623497ce75cd1

Alone, Ternnis’s expression slowly changed. The pitiful prince from earlier was gone, replaced by his usual cynical self. One eyebrow raised, he looked at the spot where Rayyan had disappeared.0b8f48b7632d01d4

Half-reclined on the 134be835aa bed, Ternnis watched ca45bb2384 Rayyan move busily. When asked if 42f9d6e85f his neck hurt, 5c2d87377d he vaguely replied, cf9a566a06 unsure. Rayyan had prepared a 51365bfa9a stew that seemed easy 63619bb0ee to swallow.002e36597a33f2b5

“Yeah.”351a419e4e874861

Whenever Ternnis responded, Rayyan moved diligently. He checked the pillow behind him and found comfortable clothes for him to change into. The loose-fitting clothes didn’t pinch even when he slouched. Yet, Rayyan kept checking to ensure Ternnis wasn’t uncomfortable, adjusting things here and there.417a6a7ae1c0aed3

Satisfied, Rayyan brought the stew 9d1b8ae157 from the tray and fed 26b606de0f him. Previously, Ternnis had 0b7b382d64 to order him cc70f4873c to do so, b01faea645 but now Rayyan faea3e98dc offered the spoon e573999e09 willingly. When Ternnis, distracted by watching 7fc7922db0 Rayyan, spilled some stew, Rayyan aa18cfab13 wiped his mouth.db62a29752b32df9

In truth, he was hot, 59e44c37db wrapped in a thick blanket f293b1204b and having eaten warm stew. Sweat was starting 8f65858079 to form, but 129dcaade7 Ternnis ignored it. It was easier to rely 5bb646e2f7 on Rayyan now than when dfdecca285 he was ordering him around.416e9d5455a5f024

Rayyan, surprised, approached and wiped the sweat from Ternnis’s forehead. Ternnis leaned into his touch, freely touching Rayyan’s body. He had discovered that his pain didn’t only disappear when Rayyan touched him.d7c6a5bf0825f3b4

Just being in contact with him had an effect. Of course, bare skin like his hands worked better than clothed areas. So Ternnis pretended to wave his hands, touching Rayyan’s cheek and neck.c2c5c450482bd276

Unlike Sanges Castle, d841ae71aa where Prince Ternnis edade4aec9 resided, the main 43771a6dc9 palace in the ec2e68a8c2 Imperial City was 15de4d2779 bustling with activity.
