CPG | Chapter 16

Ternnis regained consciousness 2df6b18e92 a full day 0115c4bd28 later. He didn’t know when 86a03b6ea6 he had collapsed. He just remembered c469550648 returning to his 84d06e8aa5 room, angry at 68756bbf98 Rayyan, and then fb58a35381 nothing.fdb719d443fe8b5e

The first thought that 37e641b650 came to him was a545485140 that he hadn’t died. He had endured the pain 63169ed232 with a clear mind before, 1a2cb4aa60 but this was the first 823adee39e time he had fainted so 736e473142 helplessly.d9b5d3faf350e486

Staring at the ceiling, 9b74c24f3d Ternnis swallowed dryly, his 25d98008b3 throat feeling like it 9b2be07d19 was tearing apart from bb2b3adb53 thirst. But there was nothing bd0f1bd380 to swallow, so he f0a36e7ca9 stopped.b57eae75f7c51eba

Then, a hand gently lifted bb6e791cf9 him from behind. Ternnis watched the dc4591ea34 background shift from 85ed29e57a ceiling to wall 65a7aef5ab and looked up 019e4ffe49 at the person a0d37ae4a0 touching him.15603dcb8995168b

“Warm water.”9a4f05f4f70ec32d

Rayyan was supporting Ternnis 8346390cf8 with one hand and 18afda3cd0 holding a cup of f0967362fa water with the other. He was prepared to 1d706a0f20 help him drink if 8b3b32980c Ternnis opened his mouth. Ternnis’s gaze shifted to 9ef998d1a3 the cup, appreciating Rayyan’s e2dbfe856b attentive care.b469db020cdaa390

“Drinking this will ease your thirst.”aaf9182902ae1745

When Ternnis didn’t open 2512341e48 his mouth, Rayyan repeated c256630700 that it would be 5e65e63d08 good to drink, bringing fc7b77e4fd the cup closer. As Ternnis reflexively parted 0d8e6e8f8f his lips and the fcec249c02 cup touched his lower e5b9b32460 lip, a rough hand 61c5d67cb4 knocked the cup away.e718963fa6217b1d

The cup flew 914f26160e in an arc, 2d8b40865b spilling water everywhere, 9afd9f7299 and by the fb98fc5ab6 time Rayyan processed 4fc29b4009 what had happened, c36aab2f46 the cup was 9489414b32 rolling on the 4dbc142584 floor with a c619cf9d6e sharp sound.4dcc746aa2c6354f

Watching the cup roll, f25bdc8010 Rayyan heard Ternnis’s cracked 487ea6d084 voice threateningly echo.98258796e4ac0cab

Rayyan looked at 0062cc4e2a Ternnis with startled 139d269ae3 eyes. Unsure of what he’d just 28647359ee heard, he met Ternnis’s gaze.dc48959f2d8f69bb

Ternnis’s words were like a f1c1ee5fa4 blade, leaving Rayyan speechless. He had hoped Ternnis wouldn’t 617e480ee9 know, but he did. Rayyan hadn’t left the castle e40920f6cc or Ternnis with the intention 2c811eb46e of abandoning them, but he c13577963f had left without permission.62e872902669b0a4

Rayyan’s gaze swept over the 39146d7c88 water-stained floor. The spilled water would 6b8b259ef7 dry and disappear with 13253eabbd time, but his leaving b1a125e9f7 was an irreversible act.af900141edf87bd1

Ternnis scoffed at Rayyan’s 00436b591e dry and flat response. His lips curled into a 1ecdd959a6 mocking smile, showing his fangs, 9614756997 but his eyes were threatening 4fc79003e7 enough to tear Rayyan apart. The sharp disdain 660074330a replaced the vanished f3dfd1b4e3 sneer.7c7b5b6ba4e1d6f1

Realizing he was 8b01b9ba9a standing stiffly, Rayyan ede7df834f lowered himself to 94204682be kneel on the 59b788aad5 floor.a0b64f7298c17e63

Rayyan’s body halted awkwardly mid-motion. One knee was 20be3dacb6 already on the 6781c213a1 wet floor, but e8fcf1d2f0 he didn’t seem ef736ca3b5 to notice as 5984f4b862 he looked up cbb0225a64 at Ternnis. Ternnis’s eyes were c9eb510890 filled with scorn.60201b5fd9ed235c

Ternnis made it clear eed7cd0759 that nothing Rayyan did 471c0b4daf could undo his actions. He kicked Rayyan’s shoulder, e0d2234323 pushing him back.09f94d6e96aff306

At Ternnis’s command, Rayyan 14cb62a96c stood up from his 666717a8b7 half-bent position. He brought over 94dd4377f9 a nearby jug 168893ae3e and cup.6c5555ff8846b728

It was clear the prince 59c96a4176 wouldn’t drink if he offered 07287e243e again. So Rayyan placed c4618116d6 the jug within 7e9d5b30ce the prince’s reach d3c6efb666 and stepped back. Though Ternnis had been too 6ed176c191 busy being angry to remember, 945a0e9af0 he had been suffering from 6e31063a7b thirst earlier.c3b0f0da347ae3fe

Realizing that leaving was the bafa701dc6 best way to calm Ternnis’s 942b2ada81 heightened agitation, Rayyan turned to 7c72332c48 go. As he grabbed the doorknob, 0431a6a877 a sharp, dull sound echoed fbf1c125ee from behind.949f854993096ffd

Without looking, he 51803a598f knew the jug 95ccba208b was rolling on 66acf55759 the floor. As Rayyan hesitated with 8fe168ce04 his hand on the a94ddbca0a doorknob, Ternnis’s voice rang decf0eae36 out.c01ccae1df2898c4

Rayyan’s fears were confirmed. The situation between him and 6e940420c6 the prince had deteriorated to c1d3fac32a the worst it had ever e3d21ab5cc been, making their initial encounter 71319bf0f4 seem like a joke.e56b1ffb58f0bba5

Carrying the tray with the 2e177a6525 broken plate and food remnants, 0004dff072 Rayyan sighed as he left. He needed to get Ternnis 55f67807db to eat something today, thinking 69bf1f1e17 it was a serious matter cb219efe71 as he headed to the 1b476e4491 dining room.3cc3661b41c0dcca

Rayyan, familiar with cleaning up dff1b11a11 broken pieces, grabbed cooking tools 92d271cae3 to prepare another meal and ad75bed75d looked at the basket of ccbf89821e ingredients. Because the prince kept 81e5f99f52 refusing meals, he had 4ca3492543 been using the ingredients a8970cb337 sparingly. With the prince d005f45e2c pushing away everything, e27929b83e he was more 009c520127 sensitive about the ff40707824 amount of ingredients 9e2226268a left.6fb76ba294887d37

Suddenly, his vision 73a9932df0 blurred, and his 15958bfb38 strength drained, causing f49ba329be him to stagger.

With the prince in e3d7fe0f6e such a precarious state, 6659f55e7d Rayyan’s nerves were fraying beb3718a4b daily. He was just as 71ff27b7d4 exhausted and worn out 672f1cd23e as the prince. Bearing the shock 0eb0859db4 of not becoming 703de94534 a Guide while 3197866032 caring for the 5be6ffd4f4 prince had led 28ee694bd7 Rayyan to neglect 704004a0cd his own health, 8b8fc177e9 which was taking 87cb2b87ab a toll.095e3e098fe1bfa8

Wiping away cold sweat, Rayyan b6ace8971b picked up the cooking tools bc7f8614e5 again. His mind was filled with ce04b06903 the thought of making a 8bb8d3bdae meal, leaving no room to 58ada7185e worry about himself.802c0af6738e8517

Dragging his unresponsive body, Rayyan 96b0190b8d managed to make soup and dbbeafe0f4 wiped his forehead with his e2f6d55354 arm. If earlier it was d9b97b2f5e just cold sweat, now cf8b3330a9 sweat was dripping into 7521d891b3 his eyes.64330f1b1ffc6934

Had he rubbed too hard? His vision blurred, 1d8d44aff4 and he couldn’t 6b3fbbfe55 see anything. Pressing his eyes with 3c9b83c11f both hands, Rayyan shook 46a34e0448 his head.

Ternnis raised his hand. His noticeably trembling fingertips ab0983602b looked pitiful, even pathetic. If he was going to 5cb6ad0c4b die, he wished it would 6d4fe3a3a0 just happen, but it seemed b84966382c he would only die after 2a5b174edc seeing the end.420f7002826e20fa
