Looking around nervously, Abel cautiously went out after making sure Karas wasn’t nearby. Meeting Karas in the evening was manageable. He could spend the whole day preparing things to say, talk until he got tired, and eventually, he would fall asleep.
However, encountering him in the morning, without any mental preparation, made his heart race again. Fortunately, today he tightly held the medicine the butler had given him, reassuring himself that there wouldn’t be any issues even if he ran into Karas.

Yes, there wouldn’t be any problems.
Abel headed outside in the dark before the sun had risen yet. As he passed the guards, he pressed a finger to his lips, silently asking for their discretion as he stealthily made his way across the ground. Great, today he would work hard planting trees again…

“Who are you looking for?”

Abel, who was about to respond to the question behind him, was startled to see the person in question appear in front of him and lose his balance. His body shook for a moment, but a strong hand caught his arm.
“Wow, Prince. Ha, ha, you’re up early?”

Unable to meet Karas’ gaze properly, Abel let out an awkward laugh. Karas didn’t release Abel’s arm even after he had already steadied himself and asked bluntly.
“You?”

“Yes?”
Abel looked up at Karas, puzzled.

Me?
Seeing his large green eyes filled with question marks, Karas softened his voice slightly and asked again.

“Why are you up so early?”
“Oh, I was just heading to the forest.”

Abel looked away again, mumbling his response.
“Q-quickly, I need to work more so I can show the prince the forest sooner.”

Abel said softly but clearly enough to be understood. However, when there was no response for a while, Abel cautiously lifted his gaze. He saw Karas with his mouth set in a firm line, looking somewhat displeased. As soon as he noticed Abel looking at him, he finally opened his mouth.
“I don’t need to see the forest.”

For a moment, it felt like listening to a child’s complaint, and Abel couldn’t help but smile broadly.
“Hehe, but please do come and see it. There might not be much change, but it’s really fascinating.”

Fascinating?
Karas showed interest, and Abel nodded.

“The color of the soil changes day by day. A lot of the blackened ground is gone now. You’ll find it really fascinating to see. Slowly but surely, the land is coming back to life. It’s all thanks to the prince.”
Abel spoke again as if something trivial was something extraordinary. However, Karas never felt disappointed. To him, Abel himself was extraordinary. His gaze and joy never got old. That morning, Karas had planned to stop Abel from going to the forest, but he didn’t tell him not to go. Instead, he grabbed Abel’s arm and led him back inside the palace.

“Ah, Prince, I need to go to the forest….”
“Breakfast.”

Telling him to eat first, Karas quickly strode forward. Then he glanced back and added a reason Abel couldn’t refuse.
“I’m hungry.”

Knowing that Abel would think more about Karas than himself, he believed Abel would naturally follow him. And Abel knew this even better. However, as soon as he heard those words, Abel froze like a statue, unable to move and stopped walking. Even when he felt Karas, who was dragging his arm, stop and notice something strange, turning around, he couldn’t control his stiffened body. What controlled him now was the absurd memory of Karas’ words.
‘I’m hungry.’

This was the first thing Karas said upon waking up, and the same words he said after they finish their kiss. These words were an unwanted key for Abel.
Click, the door to his heart swung open, and the electrifying heartbeat he had forcibly pushed aside and ignored came flooding out like a burst flood. Having unexpectedly encountered Karas, Abel had been trying to ignore these feelings, but it all crumbled away with incredible ease.

Thump, thump, thump.
His heart was beating so loudly that it made his chest heaved as if he were about to hiccup. He turned his gaze away to avoid showing his flushed face to Karas, but his mind being conscious of him only made the heat rise even more. This heat fed into a vicious cycle that made his heart beat faster.

Feeling embarrassed and flustered once again, he tried to twist his arm out of Karas’ grasp.
“N-No, it’s not that. I’m just not hungry.”

Abel stammered, his voice trembling, as he tried to pull his arms free again. But instead, the hand that held his arm tightened, pulling him closer.
“Why?”

The cold, sharp question cut through the air, but Abel wasn’t in the right state of mind to process it. He just wanted to stop the trembling in his heart and the tingling sensation spreading through his entire body. If that wasn’t possible, he at least hoped it wouldn’t be noticed.
He had to act normal.

He had to say something.
Anything.

Following his panicked mind’s instructions, his mouth opened.
“What? Why, why you ask? Haha, because… because I’m not hungry…!”

Karas’ other hand forcibly grabbed Abel’s face up and made him look at him. His mood seemed sour as his eyes, which he had disguised as normal, reverted to its snake-like slits, narrowing coldly as he stared down at Abel.
Ugh! I’m going to get caught!

Abel screamed internally and shut his eyes tightly. He couldn’t bring himself to face Karas in this state. Even as Karas, now even more visibly upset by Abel’s closed eyes, radiated cold atmosphere, there was nothing Abel could do. The only solution Abel could think of was one thing.
Medicine!

He had to take the medicine the butler gave him. His heart was acting strange, so perhaps taking the medicine would make him feel better. While Abel fumbled for the medicine bottle in his hands, Karas asked him again in a low voice.
“Why?”

It was the same question, but it now carried a different meaning. This time, it was laced with a thinly contained anger teetering on the edge. Seeing Abel reject him made his eyes flash gray momentarily. Trembling, Abel managed to take off the cap of the medicine bottle he had found with one hand and bring it to his lips.
“I-I’m sorry. Hah, I just need to take some medicine, prince.”

He mumbled an excuse as he poured the bitter medicine into his mouth. He gulped it down in one go, trying to reassure himself.
I’ll be okay now.

His heart must have worsened again. He thought he was healthy, but he must have been overconfident. Deciding that he needed to be more cautious in the future, Abel took a deep breath. And now that he finally opened his eyes as he was about to look up at Karas, a bigger problem arose.
“Ugh! Argh.”

Abel clutched his chest with his hand and bent over. Instead of getting better, the pain worsened after taking the medicine. He had only wanted to stop the pounding of his heart, but now his chest hurt so much he could barely breathe.
“Ow!”

With a groan, Abel eventually collapsed. Karas, alarmed, lifted him up and looked around at the surrounding soldiers. One soldier, frightened by Karas’ eerie yellow snake eyes, wet himself and fell to the ground, but he could still understand the frost-bitten command that reached his ears.
“Fetch a doctor immediately.”

The doctor, only after having thoroughly examined Able and confirmed his stable condition, turned around and began to explain. In his hand was the bottle of the medicine Abel had taken.
“This can act as a medicine for those with weak hearts, but for healthy individuals, it is a poison that can induce a heart attack.”

Thud.
The sound of the butler collapsing onto the floor in shock was heard, but everyone’s attention remained on the doctor. He kept his head down, avoiding eye contact with Karas out of fear.

“Fortunately, the amount Lord Regas took wasn’t large, and given that Lord Regas inherently had a strong constitution, the detoxification process worked easily. Thus, there are no further issues.”

This time it was Melmond who collapsed, relieved to the point his legs gave out. The doctor continued speaking, unaffected by his reaction.
“However, it seems this medicine should never be taken again.”

A stifled sob escaped someone’s mouth, but it soon became silent. The doctor quickly added that Abel would soon wake up and then retreated.
Karas hadn’t taken his eyes off the sleeping Abel since the doctor started speaking. Even though it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expressionless face, everyone could guess that he was worried. Moreover, the commanders who had rushed over in shock breathed sighs of relief at the doctor’s words. They had almost had heart attacks upon hearing that Abel had collapsed from illness.

If he were upset about Able’s collapse…
“Ashler.”

When Karas finally spoke after a long time, his voice was cold enough to chill anyone who heard it. Ashler quickly stepped forward, responding with a prompt, ‘Yes.’ However, the words that came out of Karas’ mouth were unexpected.
“What’s on today’s agenda?”

Taken aback, Ashler glanced at the other commanders in confusion before hurriedly listing Karas’ duties for the day. Each task was something that required Karas’ personal attention, but Ashler concluded with a suggestion at the end.
“But Your Majesty, I believe it might be best for you to stay by Lord Abel’s side today.”

However, Karas only turned away.
“Inform me if there’s any change in Abel’s condition.”

With that command, he began walking towards the door, leaving everyone in the room staring at him in shock.
Abel had collapsed, shouldn’t he be sending everyone out and staying by his side instead of going to work?

As Karas stepped out the door amidst their confused gazes, Roster hurriedly followed him. Then he turned his head and asked the other commanders who were supposed to follow him in a low voice.

He turned back to the room with a bewildered expression, only to find the reactions of the three people were less than expected. Ashler didn’t even glance at him, Kin just simply waved his hand as if to say, ‘Go on,’ and at least Clara met him at the door, only to shut it right in front of his face.
