qFrancesca did not understand, nor did she want to understand. “I don't get it. This is a
headache. You royals and your complicated family feud.”
“Yeah, that's why I'm jealous of you. You can be carefree; you can always be yourself.”
That sentence came from the bottom of William's heart. If he had the choice, he would
rather be someone like Francesca, who was genuine.
Unfortunately, one could not choose who they were born as.
Francesca was busy scribbling down the prescription of medications and had not paid
attention to what William was saying.
“Ask someone to buy these medications in large quantities from pharmacies.” Francesca
handed the prescriptions to William. “By the time His Majesty arrived to examine the
situation, I would start the treatment for everyone in the castle.”
“Okay.” William passed the prescription to the subordinate beside him and advised, “Keep
it low-key. Don't let anyone find out.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” With that, the subordinate headed off.
“You sure are miserable for a prince...” Francesca could not help but sigh. “You have to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsneak around even just to buy medications. If you still don't fight back, you wouldn't be
able to stay in Danontand much longer.”
“I know.” William heaved a deep sigh. “I can drop everything here and leave, but what will
happen to them? Their census and archive are all in the palace. Their whole lives would be
spent here. They used to work for my parents, and then they started working for me. They
have spent a great deal of their lives within these castle walls. If I leave, they'll have no
one else.”
Francesca encouraged, “It's good that you can come to that conclusion. We all have our
roles and responsibilities in this world. Because of our responsibilities, we have to muster
up the courage. We cannot let others bully us.”
He nodded firmly. “You're right. After this incident, I finally understand this principle. I
won't let you down again.”
“All the best!” Francesca patted his shoulder. “Let's go to your room. I'll take a look at your
legs.”
“Okay.”
Francesca inspected William's legs and started giving him medication and acupuncture.
After a series of treatments, she broke the silence. “Good thing the problem is discovered
on time, so there's still a chance of healing. However, because of this issue, the treatment
is going to take longer than what we initially planned.”
“I'm fine with that. After all, I've been crippled for twenty years. I'm just worried that it'll
affect you. You've already spent so much time here, causing you to be separated from
Danrique. If this continues, he might get angry...”
“Then let him be,” Francesca retorted stubbornly. “If he likes getting mad, I can't do
anything about it.”
“But—”
“Done.” Francesca interrupted him and changed the subject. “For the next few days, let
your legs rest and stock up on the medications. You have more than eighty people in your
castle. We'll need a large supply of antidotes. Not to mention that I'm not very familiar
with the medications in your country, so I would need to run some tests first. All that will
take time, so it will help if you can prepare everything as soon as possible. At the same
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtime, it would be helpful if you can get me some crude medicine from Zarain, just in case.”
William nodded. “Noted. I will personally supervise the whole process. Don't worry,
Francesca.”
“Okay. I'll go rest in my room. Call me if there's anything.”
Francesca quickly left. In reality, her phone was running low on battery. She wanted to
return to her room so that she could charge her phone and call Danrique.
She had never been one to cave regarding relationships. However, she had been dragged
into William's mess, and it was very likely that Danrique would be too.
She believed that she had the responsibility to explain to him what was going on.
After taking a sip of water, she charged her phone and began to dial Danrique's number.
However, no one picked up even after a long while.
Francesca found it odd. According to the time zone differences, it should only be nine in
the evening in Xendale. Danrique should still be working at that time. Why isn't he picking
up the call?
Even if he was mad at her when she had called him twice the night before, his anger
should have dissipated by now. I've already taken the initiative to call him. Why is he still
not picking up?
