26 Medication

"You got careless, Isn't it?!" said Angus from the corner of the room.

"A-Angus.. How did you…" Before the duke finished his sentence, Angus approached his father and instantly appeared before him [Beast Walk].

Then, without hesitation, Angus grips firmly at his wounded shoulder. The duke immediately felt tremendous pain from it but was still holding it.

Surprised by the sudden grip, the duke could only mutter, "A-Angus…"

But, Angus interrupted his father again. "Look at you. The mighty duke fire dragon can't even react properly towards an eight years old kid attack. What if.. What if… you got attacked by others? What if you died this time? And all of this because of your carelessness!!"

Angus loosened his grip with watery eyes. At this moment, the duke notices that his sons genuinely care about him and know how severe his wound is.

The father could only hug his sons lovingly. "Angus… I am sorry. I made you worry. Yes, I became more arrogant lately and got careless during my fight."

Then, the boy looked at his father, "P-promise me you will never get careless again!"

"Angus…" said Duke Jacob.

"Promise me!!" yelled Angus.

"Haa.. Yes, I promise I will never get careless in battle again." replied Duke Jacob.

"Okay, now let's fix those disgusting wounds in your shoulder." said Angus breaks his hug from his father.

"Angus.. you already kno.." said Jacob

Before Duke Jacob could finish his sentence, "Open your clothes and sit here." Angus told his father to sit in the round chair.

"Angus.. I know you worry about me. But..." said Jacob

"Sit!!" said Angus while glared at his father.

"Haa… Alright-Alright" replied Jacob as he reluctantly followed his son's demand while undressing his upper clothes.

Then, Angus began to inspect the wound after removing the bandage slowly. The wound has already turned black-colored, along with all the veins near it. It's like the wound becoming a parasite that is gradually eating the duke's body.

After looking for a while, "It's truly a disgusting wound" Said Angus after looking at the wound before closing his eyes.

"See… There's nothing you could do about..." The duke stops his sentence as he feels the fluctuation of mana in Angus's body.

Getting a deep breath, Angus opened his eyes, and his black color eyes changed into golden color [Searing Eyes]. At this moment, Angus could see every single detail of the wound until its cell.

The duke startled, looking at his son's eye. He knows this is not an ordinary enhanced mana eyes skill. He could feel that the eyes could see everything about him.

After a while, Angus's eyes turn to normal. "You got lucky that it's not at the vital part. Otherwise, you are already long gone." Said Angus harshly.

"Now, don't move." said Angus while he took a bunch of thin silver needles from his space pouch.

"Angus, what's…" before the duke finished his sentence, Angus used [Searing Eye] once again and stabbed the shoulder using the needle. *Arrghh*

"What the… That hurt!!" said Duke Jacob.

But, Angus only shoves a clean fabric towards his father's mouth.

"Bite it. We don't want to make a commotion here, Aren't you?" Before Angus once again pierce the shoulder with another thin needle.

Usually, this thin needle will not give him any pain since his body is in the sixth grade. But, his wound seems to amplify the pain to unbelievable pain.

The duke feels like every single nerve he has in his body is in pain. However, looking at the serious golden eyes his son made, he decides to held this pain and bit the cloth.

After dozens of needles punctured the wounded shoulder like a hedgehog, Angus took a sigh while having a sweat around his face.

He removed his father's cloth in his mouth, "I already contain all the miasma so it will not spread and eat in your body. Now, this is the harder part. I want you to..." Angus gives various instructions towards his pained father.

Soon, Angus finished treating his father. He collects all the black-colored silver needles and destroys them using his flame spell. Then, he went outside the room while his father already fell asleep in his bed.

The following day, the duke woke up energetically. He feels his body is full of vigor. Then, he looks at his shoulder, where a large scar appeared.

Jacob didn't feel any discomfort or pain that he felt before. Moreover, he thinks that his mana is purer than before.

'All of this is because of one treatment from Angus. Haa.. That boy is a mystery.' thought the duke inwardly before taking a bath.

Later the duke went to the dining hall for breakfast and already found his sons waiting for him.

"Morning, father. Are you feeling well now? you even skipped yesterday's dinner." Asked Vergil worriedly.

"Yes, Vergil. In fact, I feel stronger than before." said Duke Jacob while he flexes his arm.

"Really? I am glad that you are okay." said Vergil.

"Alright, let's start eating. I bet my father is also hungry since not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon." Urges Angus with his lazy expression.

After a few more pleasantries, they begin to eat their breakfast. During their meal, they also talk about various things about the current capital situation.

Apparently, there will be a noble gathering held by the crown prince as they expected. It is because there are unusually many nobles gathered in the capital city.

This is an excellent opportunity for nobles to interact with one another. By interacting, it means flaunting their glory or sometimes successors to others.

Every noble that resides in the capital is invited. That includes Angus and others kids with noble backgrounds.

This will be Angus's first time to attend an official gathering like this. Although Angus didn't like this kind of gathering, he didn't have any choice since he was born noble. He needed to follow some etiquette and norms from the noble society.

'Haa.. I guess when you are in Rome, you need to do it as the Romans did. What another troublesome event.' thought Angus inwardly.

After breakfast, the duke Jacob immediately goes away to do his job as a duke in the capital. At the same time, the three brothers are doing their own things.

As for Angus himself, he excused himself to his bedroom before lazily sleeping like a log since he can't do any training or doing anything he likes without notifying the others.
