"Derila, I'm sorry." William said apologetically, "it seems like you guys are always
fighting because of me."
"It's nothing to do with you, he's the one who's being careful." Derila was a little
exasperated, "I have a pure friendship with you, and I'm taking care of you to cure your
illness, nothing personal at all, he just doesn't trust me."
Hearing these words, William's lowered eyes had a trace of loss, indeed, Derila
had no half personal feelings for him, only the duty and friendship of a doctor.
But soon, he raised the corners of his lips again and looked at Derila with a smile,
"Care is a matter of concern, he also cares about you."
Derila did not reply and ate her breakfast seriously.
"Derila, " William looked at her in a complicated way, looking like he wanted to say
something.
"What's wrong?" Derila could see that something was on his mind.
"Nothing, eat your breakfast." William changed the subject, "The shrimp dumplings are
good today, try them."
"Just say what you have." Derila was anxious, "Men don't be abrasive."
"I was trying to say….If this incident involves you, I'm afraid it will also involve
Mr.Lierger." William was worried, "If it does involve him involved, that would be the
end of it."
"No, why would this involve him?" Derila didn't understand.
"After Clark reported that you tested my castle here for poison, His Majesty's first
reaction should be to check you out, and knowing that you are the identity, while very
persuasive, is not enough to offset his favoritism towards those houses unless…"
"Unless they are made aware that I am Daemon's fiancee?" Derila finally listened
and understood.
"I'm afraid Clark will say that." William was ashamed, "The reason why I hesitated again
and again and didn't report upwards was also because I was worried about implicating
you and Mr.Lierger. Alas, I shouldn't have invited you here."
Derila was silent for a moment and said with a frown, "It's fine to involve me in this
matter, after all I'm a doctor, I came to see you and the test for poisoning is also my job,
even if my identity is exposed, it won't have much impact. But involving Daemon, it's
not good. He is in Erihal with enemies in his belly and in crisis, although he is strong
and calm, but I have never done anything for him, so I don't want to burden him
because of my fiancee's name either."
"Yes." William nodded repeatedly, "I'm worried too, and just hope Clark doesn't mention
that."
"I hope Clark doesn't mention it either." Derila was rare and serious, "But if he did
mention it, it would be understandable, after all, more than eighty lives are at stake, or
rather, he also mentioned Mr.Lierger in order to save me."
"That's true." William nodded and said, "If I didn't say you were Mr.Lierger's fiancée,
I'm afraid His Majesty would really have arraigned you and those houses would have
had to come down on you. But these are also my guesses, Clark won't necessarily say
anything, and even, there is a chance that he won't see His Majesty."
"Why?" Derila froze for a moment, and asked, "Could it be that those cousins of
yours will go after Clark?"
"That's what I'm worried about." William frowned, "The letter he left said he left at
4:30am, and it's now eight o'clock and there's no sign of him, I just called the Silas and
no one answered, I'm really worried."
As ther were talking, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside, followed by an
attendant hurrying to report, "Your Highness, Mr. Clark has returned."
"Quick, push me out quickly." Derila went out with William to check and saw several
attendants carrying Clark off the cart.
Clark had been shot in the abdomen and was covered in blood, his face was Whyte and
he was breathless.
The first thing he did was to get to the hospital to stop the bleeding and then have him
carried to the medical room.
