Drip. Drip.
Blood dripped down into the bowl slowly. The amount had already doubled in amount and Ian could tell instinctively that this was enough.
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wrapped it around his wrist, making the blood stop flowing out temporarily. He was going to take a potion after curing Olivia completely.
As he tightened the hankerchief holding one side with his teeth and the other with his other hand, the other's felt shivers down their spine at Ian's barbaric actions.
He was the young master of a Duke's house, someone who hadn't ever taken part in any original battle, someone who shouldn't have experienced anything painful throughout his childhood.
But these barbaric actions, and his indifferent gaze, they were things that others would only expect to see in someone who was a war veteran or torture expert.

And depending on that information alone, one could easily guess what type of torture he made himself go through to find Olivia's cure. Miller stood beside the bed and tried to check Ian's condition.

Seeing his lords panicked expression, he quickly approached them. "The young master has a fever?!"

Rianne was still there, but she wasn't a presence that Ian had to pretend in front.The change in his attitude had such a gap that it made the other's in the room question whether they were the same person."Was that too hard?"Albert asked with a concerned expression. He was, unlike the others, unfamiliar with Ian's cruel or vicious side. And even if he ever came to know it, he'd just shrug it off as Ian doing things in self defence."......."Ian do

You also know what kind of disaster you're storing inside that little mansion of yours."Reynold said as he massaged his temple. He was having a pretty bad headache at the moment."I can't tell you the details.But I swear on my name, not even one person inside that mansion will hurt the kingdom in any way.""...How are you so sure?""Because they're my people.""What an absurd logic.
