At that moment Jessica's lips curved into a mocking smile.

“Oh, this is rich.”

Her perfectly manicured nails tapped against the doorframe. “How much did it cost to rent the car and hire this... assistant?”

She said with a mockery tone.

However Damien did listen to her, he rose quietly from his seat, straightening his simple robes. “Uncle Bernard, thank you for your hospitality.”

“But Damien, we haven't even had tea—”

Uncle Bernard started.

Bernard at that moment just smiled.

“Some matters can't wait.”

He bowed respectfully.

“I'll visit again when time permits.”

immediately Jessica laughter followed him down the path.

“Did you really think we'd fall for such an obvious act? A village doctor with a Phantom Spirit Ultra?”

Damien didn't pause or turn back, simply nodding once to the driver as he stepped into the vehicle.

The car purred away, leaving Jessica and her mother standing in the doorway.

“Can you believe his nerves?”

Jessica turned to her mother, her voice dripping with disdain.

“Hiring actors and renting luxury cars just to impress us!”

Her mother's laugh tinkled.

“Such desperation! As if we wouldn't see right through it, he's as foolish as I thought.”

“That young man Damein,”

Uncle Bernard's quiet voice cut through their amusement.

“has never needed to pretend to be anything other than what he is.”

“Oh, Father,”

Jessica rolled her eyes.

“You're too trusting. He's clearly just a—”

“The Damien I know,”

Uncle Bernard continued firmly, “would rather walk than rent a car for show.”

Upon hearing what Sir Bernard just said.

Jessica and her mother exchanged knowing looks before dissolving into laughter again, their certainty in their own judgment leaving no room for doubt.

“The herbs are prepared.”

Dr. Kyle arranged his instruments on a silver tray, each movement precise and practiced.

“We should begin immediately.”

Sophia watched the steam rise from the medicinal decoction, her heart started pounding.

The treatment would save her grandfather's life, yes, but at what cost? he might be in coma, The memory of what Damien said to them still tugged at her thoughts.

“Wait.”

Her voice cracked slightly. “Please... just wait a moment.”

Upon hearing what Sophia just said Dr. Kyle hands stilled over his instruments.

“Miss Sophia,”

His tone carried decades of authority.

“Every minute we delay—”

Sophia didn't allow Dr. Kyle to finish his words when she interrupted him.

“I've called another doctor.”

immediately the room temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Dr. Kyle straightened slowly, his distinguished features started darkening.

“Another doctor?”

“Sophia!”

Her father stepped forward, his face flushed with anxiety.

“What are you thinking? Dr. Kyle has cleared his entire schedule for us, and it took the grace of Young Master Landon to make this possible and you—”

“The clinic this morning,”

she rushed to explain, pulling out the card Damien gave to her.

And face her brother.

“Remember? The young doctor who knew Grandfather's symptoms just from a cough?”

“A village doctor?”

Her father's voice rose in disbelief. “You're risking Dr. Kyle treatment because of a low life village doctor —”

“He knew, grandfather problem.”

Sophia's fingers tightened around the card.

“He knew exactly when Grandfather's condition would worsen. The timing, the symptoms... everything happened exactly as he predicted. Everything.”

At that moment Sophia's father's fingers tightened on his armrest, uncertainty flickering across his face.

“The Legendary Master Raymond clinic, you say?”

At that moment Sophia's brother wouldn't keep calm.

“Father, she's being fooled! it was just a lucky guess, nothing more. This... village doctor probably sees dozens of similar cases.”

Dr. Kyle who has been trying to make sure the words didn't get to him, by measuring herbs with meticulous care.

However, hearing what Miss Sophia just said he suddenly looked up.

His eyes sparkled with poorly concealed excitement.

“Master Raymond himself? The legendary healer is coming?”

“No...”

Sophia's voice grew small.

“Just... just a young doctor from his clinic.”

They watched Dr. Kyle enthusiasm drain away like water.

His lips pressed into a thin line as he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

“It's disrespectful to think a mere assistant can do better than me? Really, Miss Sophia, this is beneath me and it's an insult.”

At that moment the silence grew heavy as Dr. Kyle set down his measuring spoon with deliberate precision.

“I must be frank. Either I proceed now, or I leave. Choose.”

Upon hearing what Dr Kyle just said

Mr. Oliver's face paled. His eyes darted between his daughter and the renowned physician not wanting to take any chances he decided to agree.

“Dr. Kyle, please, begin the—”

At that moment a voice Interrupted them.

“Stop!.”

The quiet command cut through the room.

At that moment Damien in simple healer's robes stood in the doorway, his presence carrying an inexplicable weight.

“This treatment,”

he stated, his eyes fixed on the herbs, “will trap your grandfather in eternal sleep. He will never wake.”

Upon hearing what Damien just said Dr Kyle eyes turned deadly immediately, he couldn't believe a newbie would dare write off his method of treatment.

Dr. Kyle's face flushed deep red. “You dare—!”

“Guards!”

Mr. Oliver said and pointed at Damien.

“Remove this imposter at once!”

“Father, no!”

Sophia rushed forward, placing herself between the guards and Damien.

“This is him – the doctor I told you about. The one who knew everything about Grandfather's condition from just a single cough.”

“Since you hold my master's exclusive card,”

Damien voice carried a quiet edge, “I will honor his promise, that is the reason I'm here”

Without another word, Damien stepped forward, removing an ancient jade flask from his robe. Without a word, he poured three drops of clear liquid into the air – but instead of falling, they hung suspended. His fingers moved in intricate patterns, and the drops began to orbit each other, forming the ancient symbol for

“life.”

“Impossible...”

Dr. Kyle whispered, his medical bag falling forgotten from his hands. “The Celestial Dew Technique? It vanished with the last imperial physician five centuries ago.”

The luminous drops suddenly shot forward, absorbed instantly into three precise points on the patient's body – throat, heart, and forehead.

“Remove him from all other medicines,”

Damien said quietly, already turning to leave.

“When the frost patterns fade at sunrise tomorrow, he will wake, fully healed.”

At that moment Dr. Kyle stumbled forward, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe he just saw a technique he had long aspired to learn but never came close to master it.

    At that moment, the king waved his hand dismissively and spoke with the tone of someone who believed his brother was connecting dots that didn't actually form any coherent threatening picture.“Well, even if the Supreme King literally dealt with our informants and allies that were positioned inside the military command structure, that action alone doesn't automatically mean or even suggest that he's planning to take over the throne or that he's actively fighting to seize control of my position,” he said with rational skepticism in his voice.The king's expression showed he had his own intelligence sources that contradicted his brother's alarming interpretation.“That isn't even the real issue or the actual explanation for what happened to those people, because I've also heard from my own reliable sources and trusted advisors that those military personnel who were eliminated were clearly involved with that dangerous criminal organization called Circe.”His tone carried justification fo

    At that moment, upon hearing what his brother had just revealed about the Supreme King being the source of the threat to his throne, the king literally stared at his brother with an expression that mixed complete disbelief with genuine confusion about how someone could make such an outrageous claim with a straight face.“Well, this is absolutely strange beyond belief, and this isn't something I was expecting to hear because it's both laughable and utterly ridiculous at the same time,” he said with a tone that suggested his brother might have lost his mind or been fed completely false information by unreliable sources.The king shook his head as he continued. “Both of us know perfectly well, and everybody in the entire kingdom understands, that the Supreme King has never shown any interest whatsoever in anything that has to do with direct involvement in royal family politics or day-to-day governance issues.”His voice carried the confidence of someone stating obvious facts that everyo

    At that moment, the king's younger brother raised his hand in a calming gesture and spoke with the urgent tone of someone who understood his brother's frustration but needed him to focus on the severity of the crisis they were facing rather than getting caught up in procedural complaints.“Brother, you need to calm down and listen carefully because you haven't even heard what this is really about yet,” he said with both respect for the king's authority and determination to make him understand. “Desperate situations literally call for desperate measures, and I know that you're definitely going to question my methods and try to understand why I bypassed normal protocols.”His expression showed both apology for the breach and conviction about its necessity. “But time is no longer something we have the luxury of wasting on proper channels and formal procedures, which is exactly why I literally took the bold step to summon this meeting without waiting for your approval.”The younger brot

    At that moment, Sophia nodded her head with acceptance, her earlier concerns about trusting royal family members fading now that she understood these three women were actually working against the corruption within their own family and risking everything to help expose the truth.“No problem then, I'm going to abide by this arrangement and comply with everything you've set up for my protection,” she said with newfound confidence in the plan.Immediately, Damien smiled with visible relief that she finally understood why he trusted these particular women despite their royal connections, and he glanced at his watch to check how much time they had already spent discussing these matters.“Well, we really should get moving now because we have a lot to do before the protection detail arrives,” he said with urgency creeping into his voice as he started the car again and pulled back onto the road toward her apartment.***Inside the king's secret meeting room, a private chamber deep within the

    At that moment, upon hearing what Damian had just casually revealed about the three women who would be protecting her, Sophia felt her entire body go rigid with shock as the implications of his words crashed over her like a wave of ice-cold water.She stared at him with her mouth slightly open, trying to process information that seemed completely contradictory to everything they had just been discussing about the dangers posed by corrupt members of the royal family.“Are you seriously saying that those three people, those three women who are supposed to protect me, actually belong to the royal family?” she repeated with disbelief heavy in her voice, needing to hear him confirm again that she had understood correctly.Immediately, Damian nodded his head with the calm assurance of someone who had already thought through all the concerns she was about to raise and had solid reasons for trusting these particular royal family members despite the broader threat.“Yes, they literally belong

    At that moment, upon hearing what Damien had just explained about his female friends and their training background, and seeing the sincere expression on Damien's face as he tried to reassure her about their trustworthiness and professional capabilities, Sophia felt her jealousy beginning to fade as she realized how unreasonable she was being about people who were genuinely trying to help protect her during a dangerous time.She nodded her head with the gesture of someone who had decided to put aside her personal insecurities in favor of accepting help that she clearly needed, even if it made her uncomfortable on an emotional level.“No problem then, I'll accept this arrangement,” she said with resignation in her voice. “Since you literally trust these women with something as important as my safety, then who am I to refuse to trust them when you've known them for years and I haven't even met them yet?”Her tone became more genuine as she continued. “I trust your judgment about people
