“Oops.”

Surprised, Brody tried to push him away and gripped his chest. Although River and the black-haired woman were in a state of unconsciousness, it felt embarrassing, as if someone might be watching.

However, without a flinch, he persistently traced her cheek.

Strangely, her cheek felt chilling cold.

‘What is this…?’

Brody shivered, feeling the coldness in his breath.

“Your Highness, it’s… Ah!”

At that remark, Aidan’s movements stopped.

As if just regaining his senses, he slightly withdrew from her with trembling breath.

“I’m sorry, I… ”

As Brody’s movements became a bit more flexible, he touched his own cheek.

Although it felt chilling cold, the wound had disappeared.

“Now, did you heal it? Is this also the power of the ice spirit?”

Aidan covered his entire face with one hand, nodding.

He had the ability to heal but could also freeze the opponent.

If he failed to control his power… Well, it could result in even worse situations than healing.

This wasn’t the kind of impulse he should use this power for.

However, at the next moment, Aidan was dumbfounded by Brody’s exclamation.

“Thank goodness, Your Highness! Having such ability. Now, lick me quickly!”

“Hmm? Uh… Lick…? Do you have injuries again?”

It seemed like an audacious remark, but this was quickly proven wrong in the next moment.

“Oh, not me. It’s the Chief of Staff.”

“Chief of Staff? River?”

“Yes, actually, Chief of Staff needs urgent attention.”

“River is here?”

At Brody’s words, Aidan finally noticed River stuck in the corner.

“What is this…”

“Stabbed with a knife. Near the side. It’s better to stop the bleeding quickly. There’s an emergency medicine upstairs. I’ll bring it. Ah, I fainted… Hm-hm, I did it, so don’t worry.”

“Wait! You!”

“I’m fine. I’ll be right back.”

With that, Brody quickly went upstairs.

Aidan examined River, who was lying on the floor.

Although he was bleeding quite a bit, fortunately, it didn’t seem to be life-threatening.

Aidan applied pressure to his side while looking around.

The scattered powder on the floor seemed to be traces of plants.

Was the plant grown after River fainted? Or before that?

‘No way. He wasn’t caught by River, was he?’

Beside the dust of the plant that turned into powder, there were broken dishes, a knife that seemed to have turned into a weapon, bloodstains, and a person who seemed to have attacked River, lying unconscious.

And also, a glass bottle on the kitchen counter.

‘What is this…?’

Seeing the red bead in the bottle, he realized what Brody had been doing.

“I’m here. Let me see the injuries.”

In the meantime, Brody came downstairs with a bag of medicine.

As she was about to take out the medicine bottle, Aidan said, “Let me do it.”
“No, I’ll do it. It’s better for me to suture the wound. Please bring some clean water.”

Swoosh. Saying so, Brody took off River’s vest and lifted the shirt that was stuck in his pants.

Then, River’s side was clearly exposed.

“B…Brody!”

“Yes?”

Aidan was bewildered. No, as a woman, is it okay to take off a man’s clothes so casually? He could understand it in an emergency situation. However, with such a nonchalant attitude, Aidan felt even more embarrassed.

“Well… After all, a woman touching a man’s body…”

“A man? What man? He’s a patient. Besides, men often take off their upper clothes casually. Seriously…”

“Taking off and being undressed are different, right?”

Being undressed? Unpleasant. It feels like I did something perverted. Brody looked at him with a slightly irritated expression at his words.

“Let’s focus on the treatment for now.”
“That was not nonsense; it was a look urging to bring water quickly.

Since her words were correct, Aidan quickly moved.

Brody first tightly bound the loosely flowing hair.

‘Alright, let’s do it.’

This treatment had to rely on the memories of the original Brody rather than the current Brody.

Although he understood it in his mind, his hands could be clumsy.

Seeing the torn flesh and exposed skin directly for the first time, not in Brody’s memories, his hands trembled slightly due to the unfamiliarity.

‘Be calm. You can do it.’

Wipe the wound, disinfect, and sprinkle a hemostatic agent.

Next.

Brody made plants bloom from River’s side. The thin plant stem repeatedly passed through the flesh, sewing up the wound. It looked like sewing.

This meticulous act required considerable concentration, causing Brody to break out in beads of sweat on his forehead.

Unconsciously, Aidan, who had fetched water, wiped Brody’s forehead with a cloth to prevent the sweat from disturbing him.

Finally, Brody exhaled and raised his head.

“It’s done now. This stem also has a wound-healing effect, so it will help.”

Aidan nodded.

Having seen many wounds from the war, he could tell that River’s condition wasn’t too serious.

“Alright, let’s treat you now.”

“Me? But you treated me earlier. Rather, it would be better to tidy up here first. Move the staff to the bed, and…”

“No, you endured a lot because of River’s child.”

“Endured? What are you talking about, ack!”
