Chapter 442: Chapter-442
The private medical sanctuary was sterile and exceptionally quiet, smelling faintly of crushed eucalyptus and strong antiseptic.Chief Physician Vane sighed softly, taking off his glasses and rubbing his forehead. He wiped his brow with a handkerchief before replacing his spectacles, looking down at Elara’s hand resting on the velvet cushion.
"Your Highness," Vane murmured, shaking his head. "I really cannot find anything wrong with you."
Elara looked back at him, her expression perfectly calm, her posture unyielding. "But there is a strangeness here." She pointed a single, pale finger toward her chest.
Vane sighed again, looking at her intently. "Your Highness, your breathing is normal, your heartbeat is normal, and I even had your blood tested, but I cannot find anything. May I ask... when or how do you feel this strangeness?"
Elara paused, her brow mimicking the slight shadow of a thought. "It actually happens only sometimes."
Vane pulled out a small leather-bound notebook, readying his pen. "Sometimes. Is there any anomaly, perhaps a connection to a specific scent, a flower, a type of food, or something you saw? An interaction with a person?"
Elara paused again. "Well. Julian."
Vane froze, his pen hovering over the paper. He slowly raised an eyebrow. "When?" He cleared his throat. "Does he possess a specific scent that triggers this?"
Elara shook her head slightly, staring past him as if reviewing a ledger of recent events. "Actually, not his scent only. Whenever he talks. Whenever he... shakes his hair. Whenever he argues with me." She pressed her hand firmly against her chest, right over her heart. "There. I feel warmth, like something heating up, and then it starts beating faster. And I feel... slightly confused, I think."
