Chapter 76: Returning a favor (3)
"Since it was a gift from the palace, I put it away in a secret place," Edwin said as he searched the shelves for where he had hidden the cream. He made sure to take special care of it since it came from the king himself.
Rafael stood in the left corner of the room, watching Edwin search for the cream the king had sent him to heal his injuries. The palace had all sorts of unique medicines that only royalty could get their hands on.
Being the generous friend that he was, Tobias sent the cream, which was known to make a wound vanish if you used it regularly, to Rafael and Edgar. No one else would be able to get their hands on it since the man, who had travelled around the kingdom and outside of it to find new ways to heal someone, only made it for the palace.
Rafael had forgotten about it until now. "You can use it as you like. When the knights get injured and come looking for something to heal their wounds, give it to them."
Almost every day, a knight would break a part of their body. Rafael needed whatever he could get his hands on to make them heal quickly.
"The king sent it especially for you so he would not have to worry about your body. I have already spent the money you have set aside on medicine and other necessities for when the knights injure themselves. Not just anyone receives a gift from the king, so you should cherish it and use it as the king intended for it to be used," said Edwin.
Edwin saw it as a waste to give it to the knights, who injured themselves every second. The cream would be gone in a day if Edwin used it on them.
Rafael folded his arms. "When it runs out, I only need to send one letter to the king, and he will have a crate of them sent to me. Give it to the knights when they come looking for a cream to put on their wounds. My life would be easier if they had it."
If one of his wishes could be granted, Edwin would like for it to be that Rafael would put himself before others sometimes. He had applied cream to Rafael’s body after he returned from his expeditions and saw the many wounds Rafael had. Rafael was not some sort of God, but a mere human. He needed to put the same effort he put into taking care of his servants, into caring for his body.
