Chapter 274: A Brother’s Frustration
The royal healer came and attended to Rafe while the rest of the group was ordered to wait outside the room. Only Callis was permitted to stay by his side.
When the treatment was complete, the royal healer reassured everyone that Rafe had fainted due to shock, and there was no cause for alarm. He advised that the healer needed some rest to recover.
Meanwhile, the grand duke gathered his men and explained the situation regarding the unexpected marriage announcement. Although it was surprising, they understood and respected the king’s decision. It was the best solution based on the circumstances. The group then dispersed, and the grand duke departed to meet with his wife.
As the knights walked through the hallway, Damon suggested, "I think we need to inform Sir Navin about this."
Out of respect, Damon addressed Eric with his title, even though they were not currently on duty. Damon and Eli, both trained by Garin and Eric respectively to become ordained knights, always referred to their superiors by their titles.
"Yeah, I think so too. The mansion’s occupants should be informed about this," Garin chimed in. "Just wait until Ayden finds out. He’ll be utterly shocked!"
"I’ll go back to the mansion and let them know," Noah, who had remained silent until now, offered. "My shift is ending anyway."
"Ah, right!" Damon exclaimed. "It’s Sir Jarr and Sir Mills’s turn now."
"Oh, boy! I can’t wait to see Sir Navin’s reaction to all this!" Eli exclaimed, his blue eyes gleaming with anticipation.
The thought of witnessing Eric’s response to the news filled him with excitement. They were all well aware that the second-in-command knight was Rafe’s best friend.
Despite their occasional quarrels over trivial matters, they had grown up together, forging a deep bond over the years. The young knight couldn’t help but imagine the mix of shock and concern that would cross Eric’s face upon hearing the unexpected turn of events.
