Chapter 389: The Rescue Mission
Noah strode swiftly towards the mansion’s backyard, where the other knights had gathered.
"Noah, wait up!" Emily called out from behind.
The knight abruptly halted his steps and turned to see the young woman rushing towards him.
"Emily, you’ve awakened," Noah responded.
Emily panted, catching her breath after the brief jog. She had been at the knight’s side in the treatment room throughout the night, falling asleep by the bedside.
The landslide caused by the heavy downpour the previous night had resulted in minor injuries to Noah. The knight had been thrown from his warhorse, dislocating his shoulder and bruising his hip.
Concerned about the possibility of internal injuries, Drystan adamantly decided to return despite Noah’s insistence on continuing the mission. The uncooperative weather had impaired their visibility and erased the Bargesians’ tracks, leaving them no choice but to head back.
Ayden had assisted in treating Noah. To ensure a smooth realignment of the dislocated shoulder, he had first administered dwale to put the knight into an unconscious state.
The assistant healer had been adamant about this approach, wary of being accidentally punched in the face by a conscious Noah.
"Why did you suddenly leave, not waking me up?" Emily asked.
"Sir Skyler came after I woke up. He told me the knights were gathering in the backyard. Dame Verns is going to help us track His Highness Prince Kiev and Lady Raychard using the eagles," Noah explained.
