Chapter 426 A curses secret
Nana stepped out of the medical room with Sanguina, the scent of antiseptic lingering in the air. The nurse who had just been caring for her looked on with confusion. "Ar- Are you Lady Nana?"
Nana gave a short bow and stated, "Yes, that's me, though not as short as before. Thank you for the great care you gave me." She offered a warm smile before continuing, "I was wondering, where is everyone else that was injured during the raid on the cave?"
The nurse put a finger under her chin, eyes drifting to the ceiling in thought. "I believe most of everyone has been released, minus the boy named Pegasus and his lady friend who had a dozen stitches and a lot of blood loss. She's awake and all that but is just taking time to recover from the injuries."
Nana nodded thoughtfully. "I see, and what of Pegasus?"

She's awake and all that but is just taking time to recover from the injuries."
Nana nodded thoughtfully. "I see, and what of Pegasus?"
The nurse's expression turned somber. "He has still yet to wake up. I believe the attack he was hit with had some paralysis components to it. He's been back and forth from being presumed dead and not for a few days now."
Nana gripped her hand and stated, "I see. Well, I do hope he begins to get better. He did so much for us back in the caves; I would hate to see him pass away so young."
The nurse nodded. "Sure, though he is under severe care at the moment, so please be respectful of anyone you run into."
Nana and Sanguina nodded as they followed the nurse down a long hallway. They passed through a set of white double doors before arriving at a screened window. Through the window, they saw Pegasus lying on a bed with a tube in his lower stomach and dozens of needles all around his body, pumping what seemed to be blood and a blue liquid through his veins.
Nana, confused, asked, "Wh-what is the blue stuff going into his veins?"
The nurse shook her head. "Sorry, I can't really disclose anything like that without proper authority. But you can watch from here and pray or do whatever you like. Please, just do not go inside the room as everything is sterilized."
A voice came from behind them as a door slid open. "No worries, Nurse Fiona. Thank you for taking the time to escort the awakened Lady Nana and our new guest, Lady Sanguina, to our friend Pegasus."
Nana and Sanguina turned to see King Griswald, his face lined with wrinkles, covered in small patches of snow and blood, with a few cuts marring his skin.
Nana, confused, asked, "What happened? Why are you bleeding?"
King Griswald, holding a handful of yellow flowers, smiled gently. The nurse stepped forward and took the flowers from his hands. "Lady Nanako, this is not my blood, so do not worry," he said reassuringly. "I did not spend any time cleaning up as I wanted to get these here as soon as possible. A few wolf creatures and mountain frostbites slowed me down a bit, but I'm glad to help.
Pegasus did a lot for me when I failed to be there for those I should have been."
Nana looked at the yellow flowers in the nurse's hands, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Thank you for going to such lengths to help Pegasus," she said softly.
