Chapter 412
Afterwards Dudian listened to the origin story of the knighthood . He left the Knight's Hall and rode back to his own castle . He saw a large number of newspaper staff gathered around the entrance . The place was crowded and bustling .
Dudian's face was pale as he felt his body frozen because of cold . He didn't slow down and went straight into the castle .
Neuss who was in front of the gate saw that Dudian wasn't reducing the speed of the horse so he opened the gates for Dudian to enter in .
The reporters were afraid to block Dudian's horse because of the speed . Neuss quickly closed the gate to keep out the crowd .
The horse stopped at the door of the castle . Dudian dismounted and took a deep breath . His body was slightly trembling .
Kroen had prepared the blankets and waited for Dudian .
Dudian stepped into the castle . His body staggered and he almost fell . He coughed up blood . It was extremely dark and had a pungent smell . His vision blurred: "Don't call a doctor . . . "
He fainted before finishing his words .
Kroen tried to help but he only had one arm so he couldn't hold his body .
Gwyneth who was dressed as maid quickly took hold of Dudian's body . Both of them saw that Dudian didn't respond . She saw that there was faint reaction from his eyelids . Gwyneth's brows wrinkled as she grabbed him and walked upstairs . She told to Kroean: "Make the reporters go away!"
Kroen wanted to go out but Nicholas interfered .
"I will go!" Nicholas said and left .
Kroen quickly went upstairs .
Gwyneth kicked open the door of Dudian's study room . She came to the sofa by the edge of the fireplace . She looked at Kroean: "Add wood . . . He may be sick . "
Kroen tried to add wood but remembered that he was only one-handed . There were few people left in the castle as Dudian had sent back the other servants . The only one idle right now was Sergei .
"Too cold!" Gwyneth touched Dudian's left arm . She felt like she has touched a block of ice . She felt that Dudian's body temperature was very normal when she carried him up .
She touched Dudian's forehead and it was warm . Then she touched his neck and counted the frequency of the heartbeat . It was slow . She reached out and touched Dudian's chest .
"So cold!" Gwyneth was scared . It was incredible that he was alive since his body temperature was so low .
Gwyneth remember the legendary magic marks that Dudian had . However she knew that even if she took them out they couldn't be used again . She frowned as she thought about the possibility of such a low body temperature . Is it caused by the legendary magic marks?
Is it the side effect of having legendary magic marks?
Or something else?
Sergei and Kroen added wood and lit the fireplace .
Sergei came to check Dudian when Kroen began to ignite the fire . Sergei looked at Gwyneth: "Did he really faint? Was he attacked on the way back?"
Gwyneth replied: "He isn't hurt . "
"Maybe he was poisoned because of a meal or drink . . . "
Gwyneth shook her head: "Do you think he will eat anything else after the hot soup even? He may not eat even in the Knight's Hall . . . "
Sergei frowned: "Since that may not be the case then is it some kind of disease from before?" Sergei looked at Kroen: "Do you know about his old diseases? Ask Old Fulin if he is aware of anything . . . "
Kroean was lighting up the fire . He didn't know much about Dudian after he had left the orphanage . The only one aware of Dudian's condition could be old patriarch: "Alright, I'll write to him now . "
Gwyneth suddenly said: "Wait . "
Sergei replied: "What?"
Gwyneth looked at Sergei: "Old Fulin shouldn't know about him even if he had a sickness . Otherwise, he would let us know before going to come . If we send a message to old patriarch then the enemies will know about the news and his condition will be exposed . He asked us not to look for a doctor . He didn't want the news to be spread!"
Sergei shrugged his shoulders: "What if its spread out? What are you afraid of? I will kill everyone who comes to attack! "
Gwyneth coldly looked at him: "Are you sure that there is noone stronger than you in the outer wall?"
Sergei was startled as he stopped talking .
Gwyneth continued: "We can't leak the news . Tell the reporters that master will give interview only to 'New World News' and send them off . "
Kroen hesitated: "This, this . . . "
"It will inevitable lead to speculation if you don't say anything and there will be people who would be interested in knowing the situation . " Gwyneth continued: "We will hide this matter . And if he wants to blame anyone when he wakes up then its alright to blame me!"
Kroen replied: "Alright . "
Sergei reached out and touched Dudian's face: "it's too cold" He looked at Gwyneth: "He isn't dead but how can his body be colder than undead?"
"He is not dead if his body colder than dead people . " Gwyneth said .
Sergei looked at her: "Maybe he is testing us by trying to tempt us?"
Gwyneth indifferently replied: "You can try . . . "
Sergei repsonded: "I don't plan to try anything . There is nothing to benefit off even if he really died . At this point I don't see a trea as huge as him in the outer wall . . . There is no better shade to rely on . "
"Whatever . " Gwyneth replied in disdain .
Cage laughed: "Isn't it? You can rely on him if you want to enter the inner wall . Moreover if we go to other consortia we will be treated as pawns . Additionally we have fought in a battle together . Even though we have no love but we are friends at least . So don't be cold towards me . Alright?"
"Don't irritate me more . " Gwyneth coldly said .
The temperature of the room rose because of the fire and it got warmer .
Few hours passed in the blink of an eye .
Dudian slowly opened his eyes . He felt as if his body was soaked in cold water . His stomach tumbled . He had kind of a nauseous feeling . Dudian felt drowsy and painful . He was reluctant to open his eyes . Artemis was the first person who he saw when he opened his eyes . Her little face was full of worry .
Dudian felt warm . He saw that Gabriel and Gwyneth were behind her .
"Master, you woke up!" Artemis cried out in surprise .
Everyone in the room hurried over in surprise .
Dudian glanced at Gwyneth, Sergei, Kroen and others . He sighed in relief: "Get me a pillow . "
