The old orc subconsciously stood on tiptoe, blocking Samuel's view into the bedroom, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said:

"That's right, but ...... The details will have to wait for Mr. Gotte to see it, but Your Excellency the Prince should first move downstairs! I'll have someone show you the way. ”

"I see. Samuel's eyes sank when he heard this, but he didn't insist on staying, but lowered his head slightly, pulled Charles, and followed a maid assigned by the old orc to go downstairs.

"Your Excellency. You...... Have you been to see my father?" Armand, who came in a hurry, and his uncle and nephew who came up and down from the upper floor, just bumped into each other, and took a step forward with a hint of hope on his face.

"...... are you?" Samuel looked at the aristocratic male in front of him with black and gray hair and about the same age as himself, slightly familiar, but he really didn't recognize who the other party was for a while.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Armand, I met you in the Intraroyal City, remember?"

Armand didn't feel embarrassed, after all, it had been almost twenty years since that meeting, and he and Samuel had actually changed a lot, so much that he didn't think it was strange that the other party didn't recognize him.

"It's you......" Samuel finally showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

"It's me, that, my father ......" Armand hesitated, although it was very inappropriate to ask this question as soon as they met, but now for him, whether it is public or private, the most important thing is his father's illness.

"Mr. Gotte has already gone in, and I'm being shut out, so wait a minute! What the hell is wrong with him, Grand Duke?" said Samuel, looking at Armand.

"That's right......" Armand's face showed a look of disappointment, and he paused for a moment before stretching out his hand in the direction of the sofa, "Your Excellency, please take a seat first!"

"You might as well call me Samuel! With that, Samuel followed Armand to the couch.

After the two sides were seated and the servants served tea, Armand said: "This is the medicinal tea prepared by the city doctor, although the taste is not very good, but you and this ......"

"Oh, this is my nephew, Charles. Although Charles had been incognito all the way, he had already entered the castle of Datu, and the Grand Duke of Datu was like that, so Samuel could not hide it.

"What?" Armand originally only had a slightly sad face, but when he heard Charles's name, he suddenly changed, and jumped up from the sofa, "This, this, this...... His Royal Highness the Prince...... Samuel, you ......"

"The plague isn't just as rumored, and only spreads among the feathered orcs, right?"

Samuel looked at Armand and didn't understand anything, although his face was a little solemn, but he had come here, and it was impossible for him to pack Charles back again.

Not to mention the long distance, he didn't feel at ease if he lost Charles's return, so he said that there was really a bad one, and it would be too late to send Charles away at this time, let him go, and if he didn't do it well, he would bring the epidemic back to the royal city.

"Someone!" Armand heard this, but he didn't bother to answer Samuel's question first, and directly called the servant, ordered the room and things to be prepared, and then led Samuel directly through the kitchen at the back of the living room, towards a servant's room in the backyard.

After the servants were in and out of the only large wooden barrel in the empty servant's room, filled with water that smelled of strong herbs, Armand, with a calm face, looked at Charles and said:

"For the sake of His Highness's safety, you will have to take a bath with this potion every morning and evening in the future, and you must not be idle, you know?"

"You can rest assured. Hearing this, Charles looked at Armand and nodded solemnly, and was sent into the room by the servants to take a medicinal bath.

When the door was closed, Armand sighed, leaned against the door, lowered his head, and said:

"At first, my father thought that as the doctors said, the disease only spread among the feathered orcs, and he would often go out of the city to see the temporary settlements built outside the city, but it wasn't until half a month ago that the old and young in the city began to fall ill one after another, and even my father ...... Alas......"

"No wonder ......" At first, Samuel was surprised that there were too few people on the street, but at this time, he understood.

After such a toss, Gote had already seen the Grand Duke of Datu, followed the servants, and found the two of them.

"You guys...... What about Charles?" asked Gotte, looking at the two of them with solemn faces.

"Medicated bath inside. Samuel pointed to the closed wooden door before asking, "How is the condition of the teacher, Grand Duke Dato?"

Hearing this, Gotte nodded, looked at Armand and said in a deep voice:

"Your father's condition is not too good, in case...... You have to prepare early and call your brothers back as soon as possible.

He has been feverish for too long, even if he survives, his body will be much worse than before, and as long as there is a slight problem in the future, he will get sick, which is the most troublesome. ”

"Teacher?!" Samuel's eyes froze when he heard this, and he was even more anxious than Armand at this time.

You must know that Datu City is an important city in the northwest border, and in this period of rampant epidemics, if the Grand Duke of Datu dies like this due to illness and bears the title of Grand Duke, then the matter will be a big deal.

At that time, even a small knight in the fiefdom of the Grand Duke of Datu is qualified to compete for the title of Grand Duke, and no matter how brave the Kirk brothers are, they will not be able to stop the challengers who will go forward and succeed.

This is also why, even if the Snow Wolf Country is a royal family, no one has always occupied the throne until death.

In normal times, this rule set by the ancestors of the wolf clan can make future generations forge ahead, and it can also make the vigilance of the nobles from generation to generation strong, but now in this extraordinary period, this rule is not so reliable, and its hidden dangers are endless.

To put it mildly, the Northwest would fall into chaos without the control of the Kirk family.

To put it mildly, once the northwest is in turmoil, and no one wholeheartedly stops the spread of the epidemic, then the entire Snow Wolf Country will follow in the footsteps of the Feather Country, and today's plague is no longer only the time when the Feathered Orcs will be infected.

"What's the panic?!, I said it must be cured?" Gotte looked at Samuel and scolded him.

After hearing that his father's condition was not good, Armand, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth at this time, "Mr. Gotte, no matter what method you use, you must let your father live, if it really doesn't work......"

Speaking of this, Armand, who was leaning against the wall, began to tremble in his voice, originally a tall man of 1.9 meters, but at this time he seemed to be only 1.7 meters tall.

His fists were clenched, his shoulders trembled, although he kept hanging his head, making people unable to see his face clearly, but the choked voice that was forced to calm himself could not be controlled, as if he had used all his strength to continue to speak.

"If, if it really doesn't work, please also find a way to let your father survive the succession competition, Datu City, no, can, mess !!"
