Shock utter shock is what everyone felt aside from overwhelming pity for the Demon Clan Princess Erida. She had challenged the Emperor only to be destroyed, some who saw the ending of the fight flinched in terror when her small hand tapped the Emperor"s leg.Thankfully for both the Princess and them he simply walked away, as everyone was recovering from what they had just witnessed they found themselves back within the Palace being stared at.
Those that were to slow and left behind hurried over to ask how the fight went, only to be shoved aside as Tezrian was seen carrying what looked like a lump of raw meat that was till covered in blood. Princess Erida"s red skin did not help them separate her from a large piece of meat.
Seeing this they could only hold open their mouths failing to ask the questions on their minds.
"Leave. The Queen will be here soon empty out the room. The only ones allowed inside during the meeting will be the emissaries their aids and a select few Elders from the Empire, Samara will fetch you once the meeting begins."
Echoed out of my mouth filling the throne room with a domineering aura
Sensing the Emperor"s sour mood the Elders hold in their curiosity and leave, they could ask those who went after they left the throne room after all.
...
"Erida! Erida answer me! I will never forgive him, I swear I will avenge you if you die."
Hearing Tezrian say this in the company of the Emperors wives the other Demons feel cold sweat running down their backs. To their shock none of the women responded to Tezrian they only helped her along the way as she carried Erida.
With their speed reduced due to Erida"s injured state it took them a while before they reached were the Empresses were leading them. Once inside they saw a young man flirting with a beautiful woman, the young man caught sight of their group and shot up from his seat.
"Empress Valara what is going on here? Who is that!? He said as he rushed over.
The body of the near dead person on the back of strange looking girl then took his attention.
Nathaniel examined the b.l.o.o.d.y pulp of a person in front of him, as he went to lay a hand on her it was immediately grabbed with great force, nearly breaking his arm.
"Release him! He is the only one at the moment capable of healing her injuries, or do you wish for your lover to die?"
Valara shouted at the enraged Tezrian snapping the girl out of her rage, she then looked at the calm but sweat filled face of the man in front of her.
"Forgive me I.. Please save her!" Tezrian dropped to her knees letting Nathaniel get a better look at the girl on her back.
As he resumed to check on Erida"s condition he signaled for his a.s.sistants to bring out a large stretcher so he could treat her here, in view of the woman who nearly ripped his arm off.
"What happened to her every bone in her body is broken, ma.s.sive loss of blood on top of ripped and torn muscles I don"t even understand how she is alive.
There is a powerful force of energy flowing through her veins keeping her alive!
With that keeping her alive I should be able to stabilize her condition, after that a few weeks of treatment is all she will need.
This will be the first time I will be using the medical techniques taught to me by Lady Lillie and Rose.
But don"t worry they are simple procedures, I just have to set the bones, transfuse new blood into her body and keep her pain to a minimum or she will die from shock.
What I need from you all is.... Um she is not Human or a Beast I.. I don"t have the blood required for the treatment!"
Nathaniel started at Valara with a bit of worry he had no idea who this girl was only that he was to treat her as that was the only reason she was brought here. The importance of this person was something major that even he could figure out as multiple Empresses were here in his Lab today.
Samara, Tia, Valara, Verena, and Kiera were all here who could bring these women together but the Emperor he had no idea.
"Don"t worry about the blood the five of us will give you as much as you need even if it kills us."
Speaking once again from the side as Nathaniel set up the necessary tools was Tezrian.
Nathaniel just nodded his head and handed each of the five girls that had different colored skin tubes connected to plastic pouches to store their blood. After getting their blood he infused his energy into it.
While holding onto Erida"s body he checked each of the five girls blood to make sure he found a match for his patient.
After checking three out of the five he came to the blood pouch of the fourth girl with little hope but it seemed to be compatible after all. He then instructed her to sit next to him as he would need more of her blood. The others were confused having never seen this type of medical practice before.
"Is there something wrong with our blood? Why could you not use the blood from everyone else?"
He then explained to the worried group that in such a half dead state Erida"s body would reject all foreign blood unless he was able to alter it to match her own. In order to do so he needed blood that was already similar to hers for it to work.
He was talking to the group of girls as his hands went to work mending flesh and bone alike, amazement could be seen on the faces of everyone in the room.
Valara had long heard of his talent and skill in both Pills and medical practices from Teress, but today she could see for herself that he was indeed a genius.
As everyone watched Nathaniel work he cursed the person who brought this problem to him, he knew if he were to fail in saving this girl or her treatment left her crippled in some way he would never hear the end of it.
After mending all her broken bones exhaustion was clearly seen on his face as he looked over to his wife from the Dragon Clan.
"Jill go inside and get me a few recovery pills! Treatment will last a few more hours and I must always have the energy if something unexpected were to happen." As Nathaniel was talking Jill moved over an placed a bright blue pill into his mouth.
"Thank you." With a smile Jill then walks over to greet the Empresses.
"Sister"s what brings you here? When I heard people coming towards us I was sure it was Hanna, coming to brag about her life with the Emperor."
Valara laughs before giving Jill a warm smile, among those from the Dragon Clan Hanna and Jill were extremely close, they had lost their parents and most of their families running away from the calamity that befell their Clan.
They formed a strong bond of sisters since then and after coming to the Dragon Empire and becoming the Dragon Clan they went separate ways, thinking they would rarely be able to interact with one another.
Hanna became one of the Emperors wives while she fell in love and married Nathaniel Frost, to their surprise not only did their bond grow stronger Jill was allowed to train and keep Hanna company.
Through this she got very close with many of the Emperors wives, she found out many other women are allowed train with Valara even if they are not married to the Emperor. This opportunity allowed her to meet many powerful people as she trained gaining her huge amounts of influence in the Empire.
......
Several hours later
"Alright! this should be enough to stabilize her condition, she will need plenty of rest and someone to feed her high grade Pills for the next few weeks. Other than that she is in the clear.
We will provide all the Pills needed for her recovery so if you run low just come back and see me."
Standing up the exhausted man wobbles forward into the embrace of his wife Jill.
The young Demons then express their thanks with a bow, looking down at their Princess lying in a medical bed tears run down the sides of their faces.
Nathaniel still did not get an answer from the group as to who injured her to such a degree, until he was inside his room drinking a cold drink to refresh his state of mind. His wife leaned into him and whispered into his ears that it was the Emperor Dashnell who caused that girls condition after the two fought a duel.
He then spit out his drink as cold sweat dripped from his forehead, earlier he had cursed whoever did this. Now he finds out that the Emperor fought this person, would the Emperor punish him for healing them?
He had to find out and now!
As Nathaniel was getting his things ready to request a meeting with the Emperor Valara walked into the room.
"There is no need for you to visit Dashnell about this, he said for you to focus on your current mission and if you still wish to see him today is not a good day to do it.
He thanks you for healing Empress Erida! She was taught a tough lesson today but from now on she will become one of his wives.
I also wish to thank you Nathaniel, you were more skilled than they had said." After giving Nathaniel a warm smile she walked away.
Valara wasted no time walking away after she said what was needed, Nathaniel shook his head at knowing that was how Lady Valara was straightforward and cold. He then called for a servant to inform the Emperor that he wished for an audience as soon as possible.
