Long Kael did not miss how the mages looked uncomfortable . This little thing he would not have been able to miss .

It was not only noticeable for him because his eyes could even see beyond stealth magic, but also because the other beings inside the room inquired about it .  

One of the female doctors asked what was wrong but, the mage just replied that the wound was bigger than they had originally expected .  

This was not the case earlier . When Mo Rin arrived, the burnt wounds on her back still had s.p.a.ces separating them, and they were not bleeding heavily . But now, it looked more like one big wound .  

They were afraid actually for the possibility of it to get larger or spread to other parts of her body . This type of injury would surely scare anyone as it leaves a deep scar later .  

However, no one had pointed that out, as afraid to anger Long Kael . No one also told him that people were waiting outside of the room who urgently demanded attention .  

The mages' lips were pursed as they started doing what they could do to cure Mo Rin .  

Long Kael watched them with narrowed eyes as the mages open the bottles of healing potion before placing the liquid from it on their hands .  

Advertis.e.m.e.ntThen both the mage's carefully and gently spread the liquid .  

Mo Rin moaned in pain again through her sleep . Her hands were on both sides clenched on the bed .  

'Is she already awake ?' Long Kael asked silently as he stared at Mo Rin's expression .  

He was waiting, getting anxious by every pa.s.sing minute . He was on the verge of shaking her to finally open her eyes . This was the only way he could confirm that she was alright .  

Long Kael admitted to himself that his dragon had been out of control earlier .  

Since they had hurt their mate so badly, his dragon was upset and had the foreseen instinct of her running away from them . To solve that, his dragon decided to take over in a moment and made her unconscious .

Long Kael wanted her to wake up as soon as possible . He wanted to know a lot of things .  

What was her name? Where she came from? 

Why was she running away from him? Did she not know what a mate meant? Can't she feel the connection?

Why was his touch painful to her? 

There was a huge list of questions he wanted to ask .   

"How could this be?" One of the mages murmured after a while with regret written all over her face like she was not supposed to voice that out .  

But she realized it too late . Though it was so softly spoken, it was still enough for Long Kael to hear which made him stop in his line of thoughts .  

Long Kael quickly stepped closer to the mage, "Explain . " He demanded .  

The mage faced him nervously before answering, "I… I… The wounds are not healing, Your Majesty . " The mage looked at the bottle of potion that she was holding . "This is the best healing potion related to magic from Shenxi Auction house . I am sorry, Your Majesty . We are not able to explain what is going on…" She said confused but also terrified .

After hearing that, Long Kael's face turned black . The temperature in the room noticeably turned hotter and dangerous . Since it was a familiar foreboding atmosphere, they immediately stepped back, sensing the danger .  

However, before anyone could beg for mercy, the mage's neck was already in Long Kael's hands .  

"Since you are useless, let me just finish your life . Ok?" Long Kael said before his hand tightened around the mage's neck .

The mage's face paled, tears running down her eyes as she looked at Long Kael terrified . She also gave up on her life since the dragon king was known to be merciless even if you begged .  

The room was quiet as they looked at the mage's face, catching her breath as Long Kael slowly crushed her neck .  

Their hearts were beating fast afraid that after Long Kael took care of the mage, they would be next .  

Until someone broke the silence, "Senior sister…" The voice was soft but husky, accompanied by the difficulty of breathing . It was Mo Rin who had spoken, probably through her sleep or she was waking up .  

Just like that, Long Kael released his hold on the mage's neck and he immediately stepped closer to Mo Rin instead .  

He leaned towards her face and carefully checked her, waiting for her to open her eyes .  

After a while, her eyes did not open . Long Kael placed a finger across Mo Rin's nose to check for her breathing . Then eventually, he stood properly and looked at the mages in the room .  

The one that almost died was still on the floor trying to keep her coughing to herself while the other mage was checking on her .  

"You said the potions you have is the best that Shenxi Auction house currently have?" He asked with indifference .

"… Ye… Ye… Yes, Your Majesty…" the mage that was still alright answered stuttering . In all honesty, they wanted to run away from Long Kael . It was going to be a useless attempt, but at least they will die trying .  

Was it worth it though? No one knew as their life was in the king's hand . They needed to cure the currently injured woman to continue living .  

There were other mages in the palace, but the best magical ingredients were not available .  

Then aside from Shenxi Auction house, from where else could they get a higher quality of healing potion? 

"Very well . Tell Shenxi Auction house to produce a better medicine . If they are not able to cure her within two days, all of their employees will be executed," Long Kael ordered with an evil smile on his face .
