"It’s not like I can suddenly stop my stress," murmured Primrose.
Dr. Celdric guided her to sit on one of the beds, placing a pillow behind her back so she could lean comfortably. "Of course, Your Majesty. It’s only natural to feel this way. Others feel it too."
But in truth, the only ones who actually seemed stressed were the human doctors, Callen, and herself. Everyone else looked calm. Salem, for example, had spent the entire time trying out every bed in the underground chamber as if he were on a holiday.
Was Primrose being overly dramatic? Callen was a beast, but he was a newcomer, while Dr. Grace and Dr. Alina were humans who had never experienced anything this terrifying before.
Then, Primrose suddenly heard Lorelle’s thoughts. [This place is cozy and quiet. I could probably sleep here for a damn two days straight.]
Lorelle was lying on one of the beds, having pulled the blanket up to her chin as she prepared to sleep.
[If Edmund and that bastard can finish the battle by the time I wake up, I’ll give them treats.] she continued.
"You look calm, Dr. Celdric," Primrose said softly. "I suppose this isn’t your first experience."
Dr. Celdric signaled Dr. Grace to fetch a bottle of water for her before replying, "It isn’t, Your Majesty. Actually, this is the second time I’ve found myself in such a dire situation."
He rarely came to the palace, in fact, only a handful of times. More precisely, he only came when Edmund was approaching his rut period to give him the proper medicine to suppress it.
However, one time he’d been unlucky because the palace was suddenly attacked by a pack of werewolves. Fortunately, Edmund hadn’t entered his rut period yet, so he was able to wipe them out easily.
"Today’s situation is still better," Dr. Celdric admitted. "At least I was able to reach the hiding place."
[Back then, it was like standing on a battlefield. I even had to smear poison over my skin so no one could touch me easily.] he thought bitterly. [Her Majesty’s presence is truly a blessing.]
Primrose couldn’t imagine how terrifying it would be above ground, and the thought alone made her even more uneasy.
What happened to her husband now? Could he fight them easily? What if the Alpha of the pack had injured him so badly that he wasn’t able to stand up?
"Relax, Rosie," Lorelle said lazily from the bed beside her. "I’ve watched those devilish two fight for years, and trust me, they’re nearly impossible to kill."
She added, "I just hope my brother Edmund comes back without too many wounds. As for the other one ... whatever. He can take a sword straight to the stomach and I wouldn’t care."
