Chapter 96: Thoughts

He went to King Luke's mansion in order to check his condition. When he arrived, he saw the old man had pale skin tone, yellowish eyes, and nails. Yet, he couldn't determine if that was cancer or not. Since he has no equipment or ability to do that even he came from the advanced world, he still needed a laboratory result to find out the right diagnosis.

Aside from that, even he discovered King Luke had cancer. The question here was, what he could do? He never put himself into the course of the medicine, the herbal medicine was just can be applied to wounds or any injury. So curing cancer would be really hard for him as learning to medical staff took a decade before a certain person mastered it.

As soon as they passed at the golden door that had a lion image. He immediately bowed his head to show respect to the owner of this huge village.

"Good evening, King Luke. I'm Riku Hirota, the inventor you have assigned to improve the village." He said politely and saw the old man slowly open his eyes.

Of course! King Luke didn't fall asleep because disturbing a person who had an illness was inappropriate action. Or to be exact, he was just closing his eyes to lessen the pain that burning his entire chest.

Moreover, King Luke was barely blinking his eyes as it appeared he was having a hard time recognizing this man's voice. The only thing that reminded him was Riku's voice tone, his delivery was different from the villagers here since he was born in Japan.

"Oh, is that you, Riku? Ehem! Ehem!" He coughed and looked like he was going to throw up his lungs.

At this point, he was worried and can't be helped to attain a closer distance against him so that he can check his condition. To be more simple, he wanted to give useful suggestions by any chance.

"Are you okay, King Luke? Tell me what are you feeling right now?" He rushed to them and the precious guards around him were seemed to want to stop him but Arisu immediately ordered them to step back. Knowing this man might have an idea to save his father.

"Let him be! You don't need to stop him. He's just here to see my father's condition." She said in a serious tone while having a worried expression. She can't take to watching her father was always in a pain and got worsened as each day had passed.

To begin with. Riku was helping to rub King Luke's chest after noticing the King was hardly grabbing it. "King Luke, what are you feeling right now?" He asked the same question, at the same time, aware might be King Luke won't respond to him. He could tell by simply looking at his expression.

Argh!

Argh!

He was groaning in pain had no idea how he was going to do lessen the pain. "M-My chest is burning and I feel there's an elephant sitting on it." He stammered, seeing the place was started to hazy and the only thing he could recognize was the yellow-orange light that was given by the chandelier above him.

Even though King Luke described the pain he was experiencing as of now, still, it was way hard to determine since the illness he was knew had the same symptoms. He looked at his behind, "What are you doing? He needed water!" He ordered the guard, didn't care even he sounded for them.

Without making another thought, the guard gave the water. "King Luke, please drink this. It can help you calm down you even a little." He said in a deep tone, then poured the glasses of water on his mouth.

She can't control her emotion as her tears were dripping on her reddish cheeks. After that, she walked closer to them to help Riku assist her father. "Father, are you good? Please tell me?"

"Calm down, lady Arisu. The pain is suddenly gone." He responded, then carefully positioning in proper sit which his head was leaning on the wall.

In his opinion, King Luke mentioned that he felt his chest was burning. So he thought he was having heartburn where the most reason to have this was called Acid. If his intuition was right, doing that process would be a big help.

To bring down the acid, he must sit properly, at the same time, try to drink some water. Well, he quickly erased that idea, knowing if that was the real thing that happened to him. So what was the main reason why the healing ability couldn't heal him? He also mentioned there was an elephant sitting on his chest which gave him a hard time to chest.

After a few were moments. The King's breathing was slowly getting back to its original state, and clearly recognize the man sitting next to him.

"Do you feel better, King Luke?" He asked him once again, hoping that he could find more clues to figure out the problem.

For some reason, the King laughed at him while shaking his head. "Yes, thanks to you."

Honestly, the pain was still there but it wasn't painful as earlier. To describe it, he felt that there was pinching his chest.

He wiped the sweat on his temples and sighed with relief. "I'm glad that you're okay. But I think you should stop roaming around in this village just like what Arisu mentioned to me. She said that you are still visiting the other section to maintain the balance. It's unnecessary, you must rest if you want to protect this village for too long.

His eyes were widened after Riku scolded him. In his mind, it was the first time there was a person who could frankly speak to him. Even though he was in pain, he chuckled and have some strength to squeeze Riku's shoulder. 

"Hahaha! That's my job from being the King of the Arzotoc village. I have to maintain the balance."

Riku smirked, didn't expect the King was hard-headed. "Are you sure? With that condition? You're kidding me." He reclined his back on the chair before adding. "The Arzotoc village needs you, King Luke. If you won't listen to me it may be it's too late."

King stopped as the words of this man piqued his attention. "Too late? B-Based on your speaking, it seemed you have an idea about my condition?" He said in a weak tone.

"Have an idea, however, I didn't sure about it. This is why I am advising you to stay in this room while I keep monitoring your condition. Also, you have nothing to worry about, this village could win against this invasion." He confidently said, hoping the King Luke would listen to him.

On the other hand, Arisu was amazed at how Riku talked to her father casually. In her mind, if it was the other man, he can't open his mouth and have a shivering body. 'He's amazing... How he can talk to my father that they were just like a close friend?" She uttered to her mind, then stepped aside to join with their conversation.

"That's right, Father! You have nothing to worry about because Riku was already finished the first invention for our village." She intervened, "That's the main reason why we are here? Also, Riku wanted to see your condition."

"What it looks like, Arisu? And how are you certain that it would help our village?" King Luke turned his gaze at Riku. "Do you bring any sample out there? So I can see how your inventions exactly work out."

He shook his head, "Sorry to say but I didn't bring them because it's too dangerous."

"He's right, father! The invention he made was just wrapped on the green leaf but once you throw it; it can make a massive explosion that could kill a group of people in just the blink of an eye." She responded to the question. "So father, please heal immediately to have a chance to see the big progress that would happen to our village."

King Luke smiled at her, at the same time, gently patting her head. "Of course, Arisu. I'm still strong, also sorry for making you worry. I can't wait to see that invention once I get back my feet I promise I would come to you, Riku."

"You don't have to apologize, father. More importantly, you should stay in the mansion and gave this job to us. The Commanders, me, and Riku were working together so rest assured that we are going to take the victory." Arisu said confidently, enjoying the soothing feeling in this room.

Meanwhile, Arisu explained how the landmines actually worked and the improvised grenade made by Riku. He was shocked at the destructive power of this invention as it seemed the aftershock reached the Mansion.

The conversation continued until King Luke suddenly sleep for the first time in a while. It appeared that his mind was clear right now and no one could bother his mind.

They left the room and Arisu said something to him. "Come on, Riku, follow me.. I'm going to give your punishment."
