Chapter 241: 241

Chapter 241

Poliana went to the royal doctors as ordered by the emperor. She was the only one that crazy day who got injured. It wasn’t really that she was unlucky; it all happened partly due to her sense of duty. When she entered the room, the doctors gathered around in shock. The doctors were already feeling confused and fearful because they witnessed soldiers and knights running around the castle. The entrances and exits of the castle were all closed, and several frightening rumors were spreading already. Some believed that Lady Tory had gone crazy while others heard that the Acreian nobles started a rebellion.

The royal doctors have been too scared to leave their clinic, especially because one of the royal guards warned them not to roam around the castle without a good reason.

The doctors were also dying of curiosity. What the heck was happening outside? And when Poliana, who must have the answers to their questions, appeared, they were beyond excited.

But as soon as they saw her injury, the doctors’ fears grew even more.

‘Marquess Winter is injured… Why?’

‘She isn’t even one of the guards on active duty… She is one of the heads, so why is she injured? What happened?’

‘Are there other injured out there?’

The leader of an army unit was not supposed to be a dangerous job. It was more of a desk job since the main duty of the head of a division was to train and control the royal guards. This was why there was no age limit to when the division leader needed to retire. An old person of over 60 years could do the job.

So the fact that Poliana was injured… The doctors became scared.

‘Is there really a rebellion going on?’

‘But I thought none of the guests were allowed to carry weapons inside the banquet hall.’

Then, the doctors noticed Poliana’s outfit. Instead of her usual uniform, she was wearing a dress. This fact meant that she must’ve been off duty during the party. Yes… she became injured. This could mean only one thing; something very bad has happened that endangered the wives of the emperor!

Poliana’s beautiful green dress, which was the same color as the emperor’s eyes, was soaked in her blood. The doctors were used to treating wounded noblemen. There were odd times when they helped some maids who cut their hands with scissors or a piece of glass, but they have never seen a noble lady bleeding profusely.

Thankfully, one of the doctors who participated in a war as a military doctor, had the sense to help Poliana. He yelled, “What do you think you are all doing?!” He ran towards Poliana with the necessary tools. He was frustrated at his colleagues, but the military doctor himself was also shocked by seeing a lady hurt so badly.

When he got closer, he realized that it was Poliana Winter, which was someone he knew before.

“Marquess Winter, how does your injury feel?”

“Oh, you. Long time no see. My wound isn’t so bad this time. Only a flesh wound. And thankfully, I am the only one injured today. But you should get a couple of the doctors to go visit the emperor’s wives to make sure they are doing okay.”

Poliana ordered the doctors and began to chat with the military doctor. When she kept trying to take her dress off, the doctor stopped her.

“If you keep moving like that, you are going to make your wound bleed even more. You know this, Marquess Winter, so why do you keep doing it?”

“I guess I am a little shocked myself too.”

Today, Poliana was given the opportunity to watch a battle as an outsider. Until now, she had entered all of the battlefields as Lucius the First’s knight. She had never expected to be a bystander of war, especially a war that was started by a woman. Poliana felt excited as if she came from a battle herself. She felt like she just experienced a great victory.

‘Maybe this is why the man goes crazy about illegal dog fights?’

Poliana hated unexpected situations, but today, she didn’t feel upset. Was it because she wasn’t in the middle of this war? The military doctor used his scissors to cut into Poliana’s dress to get to the wound. It had to be done as quickly as possible before the blood dried; the doctors would’ve ripped her clothes off if this happened in the middle of a war.

Suddenly, one of the younger doctors asked the military doctor, “Should you be doing that?”

“Huh?”

The military doctor became confused as the younger doctor pointed at Frau, who was in the corner trembling. The younger doctor explained, “I mean… I know it isn’t official, but Marquess Winter is to marry Frau Sneke, right? S-so… shouldn’t Doctor Sneke be the one treating her wound?”

“Oh, that’s right!”

The military doctor remembered that Marquess Poliana Winter indeed was a noble lady. A lady who was going to get married next year!

When a noble lady needed treatment, the room needed to be cleared as much as possible. Only the necessary people were allowed to stay and the curtains were also prepared just in case.

The military doctor realized that one of his bad habits from the war times remained with him. Poliana also forgot that she was a noble lady.

Since her future husband was a doctor, there was no need for the military doctor to treat her. He apologized, “Oh, I am very sorry. Please forgive me, Marquess.”

‘Oh, that’s right!’

Poliana nodded seriously, acting like a proper and generous noblewoman. She and Frau moved to a private room. As Frau grabbed his tools, he looked upset.

“Marquess, are you sure you’re really ok?”

“It hurts, of course.”

Her bone was fine, but a knife pierced through her flesh, so of course, she was in pain. Because Poliana looked so calm, everyone assumed she was feeling just fine, but she was only pretending out of pride. All knights were like this. Those who endured pain well were considered the greatest knights. Poliana was raised this way as well. She was taught never to show how much pain she was in. If she did, she would be criticized and reprimanded.

But now, she was a noblewoman and it was her right to tell people if she was in pain. When Poliana tried to take her dress off again, Frau covered his face in embarrassment.

“N-no, Marquess! You needn’t do that! I can just cut into your dress around the shoulder area to expose the wound!”

When her wound was revealed, Frau cleaned it with a clean wet piece of cloth. He was sweating the entire time as he stammered, “T-thank god you aren’t hurt too badly.”

Only

“Yes, I agree.”

“So did an arrow get you?”

“No, it was a knife.”

‘Damn that old man.’

Poliana gritted her teeth. She learned a valuable lesson today thanks to Marquis Seeze. This must be why they say young people have so much to learn from old people.

A hidden knife inside his cane! From now on, she will have to check the older noblemen’s canes and umbrellas too.

Frau asked, “So what happened?”
