Chapter 54 Strengthen myself (2/2)
He took Alicia's pulse and started to check it. Next he opened both of Alicia's eyes to inspect it. He also took her temperature.
”How is it doctor?” Robert asked.
I was attentively looking at him while he was doing his check up on Alicia.
”It seems her body is over fatigued. The stress that her body took after releasing such power was too much. She is not yet prepared to wield such magic. Her body is resting now and recuperating. She will wake up after her body has been well rested.” Andrew answered.
”So, you know that she is Atlantian?” I asked Andrew. I looked at him seriously.
”I have known for quite some time.” Andrew answered. ”Do not worry, I am on the general's side. I won't do anything to harm the princess.”
”Yes he is correct.” The old general seconded him. ”And Dr. Andrew here had been all around the continent. He has learned many things about Atlantians in the books he had acquired in his travels.”
”Well they are forbidden books. As you know after the last war ended, the three countries did whatever they could to erase the existence of Atlantia. But I was able to acquire some of those books.” Andrew explained.
”I can't imagine how you got your hands on such rare and forbidden books, I wonder.” I said. Even I was not able to acquire such information about Atlantia other than what my mother has left for me.
”My means are of no importance. What's important right now is that I can help the princess with her magic, albeit in the medicinal aspects of it.” Andrew said.
”You have studied how magic works?” I asked curiously.
”I have read books on the Atlantian's knowledge in their own physiology.” Andrew replied. ”I can help the princess to regulate her magic with some herbs and medicine.”
”May I ask? In your books, are their any knowledge on how to strengthen ones magic power and abilities?” I asked.
The doctor looked at me in confusion at first, then looked at the general. Robert just gave him a nod.
”There are some information there about such things.” Andrew said. ”If you want, I can lend the books to you.”
”Yes, if you can lend it to me please. I would really appreciate it.” I said and lowered my head to him.
This may seem that I lowered myself as the crown prince of Grandcrest, to lower my head to a mere royal physician. But I will do anything to strengthen myself in the future to come. Knowing that my magic skills are inferior to the more advance skills of the Atlantians I have encountered. I know I need to improve myself.
”If I can help in anyway to protect the princess, then I will lend everything that I have.” Andrew said.
”Thank you very much.” I said.
I looked at the sleeping Alicia. She seemed so calm and serene. I will do everything to protect my future wife.
