Chapter 615: Hope And Attraction (1/2)
”Thank you, Divine Doctor!”
”Thank you for helping us!”
The sick crowd quickly cheered before rushing to the water fountain after Leon moved away with Lilith and the little boy.
However, due to the affection of their sickness, their movements were, in fact, relatively slow, like they were shuffling.
”Easy! Don't push, don't push! Didn't you hear what the doctor said? This is just a temporary solution! Don't be greedy unless you don't want to be treated completely!”
”That's right! The doctor may be human, but we have all seen how effective his medicine is! He'll definitely be able to cure completely in the future!”
”Oi, oi! Stop shoving! Do you want to offend the human doctor with your non-compliance?!”
”I understand all that, but what does it matter if my child doesn't make it?! Make way! Please let me through first! My child won't last much longer!”
”F*ck, do you think the rest of us and our families are in any better conditions than your child? Don't be f*cking selfish!”
Despite Leon's warning, chaos still broke out within the sick crowd as they fought for the water fountain.
”Order—!!” Leon shouted.
His mighty voice immediately shook the area and stunned the sick crowd into silence.
Shortly after, Leon gestured to Lilith with a glance before she nodded in understanding.
She stepped forward before she began speaking in a clear voice, ”If your symptoms are only mild, please let the severe ones through to drink from the water fountain first!”
”Don't forget that you are all clan members of my Desolate Crow Clan! Even if you are not directly related by blood, we are all one big family! Everyone should be good to each other so that we may overcome these difficult times together!”
After Lilith finished speaking, several sick clansmen in the lead immediately felt ashamed for not letting their more severely ill clansmen through.
”It's the Desolate Crow Princess... The Desolate Crow Princess is back!”
”Welcome back, Your Highness! Where have you been? Please lead us, Your Highness!”
”Your Highness, you should quickly hide! If Lord Bahlzacs hears of your return, he will personally capture you, Your Highness!”
The nearby clansmen immediately recognized their Desolate Crow Princess's return before offering their greetings and warnings.
Within a few lines, it was clear where their loyalty lies.
”All of you still see me as your princess even though I ran away and caused trouble for the clan?” Lilith inquired the nearby clansmen, feeling guilty after witnessing their unswerving loyalty to her Desolate Crow Royal Family.
”Your Highness, there is no need to be so harsh on yourself. We would have never learned about the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's ambition nor the Desolate Netherbird Royal Family's inner conflicts if you had not done so.”
Lord Bahlzacs may be a powerful Mid-Rank 2 Transcendent, but he was still regarded as an outsider even if he took control of their clan by force.
This was especially so when Lord Bahlzacs's leadership does not bring them any benefits and only death.
”You only need to give us the word, and we will gather our forces to drive Lord Bahlzacs out of the Desolate Crow Clan, even if it means laying down our lives to do so!” A bulky male clansman spoke with a clenched fist.
”Right, Lord Bahlzacs had not cared for the wellbeing of the clansmen at all since he forcefully took control of the main palace! He has been nothing but a tyrant!”
”When should we retaliate, Your Highness?” Another clansman inquired.
Despite being weak and lethargic, the clansmen displayed determination in their gazes.
Lilith looked at them before she shook her head, ”Now is not the time to retaliate against Lord Bahlzacs. He is still a Mid-Rank 2 Transcendent, but more importantly, we must deal with this plague first.”
”Go drink from the fountain to recover some energy and fighting strength for now. I believe it won't be long before the plague is resolved with this person around,” Lilith spoke with a smile.
The clansmen shifted their gazes to Leon for a moment before one of them inquired their princess, ”Where did you find such a capable person, Your Highness? Why is he your lover?”
”Friend… He is my friend…” Lilith immediately corrected with a slight blush before sneaking a glance at Leon.
However, he pretended not to have heard or noticed.
Rather, he reached out his hand and rubbed the head of the little boy who had been at their side all this time.
”Thanks for waiting patiently. What's your name?”
”My name is Abel, big brother.” The boy answered.
”I see. Abel, is it?” Leon nodded before urging the boy, ”You can lead us to your mother now. Is she far?”
Abel shook his head vehemently before pointing to a building some distance, ”My mother inside our home over there!”
”Alright, let us head over and check your mother's condition.”
”What about the rest of these people, Leon?” Lilith quickly asked after shooing away the clansmen, who became annoying after giving her ambiguous glances.
