Raeliana was heading towards the hall when she noticed some ruckus made by the maids. They kept chattering and babbling, Raeliana was keen to hear those kind of noise. She got intrigued so she followed the maids. She saw a man who was lying on the floor, coughing blood. He came from the royal family based from his clothes. Raeliana doesn't want to turn a blind eye to someone who needs help. She remembered the lesson she had when she was still Eun ha, and thinks it might be a good use for the situation. Raeliana lend her help but was rejected by the guards. "Who do you think you're touching, lady?"

Raeliana grabbed his collar, "Don't you dare to ask me when someone's life is on the line?! I need to aid him now, so please let me through."

The guard stood silent and eventually allowed Raeliana to lay a hand to the royalty. She commanded the royal guards to bring him to his room so she can aid him without any disturbance. The guard nodded, "If something happened to the king, you'll be quickly beheaded."

She flinched in surprise, "T-the king?!" Raeliana wasn't expecting the man to be the king of the empire yet she was proud that she can aid him. Now her life came to be tangled again upon meeting a royalty.

"I know." She held her nervous voice. Raeliana picked the medicine needed to relieve the pain of the king. She rushed back to his quarters and asked for the help of servant. "It came from the pharmacy so don't worry." She put a spoonful of medicine on the king's perched lips. He gulped desperately.

"King, please be well or I'll watch myself above." She shuddered while assisting the king.

The king threw up; cause everyone to glowered their eyes towards Raeliana. "Oh crap. Lord have mercy on me." She remained her upright posture and kept her eyes unfaltered. Fortunately, the king opened his eyes and saw a woman who dressed as a noble and not a royal physician. He lifted his hands placed it on her cheeks, "You aren't a physician. What brings you here?"

"W-well, a a concerned subject, your highness." Lowering her gaze. "I should be leaving now so you could rest now." She bowed her head and left from the king's presence.
