Maxim was very worried about Emmelyn. Even though he was injured himself, he didn't even think about his wounds while Soren tended to his wounds.
Soren was a young physician that reminded him of Zaff, his family physician back in Castilse. The man might be only in his late twenties, still younger than Zaff, yet his skills and the way he treated Maxim's head injury made him look like a really old and skilled physician.
He also had a sunny personality and warmly talked to Maxim about what happened to cause his injury. Maxim didn't feel bothered by Soren at all.
He actually felt relieved to meet someone around his age in Myreen so they could act more casually toward each other.
Wait... Soren was around his age, right?
"Yes, I will be 29 in a few months," Soren replied when Maxim asked his age. The physician was mixing a concoction in a bowl to give Maxim so he could feel less pain from his injury.
