The guard was very anxious, because Duke North seemed very different from what he had been like two days ago. In the previous two days, Duke North told him to fetch Lady Chaoyan, but he looked well, the same as before except for the gloomy look on his face. The guard believed that it was because of Lady Chaoyan, whom Duke North wanted to meet.
However, he dropped that idea when Lady Chaoyan refused to check on him.
It was not until today that he realized that his Duke was doing very badly. He had a terrible look on his face. Duke North had already woken up and was recovering very well. His wounds healed too. He believed that everything would be fine, and that he would arrive in the capital safely.
However, it seemed that the Duke was doing really badly at the moment.
