Physician Kale arrived a week later, and nearly had a heart attack when he ran into Jules. He muttered something about being too old and exhausted to travel much and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Jules called. "Are you Physician Kale?"
The elderly physician turned around and looked at Jules. "I really must be seeing things," he mumbled. "How can His Majesty get so young again?"
Mana, who happened to see them, ran over.
"Hello, Physician Kale!" she greeted happily.
Physician Kale looked at her and looked back at Jules. "What's going on, Princess Mana? Do you have a wind magic user here practising illusion magic?" he asked.
"Of course not," Mana retorted. "Why would you think that?"
Physician Kale pointed at Jules. "Then please explain why I'm seeing a doppelganger of your father, His Majesty King Jaren from twenty years ago?"
Mana burst out laughing. "You're not seeing things," she told the elderly physician. "This isn't my Papa. This is my Big Brother, Jules."
