Luciana and Cardan left the Enchantment forest before dawn.
A few guards were left behind to protect the flower even though it was not needed anymore.
According to their calculations, the Duke must have escaped by this time.
When they reached the northeast, Luciana helped Cardan sit near a tree.
He leaned back on it, his face was slightly pale.
He insisted that he was fine but Luciana did not believe him.
Her blood provided him comfort but his internal injuries were probably too deep to be healed so fast. Otherwise, his appearance would not have been as such.
She knelt in front of him and rubbed his shoulder, ''Does it hurt anywhere?"
Cardan nodded, ''Will you kiss wherever it hurts?"
"_"
She would have slapped him had he not been looking so miserable.
Cardan coughed knowing that if he pushed her further, she would throw him into the sea.
