Chereads / The Legend of a Prodigy / Chapter 10 - Chapter 8 : Lisa's Curiosity

Chapter 10 - Chapter 8 : Lisa's Curiosity

Lisa was still curious.

Lisa Thinking : Why did he say that it was all his fault? I will ask him on the way back to the palace.

She had regained her health. Since the battle was over instantaneously, they were allowed to stay here or go back home. Everyone was still afraid of her.

Reina : I tried everything I could.

Lisa : That's fine. You did what you could. They think I am a bloodthirsty monster. It is a natural reaction.

Aiza : We still believe in you.

Lisa : You don't have to console me.

Reina : It's the truth.

Lisa : Can I ask something from the two of you?

Aiza and Reina : Go ahead!

Lisa : Was Mr Brown acting strange while take caring me?

Reina : He looked depressed.

Aiza : Sometimes he said "I should have protected you"

Lisa : Should have protected me?!! Looked depressed?!! It is very suspicious. Did he also say "it's my fault" ?

Aiza : He fainted from take caring of you. After he woke up he said that.

Lisa : Only once eh?

Aiza : Why are you asking so many questions only about Mr Brown?

Lisa : I am curious. What his fault? Is it because so many men died? Ouch!!

Lisa heart started to respond.

Aiza and Reina : Be careful!!

Lisa spoke in pain : Is...it... because..of..me...going..... berserk?

Aiza : Don't speak anymore!!

Lisa fainted again. Mr Brown was behind them and overheard their conversation. He had to make sure she knew nothing about the incident. When he saw her faint again, he ran to help them.

Mr Brown : Lisa!!!

Aiza : Mr Brown you must know what disease she has right?

Mr Brown : Unfortunately I don't. I just know that her heart responds to anger, sadness and frustration.

Reina Thinking : I guess Lisa is right. He knows something that she doesn't. What is it? What is he keeping secret? He should atleast tell Lisa, because it's about her health. I will ask him on behalf of Lisa.

Reina : Anger, sadness and frustration. They all have something to do with one thing. They all come under variations of sadness.

Mr Brown Thinking : Why didn't I think of that? She is also smart. Did Lisa point it out to them? If so, she's never told me this before.

Mr Brown : I guess you're right Reina.

Aiza : First thing we will put her on the bed. Later we will figure out.

Reina : Right.

They put Lisa on the bed and they could see that she was struggling to breathe. Mr Brown looked at her, concerned.

Mr Brown : We need to bring the carbon dioxide cylinder for her to breathe properly. (On Milkstars the living beings breathe carbon dioxide and drink water to get used to oxygen in their body)

Aiza : I am on it.

Reina : I will stay here with you.

Mr Brown : Fine then will you help me?

Reina : Yes.

Mr Brown : First we need to press like this on the chest and give her our air. Did you understand? (Simple earthlings procedure, ie, CPR)

Reina : Ok.

Mr Brown : I will go and bring herbs from the medical team.

Reina : Ok.

Reina does as instructed. After few minutes Lisa to looks fine but she is still unstable.

Aiza : I got the cylinder.

Reina : Do you know how to put the mask and connect the cylinder?

Aiza : Basic stuff.

Aiza does that and puts the mask on Lisa.

Reina : He seems to have some degree of medical knowledge.

Aiza : Maybe it has happened in the past. That's why he knows. Probably.

Reina : But still. It's hard to learn this in 2 or 3 days.

Aiza : Maybe he learnt it for Lisa's sake.

Reina : I think you are right but what Lisa told us before fainting concerned me.

Aiza : I know. We will ask him after her condition is stable.

Mr Brown : I got the herbs.

He makes a soup and feeds it to her. Her condition looked more stable than before.

Reina : Since her condition is stable, I have some questions for you, Mr Brown.

Mr Brown : Go ahead.

Reina: You look suspicious you know? You know way too much about her. What is your original connection to the Princess?

Mr Brown : I used to be a Royal Tutor for Princess and I've taught her since she was a child.

Reina shocked. Aiza was still not convinced.

Aiza : If that's the case, then why is she being kept in the dark regarding her own health?

Mr Brown looked flustered.

Mr Brown : What do you mean by that?

Aiza : Obviously, there's something more to her illness that you're aware of. Lisa herself suspects this.

Mr. Brown : Did she say so herself?

Reina : Not exactly, but she did ask us why you thought her condition was your fault.

Lisa was trying to listen to their conversation even in her condition but they were a little far away from her and speaking softly. She had no choice but to wake up.

Lisa : They are asking this for my sake. Can you tell me now atleast? As the First General, I've already defeated the enemy at my first attempt. I literally led our army against the odds. I'm not a child anymore.

Mr Brown gives in by looking at the her. He remembers something and finally decides to tell her.

Mr Brown : I will only tell you. I can't tell them. It's regarding your mother. I know everything what really happened in the past.
