That night was a difficult one. Several times Arielle's temperature fluctuated drastically. Both Ronan and Namina were on standby at all times. Arielle never woke up or opened her eyes. She only occasionally squirmed and muttered, 'cold' or 'hot'.
When the morning came, there was still no sign that Arielle would come to her senses. Junia, the child who fainted yesterday with Arielle, had woken up and was being treated by a doctor. So did her father, Mr. Arthur, and her older sister, July.
Ronan did not give permission when Mrs. Arthur asked to see Arielle so that she could thank her.
The man took Arielle's hand and looked at each of the girl's fingers carefully, as he thought he couldn't let Arielle go on like this. He got up quickly from the bed. But when he grabbed his shirt, Ronan hesitated again.
If he rode fast, it would take him half a day to get to the palace, and bringing Priest Elis here would also take him half a day.
