The man felt hesitant but said, "Well, as you are someone who might be a fellow apprentice in the future, let me tell you something. If outside help is being sought by the royal palace, that means an important person needs treatment which cannot be revealed to the outside world. So to keep it a secret, Master won't be allowed to communicate with the outside world and will have to focus on treating that person during his entire stay. It is the price one pays to treat a royal— secrecy.'
"That means there is no chance for me to see him?"
