Throughout the afternoon, Maxine stuck with Maverick while chatting about different things that her brain could build up. They did horse riding together, played chess and played mind games.
When Maxine was informed that little Duncan had awoken and was seeking her presence, Maverick and Maxine rushed to the chamber where he was. Fortunately, his fever had depreciated and the scratching had taken a drastic fall.
She fed him with another medicine that she had prepared and after little Duncan chatted with Maverick for a while, while Maxine only marvelled at their communication and folksiness, he fell asleep peacefully.
Since little Duncan was a clingy one, Maverick decided that he would have him stay in the Eastern Palace, where he would be given access to see Maxine anytime he wished to.
It was evening time.
