His trusted secretary was waiting by his bed and showed a look of joy upon seeing him awake.
"Master, you finally woke up. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Hans White covered his dizzy head, struggled to sit up, and looked haggard. "What happened to me?"
As soon as he spoke, he was startled by his own voice.
It was weak and hoarse, sounding nothing like his usual tone.
The secretary handed him a cup of hot water before explaining, "Master, we were all confused. Just a while ago, a few people from Valleys came over to have a chat with you. You didn't talk long before you took them to the Young Master's courtyard. I thought it was nothing serious, but then those people said you were taking them to take the Young Master's life!"
"Ridiculous!" Hans White rebuked loudly.
