Elsa and Aaron walked back to her room. Getting there, they met King Elda and Yana still standing outside.
Aaron simply nodded at them as a sign of greeting and nothing more. "Take me to her," he said to Elsa.
"Just that?" the chieftain thought to herself as she felt herself getting angry.
The door to Elsa's chamber creaked open and Aaron entered after her.
Elene still clutched her belly and winced in pain while rolling on the bed. Elsa walked up to her and held her hand, attempting to calm her down but Elene had become very restless and irritable.
Aaron sighed as he observed Elene closely, wondering why he was called here but still went over to see what was wrong with her.
"What is the matter?" he asked.
"She was in severe pain since yesterday," Elsa narrated. "It's been there for the past two days but yesterday's was the most severe. I gave her the tea but the effect didn't last."
Aaron rubbed his chin and looked over Elene before bending close to her.
"Elene," he called.
Elene struggled to turn her face to look at him, barely managing to answer his call.
"I have just two questions and I want you to answer me honestly."
Elene clutched her lower abdomen again and nodded with a gross grimace on her face.
"Are you in your cycle period?" he asked, leaning closer to hear her answer.
"Y... y-yes," Elene whimpered.
"Good," Aaron muttered. He looked at Elsa and said, "Hurry! Get me hot water and a rubber bag. Quick!"
Elsa was marvelled at how he already knew what to do with one question but the situation did not allow her express such amazement. She dashed out of the room in search of what Aaron had asked for.
"Next question, Elene," he said, holding her hand. "What were the last two meals you had?"
Aaron raised his eyebrows, anticipating some crazy answer from the maid and after hearing what she had to say, he laughed. He was not surprised that she had taken such in her situation.
"Hmm, sugar while in your cycle," he muttered. "Interesting. Very interesting."
"Can you help... please?" Elene begged desperately.
"Your case isn't a difficult one to solve. So don't worry."
Aaron headed over to a stool in the room and took a seat while waiting for Elsa to return with the hot water and rubber bag.
He folded the sleeves of his cloth and sighed, tapping his feet on the floor impatiently.

The real Aaron had left the Crimson Star Library when his time elapsed, just as he agreed with the chieftain and her cohorts. Yes, that was the agreement but Aaron had not strictly abided by it as his doubleganger still paraded the library paths searching and continually devouring the information from the several book into memory.
On the part of the female guards, they had failed to check the library because two reasons: One, they trusted Aaron's words easily, even King Elda did as well.
The second reason was that they assumed that there was no other person inside the library since Aaron had gone out with them to go and help Elsa.
They had made two very big mistakes that they would never realize.
The Aaron inside the library sighed as he placed yet another book back into the corner he took it from. It wasn't easy to consume so much information within such a short period and such a speed, but he was making marked progress.
He had learned quite a lot about this world that he had reincarnated in and how it worked. He had a rough idea that was more than enough to help Aaron blend in.
The clone picked yet another book, the ninth one since the real Aaron left some hours ago.
He first skimmed through it quickly to get a superficial idea what the book was about. "Interesting," he muttered.
The content of the book fascinated him enough for him to begin reading it as he strolled away to go and sit down in a corner.
The particular book dealt on the topic of the energy that existed within this world.
Strange energy that this world reckoned to be magic.

Aaron's eyes flickered with excitement as he stood by Elene's side, watching her absent-mindedly. He had received the information from his clone and his lips gave off a short-lived smile that both Elsa and Elene had not failed to notice.
"What is it, master?" Elsa asked with a curious expression.
Aaron realised himself and looked at her for a few seconds. "It's nothing. By the way, is that bag still hot?"
Elsa felt the rubber bag of water with the back of her hand and shook her head.
"Not anymore," she answered. "But at least it helped with her pain a little."
Aaron smiled, clasped his hands and cracked his knuckles. He stretched his arms, releasing tension from them as he peered at Elene.
"Now let's begin," he said. "Please cover her upper chest, Elsa."
"What do you want to do?" Elene asked, confused.
"I'm going to massage you."
Hearing Aaron's words, her heart skipped a beat and she became nervous. "B-But... but what will that do for me?"
"A whole lot, don't sweat it," Aaron replied, getting ready to begin the massage session.
Elene could only think about how a man's touch would feel on her body. She had never had a man touch her before, let alone massage her body. She feared that it may even involved Aaron touching her in places that she wouldn't want any man she didn't like to touch her.
Aaron sighed and shook his head. He knew exactly what Elene's was thinking with from one glance.
His face turned sour with disappointment. "You're not my type, Elene. I am just here to treat you, that's all. You can as well reject my treatment if you don't want to but as it stands not, I'm the only one who can heal you and I can only do it with... these hands."
Aaron's bluntness made Elene feel like she had been slammed into a wall and was defeated on the spot.
She turned her face away from Aaron. "O-Okay," she said with so much shyness on her face.
Elsa had finished covering her breasts with a towel and left them alone in the room.
"Then we can begin," Aaron remarked, lifting his sleeves even further up.
