Qiao Suisui didn't know what to say when the door to the sickroom opened, and Ruka strode in, coming straight over to embrace her.
The man's embrace was so tight that she could clearly hear the drum-like heartbeat coming from his chest, vigorous and rapid.
"Ruka, I'm fine."
She looked up to comfort him, but heard Ruka speak first, "Let's go back first, Leberli is waiting for us at the Imperial Court."
"Back to the Imperial Court?" She thought the incident had scared them both terribly and quickly explained, "Really, I'm fine, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Just resting back at the small building will do."
Ruka's brow was furrowed with lingering worry as he said, "Suisui, your identity has been exposed."
Carl was startled and asked, "What identity?"
