Chapter: 288

Fortunately, there was no bone damage.

Still, Astelle had to stop the bleeding as soon as possible.

If left as it is, he may bleed out and it could be very dangerous.

“The wound is deep. It must be stopped immediately. I will use the herbs I brought with me.”

She took the herbs used to treat wounds just in case she needed them.

She was really relieved even though she never imagined the herbs would be used for this.

Astelle wiped the wound with a dry handkerchief and applied hemostasis.

She then took out the herbs from the basket, wiped them with her handkerchief, and crushed them with her hands.

When she pressed Kaizen’s wound with her hand, he cried out as he endured the stinging pain.

“If you hadn’t fought to protect me, you wouldn’t have been hurt.”

Astelle stared intently at him.

It wasn’t wrong.

If Astelle wasn’t behind him, Kaizen wouldn’t have been hurt.

He had the ability to block seven or more assassins alone.

Without her, he would have easily escaped the crisis.

‘I knew he was good at swordsmanship, but I didn’t know he was this good.’ Astelle thought

When he was the Crown Prince, he liked to hunt, but his swordsmanship skills were known to be slightly above average.

Even when he occasionally battled with knights, he didn’t seem like a very powerful person.

It was just that he was good enough among the sons of high-ranking nobles.

It must have been that he wasn’t showing his real skills properly.

It meant that he did not trust anyone from the beginning.

It was comprehensible.

From Kaizen’s point of view, of course, he had to hide his claws and act cautiously.

Even with Astelle who was his fiancee of ten years.

Although they had grown up together since the age of ten, he did not trust her at all.
