All Chapters of ARCLAND: The Messiah: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A whole week passed and Chiara's face was full of worry ever since she had a picnic with the emperor. She was not allowed to enter the emperor's office, she didn't even see a glimpse of him for the past week. 'Just what the hell is going on?!' She racked her brain to come up with a possible answer but to no avail. 'Maybe he's busier than ever? Or maybe he's not feeling well? Argh! But isn't it the more reason why I should be there taking care of his needs and cleaning everything for him?' She sighed as she replaced the flowers on the vase after cleaning His Majesty' room. She looked at the bed, on the floor, on the coffee table and at the couch. There was really no trace of Carzus coming back to his room. 'Aarrghh!' She held her head in frustration. "So what if he didn't return to his room for a whole week? I don't even care that he didn't want to see my face anymore! Hah. Who was the one acting so s

"This is a medicine made by Lady Florentine." Sir Kian handed Seviere a tiny bottle that contained Chiara's boiled root and herb. Seviere was taken aback, "I- I don't think this is a good idea ... Why does she have to ..." "Please pardon me, Chancellor. I've witnessed the lady's efforts in doing this medicine. She looked for a recipe at the capital from the bookshop she frequented and made all the preparations from the start to finish." "I appreciate the effort but──" "And she passed out from overworking." Seviere's mouth twitched, "P-Passed out ..." "Yes, Chancellor." He slapped his head in frustration, "I don't think giving this to His Majesty is a good idea. First, Lady Florentine is not a priest nor a herbalist, only they could make a medicine that is actually effective." Sir Kian paused and couldn't retaliate. Wh

"Your Majesty, the children are all better now. The temple is letting them go back to their families this afternoon." Ellie reported. He took Seviere's place for the time being while the latter was sent to inspect the borders on the southern part of the empire. "Mm." Carzus answered nonchalantly. "How 'bout the child?" He paused. 'Should I send him back? Or ...' He unconsciously gripped the paper in his hand while deciding on what to do with the kid. "Let him come back here and inform his family to pick him up personally." The corners of Ellie's mouth formed a straight line. "Are you prepared to see them now, Your Majesty?" Hearing the latter's question, Carzus' countenance darkened. There was a part of him who wanted to see them, but he was scared of their reaction if they learned that he was alive. "Who knows. They might not even recognize me." Those sad wo

"What?!" "Who ... Who would do this to a young child?" Chiara mumbled. Her heart was so heavy. She suffered so much as a child, but the child in front of her was literally dying. "Have you gone to the herbal shop yet?" Dale asked the child's father. "Yes. But they don't have medicine left to treat wounds. He just gave me some medicine to reduce the pain, but ... but his wounds ..." "Then why not just make one? Those old geezers." Dale tapped Wilner's shoulder. "They might not have the ingredients. The merchant that was supposed to visit the Capital didn't come for 2 weeks now, maybe that's why they ran out of ingredients." Chiara thought something and asked, "What are the ingredients they need? I can order the knights with me to get it for you." Everybody looked at her with gloomy eyes, "The ingredients for making medicines to treat wound

"I will have the dress delivered to your estate, may I know your address?" The young attendant's mother, Gretta, asked. Chiara was taken aback. "Can I just pick up the dress here tomorrow?" 'You see, I can't tell you that I live in the palace or you might overprice the dress. I don't have that much money, hehe, hehe.' She thought that way based on personal experience. "O-okay then. I will immediately work on this dress and make sure that this will fit you. I will also add some details that I think will suit My Lady." "See you tomorrow then." Gretta and her daughter bowed as Chiara exited their shop. After the latter left with her carriage, they raised their heads and the tears they were holding back from earlier flowed non-stop. "Mother ... I thought we wouldn't have a choice but to close the shop! Huwaaaaaaa!" "I was thankful that I didn't pack everything ye
