Reinhard was holding up the insect assassins, and Julius had gone to confront whoever had been shooting. In the woods, hidden beneath the shadow of a great tree, Ferris could do little more than put his trust in the fighting skills of his two companions while pouring his own efforts into healing the mortally wounded Vincent, who lay before him.

The emperor had lost his right arm and hemorrhaged a great deal of blood before Ferris had been able to begin treatment. Ferris had succeeded in reattaching the arm, but even his prodigious abilities could not restore the emperor’s lost blood or drained vitality. Instead, Ferris fanned the guttering flame of Vincent’s life by exciting the emperor’s water mana, a tactic that involved leaning on the human body’s ability to heal itself.

“I’m begging you, don’t die! It would be the stupidest thing to end up in a war because of this…!”

“…Don’t shout directly into my ear. O more-feral-than-ordinary beast of a person.”

“…Look at you—finally awake, and the first thing you say is something nasty.” Ferris had been utterly taken aback by the Volakian ruler’s sudden remark. Vincent was on death’s doorstep, his stamina nearly exhausted. Yet somehow, he had clawed his way back to consciousness. Apparently, the demi-human healer didn’t have to worry about Vincent simply giving in to despair. If one was of frail heart, it could be reflected in the body. Ferris knew from experience that life gave its light only to those who wished for its flame to keep burning.

Emperor Vincent, his face pale, smirked at the obvious relief in the cat-boy’s expression. “It seems your fears are much alleviated. If I am to depart this mortal coil, war between the empire and the kingdom will become unavoidable. A heavy burden for your narrow shoulders, no doubt.”

“Uh-huh, very much so, so again, please don’t die, Your Majesty. It would be a stupid way to start a stupid war.”

“You feel war is stupid?” Vincent’s cold, bloodless smile didn’t change at Ferris’s remark. In the emperor’s dark eyes was the reflection of the young knight, who hadn’t even bothered to try wiping away the blood that spattered on the Volakian ruler. “This must vex you greatly. Were Lugunica’s royal family well, and the covenant with the Dragon safely in place, you would have no need to save this life of ours.”

“”

“Your healing abilities are considerable. I acknowledge as much, without sarcasm or irony. To be unable to wield those skills on behalf of those to whom you were most loyal… There are no words for how ill your stars must be.”

“…! Don’t mock me!” Even as his injuries were being healed, Vincent didn’t hesitate to needle at Ferris’s own wounds. The demi-human had resolved to let it pass—but in the end, he was unable to do so. “Vexed, you call me? You say I don’t want to save you? What do you know about me…?!” The cat-boy’s voice shook. Though his hands were full of healing power, there was anger in his eyes as he glared at his patient.
