<span style="font-weight:400">Keith quickly closed down the cart as he rushed over to the nurse''s office. His brain couldn''t process what he just heard. When he entered the office, what he saw surprised him. In the bed was Herrick.
<span style="font-weight:400">He was bruised beyond belief!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Keith." Noticing the two at the door, Herrick waved his hand. Well, tried to. His arm was wrapped up in bandages.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What happened to you?!" Keith was in disbelief. How could Herrick be defeated like this?! It was too abnormal. That guy could take on a tank and beyond!
<span style="font-weight:400">Herrick chuckled, "Nothing, I just slipped on some stairs."
<span style="font-weight:400">You slipped, and it caused all of that? What kind of stairs did you fall off?! Only a fool would believe Herrick''s words. Keith and the others wanted to retort. Well, one person did.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean you slipped and fell?! We were ambushed by a bunch of demons!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, what?" Jack and the others changed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They tried to hide themselves by wrapping their face. But I could still see their horns on their heads" Melor scoffed. Those guys weren''t good at hiding their horns.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those guys attacked us from all sides. They were definitely trying to defeat us!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, why do you look fine while Herrick is that?" Keith was even more confused. Herrick was wrapped in bandages, while Melor looked alright for the most part. Banged up but was fine for the most part.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because the guy didn''t fight back!" Melor grabbed his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Rx, it was a slip." Herrick smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is not a slip, Herrick." Arlo raised his voice. What happened to Herrick was not remotely a slip. It seemed those demons wanted to kill him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, Arlo. It is. I just slipped and hit myself in the head." Herrickughed. He turned to Keith, "Keith, this is nothing more than an ident, alright?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"....Okay." Keith took a deep sigh. When that was said, everyone''s expression turned heavy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You need to get some rest," Keith smiled. After everything that happened, Herrick needed to get some rest. As they left his room,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are we really going to let this go?!" Jack was the first person to speak up.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean?" Keith questioned. However, that caused Jack to frown, "You can''t let this go. We have to get revenge." Herrick was a member of their ind. And someone attacked him. He wasn''t the type of person who would take this lying down!
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head, "Herrick said it was nothing more than a slip. Nothing more."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"We have to ept Herrick''s words."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Jack wanted to say more. However, Gabriel grabbed him by the shoulders. The two looked at one another, and Gabriel pointed at Keith''s hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jack looked down to see blood dripping down from his hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith had clenched it so hard to the point blood dripped. His nails dug into his palms.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." It was clear that Keith was the angriest of all. However, he couldn''t do anything with what Herrick said.
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone sighed deeply before returning to the ind with a dark expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">"Prince Iston, our n was a sess!" The elves bowed their heads at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Iston smiled, "Good job. The first person has been taken care of."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Prince Iston, why did we target the beastmen first?" That was something some elves were curious about. Even though they hated beastmen, that didn''t mean they didn''t need to attack them. Herrick was someone they didn''t need to worry. He was crazy in the beginning. However, he was now a meek person.
<span style="font-weight:400">The others were the ones they had to be worried about.
<span style="font-weight:400">Iston smirked, "To cause a giant fire, you need a little spark."
<span style="font-weight:400">"?" A little spark?
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Iston said nothing else; only a smirk was left on his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">What happened to Herrick had spread through the ss. Herrick was ganged up by a bunch of demons and was sent to the hospital! The beastmen were going crazy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Prince! We need to fight back!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How could those demons do this to you?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"We need to get revenge!"
<span style="font-weight:400">The beastmen didn''t want to take this lying down. For them to take down Herrick was a problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, we will not fight with them." Herrick shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why not?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because I said so," Herrick''s eyes were stern as he stared at his brethren. With how serious he was, the beastmen could only begrudgingly ept this.
<span style="font-weight:400">They talked some more before they left.
<span style="font-weight:400">"These guys need to calm down," Herrick sighed as hey in bed. This has been happening for quite some time now. Many beastmen came to him, wanting to seek vengeance.
