The Blood That Ties Us Together

Kol felt bad. 

If it was not for him, Laina would still be spending time with King Dante. Because of him, they were now back in Kinshearth. The Royal Healer was brought forth to attend to him. 

"Your Highness, I'm alright, really," Kol reassured Laina. 

Since there were others around, he did not dare to address her by her name. 

"I know you've got self-healing powers, Kol. But there's no harm done in just checking to make sure everything is alright," she replied. 

After the assessment, the Royal Healer gave Kol some medicine paste to apply on his wounds and went on his way. There was still one thing Laina was confused about. She could understand the wounds that had formed around the seal on Kol's chest. 

But what about the gash on his arm? 

When Laina asked him, Kol was hesitant to reply. But she was not going to let it go so easily.
