An Explorer's Guide (BL)

Completed! =) Healing is not just healing, it is also politics. Edwin had heard it all, had repeated it time and time again. He did not want to accept those words. They were vile, they were poisonous. A necromancer such as himself had no right to become a healer, he still did his best. An altruist like him had no place in the service of the king as Boliarin. He still refused to give up the title, for fear that someone else would take it, and plunge Duria into chaos. All his life, he had played by the rules. Even when he suffered losses, even when he believed he could not look himself in the mirror. Everyone has a breaking point. Edwin did not lie to himself. He was calm, but not sane. The camel's back had long since been broken. And yet, when his ray of moonlight, the vampire Hadrian, offered to travel with him, Edwin agreed. He lets himself pretend he was good, hoping he might lie to himself one of those days. Would Harry be enough to stop him from darkening the world? Or would he end up just another villain, who had once been bright-eyed and hopeful? The story is complete, and has 109 chapters in total, around 1k each. Updates: 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thank you for your time! =)

Chapter 28: Truths

When the king, Valyr I, came to Myrna, there was a parade in the snow and Edwin was called to the mayor's office. Hadrian did not understand why. Surely if the king wanted to be treated, he would just go to his personal healer, lord Ruthheaven?

But Hadrian refused to let Edwin meet the king alone, and so, he had stated his arguments carefully. Hadrian had dirt on the king, and that dirt could prove useful to negate any demand the king had of Edwin.

More than that, Hadrian was a skilled fighter, and the stables were not too far from the apartment, should they need to get away.

All the while, Edwin had regarded him with an uncharacteristic coldness. He knew something about the meeting, Hadrian did not, but no matter how much Hadrian whined, he did not share his knowledge.
