"MOTHER?" Nero called for his mother, who just tucked him into bed, carefully. "Please return to the Royal Palace with me."
His mother looked surprised by his request. "I cannot refuse you if that's your wish, son. But may I know if there's a reason why you suddenly want to return to the palace?" His mother tilted his head to one side. "Do you miss Neoma that much?"
"I miss Neoma every day," he said bluntly. "But I have a feeling that we must return to the palace before Neoma's match against Calyx Dalton begins, Mother."
His initial plan was to stay in the Hazelden Kingdom until he had completely recovered.
He thought it would take him months. But, surprisingly, he gained weight and muscles faster than he expected. Of course, he gained them naturally. He ate and slept well for the past few weeks, ever since he woke up. Moreover, he took energy potions that were good for the body.
