Prince Derek was having a heavy nose bleed.
Knowing the Prince as someone who wouldn't mind such abnormality despite its severity, Lucas suppressed his own worry and said nothing until they reached his chamber.
Only when they were inside did he go to hurriedly damp a towel with water and then brought it to the insensitive man.
Derek took the wet towel and gradually wiped the blood off his hand with the towel, folding it along his nose and lips also. He sniffed deeply and slowly lowered his back to lean his head upward on the chair's backrest.
'That damned chicken!' he cussed.
If it hadn't been for a certain someone craving for poultry, he surely wouldn't have let Rudolf off.
"Get Rudolf," he suddenly requested and immediately after, Lucas nodded and left.
It took no time and Lucas had returned again with Rudolf.
