518 Next Scene (First Update)

```

The news that the King of Yi had contracted the plague was something the silver-haired man planned to keep under wraps. After all, they had just suffered a defeat, and morale was already low. Revealing now that the King of Yi had been infected with the plague might destabilize the troops even further, possibly leading to an even more uncontrollable situation.

The silver-haired man summoned the medical officers who had treated the King of Yi to a small wooden cabin nearby.

He sat behind a screen, keeping a distance of at least ten steps from the medical officers.

The medical officers assumed he was only taking these precautions because they had just been in contact with the King of Yi and he was worried about them passing it on to him.

From behind the screen, seated on a chair padded with velvet, the silver-haired man asked in his usual tone, "How is my uncle truly faring? I want you to tell me personally, has my uncle really contracted the plague, and can it be cured?"
