Javier paused when he saw blood gushing out of Lyon's mouth. He stared dumbly at Lyon and also had the same astonished expression plastered on his face. They stared at each other, then Javier paled, he instinctively held Lyon's hand;

"Big brother, are you okay!?"

Javier blurted it out of instinct. There was a memory when they were just kids, Lyon protected him from a wild mutt when they sneaked out of the palace, though he was safe, but Big Brother Lyon got various wounds because of it.

Javier's anger vanished instantly, replaced with a worried expression.

[It's blood…]

[Pupa: It's blood.]

[Hey! Don't copy me! At least, tell me if I will die soon or what?]

[Pupa: According to my scan on your body, your internal gut has been wounded because of the powerful punch, but you should recover after a week of good rest, Lyon has a naturally tough body. The only thing that is worrisome is your di**, it has quite a strong reaction when Javier threatens to rip your jaw.]

[I—I mean, I always have a thing for S&M play…]

[Pupa:… I will not comment on that.]

Lyon looked away immediately to avoid Javier's face that was too close to him, "I—I am alright! Get away from me!"

Javier didn't relax after Lyon said that he was alright. He commanded the guards in urging manner;

"Crown Prince Lyon coughed blood! Why are you two standing there, go call the palace doctor!" Javier said. The guards rushed out to find the palace doctor, meanwhile, Javier fished out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood from Lyon's lips.

"This is Javi's fault! I shouldn't be too harsh on you! I'm so sorry, Big brother!" Javier apologized again and again. Yunyu was lost with the sudden change of behaviour, this guy threatened to rip his jaw a few minutes ago, and now he acted like a cute little brother that would take care of his wounded big bro.

[I—I'm lost here. What is this kid doing? I thought he hates me, his Fatemeter is still -50%, right?]

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to -30%.]

[Pupa: Not anymore, apparently.]

[What is wrong with this guy, really. He is very unpredictable!]

"You worry too much, let me go," Lyon said. He tried to release himself from Javier's death grip on his arm. Javier was still worried, but when he saw the disgust on Lyon's face, his worried expression chilled down.

As expected, Big Brother Lyon didn't like it when he touched him. Just like when they were younger, Big Brother Lyon would always mock him for being born out of a man's belly, he called him a monster.

He hated Lyon for bullying him when they were kids, but he also couldn't hide the fact that Big Brother Lyon protected him many times before.

It was just that, Lyon hated him now, so he couldn't do anything but to give the same amount of hatred to Big Brother! His Papa Rama once said he shouldn't let anyone stomp his pride. If someone wanted a fight, then he should fight. If someone hated him, then he should hate him back!

Well, Papa Rama said that often, but he often saw Papa Rama getting scolded or getting hit by his Papa Aster for being lazy or unscrupulous, but Papa Rama would only cower or apologize many times to Papa Aster. Maybe that philosophy didn't work on his wife, since people called Papa Rama a henpecked husband.

Javier took a few steps back, his cold expression also changed the air around the room. Lyon looked up when he saw Javier's cold eyes and was petrified. Javier's golden circle thinned for a few seconds before turning back normal, but his expression was still dark, "Since you said you are okay, I will leave then."

Javier turned around and walked off to the destroyed door. He was about to leave, then he heard Lyon coughing again, his head turned immediately, and he saw another pool of blood gushing out of Lyon's mouth.

Then, Javier decided to return to his seat and watched Lyon, in case something bad happened to him.

The palace doctor came not long after, and was surprised with Crown Prince Lyon's bruise on his stomach. He checked the pulse and the condition of the Crown Prince, and then seriously wrote something down.

After he finished checking his condition, the palace doctor said, "The bruise in Your Highness' stomach is quite severe, although it's not life threatening, I suggest you to rest and drink the medicine that I will make to recover faster."

The palace doctor put his tools back to his bag and packed up to leave. Javier halted the doctor's step with one question, "Doctor, did I punch him too hard?"

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Javier. Some people might faint or die out of shock with that kind of punch to the gut, I suggest you not to be too rough. Your Highness Crown Prince Lyon went on a campaign not long ago, and then returned back to the kingdom to deal with administration and politics. He cannot be in too much distress right now," The doctor explained thoroughly.

Javier paled. He would feel extremely guilty if Lyon was in severe condition because of their small fight. It was just Javier who was on the verge of lashing out, because Lyon kept forbidding him to meet with Layla, even going as far as taunting him.

He only punched Lyon lightly in the stomach to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect the situation would be this bad.

Lyon already told the maids not to worry and asked them to leave. So there were only him and Javier in the room. The quiet atmosphere made Lyon feel uncomfortable, but there was no sign of Javier leaving soon.

Javier sat again on the chair near Lyon's bed, and sat in silence. Truthfully, he still saw Lyon as his childhood friend and big brother, because it was Lyon who would always lead and protect him when they were kids.

"I—It's my fault that you are like this, so I will take responsibility!" Javier said with determination.

"… huh?"

Javier suddenly stood from his chair and ran out of the room, leaving Lyon baffled in the room. Javier returned back to Lyon's room an hour later, "I've decided! I told my minister that I will stay in Great Arctyr for a while and take care of you until you are fully recovered!"

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to -25%.]

[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to 45%.]

[… Pupa, this world is actually a novel, right?]

[Pupa: Correct.]

[… If I'm currently in a novel or something, and the readers read this kind of story development, they will surely scrunch their eyebrows and said 'what?']

[Pupa: Javier Di Arlingdon is a simpleton with fluctuating emotion, he is a lot more dangerous than he looks. You should be careful. The author of this book creates a very unpredictable story, a masterpiece indeed.]

[This is not unpredictable, this is just ridiculous! What a spicy chicken author!]
