The Villianess story: A 100 ways to kill your husband-Chapter 367: Fever dizziness

Abrielle scoffed at him, "The attack at the borders is not so simple. This war was caused by internal conflicts." She grumbled. Her tone was low but he heard her clearly.

"Pardon," he said, thinking he had misheard her. That was his suspicion but there was no way Abrielle was meant to know that. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Nothing, I am just blabbering about random thoughts," Abrielle said. She kept a straight face, knowing what she did. She left the information slip.

Cedric sighed, his thoughts spiralling out of control. She sneezed again; this time, a snort rolled out. "Are you feeling unwell?" He asked her.

Abrielle groaned as the discomfort grew, her throat going dry. "My head is spinning a bit." She admitted but didn’t think much about it.

Cedric tried to overlook it but the coughing and sneezing increased in intervals as the minutes went by. Abrielle was originally motion-sick, so it made things even.

He placed his hand on her forehead, a tired sigh leaving his lips. "You are burning under my palm. Why didn’t you say a thing about your symptoms?" He asked her.

Her head had gotten hazy and her motion sickness truly made the fever worse. "My head is spinning badly," she groaned, trying to get comfortable in the seats.

She didn’t expect to fall sick and didn’t take the sneezing seriously. "We are close to the city of Pius. We will take a break there," Cedric suggested, growing more concerned.

She could barely hear him at this point. He scooped her in his arms, trying to offer some comfort, but even his powers couldn’t do a thing against a simple cold.

He wasn’t a healer and used regeneration to heal her injuries in the past which wasn’t of much help to a fever.

"How far are we from Pius?" Her voice was very weak as the symptoms had gotten worse. She was burning in his arms.

"A few hours away. I can just teleport us there." Cedric suggested not considering the consequences.

She shook her head and leaned forward to his embrace; the comfort of the sparks helped a bit. "We can’t risk exposing you." Her eyes drew close.

Seeing how fast things were getting he quickly summoned some maids to help. They could not stop until they got to Pius because of how unsafe this area was.

Evelyn almost shrank under Cedric’s eyes, which were burning her for not paying close attention to Abrielle. She felt guilty, knowing she had suspected the princess of having a cold.

"Her temperature is getting worse," Evelyn said, her hand on Abrielle’s face that was getting red. They had to manage to work on a carriage.

It was a large carriage but they didn’t want to cramp up the space. Evelyn and another maid were the only ones allowed in.

"We need to get her out of these tight clothes first. "The other maid suggested, trying her best not to glance at Cedric who decided to stay by the princess’s side

"My chest hurts," Abrielle whined, the dizziness kicking in. Evelyn gave her a sorry expression.

"Your Highness, if you may," she politely asked Cedric, who was still holding Abrielle in his arms. He understood what she meant.

"Inform me when you are done," Cedric said before reluctantly letting go of her. He beckoned the couch man and got out to give them more space.

Midnight was already waiting for him. The black horse neighed excitedly once his owner got on him. "Carry on, "Elias commanded the group as they continued slowly to Pius because of the princess’s health.

Cedric rose by the carriage paying attention to Abrielle’s cries and fever talk. It had gotten to her head. She started saying crazy things, he thought.

"I want my mother, I miss home." Abrielle cried as Evelyn undressed her, leaving her in her free undergarments.

"Don’t worry, you will see your mother soon," Evelyn lied, trying to get the princess to relax. Abrielle shook her head bursting into tears, her realities mixing up together.

The other maid was busy getting some remedies ready for use. She wasn’t a magic user, so she could only manage the symptoms.

"That’s a lie, I can never see mummy. I am dead, it killed me..." Her voice was heartbreaking. Evelyn glances at the maids, getting more confused about what the princess is saying.

A wet towel was placed on Abrielle’s head while she lay on the seat. "You are not dead, and I am sure you will see your mother again." The other maid tried to get her to relax but the princess didn’t stop crying.

Abrielle stared at the maid for a while, the familiar Auburn hair Hazel’s mum had made her mistake the maid for her mother. "Mummy, what are you doing here?" She asked and the maid’s hand froze

She nervously glanced at Evelyn, confusion flooding her mind. "I am not your mother."

Her honest reply made Abrielle more aggrieved, scaring the maid. "But you are here." The princess whined, mistaking the two identities.

Evelyn gave the maid a meaningful look, which she understood. A long breath left her lips. Her hands were steady as she wiped the princess’s skin. "You are right, dear; everything will be fine." The maid agreed and Abrielle relaxed.

"Can I rest on your lap? I missed you." There was true longing in her voice, which confused the maids more, but they understood it as the fever making her delirious.

"Of course, dear," the maid agreed, passing the towel to Evelyn, who continued wiping Abrielle. The Princess’s head was on the maid’s lap while her finger brushed through the long ginger locks.

The fever didn’t subside, but Abrielle grew calmer and fell asleep on the maid’s lap, dreaming of her mother. A lone tear ran down her cheeks; her body knew this wasn’t the one she missed.

The plan was to board a ship immediately after they got to Pius, but the plan was delayed because of Abrielle. Cedric sent horsemen ahead to make arrangements for them.

The count of Pius, who found out about this, insisted on hosting the royal couple, including the girls. The carriage wheels rolled into the lavish estate of Count Fredrick Pius.

Once the carriage stopped, Cedric got off his horse rushing to the carriage doors. "How is she now?"

"The princess’s condition had gotten worse. She needs a physician immediately."
