You had been fighting for almost 24 hours and were about to pass out. The Diamond Kingdom's attack on the borders of the Forsaken Realms sent a message loud and clear. They were manufacturing weapons, and these weapons weren't just any weapons, but enhanced humans. Fortunately, the threat had been contained, though you didn't survive the wrath of the new Wizard King. It was still alarming to know that the Diamond Kingdom wasn't beyond human experimentation to achieve its goals.

Bless the stars of the Clover Kingdom, for the new Wizard King was passing through. After his coronation, he wanted to take a closer look at the state of the kingdom to get a better idea of what needed to be done. Though he was still a few cities away from the attack, he arrived just in time, sparing the lives of countless civilians and knights. Though the knights fought well, many were still injured.

You huffed as you focused your healing light magic on the rough, gray deer in front of you. Yami Sukehiro, the foreigner who piqued the Magic Emperor's interest when he was still a captain of the Gray Deer. Enough so that he let him in through the back door to become a Magic Knight. What powers did he possess that made Julius welcome him?

"If you keep looking at me like that, you'll make my stomach growl," he muttered, exhaling cigarette smoke.

"Excuse me. But I believe you know smoking is prohibited on these premises?" You glared, raising your arms in the dome shape you'd encased him in.

"I felt uncomfortable with all of you staring at me, and besides, if you like what you see so much, then come and get it." He smiled, winking at you. You blushed furiously, lowering your arms, making the healing orb disappear. Oh, you were definitely going to get it. He groaned, his entire body aching, the only thing keeping him from feeling the pain was his magic. After all, the painkillers you'd given him took a while to kick in.

You walked over to him, lightly pinching his cheek, though the gentleness of it still made him flinch. You knew any contact with his face would hurt. After all, he'd gotten punched in the face by that Diamond soldier with gem magic. "How cheeky! I'm already taken, now shut up or I'll sedate you the old-fashioned way."

"Ouch!... oh, don't be like that." He was starting to slur his words. Great, the painkillers you'd administered earlier were finally working. "All I want is a good woman to take care of me. Can't you be that woman? Besides, I'm deceiving you, since I don't see any rings on you." Abruptly pulling your hand away, you rested it on his chest as he wrapped his arms around your waist. It was quite obvious that Yami was strong, and given your current state, you were too tired to pull away from him.

You sighed. You knew it was the medication talking, you knew patients could get like this when they took a dose higher than 10 ml. You know who else knew that? You're the Fiancé.

But that never stopped you from pursuing your attractive patients before.

Right on cue, darkness seemed to envelop the room with numerous limbs and hands. It ripped Yami's arms from your body, pulling you away from the giant man. You watched, expecting the shadows to have already immobilized him, but to your surprise, Yami was standing on the bed, sword in hand, slashing at the shadow.

For a second, you thought maybe you hadn't given him the painkillers. No one could move without falling the instant they thought about getting up. But then everything proved wrong when a stray arm grabbed you from behind and easily pulled you back onto the bed, instantly enveloping your entire body in swaths of shadow.

Soft footsteps could be heard behind you as an arm wrapped protectively around your waist. "I really hate it when people touch what's mine." Nacht smiled, though you could tell he was anything but happy.
