BXBX NOVEL Chapter 590 - 13.88
"Mmhh… Stop this."
"Please stop. I can\'t hold it…."
"Mmmh!"
[Pupa: You\'re losing your consciousness due to pain and shock, not because you have a wet dream, idiot.]
[Pupa: Wake up now!]
[Ish, let me be dramatic! Don\'t you see what Maximillien did to me? He fricking stabbed me, not with a meat spear, but with a real sharp ice spear!]
Jean opened his eyes reluctantly, and the first thing he saw was the food ceiling. He was inside a house made out of simple wood, something that was unthinkable for the pampered Young Master.
"Where am I?" Jean looked observed around in a daze. The last thing he remembered was his big brother, who suddenly attacked him and pierced his shoulder with an ice spear..
He thought by doing his usual purification, his big brother would recover from his mindless rampage. But turned out, even his golden finger purification couldn\'t help him.
Jean slowly touched the bandaged wound on his shoulder and winced in pain. He felt a burning sensation for some reason, but at least he had been treated, it seemed.
[I really didn\'t expect Maximillien to attack me like that. Have I lost my golden finger touch?]
[Pupa: The dark sprout inside his heart has been cultivated for years. So it\'s very unlikely that he can be purified with just simple magic.]
[Then, how could he cleanse him?]
[Pupa: I don\'t know.]
…
[How is his condition right now?]
[Pupa: Undetectable, all the male leads, including Raphael and Wolf. All of them are undetectable.]
[Huh? What do you mean?!]
[Pupa: I don\'t know. This is the first time such a thing has happened. I asked the Headquarters, but Father Admin said just roll with it because he was too tired and sleepy after binge-watching some Netflix exclusive.]
[What the—What kind of lazy ass Father Admin is that?! You and that Father Admin are equally useless!]
[Pupa: Sure, Haruno Sakura 2.0.]
As Yunyu and Pupa were arguing, there was a creaking on the door. Pupa turned invisible immediately while Yunyu darted his eyes.
"M—Matthew?"
"Young Master Jean!" Matthew dropped the fruit basket on hand and rushed to Young Master Jean.
He checked Young Master temperature first, and after making sure that he got no fever, he asked Jean, "Young Master, are you okay?"
"I\'m okay, just… my shoulder has this burning sensation," Jean replied. He kept staring at Matthew without blinking.
Meanwhile, Matthew acted as if everything that happened right now was a regular event.
Matthew walked back to the door and picked the fruit basket.
"Young Master, I\'ve brought you fruits. What do you want? Apple? Banana? Orange?"
…
Matthew put the fruit basket on the wooden table and then brought a glass of water for Young Master Jean, "Please drink first, Young Master. You\'ve been unconscious for so long."
Jean drank the water obediently, but his gaze still hadn\'t left Matthew, "How long have I been unconscious? What\'s happening? And how did I ended up with you, Matthew?"
Matthew looked calm even after being barraged by questions, "You\'ve been unconscious for five days, Young Master. You got a high fever. I was worried that you might not make it."
"Really?" Jean pondered himself. He thought it was weird that he could be unconscious for so long. "Then, what is happening here? How did I end up with you, Matthew?"
"The last thing I remembered was my brother… he… he stabbed me with an ice spear. I was too shocked and fainted instantly," Jean recalled the last night. The night was supposed to be a beautiful one. He was dancing with his beloved big brother on the moon, and fireflies helped create a romantic atmosphere.
They were confessing each other\'s feelings and thought it could end well with a gentle kiss.
Until his big brother suddenly kissed him aggressively and went full rampage for absolutely no reason.
[Pupa: There is a reason for his rampage. Dark sprout has a trigger, and since you\'ve triggered it, it completely took over Maximillien\'s mind.]
[What\'s the trigger then?]
[Pupa: The trigger is because he can\'t have you for himself? Do you really think that Master Han Ye\'s souls can work together and share your love?]
[Pupa: You should see it by yourself, no matter in which world, all of them will try to kill each other to get you. It\'s just how his chaotic mind works.]
[What a crazy guy, I wonder who caused him to be like that.]
Matthew gently held Young Master Jean\'s hand and replied, "I was also on the run on that night. You see, His Highness Archduke Maximillien went on a rampage and destroyed the Palace of Eau Saumont. He also summoned hundreds of giant water dragons. He destroyed the Eau Saumont City, and the water dragons also starting to destroy other kingdoms and attacking the empire as well."
"There is nothing the elder magus could do because His Highness Archduke is the strongest water magus, on par with legendary magus in the past. The only one who could stop him was Saint Raphael."
"But when the world needed him most, he vanished."
[Wait, why does that last line sound so familiar?]
Jean was stunned and heartbroken when he heard about his big brother going on a rampage. Because he knew that it was partly his fault.
If only he agrees on his Big brother\'s request to break off the engagement with Saint Raphael, then the dark sprout inside Maximillien\'s heart wouldn\'t be triggered.
"Then, how did you find me?"
"I found you while I was running away from the water dragons that rampages the academy. There are so many casualties, so many died, I lost count…."
"But I ran into the deep woods alone, trying to save myself. Until I met Saint Raphael, who was heavily wounded, carrying you in his arm."
"I was about to beg him to protect the city because the water dragons would destroy everything and kill everyone at this point. And he nodded, but he wants me to hide with you, Young Master Jean, when you\'re heavily wounded."
"He told us not to leave the woods until his returns…."
