Cassian had always been striking in appearance, the kind of beauty that carried a dangerous edge, with sharp brows and a straight, aristocratic nose that made people look twice. Yet seeing him standing like this had a completely different impact, one that felt immediate and almost unreal.

that He held himself upright with quiet composure, his tall frame steady and balanced in a way made the dark folds of his coat shift lightly when he moved, briefly revealing the firm strength along his forearm. For a fleeting moment, he looked less like a man recovering from injury and more like a figure stepped out of an old portrait hanging in some gallery.

Elowen opened her mouth to speak, only to realize her voice trembled the moment the words left her lips.

“Cassian… how are you…”

Cassian’s mouth curved into a faint smile, and his tone remained warm and unhurried.

“I found out last night that I can stand for a short while,” he explained. “So this morning I had Hugh come take a look. After the treatment, I can stay on my feet for a bit longer.”

Across the room, Hugh wiped down a row of silver needles with the bored patience of someone who had already lost interest in the conversation.

“That’s enough,” Hugh said flatly. “Sit down.”

Cassian behaved as if he had not heard a single word. His gaze remained fixed on Elowen.

Elowen pressed her lips together before speaking softly.

“Cassian… you should listen to him. Please sit.”

Only then did Cassian give in. He returned to the wheelchair and settled into it with an ease that made the movement look deliberate, as though sitting had been his own decision all along.

Hugh stared at him.

So that’s how it is? Playing favorites now? What, the problem isn’t just your legs–your ears don’t work either?

Elowen suddenly remembered something and turned toward Hugh.

“Doctor Dray, his legs improving like this… is it because of the hot springs?” Hugh slid the cleaned needles neatly back into their case before answering.

“The hot springs certainly help,” he said. “The warmth improves circulation, which benefits his condition. But that alone would not explain such a sudden change.”

He paused, then cast Cassian a long, meaningful look before continuing.

“When I checked his pulse this morning, I noticed something unusual. Recently, he experienced several strong shocks to the system.”

Elowen blinked in confusion. “Shocks?”

“Yes. Three times.”

Elowen froze.

A heartbeat later, realization struck. Color rushed up her face so quickly it reached the tips of her ears.

Hugh continued in the same calm tone, completely unmoved by her reaction.

“Those three shocks caused his blood to surge and break through several blocked pathways in his body. In a way, they forced circulation where it had been stagnant.”

His eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

“And if you think about it, when he woke from that long coma before, it was also triggered by some kind of shock. Unfortunately I was not in Vanelle at the time, and it happened long ago, so I have no idea what caused it.”

He snapped his case shut with a quiet click.

Without lingering, Hugh offered a few routine reminders about rest and treatment, then tossed out a casual farewell. “I’ll come back tomorrow.”

With that, he walked out. The door closed softly behind him.

The room fell silent, leaving only Elowen and Cassian. Without warning, Elowen felt her nerves tighten.

Then something struck her all at once, and she jumped to her feet.

“Oh no. Mira. I asked Mira to fetch water earlier. If she went toward the rock garden…”

Cassian reached out and caught her wrist before she could rush away, guiding her gently back

onto the couch.

“It’s alright,” he said. “The guards will stop her.”

He gave her hand a small reassuring squeeze. “Ella, do you know why I woke up from the coma back then?”

Elowen blinked,

She had wondered about that many times. In her previous life, Cassian had remained unconscious for years.

Cassian spoke slowly, his gaze soft.

“It was because of you.”

Elowen stared at him, momentarily speechless.

“You married me. You slept beside me.” Cassian lowered his eyes slightly. “For me, that was… a tremendous shock.”

He began to continue in the same calm voice. “As for my legs, and those three shocks…”

“I know,” Elowen cut in quickly, her face burning with embarrassment. “I know what you mean. You don’t have to explain.”

Cassian lifted his brows slightly at her flustered expression. Amusement flickered in his eyes before he changed the subject without warning.

“Who named you Elowen?”

The sudden question caught her off guard.

“My grandfather,” she answered after a brief pause.

Cassian nodded slowly. His gaze lingered on her a little longer. “He chose well.”

Elowen tilted her head, puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Cassian looked as though he were smiling and not smiling at the same time. “What a good name.”

The words were spoken softly, yet each one struck her heart with quiet force.

Elowen went still.

In that moment, she thought of her grandfather.
