Having obtained the king's permission and with the court physician hesitating, he played a little trick, creating a very mysterious atmosphere.
This made the king inevitably worried. He turned to him, "What's wrong? Since you've come, you must have something to say, right?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Louis has beaten Prince Taylor," the court physician said with a grave expression, sighing, "and he beat him severely, leaving him bruised and swollen, unable to show his face."
The king stopped in his tracks, looking at him with some disbelief.
The court physician also stopped, and the two middle-aged men's gazes met. The court physician couldn't quite figure out what the king was thinking at the moment, but he knew that he had successfully made his complaint.
After a few seconds of silence, the king asked him, "What was the reason?"
The calm tone surprised the court physician, but it was clear that the king was not aware of this matter before.
"I'm asking you for the reason," the king repeated, his tone calm but with a hint of impatience. "Don't hesitate, just speak."
The court physician quickly regained his composure. "I... I'm not sure."
"Not sure, and yet you made a complaint?" The king saw through him, seeming to understand his thoughts in a second.
The words "made a complaint" struck the court physician, making him feel a little guilty and somewhat embarrassed because making a complaint was something only a three-year-old child would do.
The king glanced at him, his gaze withdrawing, and continued to stride forward.
The court physician hung his head, half-bent, feeling somewhat ashamed as he followed alongside the king.
And so, the topic ended there. The king didn't mention it again, and the court physician dared not continue with the complaint.
