Getting permission from Lucian was actually very easy.
However, Lana soon noticed something strange.
Lucian's attitude felt… different.
He wasn't ignoring her exactly, but he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. His responses were brief and distant.
'Did something happen to him?' Lana wondered.
The thought made her search through her memories of her past life.
But even after thinking carefully for a long time, she couldn't remember anything significant happening to Lucian around this time.
Meanwhile, Lucian himself wasn't doing well.
He lay on his bed, his body burning with fever. The temperature kept rising, leaving his breathing uneven.
Beside him, his assistant looked extremely worried.
"You should call the healing spirit," the assistant urged anxiously. "It can heal you."
Lucian shook his head weakly. "The healing spirit won't help."
A cold light appeared in his eyes.
"Once I deal with that person… I'll make sure she regrets triggering it."
