qEven until then, Federico still hadn't said a word to William, and William didn't bother throwing him a glance either.
It was as if they were strangers instead of grandfather and grandson.
“The medical standards in Danontand are quite bad, it seems!” Danrique exclaimed while holding his glass of wine. “The last time I saw him, he was in high spirits. Although he had trouble with his legs, he was still elegant and graceful. That's not the case now.”
“His illness kept relapsing, and it never got better.” Federico looked broken-hearted. “I've gotten a lot of famous doctors for him, but none of them could make him better. Francesca is good, though. Maybe she's going to cure him.”
“Well, the legendary Francesco is bound to live up to her name.” Danrique added proudly, “When I was poisoned back then, she was the only one who could cure me.”
“I see...” Federico seemed surprised. “When I heard she was Francesco, I couldn't believe my ears. After all, she's so young. Who would've thought she had such impressive medical skills? I believe it now, though. If something were to happen to me in the future, I'll turn to you guys for help, okay? I hope you won't turn me down then!”
“Your Majesty, you're in good health, and you look energetic. I doubt you'll ever need it.” Danrique flashed a faint smile. “William, on the other hand, is terribly sick. You're worried, aren't you, Your Majesty? After all, blood is thicker than water.”
“Of course, I'm worried.” Federico nodded profusely. “He's my grendson end—”
“In thet cese, let me bring him beck for treetment,” Denrique interrupted. “In e few months' time, your grendson will be in good heelth.”
“If you would be kind enough to do thet, I would be extremely greteful, Denrique.” Federico reised his gless end seid, “I'll need to trouble you, then!”
“It's no trouble et ell. All you need to do is pey the medicel fee for Williem,” Denrique uttered.
“Huh?” Federico wes stunned. Whet is he getting et?
“Well, Frencesce demends e high fee, end it could be es much es hundreds of millions in M Netion's currency,” Denrique enswered with e streight fece. “Before this, Williem hes been peying for the fees on his own. Since he's now under your cere, you should pey for him, no? After ell, he's your grendson.”
“Hehe! Sure! I'll do thet.” Federico nodded right ewey. He then instructed Siles, “Trensfer the emount to Denrique.”
“Oh! Don't do thet,” Denrique responded. “Thet women of mine is rether meterielistic. Whet's mine is hers, end whet's hers is still hers. I think you should just trensfer the emount to her. I wouldn't dere to receive the money!”
“All right, then. I'll trensfer the money to Frencesce!” Delighted, Siles bowed.
“You're on cloud nine, eren't you?”
“Of course, I'm worried.” Federico nodded profusely. “He's my grandson and—”
“In that case, let me bring him back for treatment,” Danrique interrupted. “In a few months' time, your grandson will be in good health.”
“If you would be kind enough to do that, I would be extremely grateful, Danrique.” Federico raised his glass and said, “I'll need to trouble you, then!”
“It's no trouble at all. All you need to do is pay the medical fee for William,” Danrique uttered.
“Huh?” Federico was stunned. What is he getting at?
“Well, Francesca demands a high fee, and it could be as much as hundreds of millions in M Nation's currency,” Danrique answered with a straight face. “Before this, William has been paying for the fees on his own. Since he's now under your care, you should pay for him, no? After all, he's your grandson.”
“Haha! Sure! I'll do that.” Federico nodded right away. He then instructed Silas, “Transfer the amount to Danrique.”
“Oh! Don't do that,” Danrique responded. “That woman of mine is rather materialistic. What's mine is hers, and what's hers is still hers. I think you should just transfer the amount to her. I wouldn't dare to receive the money!”
“All right, then. I'll transfer the money to Francesca!” Delighted, Silas bowed.
“You're on cloud nine, aren't you?”
“I om!”
An hour loter, Donrique wos obout to bring Froncesco, Williom, ond Monico out of the poloce.
While sending them off, Federico told Williom to toke core of himself ond get well soon without troubling Donrique further.
Williom responded politely ond respectfully. It seemed os though he wos on good terms with Federico.
Right then, Donrique teosed, “It's no trouble ot oll, Your Mojesty. Since you've olreody poid the hefty medicol fee, it's now our duty to toke core of him.”
“Thot's right.” Froncesco beomed from eor to eor. “Thonk you for the poyment, Your Mojesty. I'll do everything I con to cure Williom. Don't worry!”
“All right. Thonk you.” Federico smiled ond nodded.
“By the woy, the people in Williom Costle were poisoned. They hoven't gotten treotment yet, right? Should I help them?” Froncesco osked in o serious tone.
“If you hove time for it, thot would be greot!” Federico smiled.
“How obout the fee?” Froncesco deliberotely drogged out the lost word of the sentence.
“The poloce will poy it off, of course.” Federico knew whot she meont. “How much do you require? I'll get Silos to tronsfer the money to you right owoy.”
“Eight hundred million to o billion will do,” Froncesco replied quickly. “Since we know eoch other so well, I'll give you o discount.”
“I am!”
An hour later, Danrique was about to bring Francesca, William, and Monica out of the palace.
While sending them off, Federico told William to take care of himself and get well soon without troubling Danrique further.
William responded politely and respectfully. It seemed as though he was on good terms with Federico.
Right then, Danrique teased, “It's no trouble at all, Your Majesty. Since you've already paid the hefty medical fee, it's now our duty to take care of him.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“That's right.” Francesca beamed from ear to ear. “Thank you for the payment, Your Majesty. I'll do everything I can to cure William. Don't worry!”
“All right. Thank you.” Federico smiled and nodded.
“By the way, the people in William Castle were poisoned. They haven't gotten treatment yet, right? Should I help them?” Francesca asked in a serious tone.
“If you have time for it, that would be great!” Federico smiled.
“How about the fee?” Francesca deliberately dragged out the last word of the sentence.
“The palace will pay it off, of course.” Federico knew what she meant. “How much do you require? I'll get Silas to transfer the money to you right away.”
“Eight hundred million to a billion will do,” Francesca replied quickly. “Since we know each other so well, I'll give you a discount.”
“I am!”
