Upon hearing the word 'husband', Cocotte's eyes flickered slightly.
But this subtle movement went unnoticed by anyone; she simply sighed helplessly.
"Let's talk about thanks later."
"Alright, let's go through the discharge procedures now. I won't be returning to the council for a while."
She waved her hand and slowly left the ward, leaving everyone with some space to talk.
As she walked, she didn't forget to add a few words to the crowd:
"Oh right, you don't need to prepare a room for me."
"Your house is so big, so please reserve that garden for me."
"I prefer to sleep in those kinds of places."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door slammed shut, leaving Leah and Gwen staring at each other in bewilderment.
What exactly did that Representative Yad mean?
At first, they thought Kokot would stay in the Empire and the hospital for the time being, with Victor coming to check on him regularly and provide treatment periodically.
Unexpectedly,
This congressman actually intends to...
"Simply move into our house?"
Lia raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat strange.
...
Soon after, Viktor was officially discharged from the hospital.
In less than half a day, almost the entire capital city knew that Victor had been discharged from the hospital.
Nobles from all over the empire flocked to the vicinity of the hospital, including the emperor himself.
Numerous nobles expressed their gratitude to Victor in an orderly manner.
They then piled various antiques, jewelry, sculptures, and paintings into the Clevner family's carriage as gifts of gratitude.
In the end, the carriage could barely hold all the overflowing gifts.
They even went so far as to load all sorts of gifts into their own carriages, filling the passenger compartment as well, and send them all to Clevner Estate.
Emperor Aubrey, accompanied by his daughter, visited the hospital. As soon as Victor stepped out of the gate, he greeted him with words of comfort.
He praised Victor in front of all the nobles as a hero who protected the empire and saved countless lives.
Furthermore, he bestowed the title of Earl upon Victor on the spot at the hospital entrance.
The fifteen-year-old princess clung tightly to Victor's arm, her eyes glistening with tears.
Then she pleaded in her soft, delicate voice:
"Teacher, you must recover as soon as possible."
"I look forward to you teaching me more new magic!"
The little princess of this era has no other emotions in her eyes.
All they felt was absolute love and respect for their teacher.
Victor also showed the appropriate attitude of a teacher; he reached out and patted the little princess's head before getting into the carriage.
Kokot was already seated inside the Clevner family's carriage.
The situation outside was too big for her to handle, so she did not show up.
After all, she is an elf, so she should still try to hide her true nature a little.
Meanwhile, Victor sat comfortably inside the carriage, listening to the cheers and praises emanating from the people outside.
He sat calmly opposite the lazy dog spirit, who seemed somewhat bewildered yet tried hard to remain composed, and asked:
"Why are you helping me like this?"
"We've only just met."
Moreover, even the conclusion that he wouldn't live much longer was made by Kokot himself.
As a result, it seemed as if she was about to break the conclusion she had set for herself.
Hearing this, Cocot raised an eyebrow, looked at Viktor with an expression as if he were an idiot, and said:
"Didn't I already say? It was your empire that invited me to come and treat you."
"If I fail to cure you, wouldn't I lose face for the council?"
This reason is quite reasonable, and Viktor really couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
"And don't be too pessimistic."
Kokot glanced at Victor's chest and then said:
"What I said before was that you would only live for another year or two, which was a conservative estimate."
"Maybe in this year, I'll study your burns and heal you?"
Anything is possible.
Seeing Victor pause slightly upon hearing this, Cocotte coughed twice, worried that he might doubt his motives, and quickly added:
"Also, I didn't help you for nothing."
Viktor looked up at her with a slightly puzzled expression.
At that moment, Cocotte grinned, revealing a happy smile, as bright and clear as a spring day.
"The stories you told before were too brief; I couldn't understand them very well."
"Tell me more about it later."
