Just like that, 5 days went by in a flash with the Zalipnians settling down.

They had watched a lot of shows on the cathode ray tvs and were very pleased.

Speaking of T.Vs, they were in themselves simple computers.

Just like calculators or even photocopying machines, they operated on simpler functions and weren't as complex as laptops that had google and whatnot.

Tvs just focused on a few functions like On, Off, volume and so on.

Therefore, these cathode ray tvs were easy to make... At least to the Baymardians who had been making calculators, radios and photocopying machines.

Anyway, Tvs were already a part of Baymard and were used for news and whatnot.

And Lucia and the rest had enjoyed shows like Merlin and fear factor.

To them, the fat boxy T.V was truly extraordinary.

That said, the Zalipnians didn't spend all their time just watching Tv.

For the last 5 days, they applied for their Visas, started learning Pyno and had their medical check-up done.

As for the matter of their check-up, Landon found their reactions somewhat funny, especially when it came to their check-in results.

Their results were no joke.

Many needed minor/major surgeries and recuperation, as the old wounds that they had acquired throughout their journey were intense... their muscles had been strained and their bodies were overall tired.

Nutrients and other factors needed to be pumped into their bodies.

From what he understood, there was a period in their journey where they battled for 3 months straight almost every day.

And many of their men, ships and belongings were lost.

And the moment spring came, they sailed out of that island and fled for their lives.

They were first chased by another bunch of pirates who wanted revenge against the many pirates they killed on that island.

So they had been Wanted fugitives on the waters.

It was truly miraculous that they were here.

Again, at sea, the atmosphere was different, and with no fresh foods, fruits or anything else to give them constant nutrients, many are stale food that caused sickness instead.

The only thing they ate daily was fish.

.

Additionally, their rum and freshwater ran out, leaving them to drink salty ocean water which had other microns and bacteria in them.

One should know that before voyages, they usually filled barrels with fresh stream waters that had been boiled up.

Streams and river water weren't salty so they were typically the best water sources for many.

But the water from the ocean made them feel like they were chugging down several spoons of salt instead.

Nonetheless, even though they hated it, they still drank it.

What could they do?

That said, many factors contributed to their ill health while travelling here.

And now after everyone did their check-ups, the doctor told them what their best plan of action should be.

That said, since there were too many of them that needed several surgical procedures, the doctor decided to have them schedule their surgical appointments immediately.

But that was the issue here.

They weren't willing... At least not now.

What a joke!

They haven't even explored the city to their heart's content, and the doctor was telling them that after the surgery, they might have to stay in bed for months?

Forget it!

Let them finish their exploration before forcing them to bed.

No way!

.

"Your highness'.

As your subordinates, how can we boom the first surgeries and allow you to wait while in pain?"

"Yeah your highness'

Seeing you hurt makes us feel hurt as well.

So wouldn't we be seen as uncaring if we go first and let you all suffer?"

"I agree your highness'

Please, go first."

Everyone shook their heads and looked at Javis, Andrew and Lucia pitifully.

They looked like they were showing filial love towards the Zalipnian royals.

One of Andrew's aides stepped forward.

"Your highness'

It is our duty to protect you all.

So for the sake of his majesty and the queen back in Zalipnia, we cannot watch you continue to live in pain.

Why, just last night, I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about your conditions.

That's why..."

'Crip!'

(°0°)

--silence--

Everyone glanced on the floor to see what was dropped.

It was a pamphlet on the city's touristic sights.

Andrew and Javis's mouths twitched.

For our own good aye?

Then why does it seem like you all are rushing us towards the hospital so that you can go out and play?

And what do you mean that you couldn't sleep because you were worrying about our conditions?

Are you sure it wasn't because you were watching the T.V?

Who are you all trying to fool?

.

The 37-year-old aide quickly picked up the pamphlet and coughed awkwardly.

"Your highness'

As I said, it's for your own good."

Immediately, many others agreed as well.

"Yes your highness'

We are doing it because we want you to get well."

(^∆^)

As the men spoke, Lucia was quite amused by their ability to turn white to black.

Why hadn't she noticed that they had this sort of skills?

It was quite funny.

Well, she didn't blame them because she too would've done the same.

Andrew and Javis just smiled while watching everyone jump around and express themselves passionately.

"Alright!

We as royals understand your worries.

But it's because of your love and care that our consciences wouldn't allow us to sleep well knowing that you all are injured.

That's why we took our time out to schedule a list with the doctors for everyone.

So tomorrow, the first group will go for their operation.

And tomorrow, the next group will go as well.

We as royals are responsible for your lives.

So how can we go for treatment without ensuring that everyone has been treated?

That's why we had decided to be the last group of people going for treatment.

Now, here's the list.

Tomorrow, the first set of people will go to the hospital at their scheduled time.

Aren't you all happy?"

"_"

.

Happy?

How could they be happy?

Your highness'

Aren't you all using the same excuse as we did?

As royals, how can you be so shameless?

Everyone felt helpless and nervous as they looked at the list.

Some wanted to cry when they saw their names appear early.

While others jumped in excitement instead.

Very quickly, they looked at their names and strategized about what attraction they could see before they went for treatment and recuperation.

As for Lucia, she didn't need any major surgeries.

She mostly had swollen regions on her body from punches and kicks from her enemies.

Maybe it was because she was a beautiful girl who the enemy always underestimated.

So because of this, the enemy typically teased her and hardly had any intention to actually stab her to death.

Everyone that she had encountered during this journey had looked at her lustfully and seemed to be determined to have her as a bed mate instead.

And because they took her as weak, many had died under her calculations.

They had greater raw strength, but she had brains.

She couldn't remember how many people had died from her sword after she kicked the thing between their legs.

It might be foul play and too vulgar for a lady to do.

But anything goes in war, so she wasn't all that embarrassed.

That said, she was in better condition than her brothers and almost everyone else.

So she didn't need surgery, just treatment for her bruised belly, arms and thighs.

Luckily, she was dark in complexion and it was easier for her to hide them.

Plus, her clothes covered those regions, so she wasn't worried about it getting exposed.

.

Everyone checked their names in the list diligently.

And everything else was said and done, Javis, Andrew and Lucia went to Landon's office.

It was time to get serious.
