Elias gave the small vial of the liquid to Theo, who just looked at it from every direction.
"What does this do?" he asked in curiosity.
"This is my town's healing paste. It's said to give instant relief on bruises," Elias spoke while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, as if thinking the gift was too little for the youngest Merrick.
"I got permission from the butler that you can use this—it's safe to use."
Theo looked at the ointment in a new light. His knight training was very hard sometimes, so pain in the wrists and shoulders, with some in other connecting muscles, was a normal day for him.
Even now, his arms were sore from the training in the morning.
He quickly opened the wooden cork from the vial and got some of the paste in his hand.
"It's really cold," Theo stated while he smudged it between his fingers.
Soon, he applied the paste on his left arm to see if something happened.
