Unlike usual, that night Adrien felt very sleepy and weak. Gilbert asked a servant to take care of the king's needs so he could rest.
Elias helped him lie down on the bed. Cold sweat instantly drenched Adrien's body, even though he kept complaining that he felt cold.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Elias asked as he checked Adrien's face.
Adrien shook his head. "I don't know. I feel very tired. I can't open my eyes," he said weakly.
Elias was clearly worried about him, but Adrien held his hand and smiled.
"I just need to rest. You can go back to your room and sleep," said Adrien.
Elias shook his head. "Can I stay with you tonight?" he asked.
Adrien chuckled softly and nodded. "Of course, my dear."
Gilbert smiled at the two of them. He asked if Adrien needed anything else, then left immediately when Adrien said he did not.
After Gilbert left, Elias took off his clothes and changed into the pajamas in the king's dressing room.
