Nameless King

Eva decided to help Feno prepare a healing ointment. Feno was glad that the people he saved were kind and easygoing.

"You know, when I walked into the room and saw your cold stare, I got really scared." Feno said, hiding the petals from the green flower.

"Yeah, I was a little out of it at the time. Sorry about the cup."

"No, it's okay. You're helping me make the salve. I couldn't have done it so fast without you." Feno muttered, rubbing the leaves in a mortar.

"These nuts are actually very strong. I didn't expect that. By the way, Feno, what do you do? You seem to be quite good with flowers and medicines."

"I work as an assistant in a small apothecary and have some knowledge of medicine and alchemy."

"Oh, you know how to make potions and various pills?" Eva was interested.

"Not really." Feno scratched the back of his head, "I only know how to make medicine, I don't have enough knowledge in other areas, and for some reason, I'm not good at making battle and defense potions."

"That's pretty cool anyway! You can use your knowledge to save someone, isn't that great?"

"Yeah...maybe...I like my job and what I do, but even in the medical field, I'm not very good at it." Feno said sadly.

"Hmm? Why do you think so?"

"Well... The shopkeeper says I have no talent and I'm wasting my time. Maybe he's right, and I should quit medicine and do something else."

"Hey, don't say that. The ointment you made helped me recover, and I'm sure your other medications work just as well. Am I right?"

"Yeah, when I help someone, I always get thanked, but I think it's because of common courtesy." Feno muttered, mixing the basic ingredients.

"No, they praise you because you did your job well, and that's natural." Eva put her hand on Feno's head and lightly rubbed it, "You need to be more confident. Your self-esteem is too low. If you don't believe in yourself, then you definitely won't succeed!"

Feno smiled, "Yeah, right, you're right."

Eva's words inspired him, and he finished making the healing ointment.

"Now, all that's left is to turn him over on his back and rub the ointment into his wounds. He'll be all right in a few hours, and he'll be up and about. By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Eva, and this is Wain."

Feno nodded and handed the bowl of ointment to Eva, "I think you'd better do it."

"Of course, in a way, it's my responsibility."

Eva removed Wain's outer clothing and rolled him over onto his stomach. There was a massive bleeding wound on Wain's back. It was as if a bomb had exploded in his back. The impact on the water's surface was more traumatic than Eva thought.

She took some ointment and gently began rubbing it into Wain's back.

...

"You're doing pretty good."

"There's nothing hard about it you just need a little patience." Eva said and used the last of the ointment.

"Good, now we just have to wait a little while, and he'll wake up." Feno yawned, "It's pretty late, so I'm going to go to bed."

"Sure, I'll keep an eye on him."

"In that case, good night."

Eva watched Wain intently until, at one point, sleep overcame her. She fell asleep next to Wain's bed, leaning against it.

...

Eva got up the next day because of the rays of sunlight that fell on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was on the bed and Wain was gone. Eva quickly got up and headed to the other room.

"Oh, Eva, you're up already!" Feno said, sitting at the table in the hall.

"Good morning." Wain said sipping her tea with Feno.

"Wain! How are your wounds? Are you okay? I was worried about you!"

"Yeah, that guy's ointment turned out pretty good. My wounds are almost healed, and soon there won't be a trace of them left."

Eva smiled. She was glad nothing irreparable had happened to Wain and that her prank hadn't ended badly.

"Feno, do you have anything sweet at home?"

"Yes, honey and dried sugar cane sticks. You can even combine them with tea and make a great dessert if you want."

p "Huh, why didn't you tell me that before?" Wain grinned.

"So you didn't ask. I thought you didn't like sweets."

"Don't be silly, everyone likes sweets. Where's the honey?"

Wain, Eva, and Feno had breakfast together and spent a lot of time at the same table. They talked about distracted topics, and also Eva and Wain said to Feno why they were in the water.

"Wain, Eva, pardon my rudeness, but what race are you from? I've never seen the likes of you. I originally thought you were elves, but your ears aren't sharp at all."

"We..."

"We are Elves." Wain interrupted Eva without letting her speak.

'What is he talking about?' Eva was puzzled as to why Wain did this.

"What? Are there any Elves with ears like that? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing." Feno was puzzled. Elves were a well-known race, and just about everyone knew about their pointy ears. It was their distinctive feature.

"This world is wide and full of wonders. We are a rare species of Elves who have dark hair and yet light skin."

"Something between Elves and Dark Elves?"

"Yes, there are very few of us, and many don't even know we exist, but that's not a problem. We're used to it. Moreover, if you look closely at our ears, you will see that they are a bit pointed." Wain naturally said.

"Oh, forgive my ignorance." Feno looked again at Wain's ears, "Yes, now I see. At least a little, but yours look like elvish ones. I was too inattentive."

"That's all right. It doesn't really matter what race we are." Wain took a sip of warm herbal tea, "Feno, would you like to show us the city?"
