Something is wrong with Henry recently, Eric can feel that Henry's cheeks are always a little red, and when they hug each other naked, Eric can feel that Henry's body is a little abnormally hot.

"You have a fever?" Eric touched Henry's forehead.

"Maybe, I've been feeling weak lately, and I've been having some headaches these days." Henry coughed twice, and the blush on his cheeks became more and more obvious against the backdrop of his pale skin.

"Too tired, lately?" Eric was a little worried, he knew Henry's body all too well, this abnormally high body temperature must be due to illness.

"It's okay... just occasionally I have a severe headache." Henry closed his eyes and hugged Eric tightly.

"Let me get you some medicine." Eric mused, he had almost divided up the wound medicine he brought from the Black Forest. The place is remote and there has been a war all the time, so it is difficult to get medicine, but I didn't bring this medicine for fever because I didn't think of it, but I should be able to get something from the surrounding forest that can replace the medicine. Although it is not as effective as the medicinal materials in the dark forest, it is worse than nothing.

"No need, it's not a serious illness." Henry coughed slightly again, and hugged Eric tightly: "I'll just hold you and sleep."

"Then go to sleep..." Eric kissed Henry's forehead tenderly, but couldn't let go of the worries in his heart.

Within a few days, Eric discovered that Henry's illness showed no sign of getting better, but was getting worse.Moreover, Eric clearly noticed that Henry's neck was swollen, so Eric pulled Henry off the horse in shock and examined it carefully for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Henry was a little confused.

"Have you been bitten by a mosquito recently?" Eric reached out and pulled Henry's collar.

"Cough...be careful, let's talk in the tent." Henry looked around at the soldiers, and pulled Eric into the nearest tent.

"Take off your clothes!" Eric rushed to take off Henry's clothes as soon as he entered the tent.

"...Why are you in heat all of a sudden, not now..." Henry knocked off Eric's hand angrily.

"No!" Eric's brow was sweating anxiously: "I'm here to see if you have any mosquito bites on your body."

"What's the matter? It's normal to be bitten by mosquitoes in this kind of place..." Henry saw Eric's serious expression and obediently took off his clothes. Eric immediately pulled Henry over and checked carefully, finally in Henry's A small erythematous spot was seen on the flank.

Eric's head buzzed at that moment.

"What's wrong?" Henry also looked at his abdomen, feeling a little itchy.

"...how come...how come...!!!" Eric held Henry tightly tightly: "Go back! Stop fighting! Go back!"

"What are you talking about, the war situation has just stabilized..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry back to England!" Eric's lips turned white.

"...What the hell is going on!?" Henry also realized the seriousness of the matter, and it was the first time he saw Eric sweating all over his head and face.

get sick

"...Typhus...you have typhus!" Eric grabbed Henry's shoulders tightly, then hugged Henry fiercely, and said in a trembling voice: "But it's okay, I know that in the dark forest There is medicine that can treat this disease, but you must go back with me first...while you are still in the incubation period."

Henry was also stunned when he heard Eric say the word 'typhus'. He knew that this disease was terminally ill...

"Impossible...you got it wrong..." Henry also began to feel chills all over his body: "I'm just a little tired and have a fever recently..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'll be able to cure you, don't worry." Eric hugged Henry tightly: "I won't let you die."

Although Henry was a little scared, he never thought that death would come to him so early, but in Eric's warm embrace, Henry stopped his beating heart, and Eric said that he had a way...he would definitely be able to Save himself, he has saved himself several times, and this time Henry has no doubts.

Henry withdrew his troops and returned to England the next day.

On the road, Henry's illness was obviously getting worse, and even Steve and his party found out. It didn't take long for Henry to even sit on a horse, so he had to sit in a carriage. Without any gossip, he stubbornly hugged Henry in the carriage and refused to leave him for a moment, comforted him in a low voice, and gently kissed Henry's forehead to make Henry feel at ease.

"I will definitely not let you die, don't worry, I will definitely not let you leave me." Eric looked at Henry, whose face was getting paler and paler with a little choking, hugged him tightly, and promised in a low voice .

"I know..." Henry's voice became a little weak, but he didn't worry at all: "I believe in you."

Eric turned his head away, not wanting Henry to see his tears.

Under Steve's urging, the army quickly rushed back to England. Eric personally carried Henry off the carriage, ignored the objections of the princes, and stubbornly carried him back to the bedroom. Under the watchful eyes of Ben and Catherine, he held Henry tightly. Hand: "Wait for me, I will be back soon! Wait for me!"

Henry nodded weakly, he almost didn't even have the strength to speak.

Ben看著Eric在转过头的一瞬间就掉下来的眼泪，本来想要冲过去揍他一顿的心情瞬间烟消云散──这个人……这个人虽然可恶，可是他是真的深深的爱著自己Your Majesty...

Catherine looked at her nominal husband lying on the bed, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh—the one who cried was that the man she loved but could never get was about to die, and the one who laughed was that this The man who trampled on his country and his dignity was finally about to die.

"Bring the child here." Catherine whispered to the maid.

Ben was stunned to one side, staring at Catherine intently, but Catherine didn't even look at him, just staring at the pale but still handsome man on the bed with half-closed eyes.

Not long after, the maid brought a pink and cute baby, and Catherine took the baby, ignoring Ben's pleading eyes, and gently sat beside Henry.

"You all go down." Catherine waved her hand, and the maids all backed away, and Ben also backed away slowly, but his eyes were fixed on Catherine, biting his lip, but in the end he said nothing, and stretched out his hand to close his mouth. The door of the bedroom.

Catherine lowered her head to tease the child with round eyes, looked at Henry's expressionless face, and reached out to stroke Henry's hair.

"Hal...my husband...do you think the child is cute? This is your child and mine." The woman smiled wryly, looking at Henry's rolling green eyes: "It's a pity that the child's eye color is not up to you, God testifies , how much I love your eyes, which are more beautiful than any emerald in the world... Although this gem of yours always shines with a cold light that hurts me when facing me."

Henry's Adam's apple twitched, and there was guilt in his eyes.

"Oh, don't look at me with that look, I don't need your pity...Hal, I don't need your pity...I'm a woman, I'm a woman who loves you...I'm a woman who expects to be loved by you ..." Catherine choked with sobs and said in a low voice: "But your eyes are not even willing to stay on me for a moment... Your hands are not even willing to touch a single hair of mine..." Catherine's hand fondled Henry Straight nose: "Hal, do you know how much I love you...? And do you know how much I hate you...?"

Henry closed his eyes, gasped and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

"I don't want your apology! Not your apology!" Catherine suddenly screamed frantically: "Do you know whose child this is!? This is my child and Ben's! Yes! That's right! I deliberately Drunk him! Let him have a child with me! Everyone thought it was my child and yours! It was the blood in my stomach before you left! But who knows, you don’t even have one of my No fingers touched!? You know how much I wish this baby was mine and you!? You know I pray to God every day to turn your eyes from your unknown lover to me for even a moment!? Catherine gasped excitedly, and continued: "I did this on purpose! I want to kill the king of the British Empire! And the sixth king who will sit on the throne in the future is not your blood!"

Henry looked at this calmly
