Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3288

Montiria was ultimately someone else's domain. Although Matthew held the title of Prime Regent, Mortimer was still the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. Even if Fiorenna hadn't voiced her displeasure yet, it was only a matter of time before she did.

"I'll leave everything in your capable hands, Prime Regent," Fiorenna said, weariness evident in her voice as she stood. "Privately, I'll call you Great Prince Matthew Larson. I'm feeling a bit exhausted, so I'll go rest now."

After the Flying Armor stormed the palace the night before, Fiorenna had spent the entire night on edge with her child. Adding to the stress, the morning brought the news of Gadel's disappearance and pressure from the ministers. The physical and emotional toll had left her feeling dizzy with fatigue.

As she left the pavilion, Matthew sat there rubbing his temples, his head pounding. The king was missing, Fiorenna was occupied with the newborn, and here he was, left to run the government. To the outside world, he wielded more power than Fiorenna herself. It all felt eerily like a storyline where the regent seizes power, eliminates the king, and then dominates the queen and her young son. The thought weighed on him.

Yet, regardless of his concerns, the plan had to move forward. Matthew still had to visit the homes of the surviving ministers to handle some delicate negotiations.

Chief Financial Officer Kainne lay sprawled on an oversized bed at home, groaning in pain as several doctors carefully applied ointment to his wounds.

"Ah…easy! Are you trying to kill me?" Kainne winced, his voice filled with agony.

"We're being as gentle as we can," one of the doctors said helplessly. "But with wounds like these, there's no avoiding some pain."

Kainne’s back was a mess of torn skin and blood, and even the doctors flinched at the sight of it. One doctor’s finger accidentally pressed too hard on his injury.

"AHH!" Kainne’s scream echoed through the room, tears of regret streaming down his face.
