Life of Being a Crown Prince in France-Chapter 557 - 468: A World Where Only Perna is Injured
The nurse was startled into standing up by the sudden shout, turning her head to look at the person approaching, "Lieutenant Angerx, what are you doing..."
The French Lieutenant, pointing at the Austrian officer behind her, grit his teeth and said, "Anais is mine, how dare you seduce her!"
Anais hurriedly stood in front of him, anxiously saying, "Lieutenant Angerx, please don’t, I’ve always regarded you as my best friend."
She glanced back at the Austrian, "And Felinc, I, I truly like..."
"No!" Angerx immediately roared in fury, "You’ve been fooled by this bastard!"
He had always been pursuing Anais but she had been evasive towards him. However, today he saw his goddess being intimate with an Austrian, and his emotions instantly spiraled out of control.
After being called a "bastard" several times and slandered as a trickster, Felinc also stood up in anger, his voice cold, "You rude fellow, it is right that Anais didn’t choose you."
The French were always proud and looked down upon the Austrians as "farmers from the mountains." Hearing the challenging words from the other side, he could no longer restrain himself, pushed past the nurse, and swung his right fist towards Felinc.
The Austrian Major raised a hand to block, and without any courtesy, his other hand struck straight at Angerx’s face.
The French Lieutenant, hit by a punch, saw red even more, and like a wild beast, howled as he lunged at the other man.
Anais, frightened, turned pale, wanting to stop them, but was completely unable to intervene between the two strong men, so she turned and ran towards the center of the war hospital, shouting as she went, "Someone come quick! Who will stop them!"
Having been busy all day, Doctor Perna tiredly headed to the drying area to check on the beddings disinfection, even though it was someone else’s responsibility, she still prudently checked every day.
She had just passed the pile of wood used for making crutches and stretchers when she heard a girl’s shouting from the side, and quickly grabbed her white coat and ran over.
"Doctor, Doctor Perna?" seeing her, Anais immediately felt reassured and pointed behind her, "They’re fighting..."
Doctor Perna hurriedly followed her and soon saw two patients engaging in what could be called a "battle of the disabled" not far away.
She went forward anxiously to stop them, "Gentlemen, please stop fighting!"
The rivals, seeing each other red with rage, were already bloody-faced and paid no attention to the voices around them.
Doctor Perna, feeling helpless, mustered her courage and went to pull them apart, "You are both injured, how can you still..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Felinc’s fist swept towards Angerx, who ducked, the strike landing squarely on Doctor Perna’s face.
"Ugh..."
The Austrian Lieutenant Colonel felt that he had hit an "unknown object" and instinctively turned to look, but Angerx took advantage of his distraction and kicked at his waist.
The soldier’s sensitivity to danger caused Felinc to desperately retreat half a step back; Angerx’s boot brushed past his clothes but landed on Doctor Perna’s back.
The female doctor was thrown sideways, landing in a patch of weeds nearby.
Anais, with the dying light of the sunset, saw Doctor Perna lying motionless on the ground, her eyes widening in shock, she let out a piercing scream, "Ah—Doctor Perna is dead!"
The intensely fighting pair heard "Doctor Perna" and instantly stopped, quickly rushing to the woman’s side, only relaxing when they heard her pained moans.
Suddenly, both men pointed at each other and bellowed, "Bastard, you hurt Doctor Perna!"
"How dare you strike Doctor Perna, I will kill you!"
The war hospital was situated far behind the front lines, so there were not many patrolling guards. Only now did a team of guards turn up nearby, hearing the scream, they hurried over, "What has happened here?"
"Who’s there?!"
Upon seeing his own people arrive, Angerx immediately grabbed his rival and shouted, "It’s this Austrian bastard, he’s injured Doctor Perna!"
From a distance, Felinc saw the guards’ white military uniforms and guessed that even with the truth on his side, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself clearly. Following the principle that a wise man doesn’t court danger, he forcefully shook off Angerx and hobbled towards the edge of the battlefield hospital to escape.
Angerx was about to pursue when Anais stood in front of him with her arms wide open, even turning her head to shout at the Austrians’ retreating figure, "You run, I’ll hold them off!"
Half an hour later.
In the largest tent of the battlefield hospital, military doctor Adam checked Perna’s injuries and turned to the officers who were waiting by the side, "Please don’t worry, Doctor Perna’s bones are intact, and she’s not in great danger."
The hundreds of wounded surrounding the tent all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They had all been treated by Perna and many of their lives were saved by her. Hearing that she had been injured, they all came nervously to visit.
An officer in charge of the camp’s security looked at Anais and Angerx, demanding seriously, "What exactly happened here?"
Anais hadn’t seen clearly at the time and could not articulate the situation.
Angerx, however, indignantly said, "It was that damn Austrian, he attacked Doctor Perna!"
"An Austrian?" the officer frowned, "What’s his name?"
Angerx turned to look at Anais. The nurse hesitantly whispered, "Felinc..."
The wounded from the tent entrance saw the bruising around Perna’s eyes and instantly they wouldn’t stand for it.
That was the kind, lovely, and charming Doctor Perna, adored by many a fan in the French Army, practically idolized by everyone in the battlefield hospital.
Now someone dared to hurt her?!
Someone roared in anger, "I’m going to slaughter that guy!"
"Felinc, I know him, he’s with the Austrian Seventh Dragoon Regiment."
"Who dares to come with me to teach that bastard a lesson?"
"I do!"
"And me!"
"I’ll go too..."
Lying on her cot, Perna heard the commotion outside the tent and wanted to stop them, but her weak voice was heard by no one.
A large number of wounded, risking punishment, returned to their units that night and angrily informed their comrades of Doctor Perna’s assault. Discover exclusive tales on novelbuddy
The proud French soldiers couldn’t swallow the insult inflicted by the Austrians, and the very next morning, over a thousand French soldiers boldly approached the Austrian Seventh Dragoon Regiment’s camp. Their officers only made a symbolic attempt to stop them and then let them go, some even joining in to discipline the Austrians.
Inside the Austrian camp, Felinc nervously defended himself to the Cavalry Camp’s commander, "It was that French Lieutenant, he’s the one who injured Doctor Perna! He’s framing me!"
"You swear it?"
"I swear to Jesus, it was that Frenchman who knocked down Doctor Perna!"

The commander, who had also been treated by Perna, immediately darkened his expression, "Shameless Frenchman, they dare to come here and make a scene!"
He turned to the messenger, "Order the entire regiment to assemble."
Ten minutes later, the taunting French and Austrian soldiers could scarcely contain their hostility, and some charged across to start a fight.
Quickly, outside the Austrian Dragoon Regiment’s camp, a brawl of unprecedented scale broke out.
