Chapter 339: Disturbing Results

Dr. Mark Philson was nervous as he waited outside Prince Stephen’s study at Fitzroy Park Palace.

“Dr. Philson?” Bixby repeated.

The doctor turned.

“Oh, I’m so sorry,” he said. “My mind was somewhere else.”

“It’s perfectly alright, doctor,” Bixby replied. “Prince Stephen will see you now.”

The doctor followed Bixby into the study, then walked forward   and bowed at the neck.

“Your royal highness,” he said.

“Doctor,” Stephen replied. “I didn’t expect to see you until next week, but fortunately, my morning schedule allowed for a brief audience. What news do you have? I assume my test results are back?”

Dr. Philson nodded.

“Yes, your royal highness,” he said. “That’s why I wanted to see you. There were some irregularities in your blood work that I want to follow up on. I was hoping to schedule some time for additional testing at Prince George’s Hospital.”

"You don't typically visit for this type of request, so I assume it's serious," Stephen asked. "Is there reason for me to be concerned?"

“Not at this time,” the physician replied. “While by themselves the lab results could be the result of several factors, your continued weight loss and digestive issues are cause for some concern. However, I’d prefer not to speculate until I have more information.”

Stephen studied him for a moment, then nodded.

“Well, then,” he said. “Have Bixby get something on the calendar.”

“Very good, your royal highness,” Dr. Philson said. “Thank you.”

The doctor stepped out of the room to find Bixby waiting.

“His royal highness has asked us to find time for additional medical tests at Prince George’s,” Dr. Philson said. “As soon as possible, please.”

Bixby looked at him intently.

“Is there a problem, doctor?” he asked.

“I sincerely hope not,” Dr. Philson replied.

4,000-Year-Old Tomb of Egyptian Royal Physician Found in Saqqara

Teti Neb Fu, a high-ranking physician during Pharaoh Pepi II's reign, held titles like Chief Dentist, Priest of Serket, and Director of Medicinal Plants.

In the southern region of the Saqqara archaeological site, a joint French-Swiss archaeological team made an important discovery uncovering the mastaba tomb of the royal physician Teti Neb Fu from the Old Kingdom, according to a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

This tomb, unearthed in the southern region of the archaeological site of Saqqara, known to contain the tombs of high-ranking officials from the Egyptian Old Kingdom, shows that medicine and magic were once equally revered, and expertise in both earned a long-dead physician to the pharaohs a place of honor among the ancient world’s most esteemed.

Dating back over 4,000 years to the reign of King Pepi II, this important find features exquisite carvings and vibrant artwork, including a painted false door and elaborate scenes depicting funeral offerings.

The sarcophagus found inside the tomb was also inscribed with the name of its occupant and his titles, according to the post. Because of the burial location in Saqqara, researchers knew he was important, but Teti Neb Fu’s official titles named him as the chief palace physician.

Teti Neb Fu, who held prestigious titles such as Chief Palace Physician, Chief Dentist, and Director of Medicinal Plants, also had a unique role as a “Magician” of the Goddess Serket, specializing in the treatment of venomous bites.

Additionally, he was known as the “Great Physician of Teeth” and “Director of Medicinal Plants”, suggesting that he led research and practical applications in the fields of dentistry and the use of therapeutic herbs.

Even though it had been looted in the past, the mastaba still has many of its ornamental features. The director of the archaeological mission, Dr. Philippe Collombert, said the walls are decorated with remarkable reliefs and inscriptions, including a complex frieze that displays the owner’s name and titles.

Among the most remarkable elements is the red-painted ceiling, which is intended to resemble granite blocks, a material commonly found in imposing buildings. The titles and name of the doctor are also written in the middle of the ceiling. An additional noteworthy discovery within the mastaba is a stone sarcophagus, which has hieroglyphic decorations inside that offer more information about Teti Neb Fu and his accomplishments.

Mohamed Ismail Khaled, secretary-general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, emphasized the importance of this discovery, stating that the texts and drawings on the tomb’s walls unveil new insights into the daily life of the Old Kingdom.

This discovery strengthens Saqqara’s position as one of Egypt’s most important historical sites and contributes to its rich archaeological legacy.

Excavations in this area of Saqarra began in 2022, to unearth the graves of state employees for King Pepi who are buried near him and his wives, officials said.

absolute travesty that there are NO royalty-au spirk fics centered around the overwhelming amounts of devotion and loyalty between the two. WHERE are my fics with Spock on his knees pledging fealty to King James Kirk????

they're all about princes falling in love and arraigned marriages and political intrigue and YES that's GREAT and i do love them, but what if i want kings???

I need a fic about the bond between a king and his loyal advisor-slash-nobleman which has been slowly developing for DECADES before anyone involved gets their shit together, or a fic where Spock has practically taken on the role of King Consort before either of them notice simply because Kirk trusts him so much, or a fic where it slowly becomes apparent that King Kirk's loyalty is first to his kingdom, yes, but second to Spock alone, and he will go to war for him.

I need crazy stupid devotion, that's what I need!!!!

I imagine that marcy would need frequent trips to the rejuvenation tank in RiA, on account of her clumsyness(and because Andrias wouldn’t let her go to a normal hospital, what with making her dependent on him)

Oooh possibly! That's such a cool concept... even if she just has to be there for a few hours over a twisted ankle or something... ever since she was little, she learned how to operate it herself: how to put on the mask, what fluids are needed, how to make herself sleep... it's so perfectly normal for her, she doesn't realize how perverse it really is.

The Leper King

Dialogue from Chapter 2

Right now, I am not able to concentrate and make a quality translation of my fanfic. However, I have animated a small dialogue from it (please watch with sound).

Thanks to @madeleinerosexxx, who drew our attention to such a wonderful image of Baldwin IV in a hood. It inspired me to create this video. Hopefully, you don't mind that I used it.

Special thanks to the developer of the chat animation app, without which this dialogue would have been technically much more difficult to visualize: https://chat-animator.net/

At the moment, only the 3rd chapter has been translated into English: https://www.tumblr.com/ringio/755461785077891072/the-leper-king

just make sure to avoid the rose bushes next time, will you?

The fact that there aren’t any fics about the Royal Family’s physician kinda surprises me.

How long have they been with the family? Have they been around since Iroh and Ozai were young? Did they take care of Azula while she was with Ozai? Were they the ones who healed Zuko after he was burned? Did they also take care of Ursa?

(In case anyone is curious it is canon because Azula says “I’d really rather our family physician look after little Zuzu if you don’t mind”)

For @throwaninkpot, your podcast is the always excellent Alba Salix, Royal Physician! Alba Salix is a medical witch to the royals with too much to do and not enough time or patience to deal with...patients. She has a dumbass teen assistant who really wants to do surgery and a flighty fairie assistant who is...enthusiastic. It's light and good and I want it to come back desperately because season two left me on a cliffhanger, how could they do this.

Send me a number between 1-273 and I'll rec an audio drama!
