Capitulo 65

Episode 65

Behind the man’s shoulder, Aster blocked the wolf’s legs with one arm and slashed the body with a knife.

I reflexively pushed the person holding me back.

When I realized who the opponent was, I got goose bumps.

G, thank you for your help. Grand Duke.

My voice trembled softly. I rolled my eyes and ducked.

Fortunately, Andrew reluctantly stepped back.

I never imagined it would be like this. My body trembled with surprise.

Fio, who was in my arms, looked up as if she was fine, but her mind was dizzy.

Are you okay, princess?

I was awakened by Aster’s voice.

He was looking at Andrew with cold eyes. Eyes that were about to kill him.

I stepped in between the two of them and ventilated the atmosphere.

I am fine. Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty.

Because he blocked the beast’s claws with his arm, his shirt was stained with blood.

Oh my God! Are you okay?

It doesn’t matter.

He said without looking away from the Archduke.

People flocked to me as I hesitated to even touch them.

Karina!

Hey!

My mother and father ran and surrounded me.

Are you hurt anywhere?

With tears in his eyes, my father looked at me.

His face looked like he was about to cry.

I’m fine.

You always say it’s okay, call the doctor!

My mother trembled and went to get a doctor.

My father stayed and made sure there were no injuries here and there.

I looked up and looked for Aster. The doctors were already running around and looking at his arm.

In an instant, the knights and people came pouring in and it became noisy.

Meanwhile, Andrew was staring at me.

«Why are you doing that?»

The sticky, dirty emotions were etched in his dark colored eyes.

It was heavy and uncomfortable.

I’m tired and want to rest.

Ahhh. Come on, let’s go inside.

I hugged Fio and left as if I was running away.

* * *

Miss!

When we got to the camp, Lily, with tears in her big eyes, ran crying.

She couldn’t bear to touch me, looked around and began to cry profusely.

Hey, what’s this, where did she come from to be so hurt?

Lily, crying as if she was upset, looked at Fio, who was calmly in my arms.

What is this perverted dog?

Ah. Call him Fio Isn’t he cute? I met him while wandering in the forest. We’ll be together for a while.

I was thinking about how to explain it, but I looked around.

Fio didn’t help much, but he was cute anyway.

Excuse me.

Allison came in.

When she saw my face, she stroked her chest as if relieved.

I’m glad you’re safe, princess.

And she dismissed everyone around her except my mother.

I’ll take this guy too. If you’re going to raise him, he needs to wash him a bit.

As if surprised by Lily’s words, Fio hid behind me.

However, as if he knew him, he grabbed the puppy’s collar and came out.

There was a whimpering sound, but he always left it to Lily, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Come over here and lie down. I’ll have to check the wounds on his back first.

I took off my shirt at the stinging look on my mother’s face. There was blood oozing over the carefully wrapped bandages.

Allison slowly removed the bandages and examined the wound.

Fortunately, it wasn’t much.

Will it leave a scar?

My mother asked, watching from the side.

Allison nodded, disinfecting and medicating.

If she continues to apply the medication and comes in occasionally for scar treatment, she’ll be fine.

Scar treatment? Is there something like that?

It was the first treatment I had heard of.

It’s a treatment I developed.

My mother’s eyes sparkled at the strange treatment, and she asked Allison about things.

Combining medicine and magic.

In response to my mother’s reaction, Allison also began to seek advice about where she was blocked.

Suddenly , it became a place for academic discussion between the two of them, not my own treatment.

Mmm.

Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve never seen such a nice wizard.

Allison blushed and mumbled as she spoke passionately.

It was a face that was still full of remorse from the investigation.

I asked without missing the opportunity.

I can help Allison, Robert and Professor Eric work together.

All of us… Us?

Professor Eric has already accepted my offer. Mr. Robert… He is still thinking about it, but I will try to convince him eventually.

Allison reacted strongly just at Robert’s name.

For some reason, I thought the two of them wouldn’t be just ordinary people.

Is there a problem?

Allison said with an unfamiliar smile.

With me, Robert would never work.

* * *

Allison took the medicine and set a date to go in for scar treatment.

Can I do this? The Grand Duchess will not be pleased.

While she was away, the Archduke said he would provide everything she needed. So don’t worry.

Allison’s words reminded me of Andrew, who hugged me earlier.

I felt a strange sensation for some reason.

However, the opportunity to see Allison again was rare.

So, can you take a look at Her Majesty’s wounds?

Of course. Could His Majesty find out when it’s time?

I will call you separately.

When I sent Allison back, my mother turned around and approached me.

Why do you always do things? Do you know how surprised we were?

I’m sorry.

Don’t apologize, because this was an accident.

No. This isn’t an accident, it’s Raymond’s.

What? That’s really it. Tatiana was there and Raymond was late.

I don’t know what method he used, but it was Raymond’s magic. And with the magic of mental manipulation, my body moved into the river at will.

If it’s mental manipulation… Raymond’s magic is correct. Wait a moment.

My mother came over and checked the traces of magic left on my body.

After all, the forest has absorbed it, so there are no traces left. I mean, he really puts his head into weird things.

My mother, who was grinding her teeth with an angry expression, looked at my bracelet.

It’s probably not going to happen. Give me that bracelet.

My mother looked carefully at the bracelet.

Just in case it did, there’s magic left in the bracelet.

Really?

Because it’s not easy to get rid of all the magic in the artificial devices. With this, I can formally protest to the tower and knock it down from the position of the next tower master.

Wait.

Huh?

There are things I want to do besides that.

I just couldn’t pass up this opportunity.

Because there is something else I want

After hearing my story, my mother pondered for a moment and then nodded.

It’s not the way. Let me do it if you want to.

My mother handed back the bracelet that had extracted the magic power as evidence and stood up.

I’m going to have to tell your father to come up with some countermeasures.

Then she walked busily out of the store.

Aster came to mind only after the commotion was over. He must have really hurt himself.

It was Aster who saved me, but Andrew acted wrong as if he had saved me.

Besides, Aster didn’t like it when he saw that scene.

The cold look in Andrew’s eyes remained in my mind.

I got out and walked to where Aster was.

When I arrived near the barracks downtown, I could see the doctors busy coming and going.

I was worried that he might have been seriously injured.

I immediately approached the gentleman guarding the barracks.

Tell His Majesty that Princess Pioneer has arrived.

The knight bowed and entered.

Not long after, the doctor came out with the message.

Welcome. Princess.

How is your majesty?

The wound is a bit deep and will hurt a lot. There are no painkillers for now, so it would be better to use a strong medicine and come in a little later.

At the doctor’s words, I immediately hardened my face.

Using an inhaled painkiller with the fastest absorption meant the pain was intense.

I have to go in.

…

I resisted the doctor’s advice and went in.

It was my fault, but I didn’t want to waste time waiting outside like this.

It was dark inside with only a few candles burning. Also, it was smoky and smelled of bitter herbs.

Your Majesty?

Aster, who was lying on the long horizontal couch, stood up and looked at me.

The half drooped eyes lifted slightly and, through the haze of smoke, shone eyes like those of a beast.
