Rehabilitate the Villainess - Rehabilitate the Villainess chapter 78

78 – Misunderstanding

Inside the huge cathedral. Thousands of believers are seen worshiping with their hands together. There were also outsiders who were not believers.

It was the same for me and Shael. It was thanks to a believer guiding us while enjoying the hugs.

“I’m bored.”

If it was Shael, she would have been. Because she had been praying for over half an hour already.

Considering the previous Blessing Meetings, we should probably spend a much longer time here.

Still, I can’t help it. Countless believers are gathered and engrossed in prayer, but they won’t be able to leave their seats all of a sudden.

He said it as if he were helping Shael.

“For now, focus on prayer.”

“⋯.”

Then he closed his eyes and devoted himself to prayer. If he lost someone to talk to, Sael would have no choice but to do the same.

After some time passed, she checked on Shael with her narrowed eyes open.

“⋯.”

Shael is looking at me from a very close distance. I don’t pray at the Holy Kingdom Blessing Meeting, but I’m appreciating the way I pray.

I was almost startled, but I managed to hold it in. It wasn’t long before I could see Shael putting her hands together.

Finally, Shael made up his mind to devote himself to prayer.

I couldn’t help but laugh. Less than a minute later, Shael’s eyebrows started to quiver.

It was a signal that Sael had reached his limit.

I also came to the limit of Sael’s appearance.

In the cathedral where everyone else was praying, I hugged Shael.

* * *

Accommodation provided by Seongguk. We were spending time in such an inn.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a very secure accommodation.

In order to keep Shael safe from the start, she brought a lot of magic tools from the Azbel family.

So she decided she could leave Sael alone. It would be best for her to stick around, but ⋯⋯.

Because the target I had to meet was the Master of the Magic Tower.

“Shael, I’m going to buy some ingredients for dessert.”

“Together…”

“I will be back as quickly as possible. Aren’t you hungry? If you go alone, it won’t take long.”

Still, Shael frowned and looked suspicious of me.

Fortunately, there was one more excuse to convince Sael.

“The ring of control is also on. There will never be a situation where the things you are worried about will happen.”

“⋯⋯Ah, I see.”

Shael nodded her head. The Ring of Control, which she thought would only be a disadvantage, helps to reassure Shael.

I let out a sigh of relief and left the dorm alone. At the same time, I started running as far as I could.

A huge cathedral. Like the cathedral where the Blessing is held, the size is enormous. It won’t be easy to find the Master of the Magic Tower. So, I grabbed one of the believers and started talking to them.

It was to find the owner of the Magic Tower. At first it was a joke, but soon I was able to find out the whereabouts of the owner of the mage tower.

“Is the Master of the Magic Tower here by any chance?”

“⋯⋯ Master of the Magic Tower? Perhaps she is in the reception room. See that big door over there?”

Fortunately, thanks to the duke’s attire, she was able to find out the whereabouts of the mage’s master without much suspicion.

‘Is this here?’

It was when I approached the door the believer pointed to, not stopping my tension.

Thump!

The Master of the Magic Tower opened the door fiercely and came out. The mage lord who gritted his teeth. It was an angry expression.

And the only thing the Mage Tower Master would be so angry about was related to Clie.

The Magic Tower Lord confirmed me before I knew it. He rushed over to me.

“⋯⋯ Eran Baslett.”

“Nice to meet you. Aren Jagers.”

To say that the owner of the tower is speaking inappropriately to the son of the duke, and the son of the duke is using honorific words to the owner of the tower.

It was a funny situation, but you shouldn’t bother the Mage’s lord. Therefore, he did not show any discomfort at the rude behavior of the Master of the Magic Tower.

Surely, I thought that the Tower Master would be rude and harass me.

However, the Mage Tower Master spoke to me in a modest manner.

“The Baslet family of the famous swordsman. If so, there would be nothing strange about having the panacea as an heirloom.”

“It’s a panacea.”

There is nothing like that on Barslett Street. In the first place, the Baslett family was so poor that they had few heirlooms.

“Of course not. Can you tell me what you’re getting into?”

Far from getting angry at my question, I was sure of the mage lord making a sad face. I put that confidence into my mouth and told the owner of the mage tower.

“It must have something to do with the woman you used to hang out with.”

“⋯⋯You.”

The magic tower master frowns as soon as he puts a word suggesting Clie in his mouth. He said before becoming more irritable.

“Maybe this is a situation where I can come in handy.”

“⋯.”

“I don’t have any strange ideas. Even if I become acquainted with the Magic Tower, it will benefit me.”

Speaks plainly, as if the Mage Tower had something to wish for. The reason I was interested was to show that Clie was not.

He was the master of the Mage Tower who could do anything related to Clie. And the magic tower lord is in a situation where he is asking for help for Clie.

So at this time, the magic tower was Eul, and I was A.

The Master of the Magic Tower, frowning and thinking, finally opened his mouth.

“There is a disease that Clie suffers from. It is an incurable disease that cannot be cured no matter how hard you try.”

As if he was suffering from an illness, the Mage Tower Master, who put his sadness on his face, continued.

“I was taking medicine and increasing my time even a little bit. But….”

“⋯.”

“You seem to have been neglecting your medications lately.”

I will. After obtaining the bracelet of holy power, he must have taken medicine roughly.

Even if you got the medicine through me, you wouldn’t have taken the right amount.

“In addition, recently I was bitten and injured by a strange beast. So the symptoms of the disease got worse and worse.”

This was unexpected. Clie’s illness seems to have gotten worse than expected. For now, I shook off my thoughts and focused on the words of the mage master.

“⋯⋯Sooner or later the time will come when you will suffer from a high fever.”

The words were not directed at me, but the mage’s master’s words.

High fever, the last symptom of blood clotting disease, is coming soon.

In that case, even after the upcoming Imperial Festival was over, they could hold on for a few more days.

It meant that you should never relax. From the beginning, it was an implausible romance fantasy novel.

It wouldn’t be strange at all if there was another panacea other than earrings. If it was Clie, of course he would know the information about the panacea.

Anyway, I was able to get a lot of information.

“What Clie suffers from is a blood clotting disease. By any chance, if the Barsletts have any information about the disease, pass it on.”

“Okay. If we find anything that can help, we will send someone.”

I nodded and answered the words of the Mage Tower Master, which was almost an order. Now it was my turn to go to Shael.

* * *

It was when I entered the dorm with Eran. She seemed to be unable to shake off her thoughts from a while ago, but Ran opened her mouth.

“Shael, I’m going to buy some ingredients for dessert.”

Of course, Shael suggested that we go out together at Eran’s words.

However, Eran made all kinds of excuses and left the dormitory without fail.

She tried to suggest that Shael go with her.

‘It looks suspicious.’

Eran wears the Ring of Control. For that reason, she wouldn’t be able to talk to the opposite sex.

Even so, Shael couldn’t erase her anxiety.

Eran’s actions seemed urgent.

So it was obvious that Shael would follow Eran. The obvious thing that anyone would expect.

Shael focused his eyes on Eran, who was running fast.

Eran’s steps are too fast to go buy ingredients for dessert.

It’s good that you came out to watch Eran. Shael was so sure.

No matter how urgent it was, Eran sped her up to the point that Shael couldn’t keep up.

I lost Eran in the middle because of that, but…

-‘What the hell are you trying to do with tracking magic?’

In the past, in the Pleorin Territory where the fireworks festival was held, Eran’s necklace had been cast a tracking spell.

Thanks to her, she was able to go after Eran.

Then what I saw was the owner of the mage tower having a conversation with Eran.

Shael eavesdropped on their conversation, somehow raising his senses using magic.

First I heard Eran’s words.

“Is it related to the woman you usually hang out with?”

A woman? If she is a woman who goes with the magic tower lord, then ⋯⋯.

I also knew Sael well. She was a woman named Clea.

Next, Shael focused on the words of the Master of the Magic Tower.

“There is a disease that Clie suffers from.”

At the same time, Eran’s serious face caught Shael’s eyes. At the words of the Magic Tower Master, Eran frowned even more.

It looked as if he was in deep anguish. Cleera seems to be worried about her lady.

“⋯.”

Come to think of it, before Eran came to the Blessing Meeting, she tried her best to remove the Ring of Control.

A ring of control that allows you to converse with the opposite sex.

A feeling of uneasiness surrounds Shael’s head.

But recently, Shael and Eran have been living a fresh life. It was a happy daily life that other lovers would envy.

By the way…

Eran kept a strange distance from Shael. She had been like that since Shael was sleeping.

Despite giving him a huge chance, Eran refused to kiss Shael. Actually, that was Eran’s heart to respect her Shael, but ⋯⋯.

There was no way that Shael, who was ignorant of her relationship, knew that.

Above all, Eran has always had many secrets. From Cleera’s secret contact with her woman to Cleera’s woman following Eran and Shael.

Every time that happened, Eran didn’t give Shael an accurate explanation.

Ran did draw her sword on the woman. But Shael knew it well. That it was something he did while watching Shael’s eyes.

“⋯⋯ Probably not.”

Unbeknownst to Sael himself, he was talking to himself like an idiot. She was holding the corners of her mouth tightly as she tried to go down.

She listened closely to the conversation so as not to miss it. Then, the words of the Master of the Magic Tower.

“What Clie suffers from is blood clotting disease.”

Douong.

It was the sound of the cross he bought at the souvenir shop in the Holy Kingdom falling out of Sael’s pocket.

A cross that says if you make a wish every day, it will come true.

It was also the cross that I wished to spend time with Eran forever.

When the clear sound of the cross resounded. It was then that a memory popped into Shael’s mind.

There is a medicine Ran cherished in her magic pouch. Fortunately, Eran did not contract the disease.

Because of that, she even misunderstood that Eran was her terminally ill.

“⋯.”

At any rate, Eran was dubious about why she was carrying her medicine.

Still, Shael was thrilled that Eran was able to live and ignored the reason why he had been carrying her medicine.

And the medicine that Eran kept in his magic pouch…

It was a medicine for blood clotting disease.
