The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 77

#77. Regrets that go back (9)
“Don’t worry.”
“How can you not worry!”
A scream, muffled with effort, reached Justinas. His gorgeous face was distorted.
Most people who saw the princess’s anger would lie flat on the floor and tremble.
Even if you leave aside her status as a princess, Liliana had a big difference between when she was angry and when she was smiling. Her facial features were refreshing and gorgeous, but when she frowned, she looked vicious, enough to make anyone with a weak heart shrink in an instant.
Justinas, who heard Liliana’s scream from the front, did not even blink an eye. Even though he could not see in front of him, he could read the anger and worry mixed in her voice.
“I wish my body hadn’t been hurt. This time, I just couldn’t help it.”
Instead, it is so peaceful that it almost makes your heart burst.
“What can’t be helped?”
“As Liliana knows, Aether’s miracles are not free.”
Justinas explained, showing his blackened fingertips.
“The price is higher when you treat people who live far away for such a long time. You have to accept that your body will get hurt a little.”
“what.”
Liliana was speechless.
God’s miracles are not free. Every time Justinas performs a miracle, he pays the price with his own body.
She was the only one in the party who knew the secret.
After finding out, I thought how absurd it was. This woman was so kind that she kept the dark side of miracles completely hidden from the public and only prayed for God’s blessings.
But this time, they crossed the line.
“Are you out of your mind? No one else can cure the Black Death. And if you get it, you… The Black Death is incurable…!”
Liliana, furious, grabbed Justinas’ shoulder and snapped.
I already knew very well that she did not spare my life.
But when I thought that she might die, my eyes suddenly went dark and my heart sank. It was the same feeling I had when my mother was facing death.
“Shh, Liliana. Calm down.”
“How can I calm down!”
“You won’t die from this.”
Don’t die.
At those words, Liliana’s actions paused for a moment.
It was to find out whether he really didn’t die, or whether he just ‘didn’t’ die.
Justinas took advantage of the gap to continue speaking with a calm expression.
“My body, as a saint, is basically immune to infectious diseases. I may experience symptoms for a while as a price for the miracle, but if I leave it alone, it will eventually heal naturally.”
“……ah.”
The hand on my shoulder fell away.
However, the distorted expression was still there, just a little less than before.
“But doesn’t that mean you’ll eventually experience the symptoms? They say it’s extremely painful to get the Black Death.”
“Even that is something to be thankful for.”
Justinas smiled faintly.
“If the suffering of one person can save the lives of countless others, what a merciful exchange that would be.”
It’s the same thing as last time.
The more I heard it, the more overwhelming it became.
Liliana bit her lip.
Noble.
I never imagined that I would ever have to make such an assessment of someone else, but I had no other words to say.
“Then shall we move on to the next section? We have to get through it all today, ah.”
Justinas, who had been moving with a cane, suddenly fell to his knees. Liliana, who was lost in thought, was late in reacting.
“Justinas!”
“Hmm. I guess it’ll be okay, but oh.”
“… … Excuse me for a moment.”
Liliana’s hand went to Justinas’s feet.
There was a slight hesitation before I grabbed the shoe. I had been treated like a baby all my life, but I had never thought of touching someone else’s shoe, not even my parents.
Even from an orphan background-
‘No, no.’
It doesn’t matter now.
Didn’t Justinus prove to himself that there are nobility in the world that transcends origins?
Liliana quickly took off Justinas’s shoes. Then she was shocked.
“under.”
Not only was the right leg severed from nerve damage, but even the left leg had completely turned black and was twisted.
It was a wonder how she had managed to walk until now. Her mother had not been able to leave her bed when she had the Black Death.
“Get up.”
“Just a moment, Liliana.”
“You’re not planning on walking any further on that bridge, are you?”
I thought I would get really angry if that happened.
“No, that’s not it.”
“then?”
Liliana crossed her arms in a crooked manner. This time, she seemed to be waiting to hear what he had to say.
“… Won’t Liliana be able to carry me?”
“What am I saying? I can carry you.”
“all right.”
Justinas surprisingly cooperated readily. I thought he would refuse, saying he didn’t want to be a bother.
‘No, come to think of it, I never refused help. That commoner always carried Justinas.’
In some ways, he could be a person whose head is completely filled with efficiency.
That was why, even though Liliana found Justinas frustrating, she never called him stupid.
Rather, Justinas is very smart. He just tries to use his smarts for good things.
… I don’t have the skills to handle this.
Liliana supported Justina’s outstretched hand and lifted him up lightly, “Huk.”
Couldn’t.
It was heavier than I thought. No, it wasn’t so much that Justinas was heavy as that Liliana was lacking in strength.
“Is this okay?”
“Okay, um, okay. It’s light as a feather. This is nothing.”
In fact, it was a natural thing.
In the first place, it is quite difficult for an adult woman to carry another adult woman. Even if they can walk for a short while, if you ask them to climb up and down stairs for an hour, most people will say, “Oh, that’s a bit much.”
Besides, Liliana is a noble princess. The only time she ever lifted anything heavier than a teacup was during the self-defense lessons she learned in fear of that scoundrel Diold ruining the country.
So Liliana used the only physical advantage she had for three hours.
It’s persistence.
“Thank you, Liliana. I think I checked with everyone on board.”
“Star, huh, not even that, gasp, gasp, woof, gasp, gasp, gasp gasp gasp gasp.”
“Um… …Should I walk now?”
“Ugh, gasp gasp, sound, gasp gasp. I, ugh, groan, yuck. Take me, huh.”
“I’m dying… … .”
Still, Liliana somehow managed to carry Justinas back to his room.
Justinas kept feeling sorry and didn’t know what to do, but Liliana thought it was ridiculous.
Why should you feel so bad about being carried by others when you endure all kinds of suffering to save people you have never met?
The more I think about her, the funnier she becomes.
“I’m sorry. I wish I could walk on my own.”
“Okay. You don’t have to be sorry-”
She’s a really funny woman. Funny… … .
Slap.
Liliana sat on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without even finishing her words or thoughts.

New liquid.
He must have been very tired because his breathing was rough. Occasionally, he could be heard snoring.
I’ve never been tired before, but I guess I was really tired.
Well, that’s true.
Because at the end, he was panting as if he was on his deathbed.
And yet, you’re just showing off for no reason. Really me.
As I look at Liliana with my arms crossed, my hands and feet also come into view.
The darkened area is slightly above the ankle, and up to the middle of the wrist and elbow.
Fortunately, the priest’s robes were long-sleeved, so there was no major problem. The problem with the fingers could also be solved by wearing gloves, so Cedric and Izumi wouldn’t notice.
It was thanks to Liliana’s hard work.
“… … .”
Our two beds are connected.
Thanks to that, I was able to just reach out and cover the unconscious Liliana with a blanket.
Sararak, swoosh.
Even the rustling vibration of the thick cotton blanket shows no sign of waking me up.
“Liliana. Are you asleep?”
If you ask again, it’s the same.
Looks like he’s really sleeping well.
At this point, it won’t break in the middle.
I looked at the ceiling.
“Liliana fell into a deep sleep.”
Then again todododo.
A fox emerges from a hole with a sound of footsteps. It looks quite cute as it falls from the ceiling.
Phong!
The guy soon transformed into a little boy.
This time, I really need to get some information. I was about to tempt him with a rather vicious mind.
“Please help me, priestess.”
Suddenly the little boy opened his mouth to speak.
