Chapter 76 - The Illness And It’s Treatment

"No... that's not the case prince...", she still hadn't calmed down.

"Then...?"

"I lied to you...", she immediately said that after thinking for a while.

"Lied...?", Rex was confused about what she was trying to say.

He didn't understand why she would lie and what was the lie about.

"What lie...?", he asked immediately since his curiousity had increased for a bit.

She immediately walked towards him and said, "I lied about his highness..."

"Father...? What did you lie about him?", he was still kept in the dark and want fully sure about what she wanted to say.

Even Bandis and Zor who were standing just behind him were always unaware of what she was saying.

"I lied the fact that his highness was level 35 when he was at the age of sixteen...", she immediately said that while having the same surprised expression from earlier.

"Huh...? You mean to say...", Rex paused since he wanted able to tell anything further.

She nodded her head and said, "I perfectly remember that time, he clearly told and had surprised all..."

"Then... What was his level...?", Rex gulped a large amount of saliva due to the enthusiasm and waited for her to tell.

"He was level 27 when he was sixteen years old... I was just trying to tease you by saying that he was level 35 so that you will be motivated to grow stronger... but it seems that I had really underestimated you."

"Huh!? Father was level 27?", he finally understood what he had done.

To outshine his father who was considered as a genius in his generation would attract all the attentions towards him which he didn't like.

He indeed wanted to be the strongest by cultivating or using different techniques but he was already almighty the moment he had born here.

That was what made his life boring because he did t want to be born with such a badass over powerful cheat. He just wanted some minor extra boost as in the Manga and comics so that he could pave his own path.

Finally he had sealed all his powers but even after doing that he was strong enough to defeat the great masters who had reached pinnacle of their strength.

"Uhhh... please don't tell anyone about this...", Rex immeditely said that.

"Eh? Why? Won't it benefit you!?", she was surprised even more.

She couldn't understand why Rex wanted to keep all this a secret and not inform in public.

"Well it will bring more evil and bad things than good ones, and I want everyone to grow stronger and not feel inferiority. But don't worry, when the time is right, I myself will inform everyone.", he said that with a smiling face upon seeing which Herla could hardly neglect.

"Fine... but have you gone to palace already!?", she asked immediately after Rex finished what he had to say.

"Huh... no, not yet.", he lowered his head and sighed while saying that.

"Then I guess you should hurry as soon as possible...", her expression too changed for some reason.

"Why? Did something happen in the palace?", he asked immediately with a worrisome expression.

She shook her head and said, "Nothing big, but her highness..."

"Mother...!? What happened to her!!!?", he almost instantly shouted with all his strength.

He seemed to be extremely panicked the moment he heard that.

"Tell me! What has happened to her!!?", he didn't knew what he has to ask. It seemed that the moment he heard that all the memories of his mother started to flash in front of his eyes.

"Well, it's better if she herself tells you that..."

"Uhhh!!! Just tell me already aunty!", he couldn't wait anymore. All the training that he had undergone about patience and calmness seemed to be useless to him right now.

"Is she ill? Or injured!?", his questions weren't ending and he kept on posing even more questions only to find her stay quiet.

"Instead if asking me all that, I suggest that you immediately head to the palace."

He could t bear to wait anymore as she said so he immediately rushed towards the carriage a bit ahead of which the Baron was waiting.

The Baron also started walking towards Rex whole Bandis and Zor were following him behind.

"Tsk, I don't have time to go in the carriage...", after saying that he used teleportation spell and immediately vanished from the sight.

"Master...?", Bandis and Zor were left there who decided to use teleportation spells too big they didn't exactly know where Rex had gone.

They just had a vague knowledge that he might have gone to see his mother to the castle but they couldn't teleport there since it might stir up troubles for Rex so they decided to follow him using a new carriage that was waiting there.

The Baron immediately hid himself when he saw Rex vanishing into thin air after the appearance of a yellow radiance. He had absolutely no idea about what was happening so he refrained himself from approaching them for the time being.

'ZZZDZD'

Rex immediately appeared in the inner palace exactly in Elina's room.

He looked carefully to find Elina sleeping on the bed.

"Mother...", he looked carefully at her.

"Huh!? What's this!?", he felt something weird in her body which was giving her immense trouble.

"For how long was she bearing with this pain!!!?", it seemed as if it was a condition of mana limiter and overflow.

It was not a fatal disease but the person suffering from that would be in immense pain until it was cured.

But there was no particular cure for that till now and the only occurrence of someone being cured was considered as miracle.

"Sigh, looks like her emotions were not in proper place while increasing her mana capacity..."

He immediately touches her head and started to radiate a red coloured radiance which was flowing all over her body.

Her attribute was water and ice which had covered her body.

In MANA LIMITER AND OVERFLOW disease, the mana is usually not reached where it has to.

From the parts which require mana it gets depleted due to which a limiter condition happens and the parts which usually don't requires mana, there would be excess amount of mana accumulated which would cause overflow condition.

Because of this imbalance it is usually difficult to treat the patient since none of the pills or medication would work on the person while he or she is in that state.

"Mother... be careful from next time.", he completely returned her body into normal state.

Earlier she was sweating a lot and it seemed that the fever was high too but immediately after Rex's radiance reaches her body, everything became normal.

"Sigh, it will be a bit difficult even now for a week, but after that it will be fine.", immediately after saying that he stood up to teleport back to the library when suddenly Elina opened her eyes.

Her eyes were too blurry so all she could see what some Red haired person standing there.

"Alex...?", was what she said.

"Eh!?", Rex noticed that she was awake so he immediately teleported away.

'ZZZDZ'

"Huh...? Now where is the carriage...?"

Herla who was looking outside saw Rex appearing out of nowhere.

"P-Prince!!?", she was completely surprised when she saw this.

"Uhh..." he immediately used a sleeping spell on her and she fell asleep.

"You will be sleeping for 5 hours straight.", he immediately arranged a comfy bed and made her sleep there.

Then he walked outside and locked the library until she wakes up after which it would automatically get unlocked.

"I guess Bandis and Zor will be on the way...", he teleported where they were and appeared in the carriage.

"Master!", Bandis caught Rex who appeared in the air out of nowhere.

"You can put me down Bandis...", he obeyed and then Rex went and sat next to him.

"For now let's go to an Inn, it's already late. We will go to the palace tomorrow..."

The wagon driver heard it and immediately went towards a good Inn which was quite famous.

"Sir, this is a good place. You will get a lot of tasty food and alcohol..."

Rex nodded his head and Bandis and Zor walked out too after Rex.

"Thanks...", he immediately tossed a gold coin to him which was ten times the worth of bringing them here.

"Thank you Master!!! If you ever need me, you can find me in the city square ahead!", immediately after saying that he bid farewell and left.

"Hmm, so we will stay here tonight..."

Bandis walked ahead and opened the door.

"Welcome!!!", a young girl who seemed to be around 15 years old welcomes them. Along with her there was another small demi-Human girl who was also around 15.

She seemed to be shy or rather stayed away from humans since all mistreated her.

But the fact that she was working here meant that the Inn people were good who allowed her to stay here since her eyes were still not dead yet.

"A table for 3...", Zor asked right away.

"Yes! This way please!!!"
