Chapter 629 Princess

The advisors let out a sigh of relief as Noctis led the Prince and his entourage out of the room, but tucked away in the shadows, an Intelligence Officer sent a single message off to the Minister.

[Sir, we have confirmation, the Princess is here as well. The reason for her attendance is unknown, but she is disguised as one of the Prince's attendants.]

[Keep an eye on them. I have heard the conversation, and he is definitely after something more than a polite conversation with the Noxus Patriarch.]

The small group made their first stop in the Butlers' quarters, where the male staff slept. Prince John was becoming more intrigued by the step, but when they opened the first door to one of the small dorm rooms, shared by two of the men that Noctis was certain were on duty right now, the Prince's eyes lit up with joy.

"Is that really a multi elemental array, cast on the bed of a common servant?" He laughed as if it were the funniest thing he had seen in his life.

"Indeed. They are all over the Palace now, and the rooms for overnighting Ministers as well as esteemed guests have been done to a higher standard." Advisor Noctis agreed.

"A higher standard? What more could be done to a simple bed?" The Prince asked.

"The version for Nobility has the option to adjust the temperature, as well as a self-cleaning feature, should your evening activities happen to soil the sheets too close to your preferred sleeping time to call for a servant." The disguised Princess blushed, but the servant girl beside her gave her a suggestive look and a gentle nudge with her elbow.

The advisor pretended not to notice as he led them down the corridor to a sitting room where Wolfe had enchanted the chairs, which were currently occupied by staff on break. They all jumped to their feet to greet the dignitaries, who would not normally be found in the staff break room, but the Prince waved them down.

lightsnοvεl "We are just passing through to see the good works of the Magi Patriarch." He explained.

"Oh, in that case, have you seen the beds he created yet, Your Highness? They are spectacular, so comfortable, and they don't get drafty at all, even in the lower levels." One of the cleaners asked.

"Yes, we had the chance to look into a dorm a moment ago. Tell me, are there many more areas like this?" Prince John asked.

"Have I told you how I met him yet? I haven't, have I? He walked into the pastry shop that I was in along with this little succubus dressed like someone's secretary, all professional like. He was such a casual flirt that she didn't even know what to do to counter him. I've never seen a succubus behave like that, it was as if he had brought an entirely different species of Demon with him and got her all flustered. I wonder if she's here today."

Rail's voice echoed up the stairs, as if answering his question. "Next. Let's keep things moving, you all have shifts to get back to."

The advisor led the Prince and his group up to the front of the line, where the staff parted to let them through, interrupting Rail's regular flow of people through the room.

"Prince John, it's a pleasure to see you again. Do you have someone in your party who has damage to their mana system that won't heal? If not, I hope that you don't mind if I work while we talk." Wolfe greeted the group.

Advisor Noctis took note as the disguised Princess stepped forward. "Indeed. I have suffered an attack that isn't healing properly. The Magi Clans in our nation said that only a Lord would have the mana control to repair the damage done, they tried but failed." Wolfe examined her mana system, then carefully turned her around to look at it from all different angles.

"How did you end up with Null Stone in your body?" He asked.

"Pardon?"

"The damage to your body is from Null Stone poisoning. It's radioactive, you see. Not only does it block mana usage, but it poisons the body. It isn't natural, so it shouldn't exist in the Demon Realms, someone must have brought it from my world, or one like it." Wolfe explained.

"Can you fix it? Our healers had never seen anything like it, and they couldn't fix me. Not even the higher rank Witches." She replied.

"That's because they didn't understand. You need to pull the pieces out, either physically, or with carefully crafted spells that won't collapse on contact, you can't just let a healing spell soak through because the effect will just move around the fragments."

Prince John smiled at Wolfe. "But you're familiar with it, aren't you? What will you ask to heal her?"

"I will do it free of charge, but it's a bit more complex than just the mana system. I will ask that the doors are sealed and the others leave. This isn't something for public viewing."noVe-1b/1n
