CH 98

“His Highness and Her Highness the Princess, Prince Curtance is calling for you.”

At 5 o’clock in the morning, I was woken up by Mai, the maid.

Gresis-sama was already awake because he does early morning training every day.

“I wonder what happened at this hour.”

While wondering with Gresis-sama, we were taken by the knight who came to pick us up, went through a corridor I had never walked in the castle, and was guided in front of a room I was visiting for the first time.

We got permission to enter the room from Prince Curtance and stepped into the room.

I felt that the room unified with soft and bright colors was not Prince Curtance’s private room.

“I’m sorry for calling you out so suddenly. There is someone I want the two of you to meet. Please come in.”

When Prince Curtance opened the door next to him, the room became a bedroom.

On the bed, a beautiful woman with long platinum hair and the same orange eyes as Prince Curtance was holding a wrap.

A baby is wrapped up in a wrap, and we can’t see it well.

“It’s my wife Samantha and Brennan, who was just born in the early morning.”

Introduced by Prince Curtance, Princess Samantha smiled fleetingly.

“His Highness Gresis, Her Highness Princess Lilith, please excuse me from greeting you from the bed. I heard that you collected medicinal herbs for me and my son. Thank you very much. As you can see, we are safe.”

When Princess Samantha said that, she burst into tears.

I didn’t know the reason for the tears, and when I looked at Prince Curtance, he seemed to be clenching his hand and enduring something.

You should be happy to have a child, what’s wrong?

“Cartance, I don’t know if you keep quiet. You must have called us because there was something. Don’t make your wife cry.”

His Highness Gresis said bluntly.

“Oh, that’s right, I’m sorry. Look at my son.”

Prince Curtance received the wrap from Princess Samantha and showed it to us.

The chick is small enough to hold in one hand.

Is he not feeling well? Or maybe he’s sleeping.

“This is . . . tough.”

Gresis-sama put his hand on his chin and got a serious expression.

“Is it tough?”

“Oh, beast people of every kind grow on breast milk. In the case of birds, they are usually born as half-animal, half-human state. However, this baby remains a beast, and his mouth is a beak, so he can’t drink breast milk well. At this rate, he’ll probably die.”

“As Gresis said, Brennan was born earlier than planned, so he had no physical strength and came out as a beast. Breast milk is given with a dropper, but rather than drinking, it’s a situation where you can’t give enough milk.”

Prince Curtance hugged his child tightly and said.

“Thanks to the collection of medicinal herbs, my wife’s condition was stable and he was born safely, but the doctor told me that he would die. How about Tenar’s secret treatment?”

Prince Curtance is looking at Gresis-sama like he is clinging to Gresis-sama.

“. . . I don’t know because there is no precedent. I can’t say I can help you, but let me check in the next room. At that time, the child can stay held by Curtance. Instead, I’ll have you cover your eyes and ears until I give you permission. Princess Samantha is also not allowed to enter the room. Is that okay?”

“Ah.”

I moved back to the first room I entered.

Prince Curtance sat on a chair with the baby in his hand and covered his eyes and ears.

Until now, I’ve used Healer for diseases, injuries, and pain.

The newborn baby just doesn’t have physical strength, but it’s not sick.

I don’t know if Healer will work.

“What do you think, Lilith?”

“I don’t know if I can use Healer. I’ll check it out.”

I gently touch the back of the chick with my fingers lying face down and closing my eyes.

I want to feel the power of something and live. I felt like I was being told that.

“I feel like I can do it, so I’ll try it.”

I stroked the chick slowly on the back with my fingers.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

While I was using Healer, Gresis-sama told Carlsen, who was waiting outside the door, to call Crane.

Twitch. . . The chicks moved.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

The power to heal every time you call out? I can see that it’s increasing.

It was a strange feeling that had never existed before, as if it was using the natural energy taken in.

I always know when to let go of my hand, but I want more natural energy. I felt like I was being told, and I didn’t feel like letting go of my hand.

When Gresis-sama brought Crane, dramatic changes were beginning to come to the chick.

It’s okay now. With that intuition, I let go of my hand and asked Gresis-sama to take the cloth that was covering Prince Curtance’s eyes and ears.

“What!?”

Prince Curtance was speechless at the sight of a baby twitching on the palm of his hand.

Human characteristics were beginning to appear in the chick.

We were also surprised by the change we saw for the first time.

“Samantha, look!”

Prince Curtance hurried to the bedroom, so Gresis-sama and I followed him and entered the bedroom.

“Huh? No way! What’s going on?”

Princess Samantha is also surprised by the change of her child, which was set on the palm of Prince Curtance.

In the scene of the baby changing from a beast to a human form, everyone forgot to say a word and just stared at it.

Before it became completely humanoid, the change stopped completely. When I thought. . .

“Fukyaa, Fugyaa.”

Suddenly, the baby started crying cheerfully.

“Oh, you’re hungry. Please wait. I’ll give it to you right away.”

Princess Samantha lovingly held Prince Curtance’s hand and their child, and smiled while crying.

The tears looked very beautiful and shining.

While Princess Samantha was breastfeeding, we moved to the next room with Prince Curtance.

“I can’t believe that what I wished to happen really happened in front of me. It’s a miracle. I really appreciate it.”

“Raise your head, Curtance. We are also surprised by this treatment. To be honest, it was unexpected that it would be that far. But that’s good.”

At Gresis-sama’s words, Crane and I also nodded excitedly.

“When he is finished drinking breast milk, let him see a doctor just in case.”

“That’s right, that’s a relief.”

When I was talking to Crane, it suddenly got dark.

“Lilith!”

Gresis-sama quickly supported my body.

“I’m sorry, I staggered a little.”

This time, we will divide the natural energy. Rather than that, the feeling of it being taken away was strong, so it seems that it was more exhausting than I thought.

“Crane, can I leave the rest to you? It seems that Lilith still has the fatigue of yesterday.”

“Please leave it to me. I will also take over talking to the royal palace doctor of the Hire Kingdom.”

“Curtance, we were supposed to go back home in the morning, but is it possible to change it to the afternoon? I want to give Lilith a rest.”

“That’s fine.”

When Prince Curtance saw me limp and tried to say something, Gresis-sama spoke to him without hesitation.

“Also, can you show me the greenhouse from now on? I want to understand the current situation in order to dispatch a person in charge of medicinal herbs.”

Gresis-sama is thinking that I can absorb natural energy. But Prince Curtance, who doesn’t know the circumstances, seems to have questioned the sudden offer.

“From now on?”

“I want to give Lilith a rest after the meal, and I’m busy preparing for returning home. I want to finish my business first.”

“I see, it doesn’t matter. Then, send Princess Lilith to your room.”

That’s a problem.

“I’m fine. I will be healed when I touch nature, so I want to go with you.”

It’s okay to be held by Gresis-sama. That said, it’s not convincing at all. However, if I miss the opportunity to touch the nature he made, I will not be able to recover.

“I want to listen to what Lilith wants. Curtance, please show me around.”

“It’s fine if the person herself says so.”

Prince Curtance looked worried, but he guided me to the greenhouse.

Compared to the Tenar Kingdom, the scale of the greenhouse was small, and I felt that there were many types of plants that were short.

I’m healed by an unfamiliar and cute flower.

I feel warm because the outside temperature is low, but I felt that the temperature of the room itself was not very high.

I’m sure it’s tailored to the plants that grow in the highlands.

While Prince Curtance and Gresis-sama were talking about medicinal herbs with the workers, I sat on a bench in the greenhouse and was thinking about Healer while absorbing natural energy.

Until now, Healer has helped the healing power. That was the understanding.

But this time, by healing the baby, I helped the power to want to live. I felt that the person who thought it would fall into that area.

I remember reading in books that we are all kept alive by a lot of nature.

I don’t know why I can feel natural energy. Maybe everyone is getting energy from nature, but they just don’t feel it.

When I was immersed in thinking, I was gently stroked on my cheek and I was surprised.

“It looks like your complexion is fine now.”

Before I knew it, Gresis-sama was sitting next to me.

“Yes. As you can see, I’m fine now.”

When I tried to stand up, Gresis-sama put his hand on my shoulder and stopped me from standing.

“It’s unnatural if you feel better too quickly.”

“I see, that’s also true.”

I’m sorry for Prince Curtance, but I want to avoid Healer being realized as much as possible.

“I’m done with my business, so let’s go back to our room.”

Gresis-sama picked me up again.

“Um. . . ”

“I know what you want to say. But you know, right?”

“. . . Yes.”

Pretending to be sick, right?

“So, where is Prince Curtance?”

I looked around.

“He’s not here, did he go back? Well, that’s good.”

I was completely deceived.

Even though he knows I’m fine now, Gresis-sama seems to want me to rest.

I felt sorry when I thought that I made him worry so much that he thought so.

“Then, I’ll be spoiled by you.”

I wanted to reassure him, so I put my arms around his neck and hugged him.

I felt that Gresis-sama’s throat made a noise.

I feel like Lilith’s healing power has leveled up.
