From the Princess’s Perspective
My magic suddenly grew stronger.
It destroyed the last remaining arm of the Thousand Curses.
I was able to defeat that thing… thanks in part to Cain.
But….
“Cain!”
I couldn’t help but shout his name.
His battle just now was incredible.
Hardly anyone can use that magic.
He activated it with such ease and destroyed 998 of Senjukan’s arms.
And even while taking attacks that would have been fatal to us, he destroyed one more arm.
Now, he remained silent, unresponsive to our calls, and didn’t move.
“Your Highness! Step aside!”
The Holy Maiden came to my side and immediately began casting holy-attribute healing magic continuously.
“H-hey, wait a minute?”
Despite the wounds healing before our very eyes, the Holy Maiden began to panic.
“What is this… w-why…”
Even though the wounds were almost completely healed, she was still muttering to herself.
“W-what’s wrong?”
The answer to my question was cruel.
“Inside… inside… it’s all torn up.”
“Inside?”
“I don’t know either! It’s just… I’ve never seen anything like this before…”
“S-so what does that mean…”
“F-five senses… are… blocked…”
“Huh?”
I blurted that out without thinking.
His senses… blocked?
That can’t be possible…
I mean, he was fighting just fine a moment ago. Is it an aftereffect of the magic?
B-but…
“Let’s hurry to the upper levels for now.”
Thanks to the knight’s apprentice who had been listening from behind and spoke up, we were able to retreat.
We left the dungeon and laid him down on a bed at the inn.
Because I’d had his title stripped, there were hardly any people willing to put him up, let alone a doctor who would even look at him properly.
Standing by his bed, I was thinking the worst.
Maybe… that personal maid didn’t come to help after all…
She really cornered him—someone capable of using that magic.
At least, none of the maids I know could ever do something like that.
If that’s the case… then that maid… is someone who’s undergone special training?
For example… to assassinate someone from the royal family…
Plus, he helped us this time…
It’s just… just way too convenient.
If, if he were going to kill me or the Saintess… that moment just now would’ve been the perfect time, but instead of killing us, he saved us.
So… he really is…
Thinking that far, I ended up clutching my head in despair.
I just don’t get it anymore… What should I do…
Hurry up… Hurry up and wake up.
*From the Holy Maiden’s perspective
He… is sleeping in bed right now.
Maybe… we’ve done something truly terrible.
First, his battle.
His Holy-attribute magic was astonishingly skilled—and clearly a high-level technique—anyone could see that.
That brought me closer to a certain theory I’d been forming.
Could it be… that he… he was the one who saved me?
After all… after all… the remnants of positive-attribute magic are just too similar…
And if he’s that skilled, couldn’t he have killed me outright, or even taken over the kingdom?
Furthermore… he protected us. It was… it was almost too perfect a timing… as if he had been watching over us all along.
If… if this theory is correct… I… I can’t possibly do such a thing to my savior…
…All I can do now… is offer a prayer……..
