Chapter 78. I Healed Too Well (1)

 

Eden Isles.

 

The Grand Duke’s face was the very embodiment of ferocity.

 

How dare anyone treat whom?

 

‘No one has ever been able to heal my daughter.’

 

Hadn’t the Hero given that very verdict from the beginning?

 

Yes, when his daughter’s class was decided—

 

When he went to grab the Hero by the collar, shouting ‘You sociopathic bastard!’ for putting a child who could barely use her legs into the combat class.

 

Honestly, he had let it slide when they put his daughter in Goldmoon, the same dormitory as the Imperial Princess. He thought it could be a mistake due to tradition.

 

But.

 

“Elaine Saint! Why did you put my daughter in the magic class instead of the healing class!”

 

“Leave the healing to Haven’s professors. Even if your daughter enters the healing class, there’s nothing she can do.”

 

“Leave it to Haven professors? You mean the healing that involved cutting off my daughter’s limbs?!”

 

“Yes. Haven has excellent experience in limb amputation and superior prosthetic technology.”

 

This crazy bastard…! I sent her to a place with the finest talents and even provided sponsorship, and this is the answer I get back?!

 

But the Grand Duke knew well that the Hero wasn’t entirely wrong. The Princess’s condition was that hopeless.

 

His heart was torn each time scars increased from wrong treatments, but what was even more painful was seeing his daughter’s back as she secretly wept while smiling on the outside.

 

‘And now they’re doing that again…!’

 

That’s when he saw students around the Healing Arts classroom. They were all cursing Ruins.

 

“Ruins, that devil of a professor! Is he in his right mind?”

 

“I knew that professor would cause trouble from the start!”

 

At the sound of the students’ conversation, the professors who had just arrived felt their hearts sink.

 

‘Don’t tell me Ruins caused an incident?’

 

They had harbored some hope due to recent events, but perhaps it was too much to expect. Even the Principal rarely felt his heart sink like this.

 

He could feel the veins bulging on the Grand Duke’s face. The professors also let out sighs of disappointment first.

 

That alone was bad enough, but then that characteristically insolent voice was heard.

 

“Did the professors come out for a field trip? Why are they camping in front of my classroom?”

 

It was Ruins Wayne. The well-dressed gentleman had his arms crossed with a displeased expression.

 

At his appearance, the Grand Duke’s eyes turned menacing. Black hair and golden eyes, handsome but with such an insolent way of speaking that people said his looks were wasted on him.

 

Is that him? The bastard who dared to lay hands on another man’s daughter!

 

Bang!

 

“G-Grand Duke!”

 

Screams from professors and students echoed. He had grabbed Ruins by the collar and slammed him against the wall. Even someone as tall as Ruins was lifted into the air like a child.

 

“You pale bastard who doesn’t even look like he could act like a man.”

 

Ruins, grabbed by the collar, looked up at the ceiling as if tired.

 

I’ve heard of people being called bewitching, but this is the first time I’ve been told I can’t act like a man. Ah, second time. My master said that too.

 

‘Anyway, why is ‘Eden Isles’, Pride’s important intelligence target, here?’

 

No, I can guess why he’s here given the situation—

 

The problem is that I’m about to die right now.

 

The Grand Duke was Union’s special-class hero and a Sword Master. True to his nickname as the Iron-Blooded Leader, the magic power he was emitting seemed like it would tear Ruins to shreds.

 

Saint has ‘Destruction’.

 

Gloucester has ‘Defense’.

 

And befitting the Isles family, one of the eight great houses with the power of ‘Command’, the Grand Duke’s ability was as follows.

 

【Unavoidable 】

 

There were ‘Full Bloom’ abilities that awakened when one became a special-class hero. In the Grand Duke’s case, it was the unavoidable ability that ‘absolutely prevented opponents from escaping’. In other words, even Fire Butterfly couldn’t run away.

 

In fact, all the demons who fell into his hands were beaten half to death. Honestly, it was dangerous.

 

But then.

 

Creak!

 

The door to the Healing Arts classroom next to them opened.

 

“Ah, isn’t Ruins really going too far!”

 

“Right! To perform such a miracle and then tell us to analyze it!”

 

“Even the Pope couldn’t use such techniques!”

 

“I didn’t know the Princess was that pretty, damn it!”

 

…Huh? Pretty? Who?

 

Everyone was looking at the students coming out in confusion when.

 

“Father?”

 

“!”

 

At the unexpected voice, both the Grand Duke and professors were startled. Though there was still a slight metallic quality remaining, it was definitely a voice like jade beads.

 

“Judith?”

 

The Grand Duke looked bewildered at the student coming out of the classroom. With flowing black silk-like hair and wearing Haven’s uniform, it was definitely his daughter approaching.

 

But her face was different. Plain among the plain. That had been the nickname describing the Princess, but now…

 

“Could that be the Princess?”

 

Even the arrogant professors who always compared her to the Imperial Princess couldn’t close their mouths.

 

“N-no way, h-how can that face…!”

 

That face… could there be such a beauty in existence!

 

…Wait. That means it’s really been healed! Something that no one on the continent could cure!

 

No, that’s not what’s important.

 

‘The person who healed that couldn’t possibly be…’

 

It was then that the professors’ heads turned somewhere.

 

“Now that you’ve confirmed your daughter, please let him go.”

 

“!”

 

When Ruin spoke coldly, the strength left the Grand Duke’s hands. His face showed he had no idea what was going on.

 

“Judith, is it really you?”

 

The Grand Duke, who had dropped Ruins as if throwing him, approached his daughter. He had good reason to be surprised.

 

‘She must have the exact same face as the Duchess.’

 

But Ruin smiled as if everything was going according to plan while watching the surprised Grand Duke.

 

‘Good. The Grand Duke has confirmed it.’

 

Now, dear parent! Please give me a bribe!

 

The professors couldn’t close their mouths.

 

Good heavens, what was happening? Had Ruins really cured an incurable disease? But would the Grand Duke really tolerate him treating his daughter without permission?

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Professor Ruins!”

 

“!”

 

Ruin’s brow furrowed.

 

…Wait, this voice?

 

‘The Hero?’

 

“I heard the news and came. That you were treating the Princess… Huh?”

 

When Ruin’s face hardened, the Hero discovered the Grand Duke and became extremely wary. More precisely, seeing the now-healthy Judith and the Grand Duke, his face showed he’d instantly grasped the situation.

 

Sure enough.

 

“Ah, wait a moment. Grand Duke? You can’t touch the Head Professor’s hands-”

 

And at that moment, the Grand Duke with a twisted expression grabbed Ruins.

 

‘Huh?’

 

And then he just dragged him away… What? Why?!

 

* * *

 

How did it come to this.

 

Campus Counseling Room. Ruin glanced toward the door with a somewhat bewildered expression. From beyond the door came the sound of knocking.

 

“Grand Duke? Please open this door! Professor Ruins is off-limits! Grand Duke! You can’t touch the Professor’s hands!”

 

It was the Hero’s urgent voice.

 

However, the Grand Duke completely ignored him and just stared intently at Ruin. Under that menacing gaze that had continued for 10 minutes now, Ruin furrowed his brow.

 

‘Why is he staring at me so frighteningly?’

 

Strange. He had clearly succeeded in treating his daughter’s face. Had his plan gone wrong? This definitely wasn’t the face of someone trying to thank him for his daughter.

 

Come to think of it, last time too, his son had shown disgust when talking about his father. Was he angry that he’d touched his daughter without permission? Would his hands be cut off for treating her without authorization?

 

‘But the results weren’t bad. Why on earth?’

 

Around that time, the Grand Duke pulled out an iron case from his chest.

 

“Care for a smoke?”

 

When he offered the Mana Cigarettes, Ruin immediately declined.

 

“As an educator, I make it a policy not to smoke.”

 

Obviously a lie. As a spy, he simply didn’t do anything that would leave a particular scent.

 

Then, as if this was unexpected, the Grand Duke who had put the Mana Cigarettes to his mouth looked at Ruin.

 

“You probably want to ask why I interfered with the Chairman and brought you here.”

 

No. I’m actually tearfully grateful for that.

 

“I rather dislike the Chairman.”

 

What a coincidence. I dislike him too.

 

Ruin felt as if thorns were sprouting from his buttocks.

 

Why?

 

‘Now that I see him in person, I understand. He’s not someone to shake hands with.’

 

He was disgustingly strong. It was like having another Hero around.

 

In other words, joining hands with this man to drive away the Hero? That would be like adding another boil while trying to remove one. Simply put, he was someone who shouldn’t be confronted.

 

‘I should just be satisfied with a reward.’

 

Of course, the Intelligence Agency and the Demon Emperor would love this situation. The Grand Duke was an important intelligence target when dealing with the Union.

 

Actually, the Fire Butterfly mission that came down this time was related to this human.

 

-To the Butterfly of Destruction.

 

The Union Imperial Family is trying to finalize the succession structure. Accordingly, the political situation within the Empire will undergo drastic changes, and Pride’s interests will also be reorganized.

 

The movements of key figures have been secured, but the movements of Duke Isles, who is an important target of the Union, are suspicious. Approach him. Don’t just observe his exterior, but understand his true purpose. If necessary, you may employ means beyond mere contact.

 

You may employ any means necessary. That sounds nice, but the problem is that no matter what it is, the one who has to execute the job is me, a lowly operative.

 

When I received the mission, I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult, but scratch that. Do they even know that a national power-level Sword Master is just a kid’s name?

 

Moreover, the Grand Duke’s temperament is no joke either, as the Hero has been frantically knocking on the door since earlier, saying he can’t lay a hand on me.

 

‘Well, I have no intention of giving him my hand anyway.’

 

Look. Even now, he’s staring only at me with frightening intensity.

 

A spy’s long experience told me.

 

‘That’s the gaze of observation.’

 

Eyes contemplating whether to kill or spare the bastard who arbitrarily cured his daughter’s illness. No, suspecting that I’m from the Demon Race…

 

“You there. Have you ever thought about becoming my son-in-law?”

 

“….”

 

…Excuse me?
