What excellent thinking. He’s truly like a prince from a fairy tale.

Indeed, in the original story, Felix was a wise and righteous prince who couldn’t tolerate injustice.

This was precisely why Idella fell in love with Felix, of all people.

“How admirable.”

“It’s only natural. Anyone who cannot do this much has no right to be a ruler.”

That’s exactly what makes you admirable.

There are far too many leaders in the world who fail to do just that.

“Ah, we’ve arrived.”

While exchanging various conversations with him, the carriage had come to a stop.

I unconsciously looked out the window and was startled.

“Is this Count Kali’s Estate?”

“That’s right. Magnificent, isn’t it?”

Even calling it magnificent seems insufficient.

After stepping down from the carriage, I clicked my tongue at the estate’s grandeur revealed even more clearly.

The building standing majestically in white, sand, and brown colors was so splendid. I’d believe it if someone said this was a desert nation’s royal palace.

“You have arrived, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

As I stood there blankly staring at the estate, someone approached and bowed their head to Felix.

When I belatedly turned my gaze in that direction, I was startled once again.

Standing alongside the Crown Prince with similar height, firm and smooth muscles revealed outside sleeveless clothing, blood-red hair swaying around the neck area, and intensely piercing sharp red eyes.

With a prominent mole at the corner of her mouth, she was radiating the aura of a warrior from her entire being.

“It seems you’ve accomplished your purpose.”

After exchanging light greetings with Felix, her gaze soon turned toward me.

If the system hadn’t been protecting me with a mental barrier, I might have suffered not just intimidation but even breathing difficulties.

Her gaze was that sharp and blade-like.

Seeing her aura like a general standing on a battlefield, I could tell immediately.

“Indeed. Most fortunately so. Ah, Holy Maiden. Please exchange greetings. This is Esranda Kali, Count.”

Right, this person is Count Kali.

“May the Sun’s radiance be with you. I am Ordel, Holy Maiden of the Sun God.”

When I offered a polite greeting, Kali, who had been staring intently at me, soon stepped closer.

How long had those red eyes resembling flames been quietly gazing at me?

Something surprising happened.

“I heard you treated the injured at the Fleu Family. Therefore, I too would like to make a request.”

Count Kali bowed her head very deeply to me.

“Please save my knights as well.”

A person who had never bowed her head to anyone except direct members of the royal family was making a request without hesitation for the sake of her knights.

Because she was this kind of person, because she was such an utterly admirable person, I truly loved this character when reading the novel.

Here too, she remains unchanged.

“Don’t worry. That’s why I came all this way.”

I took Count Kali’s hand and pulled it. When she naturally straightened her upper body and our eyes met, I smiled brightly.

Yes, I truly loved this character.

Her, who fought more fiercely than anyone else against the monsters surging from the desert, and ultimately died in battle at the end.

That’s why in this world, I wanted to protect her so she would never die.

* * *

The injured at Count Kali’s house were fewer in number than at the Fleu Family.

Though they fought at the front lines, it was thanks to the knights’ tremendous strength.

Of course, that didn’t mean the situation was reassuring enough.

“These are wounds from monsters.”

Here too, there was one person injured by a high-level monster.

I examined the injured person who had been isolated separately as a precaution.

Like the Captain of the Flu House Knights, this person also had black spots covering their body. Especially concentrated around the wound inflicted by the monster.

Different from Rute, whose spots were spread evenly throughout his body. I need to remember this difference well.

“The wound itself isn’t very deep. It’s not immediately life-threatening, but as time passes, it will worsen like that person yesterday.”

The novice priestess examining the injured person said.

“What should we do? Should we proceed with treatment first?”

When asked whether I would perform the healing directly, I gestured to him.

The novice priestess immediately stepped back, and I took his place, pulling out a potion from my pocket.

“Holy Maiden, that is…”

The novice priestess made a strange expression upon seeing the potion.

Understandably so, since unlike the sunset-colored potions I had been selling until now, this one had a much stronger yellow tint.

Like gold containing fire.

This was the new version potion containing 25% divine power blessing.

I carefully poured the potion into the injured person’s mouth.

How many minutes had passed while I focused on the wound and black spots?

Golden energy began to slowly spread throughout the patient’s body.

Whether this was only visible to my eyes, the other people showed no reaction.

And the moment the golden light touched the wound.

“Ugh!”

The injured person, who had been breathing with difficulty, let out a short groan.

Sizzle, sizzle.

A sound like flesh being seared echoed from the wound. However, no one panicked.

“The wound is healing.”

The novice priestess examining the injured person let out an overwhelming cry.

The thigh wound that had looked serious to anyone began healing at a visibly rapid pace.

And I was seeing something others couldn’t see.

From the moment the golden energy touched it, the black spots were losing strength and gathering toward the center.

Watching them struggle restlessly while somehow trying to endure, I pulled out another potion and opened the cap.

If they’re going to resist like that, I’ll give them a quantity offensive too.

I smiled and poured the potion into the injured person’s mouth again.

The black spots, trembling like insects facing a predator, couldn’t withstand the massive golden energy that poured down like waves once more and soon began crumbling like dust.

Just two bottles of potion were sufficient to completely eliminate the vicious poison that had been eating away at flesh.

* * *

After the treatment ended, the novice priestesses and I received very generous hospitality from Count Kali.

The novice priestesses were flustered and didn’t know what to do with the mountain of food piled before their eyes.

Though we received quite excellent treatment at the Fleu Family as well, a duke’s house is indeed on a different level.

I patted the novice priestesses’ shoulders, told them to eat slowly, then headed to the side room that had been prepared separately.

Crown Prince Felix, Count Kali, and myself.

It was a gathering of exactly three people.

Perhaps because of their high positions, I felt a strange sense of pressure from the two even though they weren’t deliberately emanating any aura.

Fortunately, since I had my mental barrier, I walked over calmly and took a seat across from them.

The table was filled with delicacies that were even more luxurious and excellent than what I had seen in the restaurant earlier.

“Thank you for saving the knights and soldiers. I don’t know how to repay this debt.”

As soon as she sat down, Count Kali spoke.

I shrugged my shoulders while serving food onto my plate.

“No. Don’t think of it as difficult. It can actually be resolved quite easily.”

“It can be resolved easily?”

“Yes.”

I looked directly at Felix and Kali and made a circle with my index finger and thumb.

“Money.”

It was a very simple gesture that worked anywhere, even when the world changed.

“You don’t need to repay the debt. We simply provided our healing abilities to those who wanted them. So Count, you just need to pay the price for borrowing our abilities.”

“….”

“With money.”

What a clean solution this is.

Rather than some useless favor, it’s best to receive the most practical money and be done with it.

Money is exactly what I need most right now anyway.

“How about it? Clean, right?”

I smiled brightly and popped a perfectly grilled chicken thigh steak into my mouth.

The herb-infused flavor is really delicious.

“…Money, you say?”

At Count Kali’s quiet question, I nodded vigorously.

Then I turned my head toward Feliks sitting beside me.

“The same goes for Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“….”

“You said you’d pay me compensation for treating the injured in the Southern Region, didn’t you? Similarly, I want money. However, Your Highness will need to pay considerably more.”

Since he proposed treating everyone in the Southern Region as the condition, naturally the compensation should be doubled as well.
