Chapter 72

Jacques then showed a deeply moved expression and eventually bowed his head respectfully.

“First, please change out of your wet clothes. I’ll show you the patients after that.”

The clothes were mostly dry, but after wandering through the forest and falling into the river, they were in a complete mess.

They were torn in several places too.

I decided to change clothes with the help of the maids, and the maids politely attended to my dressing.

After I finished changing clothes and even fixing my hair, the maids smiled brightly and applauded.

“You’re truly beautiful, Saint.”

“You look like a goddess incarnate.”

“You’re dazzling.”

The maids each praised me until their mouths went dry.

I smiled awkwardly and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

My appearance in the pure white dress did look like a saint.

When I rose from my seat, one of the maids quickly went to the door and opened it for me.

“Thank you.”

When I nodded in greeting, the maid seemed so moved she didn’t know what to do and stamped her feet.

Wait, is the position of saint really that significant?

When I smiled sheepishly, Jacques, who had been waiting by the door, looked at me with a dazed expression.

“Truly, you are beautiful, Saint…”

“Um, thank you.”

When I rolled my eyes awkwardly, Jacques extended his hand.

“Then I shall guide you to where the patients are.”

I took Jacques’ hand and stepped toward where the patients were.

About 10 minutes after leaving the palace by carriage, we arrived in front of a large building.

The place with white walls surrounded by ivy looked just like a modern hospital.

I realized from the groaning sounds coming from inside that this was a space where patients were gathered.

“Here it is.”

Jacques looked at me with a worried face, then received something from a maid and held it out to me.

“Please wear this.”

What Jacques offered was a white mask-like cloth.

“The stench will probably be severe. Pus is coming out of the patients’ bodies…”

I took the cloth, wrapped it over my nose, and took a deep breath.

“It will be quite terrible. If it’s too hard to look at, please tell me.”

“I understand.”

I nodded and then entered the building with Jacques.

Inside the building, there was a foul smell just as Jacques had said.

The smell of rotting flesh and the stench of pus.

I frowned slightly and looked around.

It seemed there weren’t enough hospital rooms, as patients were lying even in the hallways.

“Ahhhhh…!”

“Ugh, uh…”

The patients were screaming or groaning as if in pain.

All these people are undergoing beast transformation?

I couldn’t believe it and looked around.

People who looked like nurses were walking around caring for the patients.

Then someone who made eye contact with me muttered ‘Saint?’

“S-Saint, you said?”

“They say the Saint has come.”

“The Saint?”

The surroundings instantly became noisy, and even the sick patients began bowing their heads to me.

“We greet the Saint!”

They shouted in unison like a chorus.

I felt somewhat burdened by such intense treatment.

Even though I said there was no need to bow, they paid no attention and lowered their heads.

I first helped the patients get up.

If they stayed prostrate like this, their wounds would only get worse.

“Please help me get the patients up.”

At my words, the nurses began helping me lift the patients one by one.

Among the patients were those whose beast transformation had progressed to the point where movement was difficult.

After helping the patients up, I began carefully examining their condition.

“This can’t be…”

Certainly, the picture Jacques had shown me wasn’t fabricated.

I had to purify them quickly.

But since my mana was limited, it seemed better to treat those whose lives were in danger first.

“Where are the most serious patients here?”

“Over there.”

One of the nurses approached and guided me.

I followed the nurse’s steps.

When we arrived in front of a hospital room located deeper inside, an extreme stench pierced my nose.

“Is this it?”

“Yes. It might be hard to look at.”

“It’s okay.”

When I nodded, the nurse hesitated for a moment, then opened the door for me.

“No, how could…”

Seeing the patients inside the hospital room, I had no choice but to cover my mouth in shock.

Tremble tremble tremble tremble.

Beatrice shook her leg with a fierce expression.

Although Rene had said she would go to the Holy Kingdom herself, Beatrice was too worried to just sit still.

Not only Beatrice, but the expressions of the others were also dark.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Beatrice shot up from her seat.

“This won’t do. I’ll go directly and find Rene myself.”

As Beatrice strode toward the door, the Duke followed.

“I’ll go with you too.”

It was Shamal who stopped the two people trying to rush out through the door.

“Wait just a little longer. Rene must have a plan too.”

Finally, Beatrice raised her voice in frustration, shouting ‘Until when!’

Meanwhile, the Count worried whether his daughter who went to the Holy Kingdom would be okay.

If something happened to his daughter in the Holy Kingdom…

When the Count staggered, Louis hurriedly supported him.

Louis also had some conscience, as he continued to stay in the drawing room.

“What if something happened to that young child!”

Amid the commotion from Beatrice’s outburst, Kaisis quietly stood up.

“I will go find my master.”

Then Beatrice’s eyes instantly became triangular.

“How could you. Do you think being good at swordsmanship is everything?”

However, unexpectedly, it was the Mage Lord who took Kaisis’s side.

The Mage Lord, who knew Kaisis’s true identity, looked at Kaisis with a meaningful expression.

“Leave him be. That guard knight seems to have a way.”

Kaisis left the room without a moment’s hesitation.

Beatrice, who had been grumbling heavily, seemed to calm down a bit, and the Duke finally sat back down in his seat.

The Mage Lord quietly contemplated while looking at the spot where Kaisis had left.

A mad young lady with the aura of dark magic, an evil dragon, and a holy mage.

She didn’t know what kind of combination this was, but her curiosity was piqued.

While everyone was feeling troubled, the Mage Lord quietly looked out the window.

Through the window, she could see a dragon with scales as black as the night sky flying away.

The Emperor looked down at the Elite Knight Order.

This supreme knight order, composed of a select few, followed only the Emperor’s commands.

The reason the Emperor had gathered them today was simple.

To retrieve Rene Sauver, who had been kidnapped by the Holy Kingdom.

“You must find Rene Sauver without fail. She must be secured. If Rene Sauver refuses to return from the Holy Kingdom, then just kill her. If Rene Sauver with her special powers sides with the Holy Kingdom, the Empire’s position will be greatly shaken.”

At the Emperor’s command, the Elite Knight Order shouted “Yes!” in unison.

After the Elite Knight Order left the audience chamber, the Emperor turned to his only son and said,

“When Rene Sauver returns, immediately welcome her as the Crown Princess.”

“But she already has a lover…”

In that moment, veins bulged on the First Princess’s tightly clenched fists.

Though she had already heard about it at the banquet hall, anger surged within her again.

The Emperor looked at his son with a seemingly affectionate smile.

“What does having a lover have to do with becoming the Crown Princess? In the end, you just need to make her yours.”

At the Emperor’s words, the Crown Prince’s eyes gleamed ominously.

* * *

“This is so serious…”

When I opened the door to the hospital ward where the critically ill patients were, an even worse stench wafted out.

I tried to suppress my shocked feelings as I looked around the hospital ward.
