Chapter 98

I looked at the maid with a frown, feeling flustered.

“They’re saying they must receive treatment from the young lady no matter what, and they’re pushing past the guards and climbing over the walls to get into the manor.”

A headache was coming on.

Trespassing into someone else’s home, especially a noble’s manor, was a serious crime.

I understood the people’s desperation, but this wasn’t a matter that could be easily overlooked.

If handled wrongly, the Count’s mansion could turn into complete chaos.

I immediately ordered that Count Sauver and Louis be informed of this situation.

The maids scattered in perfect coordination.

I called Kaisis to my room to prepare for any possible situation.

“There are people gathered outside the manor. It seems several have entered the garden as well.”

“Yes, they’re people who came asking me to treat them.”

“Then they’ll be targeting Master.”

Kaisis quietly placed his hand on his sword hilt, ready to draw it at a moment’s notice.

“Still, don’t harm the people.”

“But if they try to harm Master…”

“They came because they want me to heal them. If they went so far as to visit the manor directly, they haven’t lost their sense of self yet, so they won’t harm me. Of course, it would become dangerous if they lost their sense of self…”

“If Master says you can’t treat them, they might turn violent and do something unpredictable.”

That was a valid point.

These were people desperate enough to climb over the manor’s walls.

But if I told them I couldn’t provide treatment, they might become enraged and cause trouble.

“Then Kaisis will protect me. But don’t harm the people. They still have their sense of self.”

At my words, Kaisis frowned briefly, then nodded.

“I’ll do that.”

Fortunately, the message seemed to have reached Louis properly, as shortly after, I could see armored knights heading toward the garden.

They subdued the people who had trespassed into the garden.

However, their movements were somewhat rough.

As if they were handling criminals…

Standing at the window watching this scene, I immediately left my room.

“What’s wrong, Master?”

“The knights are being too rough. I need to stop them.”

No matter how much these people could endanger the Count’s mansion staff if they turned into demon beasts, they were still human for now.

People who still had their sense of self.

It was hard to watch them being treated so roughly.

I went down the stairs with Kaisis in tow and finally reached the first floor entrance.

When I instructed the maids to open the door, they hesitated briefly before finally opening it.

“Kyaaah!”

“Ahhh!”

Under the knights’ rough handling, people were being trampled and knocked down.

Of course, from the knights’ perspective, they were catching criminals who had trespassed into the manor, so I understood to some extent…

But even so, this wasn’t right.

These people weren’t demon beasts yet. They were people with their sense of self.

“Stop—!”

When I shouted, the knights ceased their actions.

“What are you doing?”

At my words, the Captain of the Knights stepped forward.

“We were catching criminals who trespassed into the manor. It’s dangerous, so please go back inside the manor…”

“These people aren’t criminals.”

“But, Miss. These people unlawfully entered the Count’s mansion…”

“These people are just poor souls who came here risking their lives to receive treatment. So stop treating them like criminals.”

At my words, the knights fidgeted and looked around nervously. There must have been orders from Louis.

The knights glanced around briefly, then when the Captain of the Knights gave a signal, they released the people they had bound.

“Is everyone alright?”

At my question, the people burst into tears and looked up at me.

“Ah, Holy Mage…!”

“Please, please save us!”

“Our child is very sick…!”

The people began crying out desperately, each in their own way. Then they started running toward me one by one.

The garden became chaotic again.

They clung to me, pushing and shoving, and eventually reached the point of kneeling before me and pleading.

Kaisis stood in front of me as if to protect me.

“Show proper respect. This person is the daughter of Sauver County and a Holy Mage!”

The Captain of the Knights shouted at the people.

But it seemed the people, gripped by the fear of possibly becoming demon beasts, couldn’t hear him.

Just the number of people who had entered the garden exceeded ten. There were still people causing a commotion outside the gate.

If all of these people were undergoing Masu Transformation, my power alone wouldn’t be enough.

To save them immediately, I would have to defeat Iban, the Black Mage. Once the black magic energy disappeared, the Masu Transformation would be lifted too.

But I couldn’t face Iban yet.

Neither the Magic Tower nor the Holy Kingdom had contacted me, and we lacked the manpower to fight.

After pondering, I first calmed the people down, gathered them to one side of the garden, and went to find Louis.

“Young Count.”

“What is it this time?”

“I’d like you to create a temporary treatment facility that can accommodate the people.”

At my words, Louis’s brow furrowed.

“You want to accommodate all those people?”

“Yes.”

“You’re not in your right mind.”

Louis let out a hollow laugh and ran his hand through his hair.

“Those are people undergoing Masu Transformation. You want to bring such people into the Count’s mansion. Are you in your right mind?”

“They may be undergoing Masu Transformation, but before that, they’re people. People who have their sense of self. I can’t turn away from them.”

“If the Count’s mansion ends up in danger because of this, will you take responsibility?”

“I promise you that I’ll ensure it never becomes dangerous.”

“How can I trust that promise?”

“I’m a Holy Mage. I’m the only key to solving this problem. If you don’t trust my words, whose words would you trust?”

Louis closed his mouth and glared at me.

“Did you get Father’s permission?”

“No, Count Sauver said he wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t see me…”

“Then I’ll speak to Father directly.”

If I left it to Louis, I didn’t know how he would tell Count Sauver about it.

But as long as Count Sauver wouldn’t see me right away, there was no way to convey my words to him.

In the end, I could only watch Louis get up from his seat.

Even during this, Louis kept coughing lightly. It seemed he had caught the cold from Count Sauver.

I had actually heard that Count Sauver and Louis had breakfast together this morning too.

Unlike me who hadn’t caught the cold, Louis was a fellow patient, so they probably thought it was fine to meet.

After Louis left, I returned to the garden and examined the people. Fortunately, there were no people who appeared to be in the middle or late stages of Masu Transformation.

But everyone’s condition wasn’t good.

As I was seriously examining the people gathered in the garden, a maid approached me.

“Miss, Count Sauver has given permission to create the temporary treatment facility.”

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Louis probably hadn’t spoken favorably about it, but it seemed Count Sauver had trusted my words anyway.

I immediately called for the Captain of the Knights.

“Captain of the Knights, I want to create a temporary treatment facility that can accommodate all these people. Is it possible?”

“With this number of people, it’s possible, but even more might come than we have now.”

“Still, we can’t just send them away right now, so let’s create the facility for now and take care of them. Count Sauver has given his permission.”

“Understood.”

The Captain of the Knights led the knights and disappeared to create the temporary facility.

In the meantime, I calmed the people down.

“I cannot treat you right away.”

“Why not! We came here trusting only in the holy mage, so why…!”

As expected, people began to resist. Kaisis stepped forward as if to protect me from the people.

“Right now, my magical power is insufficient. I need a lot of magical power to purify all of you, but it’s impossible at the moment.”

I could see people becoming dejected at my words.

“First, we’re going to create a temporary treatment facility. There, we’ll monitor the situation and treat one or two people per day, starting with those in the most serious condition.”

At my words, people’s faces brightened a little.

If it was one or two people per day, it meant they could receive treatment if they waited just a little.

“For now, please stay in the garden until the temporary treatment facility is built.”

At my words, people repeatedly bowed and expressed their gratitude.

I sent a maid to instruct the guards to let the people at the gate into the garden as well.

Soon, the garden began bustling with numerous people.

Looking at all these people, I fell into worry once again.

I had no idea so many people were affected by the Pimpis flowers…

I thought it would be fine since I had put up the notices, but I was too complacent.

Just then, the Captain of the Knights approached me.
