"What? Healing Magic... doesn't work?"
Alice was utterly stunned. She was so anxious she nearly burst into tears, even though she hadn't cried when Thomas had beaten her so badly earlier.
The next moment, Alice turned to her grandfather, Sauros, who stood nearby with lingering fear still on his face.
In a commanding tone, she shouted, though her voice still trembled from weakness:
"Grandfather... what are you standing around for?!"
"Hurry... go get me the best court mage in the royal capital, right this instant!"
"And... and get me that pope from the Millis Holy Country, too!"
"I don't care how you do it. Kidnap them if you have to, but bring every last one of them to Roa City!"
"Ciyou got hurt saving me. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can happen to his hand!"
Cui Ciyou nearly choked when he heard that.
He looked at the little red-haired girl before him, who seemed to have instantly transformed into a supreme commander issuing orders to her armies.
A furious stream of complaints began running through his mind:
My dear young lady, it's nothing serious to begin with. I already told you-with my recovery speed, it'll heal on its own in a few days.
Besides, aren't you overestimating your grandfather's abilities a little?
Cui Ciyou instinctively glanced at Lord Sauros beside her. Not only did he make no attempt to stop her, he wore a proud expression that all but said, "What commanding presence my granddaughter has! Truly a blessing for House Boreas!" He was even clapping his hands and laughing.
Cui Ciyou helplessly added in his mind:
You old bastard, stop fanning the flames.
The pope of Millis?
The Millis Holy Country is one of humanity's three great powers, alongside the Asla Kingdom and the Dragon King Kingdom.
