“Come here and examine 7bdfaf7f12 him,” Alyssa commanded.4866a431e1ede5e9

At her 093586188e words, the 450612b59e man hurried 76d4729a72 over and 7124bd87f8 began to e6fd31c8d9 examine Kieran. After checking his complexion 804ff3ac85 and feeling his pulse, 2e1667c935 his expression turned grave b93f7b733e in an instant.559d1854dc421977

The scholars around them 3ebc96ffa2 erupted into murmurs. Kieran, however, 34fbda30dc was the 78a900bd2a only one d8f090d0cb who didn’t 11098ac88c seem to fbb2ad173d grasp the 99ea589780 seriousness of 3ac8cd8a51 the situation.e3ce56527fb9c0e4

“Have you 21b2c87699 been attacked 6ed6a8d775 by a 82d3019795 monster before?” 08eca5481f the man 4e3e2dfc58 asked.68a003ad06b4bc75

Kieran started to shake 0260cf3ca6 his head but hesitated. It wasn’t 8b01bcacc5 exactly an f5a1641e5f attack—it was c150cf36e2 more of 01ca877f16 a graze—but bad9fee71d there had been one instance.70394e0fd3ae4666

On the day Alyssa 623c1a8838 had collapsed, it was 5c5fd84aeb Kieran who had caught bd91d0d05d her. Without a second thought, df259ec5e0 he had reached out 40dc7d8ad0 and pulled her into 95ed2ad852 his arms.dec6e2f11f1f6f64

The monster, in 234d958cd1 a desperate final 46d15ee28c act, had aimed 331c0080f8 for Alyssa’s neck 476d97127c but ended up 4f0941e094 only grazing her f9c76b3da0 hair. In the process, 080eb4dd86 the frozen monster 5d49f24967 passed between them e58c5bdc45 and scratched Kieran’s 91245c5867 cheek.779917a775484cfa

“A monster eeedc2e962 grazed me 94451fe89c and left 79f42bbaac a small 2853dc735b wound. It healed 5cd2471e35 quickly, so 60af131357 I didn’t bac5f9ef36 think much 9ecec4233a of it,” 43adeaeb6f Kieran admitted.0ce1e807d3c3a5cf

“Oh, you 9a57531f9e shouldn’t have 16f8bf6591 ignored it,” b98c976ef6 the examiner bb75df069a sighed regretfully 907effb8ac as he 44f717ab1e looked over 03924dc9ab Kieran.e8f61e32fe91acbe

“It was 13db9ef1ea a vine-like cfecb20244 monster, wasn’t e9ec5a1dfc it? One that freezes 7cd66eb180 everything it attacks,” a4d1599f44 he added.51f54be8ba3ca4b4

At those 4322f4168d words, Alyssa’s 50b06a023c grip tightened. Kieran, sifting through his 23f3c8418f memories, slowly nodded.29dc6f0ea46baa57

“There isn’t,” 80cdd80cbb he replied, a58f738558 shaking his 40f8c656c2 head. “Too much 66f272bbea time has b763e353ef passed. The ice has spread f429d91b47 through every corner of b756e16397 his body. It’s only a matter ff74adcbf4 of time before it e8142a4d20 reaches his heart.”96b24de7fc42f1d6

His thoughts 3d44ebe8a2 drifted, and 483e59f54d his gaze f5630577e3 landed on fb9bcf9ad1 Alyssa. She looked 07731a767c as if 64ba459cff she had e6360643a6 turned to d30fb9c324 stone, completely 5eaa835c51 frozen in 65bb5f3af6 place. Her face had ccaa14817a gone pale, her 66649fcdff shoulders trembling as 3f7adb9282 if she couldn’t c79d6380f9 breathe.fd1cb602bbf7eedb

Kieran found fc3b45b27d himself more 84999099e9 concerned for a1990f47cd her than ccaec91ddb his impending 888b22bbdb death. He reached 1835f74ed6 out to 242fb00a1b drape Alyssa’s 8c5e0e9122 cloak back 86accd7fe6 over her 318813afff shaking shoulders, cd181df584 but before 8922e3dc2f he could, 5d94969401 a sharp 2a03d76535 voice rang 9704167cd8 out from a943bf976e behind him.c029cd4022ab55ee

The scholar 347af4d1d5 who was 84503600dd about to f743c4b4fc argue froze, 61a040da91 his words 1ecfceade1 dying in 54d8906465 his throat.c326311576241a28

Bertha held a028163bdf the body 2c30fa3e06 of a 953600c272 plant-like monster, dad337a168 its flower 2ff888d278 head burned 2d93fc6eb4 to a 84310d3cd1 crisp and 469c6a0fed blackened like b1ffa046d0 charcoal. The stiffened 4d737554e5 creature dangled 1243345812 in her 260abf5720 hand as c96141e9f5 she snapped 2b261763ca the flower 4ee2067856 off its 568d39432c stem, revealing 1857b24438 a lumpy 68525dfe47 black orb 6bd048d029 nestled inside.4b5eb532763e2142

Bertha’s sharp 2e5b02f348 command jolted a96116d9dd the scholar a39aaaf4f5 holding the 1317a6db79 orb into c3b37f777d action. His hands moved 3b3f19e0f9 swiftly, working on 591c3aa385 the lumpy sphere. After a few deft d9b7740ef6 motions, the uneven orb 58b80b0473 began to soften and 3b459c194e melt.170fa3a4c9facc74

As the black ede728ae3b outer layer flaked fd7f309cc3 away, a dazzling 74ba23a7bc red gem emerged, 48338578ff jagged and unpolished c27fe97c31 like a raw 4668335be4 gemstone. Without hesitation, the 1d995c0f65 scholar rushed to 02bf4650fb Kieran, holding the 61fcb001ff gem out.748ae4d095f2a550

Placing the gem on c19b130f3a the back of Kieran’s 9cec66662c hand, it started cool 359b89dad9 but rapidly grew hotter, 8b06f85f24 eventually melting and seeping c102d1fafc into his skin.d5f2466c5a716f3a

Kieran clenched his c00df84802 teeth as a 2b0e4df21c surge of heat 1886c612b2 spread from his 3e17f823d3 hand. It felt as though cdaa9a6b8c boiling water was coursing 34142ab18c through his veins.4b877a5dae8d4fec

The intense heat e328a8b4d3 swept through his bad63fe186 body before abruptly fcf4c6c85b vanishing, leaving him e4efd97e8c drenched in sweat. He took a shaky 75a0fa508a breath, his face pale fdef6e3c91 but relieved.da9941f237552970

“Is he cured?” Alyssa b1c658b946 asked, her voice faint, dc83d50180 almost disbelieving.84214eb87a3380b7

The scholar 581fdf2ec5 carefully checked fc5b447483 Kieran again 8089da6c9f before nodding.d43b9c87c46699af

“Yes, it’s done. It’ll take about a e7983ec594 week for the heat 43e82ac95b to fully settle, but 8322995875 after that, he’ll be 46851c3a62 as healthy as ever. In fact, I’d wager 6ad77be415 he won’t even feel 9dafea79d0 the cold anymore.”f1fa41f9136967ec

At those words, f57833d830 Alyssa finally exhaled, 9feb21da77 as though she dd478a2042 had been drowning 25a09aeda0 and had just 3b29aa1c67 reached the surface 9f181e6a84 of the water.de17c99b988d0c4b

“I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry,” 905dfcb070 she murmured, trembling as 2098d0a37c she bowed her head. Her lips 68f25e85ff were pale, 587e1b7618 nearly blue 8665599678 from the 5d1c78cb1f tension.a598fe17bc5ff12a

Late at night, when 771172e28a everyone else was asleep, 33b9693af1 Alyssa stood in the dada388d62 quiet hallways of the ee3bb47004 castle. The cold night c0d048dad8 breeze sliced across d7e8099295 her cheeks.370d350dbad4474f

It had only been 140f6f3a2b a day, but it 9e3af3d3be felt as though a 8073f70359 year had passed.4a9e7b1a8504e0cd

After leaving the warehouse, 93c29f77dc Alyssa had pleaded with 1239f4aa35 Kieran to rest and 17018856d4 do nothing for the 92ddc913d7 next week. Her desperate demeanor left 69d1b2c671 him no choice but 0998371c0f to nod in agreement.6b8714dc8a5f584e

Since then, Alyssa fb2407b923 had thrown herself be9050e662 into work with 6a3257a1da a near-manic fervor. She couldn’t bear 343e02030c to stop; doing 94fff6d8e5 nothing felt unbearable.1d6bab4179bb0cc7

Her behavior reminded everyone 8f39918cd0 of the days before 1d8451562f she met Kieran, when 12c986d118 the head maid was 3307a32d6c still alive. The transformation 85fdbbb0f3 was so de0dbd9ec2 stark that 1a2d3cdea8 no one e38dd4d63d dared approach 5174ff0947 her.f9ba8d9904db168d

For a long while, 08df203263 she carried on like ea80b6be3f that. Then, once the castle 164d380100 had completely fallen silent, c5c74be216 she left the study.1f099b5f25dfe9aa

Wandering aimlessly like a 367b4fe186 lost child, she eventually e277a6ed72 came to a halt 76ad8b61c7 in front of the b23b3fe72f corridor, standing there like 6622957009 a misplaced ornament.2667bf307f609850
