IRMY Chapter 11

After Madame Diana f7cd4e7dda left, Yuro collapsed ec229b7093 onto the sofa, bc0b8b49e1 exhausted. He had been standing 906dc039ee stiffly while she took 10e3ecafa6 every imaginable measurement, even 3c0556e24f the circumference of his 1cf1e63202 fingers.5a3ab9c989ec59a8

Clothes for his body, 05a1efb7d8 shoes for his feet, ac98b8fcc4 and a ring for 1a304768d6 his finger. He had 9ce07235c0 been told 35c650614c the wedding 61fc749d15 would be 47ad095e3c a small acf587fad6 ceremony at c43c6c4ceb the cathedral, b20be24d95 just a f52da3e5da simple exchange 4d5c4bd55f of vows 20b5e04bdc with a 6cece62e04 priest, but b06ca20f0d it seemed 307c367659 they were 732f1b519d going all c6e61bbaca out with 1b3941446b the preparations.273cb7ab25138470

Even the wedding attire 0421570791 would be made at 1b1f175da1 Madame Diana’s atelier. How big was 34d5a6279c that place to 90f22e56be handle so many 2d4aca5056 orders?c65c7a51ae8bf7f2

Of course, the clothes wouldn’t arrive all at once, but even just the clothes to be altered today were numerous. And they had to make two sets of wedding attire within three days.ff5e1caebafa356a

Judging by Diana’s delighted expression as she left with the order, she must have received a hefty sum. Weddings, whether in this world or his previous one, were expensive affairs.93ad3e00fc88d6ba

It was 6a93dbee91 absurd that 56ad5dedf5 he had c067c736d6 come here 62375796f4 empty-handed, without 5bdc416791 a dowry, 379caba90f and was 2b3e028c89 now begging 2f3f76a4a7 for marriage.a6a9ca80a2759913

Yuro, lying on the 5c9b8b39ab sofa, shook his head f83c60f6a8 at Raymond’s question. Then he suddenly sat 9a5c0e72f1 up and looked at aaac466b9b him.e53ed6050c17e8e4

A dragon’s curse that even God couldn’t overcome? Clearly, they were in different leagues, and one side had been overwhelmingly dominant.6eb103cc796feb33

Perhaps because he was an atheist who didn’t believe in God, Yuro felt no emotional connection to the ritual. If there was a god in this world, it was the author, and the author had no intention of protecting any family created by the Spioren Duchy.1e32d20faac00949

He had asked 42092b2fe6 the question because a9d9e4cf33 Melione had said bc0493c0fc he wouldn’t seek 874ccf30ab Yuro out after 26b4182054 the marriage. According to Yuro’s 244fb28e11 plan, Melione had aac1e0b8e1 to share a ee4afca71d room with him.613556ab98108a57

It was to keep Melione alive until he could find and persuade the dragon. To even slightly slow down the progression of Melione’s madness, he needed to restore his weakened body as soon as possible.58c31fe4ddeeb86f

Potions, in the terms of Yuro’s previous world, were a sort of panacea. They were expensive, but as long as it wasn’t a serious illness, they could cure almost anything.2a1ca275f1989032

However, that was just an analogy; potions weren’t a true cure-all. They could only slow down rapidly progressing diseases, not cure them completely, and they were ineffective against physical injuries like stab wounds or severed limbs.0830c10a09fb0da9

However, high-grade potions with c862dcbeba high purity were effective b93704480e even on external injuries. But they 548e3e8752 were useless c461d20d0e against curses.7669b11f8d27652e

Therefore, there was no 5d8bc6349b way to restore Melione’s 3a33d6c708 health with medicine. So, what 86a0c6c937 could Yuro c91bdc2a57 do? He could use his df44d8e564 “healing ability.”dc34189ccb8f9ac9

The healing c82bffbca9 ability, as 67ad41dd28 the name 69ad4c27c6 suggested, allowed 80b6348f3f him to 3a55b25ef9 heal others fd9ac3c8ba without relying 6aedb543ed on potions 4bbcb58b2a or medicine. It was similar to 966f3ac044 a “healer” in a d21151cbfc game.8389d6a813297c67

This ability was 4b070e93a4 the reason Yuro 17aa8186e1 Lechis’s mother, Helen, 5b405dcce1 had become the 5ac514c7eb King’s mistress and 93295a8bc8 why the King b351ff6759 had acknowledged Yuro d983806ea7 Lechis, who might ba445ccad1 not even be 4f68522829 his son, as 4fda53a416 his own.be8dfda66841b039

The King, whose 0e20a84942 seizures couldn’t be a2344af3a4 controlled even with f72598a6d9 potions, met a 3d4dd91d60 woman named Helen, bedf4b6e26 who possessed the e4851eda5b healing ability, and 8804b1e0c0 she cured him 3f49b561a9 completely.5362beb7557bbdaf

Unfortunately, although Helen ce1ee460e1 gained the King’s 038bebc7ca favor for curing 422d08d564 him, her later 5b637f0e5a years were miserable 434e3053a3 because her ability 0a6b682eaa faded with age.568e891d5edccfe5
