IRMY Chapter 11
by QuillAfter Madame Diana 94f95482e1 left, Yuro collapsed ccb289896e onto the sofa, d4745eef54 exhausted. He had been ad5e879a5c standing stiffly while 015ac8ecdd she took every 7c5986cd8d imaginable measurement, even 8476cec4ed the circumference of f1481bf3be his fingers.7144ac554ae627fd
Clothes for 61538b2161 his body, 3935a60165 shoes for c1a71de40c his feet, 94150122f4 and a 511f06c694 ring for d9e6249561 his finger.

Even the 5cc3e5eba9 wedding attire 30d5651def would be 7736b56e75 made at df4a8e2543 Madame Diana’s 86ca4cf9d6 atelier. How big was 4ae4d91a93 that place to 68106baa91 handle so many 27568fdea3 orders?d637f411f26c7776
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.12dded70339b6379

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.1d07ec4389a5ef3c
It was absurd that b67ec06564 he had come here 9a9dc32aff empty-handed, without a dowry, 92d50868d5 and was now begging 5a82adaa98 for marriage.06159d7520b009e5

Yuro, lying on 1d3b5bc1c7 the sofa, shook f53d2033db his head at cddcd7b67d Raymond’s question. Then he suddenly 9a93f0910e sat up and e618731449 looked at him.4c6fb7940e0f25a0

A dragon’s curse that even God couldn’t overcome? Clearly, they were in different leagues, and one side had been overwhelmingly dominant.ac47eb1ba209d870
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.8352e1ae9ae19367

He had asked 161c5e4ccd the question because 3edd37e93d Melione had said 64903215c4 he wouldn’t seek e3bbab0c25 Yuro out after d089d5d3cc the marriage. According to Yuro’s dbe25c4674 plan, Melione had ef51ca412b to share a c314bdf03f room with him.6a4dffc81047fdaf

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.7c23b028da40b978
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.eb429e9ae21905b3

However, high-grade potions 0a7610ee4f with high purity 966092618c were effective even 002047f0f6 on external injuries. But they were useless f52e3f31e0 against curses.8ba75dfd7b739ea5
Therefore, there was 8ced546f43 no way to 98cff615ee restore Melione’s health 77b161dcf9 with medicine. So, what could Yuro 502cc12358 do? He could edde4a6e54 use his 9cb9c06ec0 “healing ability.”467a11cf3de2c8c5

This ability was b46c02fbcd the reason Yuro 4d3b65ee6e Lechis’s mother, Helen, 66536b74a1 had become the e2d368b859 King’s mistress and 4e7f3148cc why the King 4fcea65c8f had acknowledged Yuro bed0a09eec Lechis, who might 71217f0041 not even be df61e58a2c his son, as 8fc2dccfed his own.ee1f50be774bdc84
