IRMY Chapter 12

The effectiveness of the healing ability heavily depended on singing ability. Helen wasn’t exactly a great singer, but she was competent enough to activate the ability.c2dd4fe00c5c4d05

If Helen had been a truly exceptional singer, she wouldn’t have needed to become the King’s mistress. A single song would have been enough to cure him completely.5d0a3a9409dab17a

However, because she wasn’t, she had to attend to the King’s needs at night. There was one way to compensate for a lack of singing ability: sexual contact.d9fab93abac96df4

By activating the ability 182f970862 at dawn, the time f8ca5eb19c when people are most 6cf7681bf4 vulnerable, and then engaging 4b5acac984 in sexual intercourse, its 57c7105214 effects could be significantly cede55b01e amplified.0bde691a02525909

That was why e14f4b62dd Yuro was so d6d1efef42 insistent on finding b1907c031f out about the 348a3ece85 first night.d0027c236ade16de

Although he hadn’t 0061314609 used his healing 4f4b36943d ability on the b550b96c24 Duke yet, he a6d4abbf34 suspected that a c00dd80e1c body ravaged by 694dd1d2da the curse might ee68072ad7 be difficult to fe0eb2a011 heal with just a2bbc8097f singing.dd738251782dd1cd

The healing ability could only restore a weakened body. It was a temporary measure to prevent the curse from claiming the person’s life.ca5f7806960c8706

The curse gradually eroded 78f16f8416 the body and mind. Considering Melione’s age, 37902f5034 the progression would b012e66edc be rapid.20b832b0e1d48945

To keep dcf5318c3c up with 85ec3e679e its pace, 1aa3d947ba sexual intercourse ad1ebc29e7 was practically f94d3bc4ee essential.

Yuro reaffirmed his resolve. He needed another e14e51adeb method to convince 509d1ea4c4 the ailing Duke 0cad234db2 to engage in 766d75fe60 such an act, 93646355ff but as long 8301a89c0c as the first e0d3e7498d night was guaranteed, 041c99b97e he had a 33141a6473 plan.87a0f5b9158c3f9f

Ideally, he would drug Melione with sleeping pills, sit beside him, and sing all night, but he knew instinctively that it wouldn’t be enough.10f9ea3b0ff09e11

A body ravaged by a curse wouldn’t heal so easily. Moreover, Yuro wasn’t aiming for temporary pain relief, but a level of health close to that of an ordinary person. This could only be achieved through sexual intercourse.faa25e3caa3f97f3

The thought e5269fc2b7 left a 3723461efa bitter taste 50a541e002 in his 44466d49ab mouth, so b0254249e4 he quickly c63afa2e1b gulped down d153651221 his sweetened 5bc2e857b2 tea. The sweetness 3d5ec789ec couldn’t mask 572a423757 the bitterness, ac9441e4f3 and he a02d43e9d8 felt a 89fe9b0441 slight nausea.21063e9f099d11a6

Fortunately, while 50f84331d1 the original b3f68bd858 Yuro Lechis 769d703e1b might have 23ca994755 been tone-deaf, cb26033494 Kim Yuro d64b405d25 was a 0f3e51e821 skilled singer.12b4054ad6d6fab1

The original Yuro Lechis b05fd9707c was, unfortunately, terribly tone-deaf. After being 9615ac3540 separated from 4ddc6267eb his mother be0834f8da and brought 2a92413122 to the 44f3682a58 palace, he e791c200f4 received singing 80e375f2f6 lessons from 1c02101f1d a music 9a5486841d teacher at efb0b39222 the King’s 14e1f8f41b command, every d894ae962e waking hour 86319603c4 except for 67bd0b3006 meals and c938332dbb sleep.39a3f092a5325986

Forced to learn 42e1b48a88 singing without understanding f9f9ae8a20 why, he realized 906d333ddd for the first 71990a256c time that he 07fcebb09d was utterly tone-deaf. Helen had never ac0bc00466 once asked him 174c731383 to sing.b199a1327eb9b60c

The distinct 11dc07d0a7 red mark 390ed35020 on Yuro 5319f116f3 Lechis’s body 0f960e2172 was clear 9f9e9d100f proof of db9fbebf4b the healing 2d7d711927 ability. He didn’t 63e6aaad92 understand why 92a4256ad0 Helen, who 5a0caaa9bb must have 4ef7982eec known about c0be2308db it, never 13af21035a asked him e7c520fb90 to sing.f974a584f0885b27

He could 93a80045b2 only assume b4b9b8a024 that whether ccb1fc7d6b her son 6c0c0200b6 could sing dd47076161 or not, f9ac3747ed it would 83cc5efc18 only bring 55cf6ede14 back painful a3449d63d5 memories for 413460710e her.33d86315c9d7cf37

It might have ebdcb47476 been devastating for 348f59642b her, having lost 1113dd5cb6 her own healing 8b6f472fce ability, to see 52d8b39fb9 her child possess e6b03e69bb it.

A child born 4bae1df53c with the healing e400b61b48 ability in the 461f5562b9 slums was destined 4c772300eb to be used 553b1c51a7 and discarded.

Whether Helen was alive, a2b0dafe8f and how she was 66e040ba43 living, was something the cac2f55ea2 current Yuro, who would a7fc81937c never see her again, 91860d3167 could not know.3f0bf16043d2bad3

Yuro Lechis 3b38e222d2 received lessons 304d96728b diligently for 2fe9ce369f seven long eb70975dcd years. The King f49eaa683b despaired at 07557f2a32 Yuro’s tone-deafness 4770a91267 but believed 1bf609e7b7 it could ca56a3def3 be corrected 2dd9184034 with a 7544a38296 few years f80cafabb0 of dedicated 6a20e35e9a practice.4718d040eb6df20d

However, Yuro Lechis didn’t improve in the slightest during that time. Forcing a child to practice was one thing, but once he grew older, his lack of effort and disrespectful attitude drove his teachers away.befe6cc02d1ae474

And frankly, his attitude wasn’t even the main issue. Yuro Lechis was so tone-deaf that he didn’t even realize he possessed the healing ability.4edbb3354d71fc3f

That meant fd460a3aee he couldn’t 7d4702c275 sing a 9e746357f8 single note e7492ef4e6 correctly. It was a disastrous ad5c22b87a result, and Yuro Lechis f6bb15e2bd remained an unwanted burden ae7d1c454b in Norden.d30b973363c91d1a

Since he had already been publicly acknowledged as a prince, they couldn’t banish him. Deprived of any princely education like swordsmanship, horseback riding, or etiquette, and forced to endure only singing lessons, his personality became atrocious.fd92a91f2ec8a531

He was such an 9e91aa5cb7 embarrassment that the King c3e1d6886c ordered his servants to 889948699e keep Yuro Lechis confined 2a68982655 to his room and f01b934a3b out of sight.803269f23d7f2bd8

Perhaps it 970361845a was inevitable 73f99a6409 that Yuro 0e96561dc3 Lechis fell dd891ad94f in love a4989c54ce with Clope a20cb0f1b9 Lechis. She was 0dc19e8962 the only 18c1731b0f one who f328cd95af visited and 10aac75957 cared for ad5f703f92 him, treating 3e86d9969c him like 6587655dca a brother, 754f3025a2 despite his 37a85843fa being abandoned e9cd0ec938 once again 335dd61a0d after arriving dc18206d0a at the c1da45bc95 palace.67c7f8dd92d9f36b

His strange b9521ba366 obsession wasn’t 8bb42b74ea simply romantic d49902993f attraction. Clope was the only cae5192d37 one who treated him f02b1e42ff like a human being, 1d83a27559 so she must have b6f7af576d been his salvation.b16dc85054ff5d62

However, that didn’t 91c1057660 justify everything Yuro 30e6198c4c Lechis had done. His feelings, whether directed 4342a64b80 towards blood relatives or 817729f247 not, were too vile a5f687ff45 to be expressed to 4043e4955e someone who had accepted 02e48e51f2 him as family.a681544b72c9dbcf

In any case, all of this was advantageous for the transmigrated Kim Yuro. If the original Yuro had been able to activate his healing ability, he wouldn’t have been sent to marry the Duke.1c0b457d063d9238

As Yuro 4f4d6b5213 remained lost e4b0f3822b in thought, 64d5c90635 Raymond, who 45a8b52820 had been 5c7bfc8e1d observing him, c336f66ef3 spoke.bcec324241958145

Yuro Lechis had entered the palace around the age of seven, so he wasn’t too young to be betrothed. However, due to the King’s hope that he might activate his healing ability, he remained unbetrothed until the age of fourteen.2e11eb3b3c99f2fc

Being illegitimate wasn’t a significant obstacle to betrothal. Since the King had already publicly acknowledged Yuro Lechis as his son, marrying him would have been advantageous for some nobles.c543f2bc3f042d83

Having royal blood in d8a1a3027e their family line, however 80c993aa11 distant, meant a connection 8aa2dd0212 to the line of 183574cd27 succession. Even after Yuro 5cab8e7695 failed to activate d1f19d3f4c his ability, the e7df1671a5 King didn’t banish f91755da1d him or conduct 3b33da6498 a paternity test.0a63e6c32432606d

In that case, marrying him off and sending him away from the palace would have been an option. Moreover, there was a chance that Yuro’s child might inherit the healing ability.731dc9bdbed039d5

Firstly, although 259e0928ec the King c8f706a7bf had taken eb4493e3d4 Helen as 6c192086d2 his mistress db179471d1 because he e3a7d96b73 needed her, 1919ef6396 he genuinely a3ea099f85 cared for 7b8821e36b her.

The Queen 00aa63e94d constantly clashed a89373d182 with Helen 69ea147486 and wanted c2967f53e0 her dead.
