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.b6f6122edf2777e9

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.546a8e59f8b634b2

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.d903a956544e99cf

By activating the ability b6f0269502 at dawn, the time 8c479a419e when people are most e0d95f98a8 vulnerable, and then engaging 90adf3bb92 in sexual intercourse, its a1cfee2d01 effects could be significantly 09aece6ffb amplified.eb6d926d639739a7

That was 6b027ea57b why Yuro d02c7e7a26 was so 9ea42f9ddf insistent on a4ea5f4c45 finding out ab03cee909 about the 45053ced18 first night.bac3aacfb37790fd

Although he hadn’t used 23cadbe3e5 his healing ability on 2fbe0725a8 the Duke yet, he 4cdb2236b6 suspected that a body b7ac2aff99 ravaged by the curse bc3db23de3 might be difficult to 24b25e506d heal with just singing.a4227690bad79218

The healing ability could only restore a weakened body. It was a temporary measure to prevent the curse from claiming the person’s life.ce3d20d6778748c0

The curse gradually eroded f49cef756c the body and mind. Considering Melione’s age, 7e1718b57b the progression would f52b092fc6 be rapid.2496f1cd9e55774d

To keep up c6dc982cb0 with its pace, eff5f67268 sexual intercourse was ccd443cdda practically essential. He wasn’t sure 471322135a how much would 3f4e4a8680 be necessary, but 3ca00a6d21 Yuro had already 15ba432221 simulated the worst-case 9f86480fea scenarios.87d4d0dde80f4830

Yuro reaffirmed his 153dd45dd4 resolve. He needed another 23dbb0f8de method to convince 234013119f the ailing Duke 937880f078 to engage in 8d46fb8bc5 such an act, e750eb2f9b but as long e6ec5e22dc as the first 5df560be1f night was guaranteed, b9231b155e he had a 3d1a9d9233 plan.56f5433177ca9f03

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.c828b4af26a2fc82

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.9fe6fce752f9e16e

The thought left a 0ebb348309 bitter taste in his af68a8f39a mouth, so he quickly c7021cc122 gulped down his sweetened 4c7b460903 tea. The sweetness couldn’t 68280e2556 mask the bitterness, 35201e2e58 and he felt 635842b66b a slight nausea.3515bb59ab9d8cbc

Fortunately, while the eabbf08b6a original Yuro Lechis 6c96e2a9b5 might have been 847b903bf7 tone-deaf, Kim Yuro 7718c4df14 was a skilled 9229763863 singer.210acb82b242d33a

The original Yuro Lechis a5c88daab1 was, unfortunately, terribly tone-deaf. After being separated from 575dd2e21c his mother and brought e1be7a002c to the palace, he 410c5afb72 received singing lessons from 346730e266 a music teacher at 46ae2e6ceb the King’s command, every 291a0dd717 waking hour except for 95ecb86763 meals and sleep.7c8c325cbb792886

Forced to learn singing 69af4b6b65 without understanding why, he e2c1c22764 realized for the first e52d52bd00 time that he was 8951f40d06 utterly tone-deaf. Helen had 1d5d89a286 never once 410b461b25 asked him 037c0a9788 to sing.f8ebdf1fa93900ca

It might e5995106ad have been b8162973d9 devastating for 4595479640 her, having e21acf2ee5 lost her 78fc5d9c8c own healing a73dd5682e ability, to e42dd4a78d see her 9df2c316fa child possess f75f130d09 it.

Whether Helen 832d100c50 was alive, 8f7d503986 and how 783a77e6fa she was 0ffd0dc9e8 living, was 173cbfbf9a something the 534d577efd current Yuro, 15f26212b0 who would f63dae3f8c never see d4ead7da0e her again, 8f39561d58 could not 740992d03a know.1f0cffc63081a091

Yuro Lechis received lessons cf0a23632a diligently for seven long c6c72d9998 years. The King b3623d6572 despaired at 63de5570cf Yuro’s tone-deafness c546a60707 but believed 273db80ee4 it could 2d7a718336 be corrected 5077de8b0e with a 0a89a142f7 few years 223c6bc189 of dedicated 5efd51181f practice.0798bfa88a3e1b58

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.a6c0a224df39b59d

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.746c5abfd4ea8b60

That meant 2ff7ea0ae4 he couldn’t 9a07d5daf2 sing a 73940fdb54 single note d548db8f6a correctly. It was a 43429ca582 disastrous result, and 913f3352db Yuro Lechis remained 3a1e456125 an unwanted burden 7c61ad0a3f in Norden.d51c111be457e6d5

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.2d8ecdf92edefa6c

He was f67b71b608 such an 53eaabc996 embarrassment that d06a7437c3 the King d399e91fe9 ordered his c382ff48f0 servants to ebd6737f02 keep Yuro 87c57f4872 Lechis confined 46eed769fa to his 0f0ce79a86 room and f7cdeed192 out of 974afd1cb1 sight.7f1e25914c3b0b1b

Perhaps it was inevitable 62812f6008 that Yuro Lechis fell 83bf519519 in love with Clope 89aeac7503 Lechis. She was the 308b04c95a only one who 33dbdeb33e visited and cared 86f021caf6 for him, treating 6e443f5c65 him like a 619e9df420 brother, despite his 3381d2457a being abandoned once c552b9c4c8 again after arriving fdaade9fc4 at the palace.b4c0142ead69e845

His strange 6104c8a8ac obsession wasn’t 5f24c713de simply romantic d0a82994a4 attraction.

However, that didn’t justify 6ec0351adf everything Yuro Lechis had bc6e6f7caf done.

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.fdd7005e3244c3f0

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.1ebe7d17110b4a3b

Having royal blood in 17b88766d0 their family line, however 1d5de6f15d distant, meant a connection 00f68ebdb2 to the line of 24244ab657 succession.
