Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 25 - CONSOLATION
The extraction process of the monster curse inside Alice's body was completed. However, the artificial artifact that damaged the performance of his mana flow still remained in his heart.
If the artifact is left alone continues to be in his heart, then even without the existence of a monster curse, the artifact will still be able to suck mana from nature and then transfer it into the form where the demon so that in a few months, Alice will again experience the same disease.
The artifact had to be removed from his heart before he went back to the bad thing.
This is not a difficult thing of course for me, but also not a thing that can be done lightly. One of the few procedures was done, then Alice's heart could have exploded and she could have died. Therefore, I must not at all make any mistakes in the procedure.
It's just, it's a procedure I can't do with my current ability in a condition that doesn't come into direct contact with the skin. Therefore, I was forced to tell Alice to open her superior.
“Alice, can you open your clothes tops? Take it easy, I will cover my eyes so that I will not be able to see your exposed body part. It's just purely necessary to remove that artificial artifact from inside your heart.”
“Eh, what? But Your Majesty.”.
I didn't wait for her response the moment I started covering my eye area with my ice magic.
Alice immediately understood and immediately executed my order after feeling that there was not a single evil intent from my words.
But well, even with my eyes closed, my high mana sensitivity is still able to make me feel clearly every curve of Alice's body that comes into contact with which I channel.
Especially the large melon that hung beautifully on her body made me unable to resist the tantrum of something small hiding in the gap of my two legs.
But I tried not to show it as hard as possible so that Alice would not feel uncomfortable with all that.
The surgery took a long time, but in the end, I was able to extract an artifact the size of a tennis ball from his heart. I was surprised how such a large object could reside in his heart that was only two to three times larger than the size of the artifact.
Well, but sometimes magic can not be explained by the concept of science that pays attention to the conservation of mass and energy.
“Yosh, this way, the artifact of the monster forest has been repaired so that the monsters will no longer attack aggressively in the city and the artifact inside Alice's body has been successfully removed so that Alice's condition will slowly begin to improve. Everything went well.” I said happily in front of Alice and Yasmin.
Not long after, the fog began to thicken around us after the damaged part of the monster forest artifact, we finished repairing it. We also started walking back out of the monster forest.
But before he could go far, Alice suddenly asked me, “Your Highness Prince, are we going to leave his dungeon just like that without exploring it even though the dungeon is already in sight?”
To Alice's question, I replied, “Once the dungeon door is opened, then we don't know what will happen. We should plan the expedition carefully before exploring it. It is not that we are being chased for time or anything to do. Besides now, there's another important thing I need to do right away.”
Along with that last sentence, I stared into the artificial artifact I had sealed using my ice magic.
“What does that have to do with that artificial artifact that was previously in my heart, Your Highness the Prince? What will you plan to do using the artifact?”
A few hours walk, the night returned to the monster forest. This is our second night in the monster forest. Then again, we camped there.
But different from the previous one, after the monster forest artifact was repaired, there seemed to be no more violent monsters that we encountered. Therefore, we were able to get our comfortable rest that night.
Outside the tent, I once again saw Alice in her sad expression. I slowly approached her without saying a word.
“I did not expect that I could survive the disease and I also did not expect that it was not a natural disease, but rather a disease deliberately instilled by His Majesty Emperor Vlonhard on me.”
“But if I go back to pondering, should I have survived all this? Because if so, then the grudge of my comrades who have died because I left behind it, will not be avenged again with my death.”
Alice, who was now comfortable near me, again put all the burdens on her heart.
“Alice, I think you may have misunderstood the intentions of your colleagues. Besides isn't it weird why you survived all by yourself? It must be because they were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect you. To them, you are like their little sister or daughter who will also be the foundation of future hope for them so that they will never let you die in such a place.”
“While I wasn't at the scene, I can be sure that they all love you very much. Therefore, surely they are currently up there have really gained their happiness while looking at you with hope so that you can also get your happiness in this life.”
Alice's tears flowed as I said those words. In a word, he returned, too,
“May I live happily after escaping their deaths?”
“Your colleagues up there will be sad if you still feel guilty for their deaths.”
“It's true. After a second thought, His Highness Prince Helios' words were indeed true. They are good partners. There was no way they would expect suffering from me. Quite the contrary, I have to live well to keep them up there no longer need to worry about me here. Thank you, Your Highness Prince. Thanks to you, now I understand well the feelings of my colleagues.”
Alice also smiled as if the burden that had been weighing on her shoulders had just come off.
Although it was an irresponsible word that came out of my mouth since I also did not know how the character of each of Alice's deceased comrades was.
I don't know what intentions are in their minds at the end of their deaths. Whether they were happy to sacrifice themselves for Alice's safety or whether they cursed Alice for fleeing from them.
But what's important now is what's still alive. It was more important to convince Alice that her heart was calm and no longer disturbed by the trauma of her past even if it was just empty words that came out through my mouth. As such, something would go more productively with Alice being able to be back at the peak of her strength.
After all, nothing will change if Alice continues to mourn the departure of her colleagues and is confined to the trauma of their death throughout her life. Not that if Alice did that, her comrades would come back alive or how.
That is why, I also used a delusional potion to amplify the effects of words that are a kind of hypnotic potion by using some herbs that I encountered in the monster forest that Alice was unaware of, I put it on fire in the bonfire he made.
That was how it was so that the empty words that I said just now completely seeped into Alice's heart and shook off her trauma thanks to the strengthening of the hypnotic effects of the herb.
