"Suster Anna?"
When Nana heard the thunderous footsteps coming from the stairs, she ran to the door and caught a glimpse, but she was immediately disappointed that she found out that the person who came was His Highness, the Prince.
"Anna should still be working, but she might come later" Roland said as he arrived at Nana's side.
"Work?" Nana had recently heard this word often from the Prince's mouth, "You mean she burned this gray mud powder?"
"For now, yes."
Nana pouted as she returned to the table. I have a job too, he thought. My job is to stay here and wait to take care of the wounded soldiers while defending the city.
Roland asked with a gentle smile, "How is it? Did you get bored when Anna wasn't here?" as he took a chair to sit by the fireplace.
“Alright,” Nana propped up her chin with her hands so that she could not nod and give the correct answer. It was not that he did not want to take care of the injured, but .. The sight of the wound was so terrifying .
She still remembered when she had to take care of Brian, it was the first time she had to take care of a human. The man was covered in blood so it seemed like he was bathed in blood. A reddish-brown blood clot had frozen in his stomach, his mouth resembled a dried fish, and he was giving off a white liquid and red blood. Then ... Nana fainted.
That's really embarrassing.
Nana raised her head to secretly glance at Roland. He saw that he had been leaning on his chair and snoring. The prince looked tired, he thought. His job is to build walls, train soldiers, and protect the city from the invasion of demon monsters.
When he came to ask for her help, even though he hesitated for a long time, in the end he did not refuse.
"You'll find some things that make you want to keep living, even if you have to fight for life." - Nana doesn't understand what this means, but when she closes her eyes, she's, Anna would appear in his mind - with her pair of bright blue eyes, like a lake, surrounding him slowly. This was the reason he had agreed to Roland's request.
She wants to be as strong as her sister, Anna.
Suddenly there were footsteps coming from below again and Nana jumped straight out of her chair. He wanted to go to the door to see if it was Anna who came this time, but suddenly he was stopped by an invisible hand.
"Wait a minute, there's more than one person."
Nana patted her chest in dissatisfaction, "You scared me, sister Nightingale."
Soon the door was open, and this time Brian, who was stationed here, who entered, "Miss Pine, please come down. There's a patient on fire."
It's a job for him, isn't it?
Nana took a deep breath, "I'm going down."
He walked down while two guards were busy carrying an unconscious person towards the bed. Standing beside the bed was a short man with a face full of anxiety. Brian walked up to the patient and neatly tied the patient's hands and feet to the bed. When he finished tying, he closed the area with the curtains he had prepared beforehand and then led the little man out of the room.
When Roland got down, he asked as he rubbed his eyes, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the North Slope Mine sent a seriously injured person, he looks like he was doused in hot water."
The prince approached Brian, "He's on fire by a steam engine, right? Is there a problem with the engine? Did you send him to Nana?"
"He's in the medical room." Brian pointed towards the door.
"I want you to investigate the case." when he finished speaking, Roland walked towards the medical room.
He took two steps back and closed his eyes. When he opened it again, he saw his father watching him attentively.
"Are you okay?"
Nana nodded, thinking of the words Roland said to her - "You just need to treat the injured just as you treat the little animals ." He once again moved towards the bed and extended his hand.
An overwhelming feeling emerged within his body and gathered on his palm. He saw a beam of light emitted from the fluorescent green liquid flowing from his hand as it fell onto the injured face. To him, this fluorescence light was clearly visible, but to others it seemed invisible. Then, the wounds began to change. The charred skin is constantly peeled off and new skin begins to grow back at a visible pace.
The groans of pain from the injured man gradually diminished until it stopped, and his breathing diminished. Looks like he just fell asleep.
Nana sighed, relieved. This time his performance must have been better than last time, and he thought, I should have made great progress with my training, right?
"O Lord, is this what His Majesty meant when he spoke of your healing abilities? It's the first time I've seen you do this." asked Sir Pine. Then he exclaimed, "Good girl, you are amazing!"
"It was the power of the gods," Brian said in the same amazed tone, "Miss Nana also healed me when I was seriously injured, I really owe her a lot."
Ah, he's so stupid. Nana had to cover her face in shame, didn't she know that Nightingale's sister who smuggled her out and saved her that day?
"When did that happen?" sir Pine asked in surprise, "Why don't I know it?"
"Oh ... Their powers have nothing to do with God, they belong to the witches themselves." Roland opened the curtain and stepped inside, coughed once and changed the subject, "How's the wound?"
"Basically he has recovered," Brian excitedly said, "It seems like he's never been hurt! Your Majesty, with Miss Nana's help, during the Demon Moon, everyone who fought had a chance to survive!"
"As long as they don't die on the spot, there won't be any problem with saving their lives," the prince confirmed, showing Brian that he should stop since the man woke up, "Your name is Titus, right?"
The man named Titus looked confused and asked, "I ... What the hell's going on? Am I dreaming?"
"No," said Roland. "You're alive."
"Are you ...! I've seen His Majesty in the square!" The man suddenly woke up like he was struck by lightning, jumped out of bed, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, are you the one who saved me?"
"It was the daughter of the Pine Family who saved you. She's a witch and has healing abilities."
Nana's mind froze, she immediately said that she was a witch, is she okay? Sure enough, the look in the man's eyes instantly changed, "A woman .. She is a witch? Your Majesty, aren't they demons ..."
"Don't talk shit like that!" When Sir Pine heard him say such words about his daughter, he angrily shouted, "My daughter has nothing to do with the devil, but she instead saved your life, man! Do you think the Devil will reach out to you with the help of his hands?!"
"No, no! Forgive me for being disrespectful," Titus immediately lowered his head, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss Pine."
Nana suddenly felt uncomfortable. If he could, he would immediately come out of the room, but a voice in his mind repeatedly reminded him, "to be strong."
Then when Titus was expelled, Sir Pine anxiously asked, "Is this really alright, Your Majesty? This way, I'm worried, my daughter can no longer lead a normal life."
"You must think from the bright side, Sir Pine," the prince comforted, "We must take advantage in this kind of situation, in order for us to break the deadlock. With this, Nana will be completely free in the future. Otherwise, in the years that followed, one day he would be exposed. Until then, I was worried that he could only live in seclusion. "
... True freedom? Nana had no idea what this meant, because even now she felt so free. But Her Majesty said when they would reach her, Anna's sister would also be able to leave the castle like her. Maybe they can even go back to Karl's teacher's college, right?
