"Remember last year when I said I'd thank you in advance for taking care of me, here I am... Hehehe..." [Diana]
"That's not even funny... Please take better care of yourself!" [Natasha]
"In my defense, none of this is my fault." [Diana]
"Yes, but you should still take better care of yourself." [Natasha]
As she said that, she poke me with a needle and started giving me water and mana through a line and a drip.
There are several civilians, knights and adventurers who are wounded because of the curse, some are more severe than others, but the three who need medical attention the most are me, Saintess Rumia and Sister Ophelia herself.
While I am just for bleeding in my abdomen as well as severe mana deficit, Saintess Rumia is because of her very severe mana depletion. Her breathing is ragged. She's almost unconscious. She can barely hold on, unlike me, who is still able to make funny comments.
However, the one who undoubtedly needs the most attention is definitely Sister Ophelia. She's unconscious after all this is over. She couldn't even give an answer. Her body is severely malnourished, according to the one who treats her. Her mana is almost non-existent at this point. She definitely needs the most treatment out of all of us.
"Yes, we will begin their treatment as soon as possible" [Cardinal Davis].
"What we need besides their obvious mana replenishment are their other medical condition. Diana, even though she has a blessed bloodline, was stabbed twice in a short period of time. I worry about the damage to her internal organs. Saintess Rumia doesn't have any other medical conditions that need attention, but without proper nutrition, her condition will definitely deteriorate quickly. Her Highness Ophelia Vars, on the other hand... She needs an extended stay in the hospital, to say the least" [Natasha].
Both the hospital and the church go hand in hand in treating us and the masses. They're busier than usual today, thanks to all that's going on.
The three of us are being closely watched. Of the three of us, only I can look around left and right on thiis room and see what they're trying to do to us.
Saintess Rumia, her body temperature continues to rise. She's definitely having trouble breathing now. She also cries out in pain, calling out to the goddess several times. This is a first. She's the Goddess' favorite daughter, so I'm sure the Goddess will help her, but as a mostly non-combatant, it hurts me to see her like this.
Sister Ophelia, get that big, scary needle in several places. At least Saintess Rumia reacted a little when she was poked by needles, but Sister Ophelia, none... There's no reaction at all when the good sister pokes her with a big needle. I was the one who flinched when I saw her being poked with that big needle.
Before I rest and go to sleep, I want to know what's going on outside. Sure, the devil is defeated and the devil's corpse is taken to the city to be examined by the magic department, but I wanted to know more.
How do the Amlethians react to the devil's body? How do they react knowing that their beloved queen is the one who beheaded the devil? What is the overall damage caused by the curse and the devil? How will my family, who are relatively unharmed, deal with all of this, there's so much going on in my head, so I decided to use Whisper of the Wind just to get an idea, but unfortunately
"Little Diana! You need to rest! Don't use any more of your spells and mana!" [Cardinal Davis]
"By the goddess, I hope you realize how serious your condition actually is" [Natasha].
"I'm sorry... I just... Couldn't rest well... I also wanted to know what's happening outside before I passed out and fell asleep" [Diana].
I make a puppy dog look at Cardinal Davis and Doctor Natasha. Knowing that I am still a little girl (I have to use my age to my advantage) and that I am begging them, I am sure they will understand and let me know what happened.
"Sigh... Fine. You are one of the people who contributed to this incident. Her Highness Queen Amleth is preparing to adress about the events of today in a few hours. Knights, adventurers and the Church are mobilizing all available resources to help those affected. Of course, the people are in a panic about what has happened, but... Amlethians are strong, especially after what Her Highness Ophelia Vars and the two princesses said earlier. I would say it won't take long, in fact, I'm sure this whole thing will be over before we even realize it" [Cardinal Davis].
"Hearing that from Your Holiness, my mind is at ease. For now, please rest. Knowing you, I'm sure you wanted to help others, but please help yourself first. How can you give to others if you're not able to?" [Natasha]
"Yes" [Diana]
I guess everything will turn out fine as usual... Let's just go to sleep. I'm too tired right now.
