Lelin gave a bottle full of medicine he took out to that demi-human girl carefully.
"Drink it, it will make your reduce your pain, and have a chance to cure your illness."
With cautious acceptance, the girl gingerly took the bottle from Lelin's outstretched hand. Her slender fingers traced the intricate patterns etched onto the glass, and her curiosity piqued.
Lelin smiled gently as the girl slowly twisted the cap, revealing the medicine's contents. The air was filled with a subtle, yet enchanting aroma, as if a garden of healing herbs had been captured within the bottle.
Inhaling deeply, the girl's eyes widened ever so slightly, a glimmer of brightness flickering within them.
Lelin observed this with a mix of relief and excitement, knowing that the medicine had already begun to work its magic. With a nod of gratitude towards Lelin, the girl raised the bottle to her lips and took a deep sip.
The liquid flowed smoothly down her throat, carrying with it the promise of relief and healing. Lelin held their breath, their gaze fixed on the girl's face, searching for any signs of improvement.
As the last drop of medicine disappeared, the girl lowered the empty bottle, tilting her head in confusion. Whole bottle of medicine only reduced her pain she endured only a little bit.
Lelin's voice carried a hint of anticipation as he took the empty bottle from her and asked, "Do you notice any difference?"
She nodded slowly in response, "My headache has lessened. I'll be able to sleep better now."
Upon hearing her words, Lelin let out a long sigh filled with frustration and sadness. It seemed as though he had hoped the medicine he had given her would completely cure her and alleviate her pain. His ears drooped slightly, indicating his current state of disappointment.
Morsan, who had been observing the entire scene without interruption, asked with a concerned tone, "Lelin, do you know her?"
"This girl's name is Lupiney. She is a unique halfling, born from the union of a werewolf and a girl from the dog demi-human race.
Like me, she is a victim of war, having lost both her parents in the conflict.
As a result, she was enslaved by humans and brought here to be sold. Unfortunately, her body has been plagued by strange illnesses since birth, causing her to constantly cough up blood and suffer from severe headaches.
However, due to her rare heritage as a halfling, the slave trader intends to sell her to a noble from a nearby territory instead of disposing of her.
If we had arrived just a little later, she would have been sold to Idol Rabier."
"...To that fat fucker? damn goodness, this girl is really lucky that we made it in time and saved her."
Morsan couldn't help but express his frustration as he recalled the image of an overweight middle-aged nobleman, Idol Rabier.
This nobleman, with his disheveled mop of frilled, strawberry-blonde hair and a small mustache in the same color, resembled two tiny "leaves" above his upper lip. It was a sight that was both comical and repulsive.
The mere thought of him makes Morsan angry.
Idol Rabier's unwavering devotion to the Church of the Three Heroes made him even more detestable.
Despite the BLUE faction's efforts to bring positive change to the church's beliefs and teachings, with the support of common people and the royal family, Idol Rabier twisted those beliefs to serve his twisted agenda.
His reasoning was flawed, his actions were cruel and unjust. In every aspect of his life, Idol Rabier's deep-seated hatred for demi-humans was evident. He took sadistic pleasure in their suffering, going to great lengths to ensure their pain and torment.
It was not uncommon for him to harm innocent children, finding pleasure in their cries and pleas for mercy.
The mere thought of such cruelty enraged both Lelin and Morsan.
Recently, Prince Egone's shadows uncovered the true extent of Idol Rabier's sadism.
He was not just a nobleman with twisted beliefs, but a merciless torturer who knew no bounds.
His abusive treatment of slaves was infamous, and he had no reservations about sacrificing his soldiers for personal gain.
The lives of numerous demi-human slaves were tragically lost at his hands, serving as a testament to his depravity.
Despite the abundance of evidence discovered by Lelin and his team regarding his crimes, he managed to evade punishment by manipulating his subordinates and framing them.
Lelin also uncovered that the Royal guards responsible for protecting Prince Egone on Carl Mira's island were unlawfully utilizing their authority, stemming from their affiliation with his sub-noble branch.
To expose their association with Rabier and strip him of his noble title, Prince Egone temporarily halted the execution of these Royal guards. However, all their endeavors proved futile.
Lenin nodded his head as he couldn't more agree with Morsan's words. The girl in front of them was really lucky to be not sent to him. But remembering her illness still couldn't be cured, Lelin let out a frustrated grunt.
"Despite our efforts to rescue the girl from that despicable person, her illness persists... Recently, I went as far as purchasing the Elixir of Yggdrasil at a considerable cost to heal her, but unfortunately, her health only showed a slight improvement. I'm at a loss as to how to find a cure for her illness now. It would be fortunate if she made it through to the next autumn, considering her declining health."
"...W-wait!! you just gave her the Elixir of Yggdrasil?!"
Morsan couldn't help but shout at him in shock.
