Chapter 2

Sena has not shown her face to many people since childhood; only the most trusted people in the capital know who she is. Her parents did this to protect her after she became Milrelas's student. So, she was okay walking in the capital with minimal security. But her parents still sent the strongest guards with her: Arthur, who was trying not to look at her because of the accident, and Harlow, a middle-aged man who was King Guard for decades.

Princess, where are we going? Asked Arthur.

You can't call her princess when we are not in Castle Boy. Said Harlow with a stone-cold face.

But how am I supposed to call her?

Sena, by her name, of course, she is now just another wealthy lady.

Harlow is right, Arthur, just call me by my name. 

After a while, they arrived in front of the biggest hospital in Luidrel, and Hood waited for them in front of the door.

Lady Sena, It is my pleasure to see you.

Hood ignored Harow and Arthur. Harow didn't care, but Arthur didn't like Hood; he saw him often at the palace, trying to get closer to the princess.

Hood family Pormsen was known for their healing ability, and their wealth mainly came from hospitals, but not this one. It belonged to the kingdom.

However, even with that, they had a lot of influence, and King let Pormsen govern the hospital as a sign of trust.

Hood, can you show me where they are?

Of course, Lady Sena, but I'm not sure you can do much. It looks like it's too late.

Sena didn't come here for a walk. She wanted to try to heal the corrupted, fallen soldiers corrupted by the magic of the Demon God on the battlefield. They couldn't be cured by normal means; only her Teacher, Milrela, managed to destroy corruption.

Sena walked into the hospital as they passed by injured soldiers. It was hard to watch, especially for young people like Sena, Arthur, and Hood. Harlow had already experienced battle, so his stomach was calm at this sight.

While walking, Sena felt that her grimoire was pulsing; this was the first time it reacted. What could it possibly be, wondered Sena.

They entered the room where the corrupted soldiers were and could see the corruption on their bodies; something was spreading on their skin and destroying it. Sena came closer to the men on the beds. They looked dead, and it seemed like the corruption had been there for some time. Sena made light magic sight and tried to heal one of them, but the corruption on their skin ignored it entirely. Sena felt powerless as she just took a step back.

It is alright, lady Sena. Nobody expects you to heal them before you become a true saint. Said Hood.

He is right, lady Sena. You just need to train more. 

Arthur was surprised by Harlow's comments. He had often been around this man and was hard on everyone except her.

He gave Hood a sharp look as if he had just lost in something.

Sena had her head down as she slowly made her way out of the room.

Lady Sena, you can heal other people, right? Aded Arthur.

Yes, I can, and I will. Sena said excitedly that she couldn't heal corruption but could help with many other things.

Hood, please let me help around the hospital for today.

That won't be a problem, my lady. You just need to dress like other healers, and I will give you a healer's office today. Nobody will notice the difference.
