chapter 25 : recovery

"excuse me, ?" say the archduke who his voice turn colder at the girl remark.

"i can heal her eye," stella said bluntly.

"Is this kind of sick jokes and is not funny at all, duke arbento, since we're best friend, i won't ask you to leave my estate, but i hope you give me an explanation for this, ?" ask the archduke who releasing an omnious aura, that he directly show to scare stella, but stella doesn't even budge.

"is as she said, stella found a job request in the guild to find a way to cure your daughter, when she come to this estate the guard kick her out, saying to go away, so she came to me for help," say philif to jeremy who nod understanding what the situation are.

is true, that a few years ago he made that request with an overwhelm reward, the adventurer itself was really tempting to cure the girl, but after a hundred thousand try, eventually they give up since even the high potion can't even heal her eye.

one of the adventurer say that only the legendary elixir that maybe can heal her, but until now, no one manage to obtain that or know how to make it.

"Can you really cure my sister eye, ?" ask the boy to stella who nod.

"mom, dad, let's give her a chance, i want to see if she can help my sister, furthurmore we won't lose anything even if she fail," say the boy who try to convince the parent to give stella a chance.

"alright, i give you a chance," say the archduke to stella who nod, as them guide her to her daughter room.

"this is her room," say the archduke who open the door, "lucilia, are you asleep, ?" ask the archduke who look at her daughter who look at the windom in her room.

"Oh, welcome father, i don't know that you enter the room," say the girl who walk toward the archduke while using her hand to feel her surrounding so she won't be accidently bump into something or someone.

the archduke heart warm up, see his child trying so hard just to greet him, it make the archduke feel that he has fail as a father, because he cant find a cure for her daughter.

at that time lucilia past her father where her hand accidentaly reach stella ear, 'what is this, it feel like an ear,' though lucilia who the release stella ear and reach her tail.

"kya," say stella who at that time try to release lucilia hand, she still feel a little sensitive when someone touch her tail, and right now lucilia literally hug her tail like a pillow, thinking that she was some kind of fluffy doll.

"father, thank you for the gift," say lucilia who hug stella fluffy tail while thanking her father, it feel really soft and warm when she hug her.

"lucilia, that not a gift," say his father, "it's a person," say the archduke who then make lucilia release stella tail.

"i'm sorry, i though you were a doll that my father buy for me," say lucilia who bow to stella with her face being red out of embarresment since she just casually touch and poke her tail and ear.

"n-no, is ok, don't worry, it just feel a little weird," say stella who try to hide her tail behind her back, since she doesn't want lucilia to touch it again.

"lucilia, please sit down, the girl that you just touch is a healer who come here to heal your eye," say archduke to his daughter who widen her eye.

"c-can you fix my eye, ?" ask lucilia to stella with hope in her voice to the person infront of her.

"we don't know until we try," say stella who walk toward lucilia and put both of her hand in front of her eye.

'is the first time i use you, so please work,' though stella who begin to pour her magic and activate her spell, "recovery," say stella who at that time.

at that time lucilia open her eye as she saw a blurry image before she saw a brown fox girl with a golden eye in front of her.

"hello, my name is lucilia vincent, you have such a beautiful face, is nice to meet you," say lucilia to the person in front her.

"nice to meet you as well, my name is stella auburt," say stella who introduce herself, who then raise her hand to lucilia who see that and also decide to raise her hand and shake their hand together while forming a smile.

Upon seing that scen, there was a moment of silent in the room, at that time they watch the little fox girl raise her hand to the arcduke vincent daughter and use some kind of healing magic.

'the kid is still really young, maybe because she was naive and think that she can heal her, with some kind of healing magic, but we already had a lot of magician who can use some kind of healing magic and had more experience, but in the end they couldn't do anything,' though the arcduke who at that time witness the start of a miracle.

at that time no one believe it, how stella raise her hand in air to perform a handshake with the blind girl, but the girl at that time look at stella hand before she raise her hand as well as they perform a handshake of greeting.

"i can't believe it," say the archduke at that moment, her daughter was cure, there no doubt about it, if she still can't see a thing that she won't be able to notice the little fox who raise her hand.

"lucilia," say the mother who at that time was crying a river, at that moment the two girl notice the other who look at them with a lot of mixed emotion.

"mot.. her.. is that you," say lucilia who at that time crying, tear start flow of her eye, is the first time she saw her mother, and she was really beautiful.

"i'm glad you were cure," say the archduke to his daughter who look at him, she may never see his face, but she can clearly remember his voice.

"father... and brother as well," say lucilia who at that time running toward them and jump at her father who widely open and give the girl a warmly hug that everyone and come closer and hug the girl.

stella who saw that, form a smile on her face, before at that time got a headpat from the duke itself.

"you did a great job," say the duke to stella who just give a smile before they walk outside the room since they don't want to disturb them.

at that time the duke and stella decide to sit at the living, waiting the arcduke and the rest to finish.

"I apologize," say the duke to stella.

"For what, ?" Ask stella to the duke who suddenly apalogize to her.

"For the threat i was going to give to you if you failed," say the duke to stella who remember the threat that the duke give to the girl bwfore coming here.

"Is alright sir, i know that you have a good relationshop with the archduke, so is a common for people to give that kind of reaction," say stella who understand of the duke previous reaction and threat to her, since she herself was also the same for those who try to harm her love one.

while waiting, the duke had a thousand though in his mind, is a good thing that stella manage to cure his friend daughter, but the problem is after that, if this kind of information was leaked out to the public then stella will definitely attract a lot of unnecessary attention, especially from the royal family who likely try o get stella at their side.

'after this, me and philif need to talk about all of this,' though the duke who sip his tea, while waiting for the archduke and his wife.
