Chapter 32
Zain was unfazed by Sevenus' glare.
He looked like "Zain the rchant".
"The treatnt is not over in one session. You may not know this, but the only way to cure Malone's disease is to expel the corpses of Malone worms from the patient's body completely."
"So you an..."
"As you expected, you have to visit our temple until the Malone worms are expelled. As often as possible."
Sebenus' brows furrowed.
He clenched his lips and teeth. Seeing his reaction, I asked,
"How often do you an?"
"Hmm, it would be best if you co every day."
At that, Sevenus clenched his fist tightly.
"Every day?"
"Yes. That's right."
Zain still had a smile on his lips. Sevenus glared at him and reluctantly loosened his fist. He seed to want to observe him more.
Then, Zain rummaged through his clothes and said,
"Let's start the treatnt."
What Zain took out of his pocket was a glass bottle containing Pasrel poison. Fortunately, Sevenus didn't seem to know what it was. That's good.
"What is that?"
"It's a dicine. Young Master Revelof, please drink it."
Zain handed
a glass bottle with one dose of Pasrel poison prepared in advance. As I took it, my wrist was grabbed.
"Brother?"
Sevenus' gaze was not on
but on Zain.
"What do you think this is and tell him to drink it?"
His words were short and clear.
"I told you. It's a dicine."
Zain seed a bit annoyed by Sevenus' sensitive attitude. But he still added with a smile,
"I have already proven everything to the Countess. But if you don't want it, Young Master Revelof doesn't have to get treated."
[E/N: Zain is referring to chapter 30 - when the Countess used the 'Sphere of Truth' (a lie detector) to interrogate Revelof.]
Zain's attitude was like 'I don't care what you do, I have nothing to lose'.
Seeing this, Sevenus let go of . He knew there was nothing he could do.
Sevenus' eyes turned to . He looked indifferent, but he cared about . He's still my family, right?
"Don't worry, brother."
I tried to smile at him and drank the Pasrel poison.
As the poison went down my throat, sothing hot ca back up.
"Cough!"
Blood flowed with a cough. It was much less than the first ti I took Pasrel poison. There was only a little bit of blood on my lips.
The effort to take the poison on ti was paid off.
Unlike
who was happy,
"Revy!"
Sevenus was startled to see the blood. Zain also looked a little surprised, but he wasn't too flustered because I had warned him beforehand.
Sevenus hastily handed
his handkerchief with trembling hands. Then, he got up from his seat and rushed to Zain.
"What did you do?!"
Sevenus, who didn't know what was going on, grabbed Zain by the collar.
Oh no, my slave will be in trouble!
I quickly wiped off the blood and ran to Sevenus. I grabbed his arm and shouted,
"Brother, I'm fine!"
Sevenus, who was about to hit Zain with his fist, looked at . His eyes widened a bit.
"Revy? Are you really okay?"
"Yes. I really am. Look. I'm fine. I feel less tired than before."
I acted as if I was perfectly healthy. Then, Sevenus let go of Zain's collar.
"Haah, you scared ."
He sighed deeply and brushed his ssy hair roughly.
-I would have been scared too if I were him. Didn't I, too, freak out the first ti you drank the poison?
'Haha... Sorry.'
There was a brief silence in the reception room. Zain, who had been grabbed by the collar by Sevenus, fixed his clothes and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, if you don't trust , you can check with your doctor. Young Master Revelof's condition should be healthier than before."
Zain had regained his composure by now, but Sevenus was still glaring at him.
"What did you feed Revy? Poison?"
Then Zain smiled faintly.
"I can't tell you that."
"What?"
"Hmm. A trade secret, shall we say?"
"Ha... You call yourself a religious leader, but you are blinded by greed?"
Sevenus' eyes seed to glow. I sighed inwardly.
Zain, do you have to provoke him so much?
Well, he must be annoyed because he was grabbed by the collar.
"No. That's not it. We plan to announce the cure for Malone's disease to the world when Young Master Revelof's treatnt is successfully completed. So that no one in the world suffers from this disease."
Yes, yes. That's what I want.
But, Sevenus' eyes were still irritated.
"That sounds like you're experinting on Revy."
Oh. That could be true. This is my mistake. I hurriedly called Sevenus.
"Brother. I'm fine. Whether I'm used or experinted on. I just want to be free from pain as soon as possible."
Although Sevenus seems to hate the Kyros Faith right now... I had no choice.
I didn't expect him to care for
so much.
I haven't had any good mories with Sevenus. Since he, and the original Revelof, were very young in Revelof's mory.
We weren't on good terms, were we?
"If that's what you want... I understand."
Fortunately, Sevenus' expression softened a bit at my words.
Phew. I breathed a sigh of relief and Sevenus asked Zain.
"Is the treatnt over for today?"
He was back to being polite. He's really sothing.
"Yes, that's right."
Zain answered with a business smile.
"Okay. We'll decide on the next treatnt after we check your condition, Revy. Let's go, Revy."
Sevenus pushed
out of the reception room by force. Thanks to him, I left the reception room without even greeting Zain.
Sevenus didn't say a word until he got on the carriage. His mouth opened only after the carriage started moving.
"Revy, are you really okay?"
Sevenus asked in a sigh-like tone.
"Yes, I am. It's easier to breathe than before."
Of course, my condition wasn't improved solely by the 'Pasrel Poison'.
It was mostly thanks to Kyros' divine power becoming stronger, and also the physical training with Fanatic.
Anyway, when I got to the mansion and got a blood test from the doctor, I would be able to know the progress of Malone's Disease accurately. That's when I would make a precise judgnt.
"Alright, I see."
Sevenus closed his mouth tightly afterward.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the mansion, Sevenus went to find the doctor. I returned to my room after receiving Paul's greeting. I lay down on the bed right away.
It would take so ti for Dr. Frank, the Holden family's doctor, to arrive. I planned to roll around in my room until then.
[Master.]
As soon as I lay down comfortably, Zain contacted .
"What is it?"
[It's about your brother, sir. I thought I was going to die from suffocation because of my collar that he grabbed earlier. No matter how angry he is, is this how a knight should behave?]
Zain grumbled. It sounded like he wanted
to compensate him for his injury.
"Ugh. Fine. I'll give you more allowance."
[You're truly a master!]
The guy who was acting all hurt until a mont ago beca cheerful as soon as money was ntioned.
I cut off the communication with him and sighed.
"Ugh."
This money-grubber. He always talks about money, money, money, whenever sothing happens.
The good thing was that I had a lot of wealth. Revelof's personal assets were considerable.
As I was weak since childhood, I saved up all my pocket money and had a lot of assets.
If I had to compare, it would be more than what Kyros Faith owned.
Well, I was still the second son of a noble family, so I had to have this much.
Knock, knock.
With a knocking sound, the door opened. Sevenus and Dr. Frank ca in. Dr. Frank had a warm impression and he was sweating as if he had just run.
He must've heard the story from Sevenus on his way here. As soon as he entered and greeted , he ca to my side and made
sit down while starting his job.
"Then, I'll draw your blood, Young Master."
A blood drawing tool with a sharp needle appeared from Dr. Frank's bag.
-Ouch, that must hurt.
Kyros groaned as if he was more hurt than .
-I can't stand to watch this!
Why is he overreacting more than the person involved?
'I'm fine.'
anwhile, the blood drawing process was over.
"The result will co out in about an hour."
Dr. Frank wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurried out of the room with my blood.
Sevenus watched the process and looked at
for a while before leaving the room.
Knock, knock.
The knocking sound woke
up. When did I fall asleep?
"Yes?"
I cleared my throat and answered. Sevenus ca in.
"Revy, were you sleeping?"
"Yes? Yes."
Unlike
who was calm, Sevenus looked very tense.
At that mont, another knock sound was heard and Dr. Frank ca in.
He ran hastily like before and shouted.
"Young, Young Master!"
Dr. Frank opened his eyes wide and shouted.
"It worked!"
Dr. Frank's eyes were filled with emotion as he said that in one breath, Sevenus staggered. His legs seed to have lost strength.
I already knew this fact, but I pretended to be happy and acted.
"Really?"
"Yes! It is! The Malone worms have moved much less than before, and your body's nutrients have increased noticeably!"
Then, Dr. Frank continued his explanation. It was hard to understand because it was mixed with the empire's dical knowledge, but anyway, it ant that my condition got better.
"Just in case, I tested each drawn blood with magic tool, but they all showed the sa reaction!"
The diagnosis in this world was done using magic items, so there was almost no misdiagnosis.
"This is nothing less than a discovery of the century!"
Dr. Frank shed tears and rejoiced and Sevenus looked relieved next to him.
"Phew. I'm really glad."
He said that and put his hand on my shoulder. But sohow, Sevenus' eyes seed moist.
Could it be, he's crying...?
After Dr. Frank left, there was a lively atmosphere in the mansion.
It was because there was finally a breakthrough in my disease. Dr. Frank asked
and Sevenus what had happened, but we didn't open our mouths.
It would be announced to the world in the na of Kyros Faith later.
Dr. Frank was very curious but he had to leave.
'Besides, Pasrel poison is a substance that can't be detected by blood anyway.'
There was no risk of the treatnt being leaked.
Anyway, when there was hope that I could get better, the servants of the mansion were very happy.
Especially Paul, who cried like a waterfall. The servants were happy as if it was their own business.
That's how it was late at night.
When I was resting comfortably in my room, soone burst into the room with the door wide open.
