Chapter 199: Curing Sophie [4]

Arthur stepped out of the room with a smile on his face, but it dimmed the moment his eyes met mine.

“Everything.”

“Haa… Kael—”

I assured Arthur before he could start consoling me in any way.

And why would I be?

So there was no need for me to feel bad about the words of an individual who had no value in my eyes, except serving as a leash on Arthur.

I had a vision before me, and to achieve that, such petty things were just pebbles on the road ahead.

Loyalty…

All of them were things that could be considered important for maintaining stability in an organization. After all, if your subordinates had no feeling of loyalty or trust for you, then the chances of them sacrificing their lives for you would be negligible.

It could reduce the efficiency of operations, but—

Most of the soldiers were considered criminals in the world, so working for me was the only way for them to survive.

I had already devised a solution for that, and it would be enacted soon.

Arthur, seeing the firmness in my voice, decided to let go of the topic, though I could feel the sympathetic gaze from Julien as we walked to one of the corners of the hallway.

“An hour if her body is least reactive to the mana stone, or else the issue will be solved within minutes.”

Arthur was a logical person, but at this moment, I had a feeling that all of his logic and wisdom had been sealed somewhere, as all his questions were so illogical.

The girl had been plagued with mana poisoning for the entirety of her life, so even if the treatment took a year… what difference would it make?

“A father’s worry.”

I felt a slight tickling sensation due to his hot breath, though the guy retreated before I could lecture him about it.

The wait wasn’t long, as Sophie’s voice came from within the room.

Just as I stepped in and turned to my right, my gaze froze for a second longer than necessary.

When I had asked her to change, I thought she would change into some shirt that was cropped at the end, like the ones that had been trending in the market recently, but—

Sophie’s question made me look into her eyes as I sorted out the words in my mind.

What Sophie was currently wearing wasn’t a shirt but an undergarment that was somewhere between a sports bra and a regular one.

I glanced at Arthur to see his reaction, only to find him staring into my eyes.

“It’s alright. Let’s begin.”

Being burdened with mana poisoning made one’s body so weak that doing normal daily movements was a task in itself.

If she wasn’t going to go out and couldn’t walk or live like other people, then there was no point in buying such clothes.

“There’s no need to sit, you can just lie down on the bed.”

I moved closer to her, sitting on the edge of the bed.

There were many methods by which a person could be cured of mana poisoning, given that a mana stone was used in the process.
