Chapter 50: 031 I a Banquet -2 (Part Two)

“I went to look for you in your room, but you were not there Where have you been?”

The caring grandfather asked her with a concerned expression, and Alice replied with a srandfather”

Rapahel smiled back in response “You rese our far-too intense curiosity I’m worried that you may harm your health if you keep this up, child Ah, and also, please do besomewhere in the palace even as we speak Do pay extra caution not to run into him”

Alice flinched a little when she heard that

Due to her excessive curiosity, she had recently ended up ‘spending’ the whole night with the Seventh I would occur when her grandfather learns of this matter?

Maybe he’d even seek out the I a crosier

Alice did her best to for up healthy and tough all thanks to randdaughter!” [1]

Raphael lovingly held her tightly She srandfather’s head

“Will you be alright?”

He asked her again with another deeply worried expression

Even if his granddaughter was praised as a genius, the task they were about to perfor shoulder to bear

“I’ll be fine, grandfather”

With those words, Raphael handed over a bird beak mask and a medical robe to her “Don’t push yourself too hard, child Well then Let us go inside”

Alice put on theat the door of the First Imperial Prince’s room Raphael knocked, opened the door, and stepped inside

The First I on the bed His body was rotting away even now Judging fro about wildly on top of theand unbearable

The healers wearing the bird beak rabbed the prince’s four flailing liht to seal his ic was cast on him

Alice lent her support from their side

She kept her eyes locked on the First Ih the clear lenses of the mask

Cold sweat trickled down her body This one single act of trying to conserve his rotting body had kept thereater attention so that divinity wouldn’t accidentally get into his heart tainted by the curse

She was praised as a ‘genius’, a ‘once in a generation talent’, or even as a ‘girl who ht be a saintess’ And yet, even so more than yet another ineffective healer in front of the First Imperial Prince Luan

The treatment process came to an end seven hours later

The healers opened the door and exited fro their masks were of despondency They either held their heads in helplessness or plopped dohere they stood Soroans

Alice was no different from them She carried a forlorn expression underneath the mask

“Alice,” Archbishop Raphael called out to her as he took off his mask He too was soaked in sweat fro that she didn’t respond, his gaze shi+fted towards her The girl was si, her mask still on her face It was probably due to h the sale time

“…Don’t blame yourself This is an impossible task, after all”

Alice flinched a little when she heard that word “Impossible…”

Raphael watched her blur the end of her word and iue

She wanted to save the First Irandfather passing the ‘sentence of death’ on the dying prince right in front of her eyes was clearly not the right thing to do

“…I’o ahead and rest in your roo back to the Imperial Family”

She powerlessly nodded her head

With staggering steps, she walked on the palace’s corridor However, the very th abandoned her legs and she ended up squatting down

‘I couldn’t heal hiolden locks were soaked through and theexpression could now be seen with the ment, and yet… why couldn’t I…?’

She already knew that she was the ‘saintess’ She knew better than anyone that she was still in the et to wield an even greater power than right now

Even then, she couldn’t shake off this gnawing feeling that even if her groas completed, it’d still be impossible to heal the First Imperial Prince Luan
