Chapter 578: Yes, My Lady (1/2)

After listening to Aria's words, Leon felt sorrowful in his heart before he sighed, ”This girl… why is she so stupid?”

Although he was unsure if Duna's personality was subtly affected by Lumi, he knew that while she usually acted coldly, she was, in fact, quite a warm person inside.

At least, Leon thought so.

”I have thought hard for a treatment solution, but I am clueless as to where to even begin,” Supreme Elder Haldir said with a sigh, ”I am helpless here…”

”I understand. Thank you, Marquis Haldir. Don't worry too much. As long as her core is still safe, I have a way to fix her,” Leon said before he requested, ”Can I trust you to guard the outside with Aria while I carry out the treatment process?”

”Naturally. If that is your wish, young prince,” Supreme Elder Haldir complied with a slight bow of respect.

At the same time, a trace of doubt surfaced in his eyes. There seem to be something slightly different about the young prince.

The Supreme Elder could not quite put his finger on it, but he was getting this vague feeling that the young prince might have become a Transcendent.

However, he was puzzled because he could not feel the young prince's Transcendent Aura.

'How strange…' Supreme Elder Haldir thought with furrowed brows.

At the same time, Aria glanced at Leon and asked, ”You want me to leave too?”

”Un,” Leon nodded.

”I can only feel relieved if you are the one guarding outside with Marquis Haldir. No one must disturb me during the treatment.” Leon gazed into Aria's eyes seriously while gently caressing her Aria's cheeks.

Feeling Leon's deep trust in her, Aria solemnly nodded, ”You can leave it to me. Please help Duna recover quickly.”

”I will.”

…

Shortly after, Leon was left alone with the unconscious Duna while Aria and Supreme Elder Haldir headed outside to guard the entrance.

Leon gazed at Duna's sleeping face filled with cracks before he sighed, ”I took on great risks to prevent you from relying on the Destruction Law and harming yourself…”

”…And yet you still went ahead got yourself battered to this state…silly girl.” Leon shook his head helplessly before studying Duna's condition carefully.

”Now that I have True Grandmist Energy and have become quite proficient in the study of the soul, I should be able to fix you on my own…” Leon muttered in thought.

Placing one over Duna's chest without contact, he began to channel True Grandmist towards his palms before they were sprinkled over Duna's body.

In a short moment, Duna's body was suffused with a soft silver glow, and the terrible cracks on her body began to close at a noticeable rate like erasing lines.

”It's working as I expected,” Leon narrowed his eyes in observation before he suddenly noticed Duna's eyes were opened.

However, she was glaring at his palm.

When he realized that his hand had unwittingly started groping one of her twin peaks, his expression froze.

Duna shifted her gaze to meet Leon's eyes before he forcefully retracted his hand.

”Aiya. Look at this naughty hand of mine, moving on its own. It deserves to be punished.” Leon slapped his naughty hand with a  wry smile.

After Duna glared at Leon for a moment with a frosty expression, she simply closed her eyes again.

However, Leon could have sworn he noticed a trace of yearning in Duna's eyes just before she closed them.
