It was because it was the contact Sertina had been waiting for so long.

"okay? Bring the communication tool.”

The Communication Sphere received while contracting with her Magic Tower was placed in front of Sertina.

As the opaque communication port cleared, a man appeared.

Brilliant red hair and blue eyes.

A man with a confident expression on his face that looked a little cheeky rose inside the crystal ball.

The man, dressed in a flashy suit with flaming hair, lowered his head slightly with one hand on his chest.

[Meet the little moon of the Empire. How have you been?]

"okay. Contacting the Master of the Magic Tower directly, it must be quite important."

[Yes, Her Highness has brought news that the princess has been waiting for. This time, the experiment was successful on humans, not mice. You will be satisfied with the performance.]

It felt like being compensated for the painful time of the dinner.

It's only been a month since she submitted a request to the Magic Tower. The animal test results came out in a week!

“You are so fast!”

[I would like to visit and explain, but I heard that an envoy from the Holy Kingdom is currently in the kingdom.]

Seongguk and the Mage Tower were not on good terms.

The empire that designated the Church of Magnus as the state religion also could not openly communicate with the Mage Tower.

'I want to see you soon.'

Since Seonghwang was living in the imperial palace, he couldn't summon the people of the Magic Tower.

So close.

[Her Highness would be disappointed if we just skipped over it. So I wrote a number.]

The maid came.

“The merchant who goes in and out of the imperial palace handed it over to me.”

It seems that he ordered the delivery of medicines to a general merchant.

'They're really good at business.'

The empire had a friendly relationship with the castle.

The relationship between the Mage Tower and the Empire wasn't bad, but they couldn't be openly friendly.

At first, she was reluctant to trade with them, but she fell for the magic tower owner's business skills and became a relationship where she even accepted personal requests like this.

'It's like a devil.'

It appears when you need it and whispers in a subtle way.

The lady-in-waiting took some of the magic tower medicine brought by the merchant and tasted it.

“The stain is over.”

Certina received the magic tower's medicine. A red liquid was contained in a clear bottle.

Inside the crystal ball, the master of the mage wearing black gloves made an elegant gesture.

[Try it once.]

Sertina stared at the medicine in her magic tower.

Again, she thought, she could make a deal with the devil, if only she could stand on her two legs like before.

However, when she faced a drug that no one had seen an effect on, her fears crept in.

'Is it okay?'

Because it's a drug that even ended the blemishes.

Sertina, who had made up her mind, drank the red liquid.

She gulped, and as soon as she swallowed the magic tower's pills, she felt her legs warm.

[Get up once.]

"okay."

Her ladies-in-waiting held her by the arms of Certina and lifted her up. Certina felt that her own legs were different than usual.

“It is done.”

She refused help from her maids.

She felt strength go up in her legs.

She felt like she could get up on her own, like a seven-year-old child, without anyone's help.

Grabbing the arm of her chair, Certina slowly tightened her legs.

'I think it's possible.'

Her feet supported the ground firmly, not drooping like a marionette with her strings cut.

Gathering her courage, Certina removed her hand from her armrest.

She walked slowly on her straight legs.

“Wow, Her Highness the Princess……!”

The ladies-in-waiting around her were moved to tears. The happiest person was Certina herself.

'Stand up! finally!'

Certina smiled brightly.

You can do so much more if you can move alone without the help of others. Plans for the future were being drawn one by one in her head.

Sertina, thrilled that she could walk on her own, wandered around her room.

But just as she was about to get near the window, her legs gave way.

Suddenly, Certina sat down on the floor like a doll whose threads had been cut.

Surprised maids approached.

"majesty! Are you okay?”

“It’s okay, take me in front of the crystal ball.”

Unlike her bewildered maid, Certina was calm. Supported by her attendants, she sat down in front of the crystal ball.

She opened her mouth in the mage tower in the crystal ball that was watching everything.

[It's a test phase, but how is it?]

She said she couldn't walk on her own two legs all her life.

It's only a few steps, but isn't she called a test piece?

The result was satisfactory enough to look forward to the finished product.

He liked her to the point of giving birth to a forgotten hope, but she couldn't easily reveal her feelings to the merchant. Certina completely hid her flirtatious mind.

“If you can’t last a few minutes, it’s not enough.”

The owner of the Magic Tower put his hands together and put on a polite expression.

[It was my own work, but I'm ashamed. How would you like to trade?]

Certina smiled.

It was good that she, like the priest, clearly stated that it was a transaction without wrapping it in half-hearted words of sincerity or sincerity.

“It didn’t live up to my expectations, so I will have to adapt to it. Say it once. What does the owner of the Magic Tower want?”

The Master of the Magic Tower tapped the abacus and offered the price.

The drugs were outrageously expensive. The ladies-in-waiting beside her were startled.

Certina replied that she could prepare that much money right away.

On the other hand, the owner of the magic tower was embarrassed inside.

'I thought she was an ignorant tower princess.'

Tower Princess.

Many people called Sertina, who is self-reclusive, that.

He thought of her as a ignorant chick, but it seemed that he had amassed a considerable personal fortune.

That meant there was a lot of money to be ripped off.

***

I packed my things, stood in front of the wagon, and waited for Cassius.

Time was running out, and Cassius did not appear.

Instead, a paladin approached. The face was covered by a robe with a cape, so it was impossible to tell who it was. Standing in front of me, he took off the white robe over his head.

His calmly arranged black hair and dark green eyes were revealed. It was Jurgen.

“Hello Sir Jurgen.”

“Yes, His Holiness sent me on business.”

“A job?”

“He is chatting with the Emperor of the Empire, but it seems to be getting longer. Today, the sanctuary must accompany me.”

The sanctuary of healing was intended to be visited lightly and only to pray.

Since it was a short schedule, I left for the sanctuary of healing with Jurgen without much worry.

It's quite a distance, but if I hurry up, I should be able to return to the imperial palace before sunset.

“Priest Sonia, raise your hand.”

Jurgen got off his horse and reached out his hand.

"Thank you."

I took Jurgen's hand.

Since she decided to become a priest, she had to do everything herself.

After Cassius, Jurgen was the second person to be escorted as an adult.

He said, 'When I was young, I suffered often.'

I remembered the much smaller Lancelot walking gallantly ahead of me, holding his hand tightly to escort me.

Cook Cook, I laughed when I thought of young Lancelot.

“What do you think?”

“Oh, I was thinking of my younger brother.”

“Are you talking about Count So?”

It was a somewhat trembling voice.

It seemed like it was because they argued lightly last time that they would escort me. It was a discord caused by a small quarrel, so I ignored his attitude and said.

“When I was living in the mansion, my brother always escorted me.”

“My escort looks similar to what the young Countess used to do?.”

It was absolutely not my intention to be mean, but I quickly apologized because I would have felt bad if my actions reminded me of a child.

“Ah, excuse me for the rudeness.”

"no. I know very well that my escort is inexperienced.”

I came down lightly from the carriage, guided by his hand.

He was still holding my hand.

'It's almost time to let go.'

But instead of letting go, I felt the strength of my grip getting stronger.

He couldn't shake his hand from the bizarre pressure.

“When I was living in the mansion, it was before I became a priest.”

"Right."

“Memories of childhood are precious.”

He pressed my fingertips hard. It was not an illusion.

Feeling puzzled, I raised his head and looked at Jurgen.

His eyes, resembling a recording, shimmered as if reminiscing about the distant past.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

"So it's not rude."

Jurgen let go of my hand and took the lead.

“Let’s go.”

I followed, watching his white cloak sway lightly in the wind.

Then he paused.

'nice…… Big!'

Sanctuaries of other attributes had been visited as a group when they were apprentice priests.

It was to pray while making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but I had never seen such a huge sanctuary. Even if I raised my head, I couldn't see the end.

It wasn't just the size that was huge.

It was old and full of moss, but the carvings that decorated the outer walls of the sanctuary were very delicate.

The Sanctuary of Healing was majestic enough to make the 4 Attribute Sanctuaries look ridiculous.

'It was buried deep in the ground.'

Some even broke.

Why?

In games and novels, the role of a healer, a healer, is very important.

Healing Priest is also one of the classes that must be included when traveling.

The four attributes are useful.

Likewise, healing will be very useful.

The power of the Church of Magnus will grow stronger if there are more healing priests who can heal diseases and wounds.

It didn't seem necessary to hide it deep in the ground so that no one could find it.

'It's a pity.'

Looking up at the Sanctuary of Healing, I smiled bitterly.

I had already given up on the final awakening of divine power.

But when I looked at the huge sanctuary, I felt it was a waste.

“Priest Sonia.”

I stopped to look at the sanctuary.

“We are almost there.”

Guided by Jurgen's call, I entered the Sanctuary of Healing.
