EXCAFOL DITORRIA POV:
"You won't stay for the night?" Rose asks me in with a small and trembling voice.
After seeing Kevin fighting like that, she must be proud and irritated at the same time. I wonder why Borgas proposed that match. That guy clearly had ulterior motives but I can't see what he wants to achieve yet.
"I will go back. What happened here today is a bit too much for me to swallow. And Kalok the madman is dead. This is something a lot of slaves and free citizens will want to celebrate. Besides, I was the one who brought him here, they might ask for my testimony later on."
Saying so, I went back to my house that night. Once inside, a smile appears on my face and I can't get rid of it. Thinking that the guy who savagely murdered my daughter because she refused to marry him is dead.
"Finally, finally, you were avenged." I am sitting in the hallway while crying like an idiot. Even though I promised I wouldn't cry if this day was to come.

The next day, I go back to the Grandcross mansion, and sure enough. There are guards everywhere now. Royal knights. Their armor with the feathers on top of the helmets and gold lines on the left shoulders are as always beautiful. Even though the guys wearing them are real scums abusing their powers.
Inside the mansion, I see Lord Demether and his butler and greet them. The butler, Andre, indicates the inner part of the mansion when I ask where the boy. The inner part of the Grandcross mansion doesn't have bedrooms. It is mostly warehouses and the tower where they used to keep traitors for tortu- Ah, I see. I understand.
I go to the inner part of the mansion and directly to the tower. If my hypothesis is correct, he can only be there. And he is. The top room of the tower. When I reach the top, I see maids running in and out of the room with blood-soaked bandages and hot water. Then I hear screams.
"He is having another seizure! Hold him!"
"I am trying!!" Those are Secily and Rose voices. I rush and enter the room only to see Rose and Mark holding the kid while Secily is using Angas of light to heal him. Just from the brilliance of that green light, I can guess it is at least a medium-class spell. And she is sweating bullets. The situation can be good. I go to Mark side without even asking anything and I also use a medium-class script: deep body healing. When she sees me, Secily smiles gently and speaks.
"You didn't have to. Thank you, teacher."
"Well, I can't let a child I know die on me a second time."
After five minutes, the seizure stops. Kevin stills looks pale.
"What is his status?" I ask Secily after we sit down on the floor.
"He lost a lot of blood. All his left side ribs are broken. He has a skull fracture. And both legs have mini fractures: basically, he might not see tomorrow."
"Your diagnostic is as good as ever. What can we do…No, what should we do?"
"We must save him, is it not obvious?!" Rose enters the conversation, she must be thinking we want to give up.
"Of course I will, but the problem now is the energy and time. We need to apply medium-class scripts for about 10 days if we want to save him. Even with teacher here, we won't hold."
"Then use mine, is there no script for transfer?"
"Rose, calm down first. Secily didn't even finish." Mark is trying to calm his wife. She is the hot temper type so without him, she might do something crazy. I have seen her before.
"Secily, what do you propose?" I have an idea of what she wants to say, but I should ask just in case.
"I think we can use a high-class spell. I know only one but it should be enough. We will need to use once every three days to also let his body rest and-"
"Let's do it then, what the matter?" Rose, you are too hasty. But it is not like I don't understand her.
"There is no matter. If you guys all agree. Then we can start." The script Secily wants to use is one I know: RESTRUCTURE. Instead of actually heal him, it will restructure his body so that it can heal itself after. The only problem is that its effect is permanent. Modifying his body like that might also have a return effect in the future but, we don't have any other choice right now.

After one week, Kevin wakes up, when guards came to tell us, we all rushed to his room. There were too many people inside so I first stayed outside. Then I saw Lord Demether coming and entering the room. I knew at that moment. There is something wrong. I use an illusion script and go inside. But, maybe I shouldn't have. I would be living peacefully now if I didn't, I am sure. The prince explained the options to Kevin and Mark and in the end, they decide to create an opportunity to escape.
Afterwards, I go to see Lord Demether on the same night.
