"Allan, I know you're a capable man but I don't think even you can cure Reena." Said Nerisa, doubting my abilities.
"I agree with Nerisa. Even the wise doctors, physicians or holy priests weren't able to cure Lady Reena so how could we expect that you can save her," Red hairs join in the support of Nerisa.
Though I think he don't like me that much but that has nothing to do with me curing Reena. He is just weary of Reena's health and is doing his job as a servant of the kingdom. He would surely be anxious...
"Well, if you soo... " My eyes Lucia for a brief moment as I acted giving up.
"Wait! If there is even a slightest chance, I'm ready to go for it... So please!" Lucia tried to convince.
"But Princessโ! Hfff, Leon at least say something,"
Red hairs tried to argue back but Lucia strole him down with her sharp gaze...
"I think it's fine, as princess said. As long as there is even a slightest possibility to save Lady Reena, we should go for it." Leon said in agreement too.
"Whatโ?! You too Leon, Nerisa, say something! We can't take it so lightly!'
"I think I will allow it,"
"What?! You tooโ"
"But,"
Nerisa then turned to me,
"If any harm caused to Reena because of you, I won't let you go away, Allan..." She said those words with immense pressure.
"Don't worry Nerisa, I believe in Allan!"
Lucia said wirh confidence.
"Hmm, if you say so..."
"Well then, let's proceed,"
"Please allow me to lead you."
Lucia opened the door of the room, we allowed her.
Inside the room, rays of light were entering through window, a huge bed was absorbing it.
There lay a girl, who looked weak as there were bags under her eyes. She was thin as was her face.
She was surrounded by people.
There was king and his wife, their son, Prince Laren. There were also a couple sit by her side, maybe her parents as they looked pretty old, around 40s and the man was a bit similar to the king. Clear sign of being king's younger brother.
There were also well more people, one I recognized as I saw him earlier during the banquet and testimony, the physician. Beside him were the two guys, wearing white clothes and it was clear that they were the priests Lucia mentioned about earlier since their clothes were meeting that criteria.
"Hmm?... Everyone, what's the matter, what are you all doing here?" King noticed us as he asked.
Others all realise that we all entered the room as they looked at us.
"Father, we are here to cure Reena."
"What are you saying, Lucia?"
"Your majesty, Allan claims that he would be able to cure Reena's illness."
"Whatโ?!" The one who said was not the king but patients father, maybe.
He then turned to me,
"Are you the one who could save my daughter?!"

"Well sir, I can't say for sure whether I can help or not unless I check her. I'm not sure if could save her but, if can't then no one in this world can..."
"Really?! Well then, please check her, hurry."

"Please Waitโ!"
Just as I begin to move, one of the priest stopped me.
"...?"
"Lady Reena, is currently under treatment. If you don't mind please don't middle in between, we are treating her!" Priest said with disgust,
"Her holiness, please let him check Reena, it's the matter of life and dead," Lucia asked.
"Princess Lucia, I can understand your feelings but she is still under our care," Priest said.

Maybe she don't believe me,
"That'sโ" Lucia tried to speak but I stopped her with my hand.
"If it's fine with you, I can check Reena after you gave her today's treatment..."
"If really insist so, then fine."
"You can go ahead and gave her whatever medicine or treatment you want, I won't interfere," As I said so, girl gave me a disgust look as if saying, "I know, I know. You don't have to teach me, just mind your business you bastard," and then turned to Reena, who was lying on the bed, not even moving a single muscle.
She take a small bottle of glass in her hand, maybe the medicine or something.
"What's that?" I whisper to Lucia who was standing beside me.
"That's the holy water from church. It is said that it's a mystical water that Gods lend to church to server the mankind. They say that it can even cure the most severe disease!"
"So why Reena still on bed...?"
"W-Well, Reena is already taking holy water since few years, but I don't think it's working..."
I stared Lucia, completely silent.
"Wh-What's with that monotones expression?! A-Anyway, isn't the reason why you're here is because you can save Reena!"
I can't guarantee whether I can save her or not.
I haven't checked Reena yet, though I'm confident that I can cure her, there is still one in one billion chance that I wouldn't.
I'm not prefect, no one is perfect... Everyone has few flaws, something they lack.
Not even the Gods are perfect in every field. Everyone have their own specialty in which they are formidable and everyone have things where they are venerable, it's natural and, reality.
Priest Girl wakes up Reena as she supported her to lift her head.
"Here, Reena, take this holy water. It will make you feel better." She said.
Priest Girl looked at Reena with warm eyes as a mother watching her sleeping baby.
Reena slowly opened her eyes a bit. Even though she was weak and don't have strength to do or say anything, she slowly and slightly opened her mouth.

Priest Girl bring the bottle near Reena's mouth as her lips touched the mouth of the bottle.
I hurriedly rushed towards bed. Watching my sudden moment king and others took a back in panic.
" ! "
I grabbed the hand of the priest girl, forced to stop her.
"What are you doing?!" She shouted.
I snatched the bottle from her hand and threw it away.
The bottle hit the wall of room and shattered. The patch of wet formed on the wall as the holy water inside the container flow out of it and spread on the floor.
