"So never let your hopes down kid." I said.
"I-I... I can, uwaahhhh! I-I... uwahh uwahhhh! I don't to die like this, sob... I am afraid, p-please, sob, please save me from this curse!"
Reena burst into cry. She clenched my shirt tightly, urged to me.
"Don't worry, it's alright. Just wait and see how I am going save you." I smiled and patted her back slightly.
I waited for her to settle down.
"Sob... Sob... Can you really, help me to get through this curse?" She asked while wiling her tears in her eyes with her hand sleeves.
Really, after what I said until now, she still can't believe me.
"Yeah, I can." I replied confidently.
"All you have to do is to follow my instructions,"
She gave a small nod.
"Now then, lay straight on the bed."
As I said that, Reena give me a disgust look.
"... Even in this stage, you're still thinking about that!"
"Shut Your Damn Mouth You Idiot! Just do as I say." I glared.
"Alright alright, just don't yell at me like that."
As if I want to.
Even now she is playing unreasonable games. She was in tears just a moment ago and now... Seriously, mood of girls really change like super fast.
"So, what's next...? Are you going to do... that?" She asked like an innocent child.
"You do that again and I swear I'm gonna throw you out of that damn window myself!"
I am serious about that. She is so annoying!
"Now then, first, I'm telling you it's gonna hurt."
"How much?" Reena asked.
"Depends on curse. Stronger the curse, greater the pain."
"... You mean, it's gonna hurt a lot, right?" She asked, scared by imagining just how much it's gonna hurt.
I nodded in agreement.
"A-Alright, I-I can do this. I can do this." She repeated to make her resolve strong.
I placed my hand above her chest.

In air, few inches above her chest.
"You ready."
"... Y-Yeah..." Reena gulped, replied with all her bravery.
Okey, then I'll start now.
"I, In The Name Of Valorant, Wish To End The Curse So Thou Shall Met End... In Thee Name, I, Here By, End One's Curse!" I casted the spell.
A bright glow, my hand was cover in the a warm light.
I can feel my energy, flowing from my hand, covering Reena's whole body.
"Aaaarrghhhhhh!!!! "
"Don't worry, you can do this! Just bare in for a while!" While casting spell with my on hand, I hold Reena's hands with my other to comfort her in the sense of security.
My energy started to get absorbed by Reena, starting to mix with her.
Black-purple sparks covered her body. There were sparks allover her body.
I was the dark energy of curse. My own energy, which I flowed into Reena, was clashing with dark energy.
The spell I casted will allow my energy to drive out the curse, and replace it's energy by itself.
Though it was a tough situation. All I can hope is for Reena to fight... no, endure all the pain cause due to that clash of prรฃnรฃ flow.
The curse on her was so strong that forcefully driving it out of her body can be dangerous. Since the process was painful, I wanted to cast the spell will Reena is awake. One can endure puch pain will they are not asleep.
It would be a different story if I make her unconscious and casted an anaesthetic spell to make her lose her sense of pain but, it would be risky. Though I have a full confidence on my abilities there are still possibilities of process be counterproductive. There are one out of billion chance that maybe be somehow my spell doesn't work as it has to be, and make the curse even stronger... if that happened by chance, just by chance, Reena wouldn't be able to inform me whether the curse become stronger since she wouldn't be able to feel the pain due to increase in strength of that monstrous curse because of her anaesthetic state.
Well the possibility of that is still 0.0000000001%, I wouldn't take any risk.

--------------------------
Outside Reena's room...
Reena's father, that is the Duke, anxiously, was walking in circular path.
His one hand on his face, while the anxiety was clear on his expression.
He was obviously worried his daughter, Reena, who's being treated by Allan behind that door in front of him.
Though Allan assured that he'll successfully save Reena from the curse, there's no way Duke wouldn't be carefree. Fear still remains of failure.
Watching the condition of Duke, his elder brother, the King spoke up.
"... You don't have to be that worried, I am sure Allan would definitely do something!"
"E-Even if you say so... how can I still be not worried. It's about my Reena... It's the matter of life and death!"
Laren walk to Duke, and patted his shoulder to comfort the Duke.
"Uncle, I know you're worried to death about Reena but please calm yourself a little. Please have some faith, I'm sure Reena will be better soon."
Duke looked around and noticed that everyone was also worried about Reena.
๐๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!!!!
And then, everyone heard a scream of girl, full pain.
"... T-That... That was Reena. I-I have to go and check!" Duke tried to go inside the room but, was stopped by Lucia.
"Uncle, I think you should not..."
"W-What are you saying?! Didn't you heard that scream right now, I-I have to go in and check Reena! Hurry up, please move aside quick!" Duke growled but Lucia didn't flinched.
"...Uncle, didn't he said not to intrude no matter what. We should not go back on our words and should wait here."
"Lucia, try to understand. Reena's life is in danger!"
While Duke and Lucia debate, no one dare to middle in between them.
"Hou, how can you be so sure...?" Lucia asked with a confident smile.
"Whaโ?"
"Up until now, Reena wasn't able to squeeze out a voice and just now... didn't you heard that loud scream."
"...!"
"I am sure thaโ?!" Before Lucia can finish, door of the room, slowly opened with a crack sound.
Allan walked out and closed the door.
Everyone's gazes were fixed on that man only.
But the one to take the initiative first, was of coure none other then the most anxious one, the Duke.
He hurriedly drew closer to Allan and grab a hold on both of his shoulder with his both hands.
"H-How did it go?... I-Is... Is my daughter safe?" Duke asked as he was begging to get the reply for what he is expecting.
But, the look on Allan's face was the one which make him worried the most. Everyone else sensed it too.
Allan looked at Duke with those same eyes, and the same emotionless expression he always had on his face.
