It was such a peaceful day for a while. It was winter with everything set up to perfection.
Likewise, Julia thought that my body was gradually getting better.
However, one morning, not different from usual, Yulia woke up with a bloodshot.
"… Cologne!"
Her lips trembled as she saw the blood soaking her palms.
Drip, drip, dripping blood stained the bed linen on her lap red.
Yulia couldn't hide her embarrassment at the sudden bleeding that had not come for a while.
Yulia hurriedly got a cloth and wiped her lips and hands, then pressed her chest to her chest.
With a thump, a thump, and a faint beating, I could vaguely feel my inner strength fluctuate.
At the same time, she could even feel that my energy was getting weaker than before.
No one said anything, but Julia was able to predict it to some extent.
As my spiritual power fades, the life inside me is gradually dying out.
Soon, Julia got up with a pale face.
'Should I tell Cedric? However… .'
Cedric was still traveling from place to place, searching for a cure.
However, it had not seen any results yet.
In the meantime, he might feel burdened if he even found out that my condition had become serious.
"… it's okay."
Julia tried to mumble meaninglessly. If you say that, it's like it's going to be really good.
Then he got up and changed his clothes. The blood-stained bedding was put aside first.
Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.
As he slowly approached and opened the door, Gabriel stood in front of the door and looked at her with a surprised expression.
"Son, you have a very bad complexion, are you okay?"
Her pale, pale cheeks looked like an innocent patient.
Yulia just shook her head, not wanting to cause any concern.
"it's okay. I must have slept a little."
He smiled faintly, but Gabriel was already very worried.
Gabriel, who had stretched out her wrinkled hand and touched Julia's forehead, shouted in amazement.
"It's okay, my forehead is on fire!"
Gabriel grabbed her hand and hurriedly put her on the bed.
"Wait. I'll bring a senator to you soon."
Before Julia could answer anything, Gabriel hurriedly left the room.
The door closed and Yulia, who had her eyes closed slowly, kept her mouth shut.
Even meeting a senator won't change much. She said that her condition was not something that she could get better with medical techniques.
After sitting idly like that for a while, Gabriel entered the room with the senator.
He was the only member of the town. I've also met Julia a few times.
The doctor who examined her condition diagnosed her with body aches with fever. She and she prescribed antipyretic and restorative medicines.
Knowing that it would be of no use, Yulia took her pills for weeks. It was Gabriel's stubborn will.
However, even after taking the medicine, there was no improvement in the body.
While I was wasting my time without success, a member of the congress, who was said to have come from another country, suddenly visited the monastery.
He was a prominent member of the legislature known by name. He was the kind of a noble family, in a word, meant to be a man of high ransom.
Although Yulia suddenly received medical treatment, she could not hide her doubts with her eyes.
"Well… ."
Meanwhile, the lawmaker, who had been paying close attention to Julia's pulse, slowly withdrew his hand.
Then he opened his mouth in a very polite tone.
"You seem to have a heart problem. Because the flow of blood in contact with the heart is not smooth, your body will be cold, but your head will have a fever, and you will feel chest pain from time to time."
At the surprisingly accurate findings, Julia had no choice but to widen her eyes.
The town councilor I went to a few weeks ago had just dismissed her condition as a simple fever.
"I will prescribe medication for heart disease. In addition, we will give you a stabilizer that temporarily helps blood circulation. If you take it when you feel chest pain, you will feel better."
Julia nodded her head blankly at the words that followed.
In addition, the lawmaker gave a whole colander of medicinal herbs that are good for energy recovery.
It is said that drinking a tea with a decoction of the root is good for improving stamina and calming the nerves.
"Then, I will see you again when you have finished taking all of the manufactured medicine. If you ever feel uncomfortable again before then, please feel free to contact us."
"ah… thank you."
With those words, the lawmaker bowed his back with an overly polite gesture and walked out of the bedroom.
After he left, Julia was able to talk to Gabriel who was standing next to him.
"Hey, Gabriel. How did he come?"
Such famous lawmakers rarely visited private houses, no matter how much money they paid.
It meant that I had to visit in person to see if I could barely meet.
Gabriel smiled slightly and gave the answer straight away.
"A believer introduced me. He said he was a very famous and capable member of the legislature."
"… Did someone like that come here easily?"
"okay. Actually, I was going to take you there, but they told me that they would visit me. Either way, it's fortunate Well then, let's start with dinner. Then take the medicine."
Although she was still puzzled by something, Yulia meekly nodded her head.
The senator specifically found out my symptoms. That alone was enough to convince him that he was an outstanding member of the legislature.
However, it was not known whether the drug would be effective as a prescription drug.
After eating like that, Julia took the medicine the doctor gave her. After that, I even drank the tea that Gabriel brought to me.
Taking care of each and every one of them made me feel like a child.
Julia couldn't get enough sleep these past few days. It was because of the constant discomfort and chills in my body that I couldn't sleep well.
But today, I felt much more comfortable. I thought it might be because of taking the medicine.
Julia slowly closed her eyes at the comfort she had felt in a long time.
That night, Julia was able to fall asleep in a short time.
After taking the medication for a few days, I found that the prescribed medication had a distinct effect on the apparent symptoms.
Symptoms that make you uncomfortable, such as a high fever or a fast heartbeat, are almost gone.
The quality of sleep has also improved.
So, at first glance, her condition seemed to be improving little by little. Because the legislators who visit regularly said so.
But ironically, the sexual power within her remained unstable.
"Cedric."
In the evening, Julia looked back at Cedric, who was walking next to me, and opened her mouth.
They were out for an evening walk, as always.
"What's wrong?"
Cedric looked down at her with a friendly voice. Julia quietly lowered her gaze.
"How much power will I have left?"
Cedric stopped for a moment with a stiff face in response to the quiet question.
He seemed perplexed. This is because he had never told Julia about her specific condition until now.
But she seemed to already know that the sexual power within me was slowly disappearing.
"Actually, I've been feeling it for a while. The holy energy in my heart is slowly leaking out."
Julia looked up at him and calmly explained. Cedric, who then concealed his embarrassment, nodded his head.
"… okay. It's Julia's body, so she couldn't have felt it herself."
He sighed and continued.
"I don't feel Julia's holy power. But Matthews will know. She is the original owner of the Holy Power."
After visiting the Temple of Ilion a few months ago, there was no communication from Matthews.
So Cedric didn't know exactly what her current status was.
"For now, the best treatment would be for Julia not to use her sexual powers."
Nevertheless, the sexual power will leak out faintly, but unless you use a lot of power at once, there will be no sudden abnormality in your body.
Cedric continued, as always, in a friendly, but somewhat subdued voice.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Because Julia is a person loved by God."
Julia raised her lips with an effort.
"Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine."
I would be lying if I said I wasn't anxious. But I didn't want to break the current peace with such anxiety.
She has now found a little bit of happiness. Every day was so precious to her.
When will you fall again? Then what if you don't wake up? I didn't want to waste precious moments with such meaningless thoughts.
Being sick didn't change anything. All you have to do is live a peaceful life as usual.
'… okay.'
Julia took a deep breath. And she gave Cedric a small smile, as if she was really okay now.
