Chapter 475
"Oh, you can open the door it is not locked."
Her calm voice resounded.
King Shenten opened the door and greeted her by bowing his head. Andromeda was resting in the hospital bed, she looked pale. She had wounds all over her body, covered in bandages.
Just like Mikael who was wounded all over, Andromeda had the exact copy of his injuries. If not because of her natural ability as a Saintess, perhaps she was already dead.
"This is...?"
She glanced at Colt who was sitting still.
"This is my friend, Colt."
"Hi!"
She happily greeted Colt, smiling.
"Saintess... If you don't mind--"
"You want me to heal him?"
"Yes."
"No problem."
King Shenten heard that Saintess was injured. Now that he found that the woman was actually ill, he was hesitant to ask for her help.
"You don't have to worry. As you can see, I have an endless amount of mana to cast Heal."
Even right now, Andromeda's Skill was actively working over the province of Cavite. If not, the province would panic knowing that Saintess stopped her Skill. The only thing that was keeping the province safe was her constant healing.
"So it's fine, you don't have to feel guilty. You just want to help your friend."
"..."
Realizing that the woman in front of him was a virtuous person, he kneeled and bowed down.
"H- hey, you don't have to do that. You're a King, your image should be maintained."
She was flustered but Shenten remained kneeling.
"... Okay fine. I have a condition, just to ease your guilt. How about you talk to Titania after I heal your friend? Lately, Titania is getting bitter and she always looks out the window. Maybe she is waiting for someone."
She teased him but the King seriously accept her condition.
"I will talk to her."
"Good. Now, let's see..."
Andromeda rest her palm on Colt's head. She has the power to heal the mental trauma.
Her palm started glowing, she cast a greater heal.
"Ugh."
She grimaced when she realized that Colt's mental trauma was too strong. As of he was brain-dead.
"... Looks like I have to use a strong Skill."
She thought it would be easy. This was not her first time healing psychological trauma, but Colt's current situation was different. The man was already brain-dead.
If a person died, the only way was to use Ressurection.
Andromeda was a bit reluctant. She just suffered from a near-death situation. Still, she took a deep breath and calm her beating heart.
She cast Ressurection.
Suddenly, she convulsed and clutched the bed sheet.
She experienced how Colt suffered from torture. She saw images, particularly Satan who was happily extracting information.
She gasped.
It only took three seconds, but she felt that she suffered for years.
She started coughing.
"..."
King Shenten averted his gaze. It was hard to watch.
After Andromeda wiped her blood-stained mouth, she lightly laughed.
"He is fine now. He just needs rest."
"... Thank you."
Again, King Shenten kneeled. But Andromeda did not stop him this time, she was too tired to do so.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Lately, she was always sleeping, dreaming of the past, where she remembered her younger days, back in Highschool.
A satisfied smile escaped from her mouth when she recalled someone.
King Shenten took out Colt, leaving Andromeda resting.
He took glanced at Colt who was sleeping. He seemed alright.
Suddenly, his feet stopped when he found that Titania was waiting for him. She was carrying two cans of beer.
"Humph!!"
She scoffed and approached him.
Then, she angrily passed the beer to him.
"Let's talk."
"..."
He nodded. He intended to talk to her anyway.
"Leave this guy too. I saw Klein down the first floor together with the Nine-Tails, maybe you can take him there."
She glanced at Colt.
The King nodded again.
"Seriously, all you can do is nod. Tch."
She clicked her tongue.
King Shenten delivered Colt to Klein first before he left with Titania.
They went to the rooftop.
Titania glinted as she glanced at the sunset. It was 5 pm and the night sky was gradually covering the place.
She looked at King Shenten who was standing in the corner.
"So are you not going to say something?"
"..."
"Tch. This is the reason why it's hard to be with you. You always keep your mouth shut."
She sighed.
"Sorry..."
"Hm?"
She turned around and realized that King Shenten was approaching her.
"Sorry about what?"
She raised her brow and crossed her arms.
She was actually happy that her man started feeling guilty. She did not know why.
"... What are you doing?"
She was absent for a second when she found that King Shenten embraced her. His arms around her waist, she flinched and tried to push him.
"H- hey, this is public, you can't just do--"
King Shenten did not listen and pulled her closer. Suddenly, he kissed her forehead, making the woman dumbfounded.
"Huh?"
She touched her forehead, her face was burning red.
"You're cute."
"Pweh?"
She was stunned that she blurted something.
"W- wait, this is not right!! I should be mad right now!! Let me go!!"
She tried to push him, but she did not use any strength. As if she wanted to stay longer in his embrace.
"Let me go~"
-- BOOM!!
However, their lovey-dovey ended when a strong explosion arose from the hospital. The building trembled and they almost lost their balance.
"Andromeda!!"
Titania regained her focus. Realizing that Andromeda might be endangered, she immediately jumped out of the building. It was the fastest way to reach Andromeda.
Even King Shenten sprinted just to check the situation.
As they got closer, they felt the strong resonance of corruption. It made the atmosphere heavy, in this glorious sunset.
