Bab 83: Chapter 83: Not Infertile

"I don't have any other method. I can, however, lessen the pain, since her leg has been deformed, it must have been painful from time to time. Isn't that so, Princess?" Matoa asked Swan, and the latter nodded weakly.

"I-it's usually more painful during winter, or anytime the air is getting colder," Swan revealed honestly. She hated winter in the Holy Achate because her leg would ache painfully on top of enduring whatever punishment or torment Aria gave her. 

"Then, I can give you a topical medicine to bring heat to your leg. Use it daily, and the pain should be numbed," Matoa advised. 

"T-thank you, Doctor. I appreciate it." Swan was a bit sad that she couldn't be cured of her crippledness, but she had long accepted her fate, and a medicine that helped to numb the winter pain was more than enough for her.
