Chương 96: Chapter 96: A Bitter Farewell

It's been more than twenty days since Seiji began the process of healing and purifying the curse that had taken hold of Eleanor's body. During the time, their secret intimate relationship had flourished, hidden away in the small house within the noble estate. Eleanor had found not just healing in Seiji's presence but a deep satisfaction, both emotional and physical, that she had never experienced before.

The day had come when Seiji finally completed the purification process. Eleanor, lying beside him, her body still warm from their latest passionate encounter, gazed at him with a mixture of longing and sorrow.

"Must you go so soon, Seiji?" Eleanor asked, her voice tinged with sadness. "Can't you stay a few more days? I've been so happy with you, and you've brought me so much... pleasure." Her fingers traced lazy patterns on his chest as she spoke.
