"The rest of you, follow me into the underground to rescue people and search—"

“Ugh—!”

A slight groan of pain was heard.

Although the voice was not loud, the deputy captain still heard it and looked at Arthur.

“Alice—! Alice, what’s wrong with you—!!?”

Arthur held Alice in his arms, trying desperately to wake her.

But Alice kept her eyes tightly closed, her expression of pain growing deeper and deeper, and...

The purple lines became clearer and clearer, and had already spread to the right hand.

"Doctor! I'll take you to a doctor right away!"

Arthur hurriedly picked her up.

"I have a royal physician in my palace! Please follow me to the palace!"

Alicia said immediately.

"Really?! Thank you!"

"No need to thank me! Martina, take them to the car."

"As you command, Your Highness!"

"Please follow me!"

Martina led everyone towards Alicia's royal carriage. The carriage was very large and could easily accommodate everyone.

Alicia turned around and glanced at the deputy commander of the Guard Knights.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Captain, I'm leaving this in your hands!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will definitely bring all the students back!"

"Okay!" Alicia nodded and got on the car. "Let's go back to the palace!"

With her order, the luxurious carriage began to gallop towards the upper city, followed by a team of knights riding swift-foot beasts for protection.

... ...

The ninth princess's palace.

A large group of court doctors gathered in Alicia's bedroom, all of them looking worried.

On the big bed in front of them, Alice, with her blonde hair, was sleeping soundly.

Alicia and her group waited on the side.

Seeing that the doctors were hesitant to act, Alicia asked:

"Everyone, please tell me directly, what is the situation?"

The doctors exchanged glances with each other, and finally the most experienced and elderly doctor stepped forward as a representative.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, this young lady...she..."

The old doctor hesitated, not knowing how to answer, and Arthur, anxious inside, rushed forward.

"What happened to my sister? Aren't you the best doctors? Please save her, please save her!"

"Arthur, calm down!"

Clea hurried forward and grabbed him.

The old doctor lowered his head in shame and said:

"Your Highness, Ninth Princess, although we doctors have seen all sorts of illnesses, we have never seen or heard of this young lady's condition before... We have no idea what ails her, so how can we save her?"

"Yeah yeah... ..."

The other doctors also shook their heads.

"this... ..."

Alicia didn't expect this to happen, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I can't save you..."

Arthur slumped to the ground with a look of despair on his face.

"How could it be... Alice..."

"No! I don't believe it!"

He rushed to the bed and squeezed Alice's hand tightly.

"I don't believe it! Alice, open your eyes, please?"

“… …”

For a moment, the only sound in the huge bedroom was Arthur's helpless call, and everyone else was silent.

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Hulim suddenly thought of someone.

"Maybe..."

The heavy atmosphere was broken by Hulim's words.

"...There's someone who knows what's wrong with Alice."

... ...

In the downtown area, there's a potion shop that doesn't even have a name.

"I say... do you know what time it is?"

Irus opened the door and said speechlessly as she looked at the large group of people at the door.

"Irus, I'm sorry to bother you, but you're the only person I can think of who might be able to help."

Hulim said apologetically.

Arthur immediately pleaded, "Please! Please save my sister!"

"Ah~."

Irus sighed.

"Alright, come on in... Also, Hulim, you have to make it up to me later for disturbing my sleep."

"... ...I see."

In the shop.

Alice was supported by Arthur and leaned against a chair.

Irus just glanced at Alice, without doing any inspection, and walked into the shop to look through some things.

"It's normal that you don't know what disease she has."

Hearing these words, a light of hope immediately lit up in Arthur's eyes.

"You know what!? Please save her. As long as you can save her, I will agree to anything you ask!"

Irus shook her head, went back to the counter and started mixing something.

"...Unfortunately, I couldn't save her."

"What--"

Arthur immediately felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him from head to toe, and he froze in place.

Alicia was also surprised. After thinking for a moment, she hesitated and said:

"Do you mean... Alice has some incurable disease?"

"Incurable disease? No, it's not that!"

"This little sister, she is not sick at all!"
