In a guest room of Freya's mansion in the upper section of the Lanarita.
Chen Hao remained lying quietly in bed, showing no signs of waking up. A month had passed since he fell into a coma.
Tsukuyomi and Setsuna were no longer staying in the room, as they had been assigned tasks.
As time went on, Freya felt that the chances of the Healer awakening were becoming increasingly slim, and she had already made up her mind to give up on the Healer.
Since the decision has been made to abandon the Hero of Healing, then Tsukuyomi and Setsuna, the two demi-human slaves who were originally the Hero of Healing, naturally no longer need to be given preferential treatment. Freya instructed the servants to assign them work, and the servants gave them the dirtiest and hardest jobs. After all, they were demi-humans, so they should do this kind of work.
Here, besides doing all sorts of dirty, tiring, and heavy work every day, Tsukuyomi and Setsuna also have to take care of Chen Hao's eating, drinking, and toileting needs.
They also noticed the change in the attitude of the servants and Freya towards them. The pretense of goodwill had been torn away, revealing the ruthless oppression and deep malice towards the demi-human race.
"..."
Tsukuyomi frowned and cleaned the servants' communal bathroom in silence. The unpleasant smell was torture for the demi-humans with their sensitive sense of smell.
"..."
She silently pulled weeds in the mansion garden. Today, she was in charge of all the garden maintenance. If she didn't finish, she wouldn't get any food; if she didn't do a good job, she would be scolded or even beaten.
All they can do now is pray that Chen Hao will wake up, seek justice for them, and take them away from this place.
After cleaning the bathroom, Tsukuyomi quietly took a shower. She couldn't stand the smell. It was almost noon, and Setsuna was assigned a lot of work. She didn't know if she could finish it all today, so she was the one feeding Chen Hao today.
"...What about Lord Kyal's lunch?"
In the kitchen, Tsukuyomi, who had just finished showering, did not see any medicinal porridge prepared for the day.
"Her Highness said there was no need to prepare food for him anymore."
The servant in the kitchen said with a sneer.
“…”
Tsukuyomi remained silent. Lord Chen Hao, it seems she's been abandoned...
Why? You saved this city, and it's because you saved it that it became like this, yet they plan to abandon you...
Is it really that easy to decide something has lost its value, become worthless, and be discarded after only one month, simply because you're unwilling to wait any longer?
Humans... are truly cold-blooded...
"Hmph, what are you still standing here for? Oh, I forgot, you still need to eat, otherwise you won't have the energy to work."
The servant took a steamed potato and placed it in front of Tsukuyomi.
Here, take this and eat it.
"..."
Tsukuyo silently picked up the potato and left the kitchen.
Who can they blame for their current predicament?
Can we blame Chen Hao? Can we blame him for falling into a coma, for not protecting them, for not keeping his promise?
Perhaps she harbored such resentment, but for Tsukuyo, Chen Hao was the first human being she could feel kindness from, the man she promised to protect, the man she decided to entrust her life to, and the light in her heart.
It's all that cold-blooded Freya's fault!
If Freya hadn't been so eager for quick results that she made Chen Hao perform a full-range, large-scale healing spell, Chen Hao wouldn't have fallen into a coma.
If it weren't for Freya's secret instigation, she and Setsuna wouldn't have to live such a hard life every day.
If it weren't for Freya's cold-bloodedness, how could Chen Hao have been so easily abandoned?
Tsukuyomi regretted that she was blind back then, failing to see through Freya's acting skills and actually believing her to be a good person.
"Lord Chen Hao...please...wake up soon...if you don't wake up soon..."
Yueyong called softly beside Chen Hao's bed, but her voice could not reach him no matter what she did.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Monster Forest.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The wooden swords clashed and made a crisp sound.
Eve, wielding two swords, is engaged in a fierce sword fight with Kreeher.
Kreeher's every sword strike was swift and sharp, each aimed at vital points. Her agile movements shifted and changed positions constantly, searching for openings. Her wielding of the wooden sword was like a graceful dance, a deadly waltz of blades.
Eve wielded her twin swords, constantly defending against every attack from Kreeher. Her movements were fluid and natural, like flowing water and a gentle breeze, without any stiffness. After one sword blocked Kreeher's attack, the other sword would always seize the opportunity to counterattack.
"Smack!"
But it was no use; the sword was blocked. Kreeher drew her sword in time to block it and then spun the wooden sword in her hand. Her body's coordination and the explosive power of her arm were instantly synchronized. The wooden sword became invisible in an instant and struck Eve's right wrist directly.
"hiss…"
Eve bared her teeth and gasped for breath. Despite the heavy blow to her right wrist, she held the sword tightly in her right hand and did not let go.
"Let's stop here for now, Eve."
Kreeher felt that the broth simmering over the campfire should be almost ready.
"Ugh... Kreeher, couldn't you have been a little gentler? It hurts!"
