Grand Duke Illeston's gaze once again turned to Simone's hand.
“Now that everything is over, start with treatment. Unless you plan to stain the mansion with your blood.”
"Yes? Ah."
Only then did Simone realize that the blood on her hands had not stopped and was still dripping.
And...
"...Huh! Wow! So painful!"
Lately, the pain started to creep in.
Now that she thinks about it, she made up mana with her hands, put on her shoes, and did everything she could.
Now she saw that one of her fingers was just crunched.
The fingernails were shaky, almost as if they were missing, and the fingerflesh were so deeply carved that their original shape was no longer visible.
“Ugh... Wow...Okay, get treatment quickly...”
It was so painful that it brought tears to her eyes. Grand Duke Illeston sighed and gestured to the workers.
“Take Simone to her room and treat her.”
“Yes, Master.”
Simone, who collapsed in pain, was helped up by the workers. Even as she was heading towards her room, almost as if she was being lifted, she called out to Grand Duke Illeston.
“Please find Anna! If there is, she’s probably in an empty room with a double door at the end of the basement hallway!”
Hearing her words, Grand Duke Illeston tilted his head once again.
'Was there an empty room there?'
He can't remember the last time he went down to the basement since he was playing tag with the employees when he was very young, but it wasn't in a place where a room could have been due to the structure.
“Is there a room at the end of the basement hallway?”
Chamberlain Ruth bowed his head and answered Grand Duke Illeston's question.
“No, Master. At the end of the basement hallway, there are only stairs to go up to the laundry room on the first floor and a grocery storage room.”
Ruth paused for a moment, thought about it, and then added.
“The door to the grocery store or the stairs is not a double door. It’s a wooden door on one side.”
“It was such an urgent situation, so maybe Simone made a mistake?”
At Kelle's words, Grand Duke Illeston turned around indifferently and headed back to the study.
“She must have seen it wrong. Ruth, you should give it a try. I heard there’s a servant named Anna there.”
“...Yes."
Ruth's complexion turned pale again as he answered.
Although Simone said the curse had been lifted, Ruth was still anxious.
Is it okay to look for Anna, the missing employee?
“And call a healer for the child.”
“By that child, you mean Simone?”
Grand Duke Illeston nodded at Kelle’s answer.
“The wound looked deep. Now that the curse blocking the entrance to the mansion has disappeared, there must be at least one healer willing to come to a place like this.”
"All right. I'll have to call you as soon as possible. Ruth, hurry and get rid of these rats and blood.”
***
“It really, really hurts....”
Tears poured out of Simone's eyes.
She has never felt this much pain in her life.
Isn’t this just like cutting off a finger? Her fingertips were tattered to the point where she felt like she was in trouble.
“What are these hands! You need to get treatment first. What if you start thinking about chasing it with your hands?”
“Don’t touch me! It hurts more when you touch it!”
“How do I treat it if I don’t touch it?”
Kaylee couldn't help but sigh as Simone sobbed.
She said he would die if she touched her, but when she didn't touch her, the bleeding wouldn't stop.
She can't believe that Simone, who was always incredibly relaxed, cried this much. She wondered how much it would hurt like this.
Kaylee asked in frustration.
"That! Can't you treat yourself? Don’t necromancers have healing powers?”
At her words, Simone looked at her with red eyes as if she was saying something nonsense.
“Oh, you know? Necromancer has no healing power."
"Just in case! Oh, or stop the bleeding yourself! The bleeding doesn’t have to stop first!”
At Kaylee's urging, Simone looked solemnly at her hands. Simone knew that if she lost more blood here, something would go wrong due to excessive bleeding.
Yes. You can only get treatment if you endure the pain.
No, wouldn't it be better to knock her out and then treat her?
When she reluctantly picked up the gauze, complaining to herself for no reason.
“Huh... OMG...A, are you here?”
Someone loudly opened the door and looked inside the room.
An extremely old man wearing pure white and calm clothes as if to express his sanctity, holding a large bag and a book in his hands.
At first glance, he was a healer.
“Huh huh, I heard there was an emergency patient here, so I came here in a hurry.”
He must have been running in a hurry, so he was covered in sweat and his expression looked urgent.
Behind him, the butler who always watched Simone came in and checked Simone's condition.
“Healer, it’s her.”
Can a healer come this quickly?
Even if the Grand Duke had ordered a healer to be sent, less than 30 minutes would have passed.
Kaylee hurriedly covered Simone's hair with a cloth.
The healer, still breathing heavily, hurriedly approached and examined Simone's hands.
“Is your condition very bad? How did it get this far...”
The healer quickly began treatment. Blue light began to flow from his hand, Simone's pain disappeared, and her wound slowly began to heal.
“How did you come so early?”
The butler answered Simone's question on her behalf.
“It sold out.”
Several users dispersed and wandered around looking for a healer who could heal with magic.
Fortunately, there was a healer in a nearby village, and he was quickly brought in by paying twice as much as the original treatment fee.
The first time Simone came to Illeston's mansion, she received sudden emergency treatment. The healer seemed very embarrassed and scared, but his skills were so good that the wounds disappeared quickly.
“If you are hurt this much, you have come to the right place. I am the only person in this village who knows how to use magic healing techniques. I’m glad you’re healing well without any problems, Young Lady.”
The butler spoke quietly as he watched her receiving treatment with tears that had not yet dried hanging around her eyes.
“They said they found Anna "
“Did you find her?”
Simone's face lit up. The butler nodded and explained the situation.
“They say she was found near a warehouse at the end of a hallway in the basement. She has not regained consciousness yet, but she is receiving treatment, so she will wake up soon.”
“Are there any injuries?”
The butler’s expression became serious at Simone’s question.
“Just like Simone... It looks like she hurt her hand a lot. I think it’s probably the same reason.”
“Then she is hurt a lot.”
Simone also became serious and looked at the butler. The butler seemed to have difficulty answering but did not deny it.
It meant that Anna was hurt a lot.
“Does she have the same wound as this Young Lady?”
At that time, the healer asked the butler while concentrating on treating the wound. The butler nodded.
"Yes, that's right. It's the same wound, but deeper and covers more areas. Also, it must have been three days since she was injured.”
“Then I will treat that person too.”
Before they knew it, Simone's wounds had completely healed.
The healer stood up, smiling sweetly at Simone, closing his wrinkled eyes as if everything was done.
“Hehe, it may be a profane thing to say in the lord’s mansion, but there is no proper doctor in this village. Those with good skills have already left the village.”
As it was a family estate that had been completely ignored for 300 years, everyone who wanted to make their dreams come true left.
The only people who remained here were those who reluctantly stayed because they could not leave for unavoidable reasons.
It is impossible for a place like this to have a proper doctor.
“I also used to work in the capital, but I recently quit my job and came back to my hometown.”
He was getting older, and if he had to live the rest of his life, he wanted to spend it healing people in his hometown, where they would never be able to escape poverty.
But he never thought that at the end of his life, the curse that blocked the entrance to the Grand Duke's house would disappear and he would come into the mansion again and give treatment.
It was something he would live to see for a long time.
“If the injury is worse than this, I will call other doctors and they will tell her that it would be better to cut off her finger.”
"No!"
Kaylee, who had been listening quietly, shouted.
“That child is a child who works here. If she loses control of her hands, she’ll be kicked out!”
“Okay, that’s why I said I would see it. Because my healing skills might be able to cure it. There is no way that a noble family would bring in a skilled healer from the capital to treat their servant.”
“Then please.”
Simone said, looking at her cleanly healed finger.
“Please treat Anna.”
“Simone!”
The butler was surprised and called Simone. He looked very embarrassed.
“Well, that’s a decision you have to make after asking the head deacon’s permission first.”
Bringing in a healer who uses magic is quite expensive.
In addition, in the case of this healer, didn't they decide to pay for the ship to bring him there in a hurry?
It doesn't matter since there was an order from Grand Duke or Simone, but the treatment of the attendant is a separate matter.
It was not a matter for Simone to decide.
But Simone was adamant.
“Please get treatment. Please tell the Grand Duke that I asked for it.”
The Grand Duke would be happy to grant permission. It wasn't just because of the contract with Simone.
The Grand Duke that Simone knew was a person who knew how to value each and every employee who worked there.
“Simone...”
The young servant was perplexed and did not know what to do. Then the healer chuckled and took his steps.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Butler. I just need to take your money. No money is accepted from the poor and powerless. I've been doing that ever since I came back to my hometown. That’s why I came down.”
To save people who live in neglected territories and cannot receive treatment due to lack of money, using what little healing ability they have.
“Let’s go. Somewhere?"
An elderly healer who, without hesitation, offers to provide treatment without receiving money.
"Oh."
Simone let out a small exclamation.
Kaylee, who heard that sound, looked at Simone in disgust.
Simone was looking at the healer with very interesting eyes.
Kaylee hurriedly covered Simone's hair with a cloth.
The healer, still breathing heavily, hurriedly approached and examined Simone's hands.
“Is your condition very bad? How did it get this far...”
