She was a small girl who looked about fifteen years old, and she was struggling with her head wrapped around her.
Next to the child, a woman who appeared to be her mother was sitting down and asking for help.
"Someone, please help me!"
The men around her grabbed her by the limbs as if to calm her down, but the seizures did not stop.
And when the child screamed at the people, I saw.
His eyes were dyed an eerie red.
"That's it..."
It is pollution. I was sure because I had already seen it twice.
The child must have been tainted by the monster's mind.
I hurriedly tried to reach for the child, but Kishian stopped me again.
"It's dangerous."
"Let me go. I can help her."
Even though I demanded it, he wouldn't let go of his grip.
I twisted my body to escape his grasp and continued.
"That kid looks contaminated. Perhaps there was an individual who caused pollution among the monsters sold by the monster seller earlier. There is no way that monsters would have suddenly appeared in this area."
"If you think she's contaminated, you shouldn't get any closer."
His grip on my forearm tightened even harder.
"Knowing how dangerous it is."
He winked at my shoulder.
It reminds me of the time when he hurt me without losing his mind because of being polluted.
Meanwhile, the child's seizures were getting worse and worse.
I don't know where she got all that power, but they were having a hard time subduing the child even though there were three men clinging to me.
If I left it that way, someone would definitely get seriously hurt.
I looked straight into his golden eyes full of anxiety.
"It's dangerous. I was actually injured."
"..."
"But I've already treated pollution twice."
I continued to persuade him when he could not refute it.
"Baron Baldeck's Gert returned to normal when I touched him. So did you."
"..."
"One time may be a coincidence, but the second time is not a coincidence. I definitely have the power to cure pollution."
The strength gradually loosened in Kishian's hands.
I took his hand away from my forearm and asked him to do it.
"There must be a monster nearby that has contaminated the child, so please retrieve it. While I heal the pollution."
"...I understand."
He followed my words and moved to find the monster nearby.
In the meantime, I quickly approached the child.
One of the men who was calming the child down frowned when he saw me.
"I don't know who you are, but it's dangerous, so leave behind..."
"Please get out of the way. I can solve it."
When I said it firmly, the man was stunned and slipped aside to make room for me.
I went there and reached out towards the child's forehead.
"Ahh Ahh... Oh boy...! Ahhh..."
When I touched it, the screams gradually subsided.
Her distorted expression gradually relaxed, and above all, the redness disappeared from her eyes.
At first glance, it looked like she had been cured, but just in case, I was trying to get this hands-on a little more.
The people who watched the child get better burst into tears in surprise.
"What did you do?"
"She touched it, and suddenly..."
"Are you a doctor? Can you suddenly calm down with just your hands?"
I couldn't help it because of the situation, but it seemed like I was cleaning up the pollution in front of so many people.
I felt people's attention gradually shifting toward me.
One of the men who was struggling to hold on to the child also showed interest in me.
"What did you do? No, wait... You look familiar..."
Could it be someone I know? When I looked at him with a little anxiety, he shouted in surprise.
"Aren't you Her Highness the Grand Duchess?"
Upon closer inspection, I thought I knew who he was.
He was one of the workers at the Grand Palace.
When I left with Kishian for Baron Baldeck, I remembered handing over the reins to him.
He was probably the stable keeper of the mansion.
He didn't expect to meet each other in a place like this, so his voice rose.
"How could Your Highness, the Grand Duchess, be in such a place, or rather, what did you just do?"
"It's not a big deal. It looked like she had a seizure for a while, so I just let her smell the herbs."
"Yes? But I don't think I saw you using herbs..."
"Rather, lower your voice. I was walking around, hiding my identity."
We asked for it too late, but it seemed that people had already heard our conversation.
"You want to deliver the Grand Duchess?"
"Is that...?"
"Let me see, get out of the way!"
I could feel the crowd of onlookers getting closer and closer.
Before it got more crowded, I hurriedly called a woman who appeared to be the child's guardian.
"Take the child and give her plenty of rest. You won't have to worry about it anymore."
"Thank you, My Lady. Thank you."
The woman picked up the child and slipped through the crowd safely.
The problem was me. There were even more people gathered than before, and I was surrounded by a circle.
"Her Highness has just performed a miracle! She healed the disease!"
"Your Highness, please hold my hand just once!"
"Show me a miracle!"
The stable keeper who created this situation seemed to feel responsible and pushed people away, but it was not enough.
They had just seen the contamination being cured in front of them, so everyone was reaching out to catch me.
Fortunately, Kishian appeared in the crowd before I was crushed to death.
"The monsters were dealt with safely. Let's go back. Walter!"
He shouted, and Walter and the knights who were just coming drove the people away and made a way.
I was wrapped in Kishian's arms and managed to get out of it.
***
When the girl who had the seizure and the Grand Duchess disappeared, the people who had gathered gradually began to disperse.
But as the excitement cooled down and the people dispersed, there was a man who stood alone on the spot.
He wore a hat that covered half his face and stared blankly at the empty seat where the Grand Duchess had disappeared.
'What did I just see?'
It was a simple coincidence that he passed by this place.
Since Letie had gone to the Grand Duke, he had been waiting for the Emperor to intervene in case of an emergency, and he had heard that a festival was being held.
Therefore, it was unexpected for him to see the Grand Duchess here.
And the scene he witnessed because of that coincidence was shocking.
'Purifying the pollution? She is not a savior?'
As one of the emperor's close associates, he knew.
The Princess who married the Grand Duke and was brought here was actually Elona, not Letie.
Letie was on her way to the Grand Duke, so it must have been Elona who had just cleaned up the pollution.
And the moment Elona touched it, the contaminated girl returned to her intact state.
Many people had seen the same scene, so it wasn't in vain.
'I don't know what's going on. But this incident must be reported.'
Witnessing such a shocking situation, he couldn't just let it go.
He recovered his confused mind and left the scene.
He had to hurry up to inform the Emperor of the incident in time.
