Lalisa came out of the banquet hall and walked along the long hallway.

Her body and mind were all exhausted. Walking weakly, she paused at the sudden pain.

Perhaps because of the high shoes, her ankle, which she thought was fully recovered, suddenly throbbed.

She was standing still sighing, then she heard footsteps in the hallway that followed,

“Uh….”

Lalisa raised her head and opened her eyes wide. A priest was walking slowly across the corridor.

He was a priest named Matheus whom she met when she went to Mass with Veronica not long ago.

“Your Highness.”

Matheus, who stopped and talked to Lalisa, soon stared at her swollen ankle.

“You must have been hurt.”

“Oh, yes….”

Lalisa stared at him with curious eyes. Seeing him in a priest’s uniform at the central palace, where the banquet was in full swing, somehow felt a little strange.

Matheus smiled faintly, as if he had noticed the gaze.

“I got lost while I was walking. The palace is so spacious and complicated.”

“Oh, I see.”

The priest gets lost too…As she blinked her eyes curiously, Matheus gently knelt down on one knee.

“May I take a look for a moment?”

“Oh, no, no, I’m fine..”

Lalisa was perplexed when he suddenly knelt down. Matheus spoke calmly to reassure her.

“I can use my power to heal your injured ankle. I’m confident I can heal you, so you don’t have to worry.”

Matheus’ gentle tone somehow aroused trust. Lalisa nodded slightly.

“Then… please.”

Matheus held her ankle lightly in one hand. Soon a blue light leaked out and hovered around his hand.

It felt as if she had dipped her foot in cold water. She could vividly feel the power stinging her ankle.

“Can you try moving it once?”

Lalisa moved her ankle a little, and to her surprise, she felt no pain. Lalisa let out an exclamation with her eyes wide open.
