Chapter 62 Philomena Is Getting Married? Suspicious!

Sade's voice suddenly became louder, and Kelly was shocked.

"Yes, as what I heard from the Village Chief, it seems that the minister informed the King of his marriage proposal."

"Oh, and did Princess Philomena agree?"

"I don't know."

"I heard that they are getting married in three days, which should be the day after tomorrow if today is counted."

"..." Kelly looked at her surprised big brother and shook her head with confusion.

Sade's eyes were also filled with confusion, but more of it was a surprise. After all, in Sade's impression, Philomena's goal was to become a grand archmage. Though it had only been two years, maybe Prescott had already become a grand archmage?

'Hiss…' Sade felt extremely terrified thinking about this possibility.

After all, Sade would at most be an advanced mage if he were to compute based on the overall mage rating. Of course, excluding the various powers brought about by the code magic and the enhancement brought about by the Celestial bloodline and the Ancient Dragon Bloodline, if the rating was solely based on spiritual power, Sade was definitely at the grand archmage level now!

However, Sade considered himself inferior to Philomena by the standards of ordinary people. After all, Sade saw her hard work. Nonetheless, Philomena was already a grand archmage despite being back for only two years plus? No way! How would Philomena be willing to accept such a political marriage with her personality?

With such doubts, Sade rushed toward Kelly's house under her guidance, "I should go to Kelly's house to cure her mother for now, and maybe I can get more information from her." Sade mumbled to himself. He decided to check out the situation at Kelly's village first.

…

With Kelly guiding the way and Sade carrying her on his back, they finally walked out of the forest after four hours of traveling.

Sade and Kelly walked along a loess path and saw a stone building that resembled an ancient wall appear before them not long after. The stone wall seemed not high from afar, about 20 meters. Even a half-grown tree was one head taller than the wall in the King's Great Basin wall.

Behind the wall was the central city of the Kingdom of Herlock. It looked like a dense array of ordinary civilian houses outside the wall. The farther out, the more shabby the houses were. Most civilian houses had wooden roofs and walls made of a mixture of soil and wood. Of course, the houses nearer to the wall were much better.

Sade could see many stone houses at a glance. The ones behind the wall were more exquisite, obviously for the nobles and the rich. Kelly lived outside the wall, in a small village near the woods at the farthest part of the civilian area. It was not very far away, and Sade only took a few steps to reach Kelly's house.

It was a house built entirely of wood. Kelly's house was much better than the others compared to the other houses made of a mixture of mud and wood. Sade could hear a heavy cough coming from the house as soon as he reached.

"Mom!" Kelly shouted.

After jumping off Sade's body, she quickly pushed open the door and rushed into the house. A young voice sounded from the house not long after.

"My Kelly, you're finally back. Are you hurt? Why didn't you listen to me and insist on going into the forest? Do you know how many wild beasts and terrifying Magical Beasts there are? What should I do if you were eaten by the Magical Beasts?" Her voice sounded a little hoarse, but Kelly could tell that her mother was worried about her.

"Sob. I'm worried that you won't be able to get up again."

"I am fine. Look, I'm already up."

"Don't worry, Mom. I brought the mage over to see you."

"Nonsense. Why would such a noble existence like the mage come here to see me?"

"It's true, Mom. I'd met the big bad wolf in the forest. The mage saved me and said that he would see you. He's outside now!"

"What!" Kelly's mother couldn't hold on any longer, listening to his daughter's narration, especially when she knew that a mage was standing outside the house. She still slowly walked out of the house even though her body was in terrible shape. She saw Sade's smile as she opened the door.

"Hello, Madam. My name is Sade. I'm a mage who's traveling abroad. I met Kelly on the way back and heard that you need a mage's help."

"Ah! I'm so sorry, Master Mage. My daughter is young and only knows how to talk nonsense. Please don't take her personally." Kelly's mother looked very young, about 28 or 29 years old. Perhaps because she was sick, her face was pale, making her look a slight malaise.

Especially when she saw that Sade was wearing a pure purple mage robe and exquisite clothes, although she did not know how much it was, it must have looked very expensive!

Kelly's mother was also a maid in a noble family. She had seen many nobles make clothes out of Magical Beast fur. However, it was the first time she had seen clothes made out of pure purple Magical Beast fur like Sade's.

Therefore, she put herself very low as she was afraid that she would offend Sade. Sade was dumbfounded and insisted on helping Kelly's mother with the treatment in the end.

During the treatment process, Sade was again dumbfounded as he saw the skin on her back. It was aback that had been ripped apart, with blood and pus. By exploring her spiritual power, she fell ill due to a wound infection purulent, resulting in inflammation.

Especially since she was a woman and was bleeding profusely, her body would undoubtedly be weak, causing her to faint. Sade did not ask her immediately as he needed to treat her in time now.

Hydrotherapy, earth pulse, soft wind, and heat recovery are four types of attributable auxiliary magic that Sade had recently come into contact with. The second and third types were used in battles to recover one's physical strength and increase one's physical condition, which was not suitable for use under the current circumstance.

Although the first and fourth types of magic were healing magic, considering her inflammation, using fire-based magic would aggravate her wounds. Thus, in the end, Sade chose hydrotherapy, the water-based healing magic.

Sade waved his hand, and a water ball naturally condensed in the air. Sade pressed the water ball against her back skin, following his feeling when he practiced chanting mantras.

Sade reproduced it directly through the 'water manipulation' ability! Sure enough, under Sade's control, the wound on her back skin gradually healed after being touched by the water ball. It didn't take long for the wound to completely heal as Sade controlled the water ball movement.

Kelly's mother was much more relaxed as the wound completely healed. She thanked Sade continuously and proposed to pay him money. However, Sade refused and requested a piece of information.

At the same time, Sade also asked about the origin of the wounds on her body. Sade could tell that it was the result of a man-made whipping. What kind of sick person would do such a vicious thing to a single mother? If Sade knew who it was, he would also whip the person and see how the person would feel.

Facing Sade's question, Kelly's mother hesitated for a long time before she finally said, "I work as a maid at the minister's residence, mainly responsible for Young Master Bob's daily life..." Kelly's mother didn't say it clearly, as, after all, she was worried that her words would spread.

Although Sade looked very reliable, she knew very well, as a lower class of the society, how great nobles emphasized reputation! Perhaps the rumors circulating outside were enough for these nobles to let her die a thousand times!

However, Sade was, after all, Kelly's and her savior. As a person with principles, Kelly's mother could not lie before her child. Yet, she did not know that Sade looked puzzled when she said she was a maid in the minister's residence.

Especially when she mentioned that she was taking care of Young Master Bob's daily life, Sade was utterly stunned.

'Young Master Bob?' He remembered that the minister had only one son. Is this pervert going to marry Philomena?
