As we found the servants resting over their beds, we quickly began moving. We requested to have the door closed while we did this, of course, as we didn't wanted our powers to be leaked too much into the public, especially because Elearose and my identity are two new identities I created for certain things, I don't want them to get found out like Blank's identity, if possible.

"Well, let's begin with the basics, their bodies seem exhausted beyond belief, to the point their pressure points had been shattered." I said, analyzing the bodies of the servants. "Their Ki has yet to be awakened, so let's do that to restore their Pressure Points, this should create a chain reaction into their bodies which might restore the incredible damage dealt to them…"

"Broken bones… this one has internal bleeding, if it is not treated soon, he'll die." Eleanora said. "Let me treat him."

"I'll leave him to you." I said.

We both quickly walked around the room, healing all the servants physically before mentally. We ended spending the next three hours intensively treating their bodies. Certainly, Ki is an amazing power, it can be used to restore a body from wounds and damage, and even restore stamina and energy, filling a person with new vitality.

"I think we are mostly done physically, but mentally…"

Eleanora looked at the women within the servants, they had recently woken up, but had no response. Their eyes seemed blackened, completely devoid of light. The things they had gone through completely broke their minds to the point they don't even feel any will to survive. The guild master told us they had refused to eat as well; it seems they want to die.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you die yet." I said, touching the head of one of the maidservants.

Tier 2 Illusion Attribute Magic: Mind Manipulation!

And…

Tier 2 Dream Attribute Magic: Memory Eater!

FLASH!

Both of such spells can only work if the target is unconscious and does not resist, but this woman wasn't even resisting in the first place, so a complete takeover of her mind was without problems. Quickly, I used the spell's powers to manipulate her mind and her memoires and used Memory Eater to devour her memories and destroy them, quickly bringing her mind and memories back before being captured by the bandits. She quickly fell asleep after that.

"This should be it." I said. "It wasn't as hard as I imagined… I can do this more."

"Then let's." Said Eleanora.

We quickly did the same with the rest, even the males who were not violated, but retained such painful memories. Thanks to Eleanora being able to conjure spells now, things became way easier to get do as we divided our work.

At the end, my MP was almost at zero when we finished, even though I had drank the Magical Juice from Apul, Tier 2 Spells use too much Mana, and we were using them constantly as well.

"Oof… I think we are done." Sighed Eleanora.

"Indeed. This was exhausting." I sighed, quickly resting over a chair.

After resting for a few minutes, we walked outside. Frederica's father still seemed skeptical about what we had done, but the servants quickly woke up after that and then we swiftly asked them if they remember anything after the bandit attack.

"The bandit attack…? R-Right… Something happened, right? But… what? Did we got rescued?" Wondered a manservant.

"Lady Frederica! I am so happy you're okay!" Sighed a maidservant.

"Hahh… I feel so tired… Has something happened? Why are we here?" wondered the second maidservant.

"You guys… you're okay? W-Wha…" Frederica was left shocked, but she quickly decided to not adress what happened to them, as it might awaken memories I had devoured. She simply explained to them that they were left unconscious by some sort of toxin until they were rescued.

"Thank you for rescuing our lady, from the bottom of our heart!"

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"We are very grateful for what you've done."

"We can never thank you two enough."

All the servants kneeled and thanked us. It felt awkward, but this was our ticket towards what I wanted, so I simply nodded to their gratefulness.

"It is nothing, don't worry."

Frederica's father looked at the two of us shocked.

"W-What sort of magic did you do?" He asked, as we had moved to a separate room so the servants wouldn't hear our conversation.

"Healing Magic." Said Elearose. "We don't want to talk about what we did, it is a secret."

"But fear not, there wont be any adverse reactions." I said. "If anything, they'll feel even better after fully recovering."

"I-Impressive…" The Merchant Guild Master said. "So… what sort of favor did you wanted to ask? For doing something like this to my daughter's beloved servants, I suppose the only thing I can do to repay you is giving you more money, right? Is that what you wanted?"

"Oh no, money is enough." I said. "What we wanted to ask was for… connections."

"Hm?" Frederica's father eyes quickly shone with a sharp glint. "Connections, you say?"

"As the Merchant Guild Master, you're one of a kind, are you not?" I asked. "In the future, I'll open an Alchemy Item Shop in the capital, I would want your help in setting things up."

"Huh… So you want my patronage, I see." He said. "I suppose that's a rather immense reward you're asking for…"

"We also would like to join the merchant guild for now." Elearose added.

"…Fine." Sighed Frederica's father. "I shall also give you my patronage whenever you open your shop. But it will also depend in the quality of the items you make. If it is something awful, I will immediately stop supporting your shop, so you better practice for the next months until you open your shop, you hear me?"

"We shall not disappoint you. In fact, here's a few free samples. I am sure I will improve upon the recipes later." I said, quickly taking out of my Inventory bag ten potions, five were red and five were blue, these were Lesser Health Potions and Lesser Mana Potions.

"T-They're shining?!" He asked in surprise. "A-And Mana Potions! Those are rather expensive! You can make them at your age, boy?"

"I can, with my sister's help." I said with a smile.

"Please, give it a taste and see for yourself." I said, offering the man the potions.

He quickly opened the Mana Potions I had painstakingly made some days ago using the Alchemy Recipe Book, and drank a bit of one of them.

"Ngh?!"

FLASH!

His entire body quickly shone with a blue light, as his MP was restored a bit.

"No adverse effects… a delicious, sweet, and soothing tea-like flavor… and it is effective immediately after consumption! I-Incredible…! This quality can only be expected of Royal Alchemists!"

He seemed pleased.
