§ 4. Fatal Illness

Agarofione Sword Emperor Palace.

Ricardo led us to a spacious room on the upper floor, one decorated with a luxurious rug and table, among other furnishings. In a large bed at the center of the room lay a girl, sleeping, bangles encircling her arms. They appeared to be some kind of magic tool.

“Mm...”

The girl stirred at the sound of us entering and slowly turned in our direction. Her long red hair reflected the ambient room light, and framed her elegant face. She gazed at us curiously.

“I’ve returned, Sylvia,” Ricardo said, a gentle look in his eyes.

“Welcome back, father. Who are the guests?” she asked. For someone who had just woken up, her tone was remarkably clear.“They’re visitors from the world above ground. I was unable to obtain the elixir today, but this man said he may be able to heal your illness.” Ricardo gestured at me with a hand. “This is Sir Anos Voldigoad.”

“Nice to meet you,” I said.

In response, Sylvia sat up in bed and bowed her head politely. “Thank you for coming all the way here. I am King Diedrich’s retainer, Dragon Knight Sylvia Arbitias. The pleasure is all mine.”

She offered a handshake, and while I accepted I observed her with my Magic Eyes.

The flow of her magic was stagnant. As predicted, her illness was rather severe.

“I apologize, my explanation was lacking,” Ricardo said, “My daughter is afflicted with an illness called draconic deficiency, and it involves—”

“Magic leaking out of the body, in the manner of an open hole in a vessel, eventually leading to death,” I answered. “The bangles around her arms are to seal the magic from escaping her source, but they cannot keep it fully contained.”

Ricardo looked surprised. “Does the same illness exist above ground?”

“No, I just examined her now. The illness seems to be caused by an organ unique to dragonborn.” I peered into the abyss of her illness. “Hmm. A part of her magic organ is functioning out of control. That appears to be what’s causing it.”

Ricardo exhaled in astonishment. “What? You analyzed the symptoms and cause of draconic deficiency in mere seconds?”

“If her magic organ is treated, her draconic deficiency will be cured.”

“It can be treated?” Sylvia asked hesitantly.

“That won’t be a problem.”

“B-But Sir Anos, draconic deficiency is an illness that cannot be cured even with the power of the Keeper of Restoration. With the exception of the alpha dragon elixir, nothing magical has any effect,” Ricardo said.

“But even the alpha dragon elixir isn’t a cure; it only eases the symptoms and prevents the illness from progressing. Am I correct?”

Ricardo nodded shamefully.

“Y-Yes, that is correct. The elixir’s effects lasts for a year, and only if the user doesn’t perform any major spells. Otherwise, the symptoms will worsen again.”,

“Then in all likelihood, this alpha dragon elixir is essentially a poison. It paralyzes part of the magic organ that just so happens to coincide with the part that functions out of control, and as a result suppresses the symptoms of dragon deficiency.”

I drew a magic circle on Sylvia’s body.
