I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 70

The daughter of former General Brol, Miss Sheila.

It seems that she is not at the Welta family home, but at her family’s home, the Hillford Viscountcy.

After sending the advance notice, I went to meet Miss Sheilard.

I walked towards the viscount’s residence.

I thought there would be servants and gatekeepers, making it lively, but the Hillford Viscount’s residence was quiet, with only one gatekeeper standing.

Due to the incident, she feared being criticized for returning home. She quietly welcomed me.

How is Lord Sheilard’s health?

“My daughter’s health isn’t very good. Why are you concerned about her?”

“I met with former General Brol. When I asked him why he got involved in the incident, he said it was for the treatment of Lord Sheilard.”

If the treatment for magical illness is done properly, it seems like there is no difference from normal life.

So, she came to check on her current condition.

“I see. My daughter is over here.”

In the room at the very end of the second-floor hallway, she was lying in bed.

“Sheila, we have a customer.”

“I’m sorry for being dressed like this.”

She rose with a faint voice. Indeed, she felt so ephemeral that she seemed about to disappear at any moment. Surely, her father had been captured, and she had returned to the viscount’s house from the Welta family, perhaps with no will to live.

“Nice to meet you, I am Yuria Osborn. I came today to meet Lord Sheilard.”

“Lady Yuria, nice to meet you. I am Sheilard Welta. Due to my magical power disorder, I have been in bed a lot lately, but I am happy to be cared for. But how did you come to know about me?”

Sheila, who had a reserved smile, listened attentively. The lady who guided her was gently wiping away her tears.

“I heard it from former General Brol. He seemed concerned about the current state of Lord Sheilard.”

“I’m really sorry about my father. I didn’t know he was involved in the coup because of me. I’m truly sorry.”

“Please don’t apologize to me. I just came to check on your condition out of curiosity. It must be tough for you, right? Please lie down.”

Without casting a suspicious glance at me who suddenly appeared, she just kept apologizing.

If I were a commoner, you would have been suspicious and wouldn’t have even met me, but I am still technically an earl’s daughter.

Thanks to my noble title, I was never turned away.

The lady welcomed me because she knew the Osborne family.

I have no idea what the other nobles think of me, but considering the marriage proposal I received last year, I might still be considered a minor noble.

“Excuse me.”

Her complexion is indeed bad.

It must be tough just to get up.

After I made her lie down, I sat on the chair next to the bed and took her hand.

“I’ll take a look at the flow of magic.”

I try to channel my magic as if I were treating a patient at the clinic. It feels deeply moving to think that my experience helping out at the clinic is being put to use here.

The lady is watching intently with a worried expression.

As expected, the flow of magical energy is very poor.

In her case, it might not be a symptom of her magic not being compatible with her body, but rather that her ability to channel magic outward is weaker than that of others.

The magical power lost its way, forming small clumps that gradually grew larger. There are quite a few large clumps blocking her magical circuits.

Just as the master said.

I wonder if they were only given the bare minimum treatment just to keep them alive.

Using my magical power, I break apart the large mass of magic on the spot and then begin the incantation.

Right now, the only thing I can do is find a way to steal her magic. If I take all the excess magic from her, it should last for a while until a mass of magic is formed.

“There might be a little pain, but please bear with it.”

“Yes”

I am gradually siphoning off the magical power. I was able to remove the large mass I crushed earlier, but there are still countless small fragments remaining, making it difficult to do it all at once.

However, as the mass of magical energy shrank and she was deprived of her magic, a flush began to appear on her face.
