My Second Engagement: Loved by the Duke’s Son and Thanked for My Healing Magic ~ My Selfish Sister Took My Fiancé, but Gave Him Back Because She Didn’t Want Him Anymore~ - Episode 17

The healing facility was more crowded than expected.

Even though only those with reservations were allowed in, and the palace staff was managing everything, there were still many people.

Each applicant had to write down their symptoms briefly. The most urgent cases, such as blindness or paralysis, were given priority. Some requests, like wanting more hair or a bigger chest, were rejected.

Since it was the first day, there were many seriously ill patients.

“Heal, Heal.”

“Heal, Heal.”

“Heal, Heal.”

“Heal, Heal.”

“Heal, Heal.”

I cast healing magic on each person one after another.

“Amazing! The numbness in my whole body is gone, and I can walk!”

“My eyes… I can see!”

“The exhaustion I’ve felt for years is completely gone. Thank you so much!”

They left with big smiles.

Just seeing this made me happy.

Maybe it was because I knew the joy of being freed from pain myself.

Today’s treatments ended earlier than expected.

Lord Julite, who had been watching over me the whole time, prepared some tea after the last patient left.

Even though he looked different due to the disguise, he was still the same Lord Julite.

“Thank you.”

“No, no, you worked hard. Are you feeling tired anywhere?”

He always worried about me.

It made me happy and grateful.

Wanting to ease his concerns, I smiled at him.

“Casting magic is fun for me, and seeing everyone so happy makes me happy too.”

“Rei… ahem, I mean, Lord Relele, please don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Lord Juju, you are always so kind. Thank you.”

Since I was disguised as a man, I was now called “Relele.”

Lord Julite was also using an alias, “Juju.” In disguise, his hair and eyes were black, giving him a slightly intimidating look, but his kindness remained the same.

As for me, I appeared as a man in his twenties, with an ordinary face.

I wanted to look cool, but that would cause unnecessary trouble, so I chose a plain appearance instead.

There was still time before the magic wore off.

We got into a special carriage prepared just for traveling between the healing facility and the palace.

“Heal, Heal.”

“Heal, Heal.”

Inside the carriage, I cast healing magic on myself and Lord Julite, breaking the disguise spell.

“Seeing Reina’s cute face again makes me relieved.”

“Wha… that was too sudden!”

“But I love you just as much in your Relele form. Shall I hug you?”

Lord Julite smiled playfully.

Even as Reina, I had never been hugged by him before.

“Please don’t tease me…”

I wished he would stop joking around.

Ever since our misunderstanding was cleared and we became engaged, Lord Julite had been saying unexpected things out of nowhere.

Every time, I probably turned bright red…

“…Ah!”

“You worked hard today, Reina.”

Lord Julite gently smiled and patted my head.

My face turned even redder, as if steam was about to rise from my head.

“Reina, you are amazing.”

“You mean my light healing magic?”

“No, no. Of course, your magic is wonderful, but that’s just magic. What makes you truly amazing is something else.”

Inside the carriage, just the two of us, Lord Julite’s deep blue eyes drew closer and closer to my face.

It was so close that if I moved even a little, our lips might touch.

“You feel happiness when you see others happy. That’s not something just anyone can do.”

“A-Ahh…!”

“You have always cared about saving people’s lives… ever since long ago.”

His face was so close that I couldn’t even properly hear what he was saying.
