The palace had grown quiet as the night deepened.
"Hmm, the condition is bad."
After saying this, Zyric takes out the packet.
The packet is shaped like an eye and fits perfectly over the eyes.
Zyric carefully places it over Elysia's eyes.
Elysia keeps her sword pointed at Zyric so that if he tries anything suspicious, she can drive it straight into his stomach.
As soon as Zyric places the strange liquid containing nanobots over Elysia's eyes, the nanobots and the liquid begin to enter her eyes directly.
Elysia's eyes are already numb, so she doesn't notice anything or feel any pain. Otherwise, the nanobots would cause at least a little discomfort, as Diana had explained.
Zyric watches carefully as the nanobots and liquid enter Elysia's eyes.
After a little while, Elysia suddenly begins to feel some pain, which gradually grows worse.
Because of this, Elysia swings her sword toward Zyric without thinking twice.
Zyric is startled when he sees this.
However, the next moment, someone grabs Elysia's hand from behind.
Elysia cannot turn around to look at the person behind her because the eye she would use to see who has grabbed her hand is the very one that is damaged.
As a result, Elysia immediately begins struggling, trying to free herself from their grasp.
Zyric realizes that if Elysia moves too much, the liquid might spill. It's extremely expensive, and only a little remains. Once the remaining liquid has been used, Elysia's eyes should be healed.
Zyric immediately holds Elysia firmly by the hands to ensure that the liquid enters her eyes completely.
In the confusion, Zyric also places his hand on Elysia's waist.
Because of this, Elysia feels extremely awkward and uncomfortable.
Before long, all the liquid successfully enters Elysia's eyes.
Afterward, as Zyric moves away from Elysia, he realizes what he's done.
He immediately steps away from her and returns the Velociraptor to his Fuzan Vault. It was the Velociraptor that had grabbed Elysia's hand from behind.
"Look, Princess..."
Zyric thinks Princess Elysia is about to attack him. However, Elysia immediately heads toward the door so she can alert the soldiers outside and call her brothers and father.
But before she can open the door, someone grabs her hands.
Zyric has caught hold of Elysia's hands.
"Princess Elysia, you don't understand. You'll be fine by morning. You just need to sleep. When you wake up, your eyes will be healed."
Zyric says to Elysia with a smile.
However, Elysia doesn't trust his words even a little.
She swings her sword and points it directly at Zyric, trying to make him step back and give her a chance to open the door.
Zyric isn't used to dodging attacks like these.
But the next moment, Fat Insect suddenly flies between them like a stone and collides with the sword.
As a result, the sword breaks in half.
In a way, Fat Insect has literally eaten its way through the middle of the sword.
Elysia is also shocked to see this.
The next moment, she throws a punch straight at Zyric's face.
However, Zyric catches her punch with ease.
Zyric is stronger than her because he has already generated a Fuzan Vault. Elysia, who hasn't generated one, is only as strong as an ordinary human.
"Look, Princess Elysia, I'm much stronger than you. If I wanted to do something wrong, I would be capable of doing it. But I'm not that kind of person. Alright? All I want to tell you is that you'll be fine by morning."
After saying this, Zyric steps back and lets go of Princess Elysia's hands.
By now, Elysia has calmed down.
If Zyric truly wanted Elysia for himself, he could have asked the King for her hand in marriage that very day, but he hadn't.
Elysia is still shocked that a boy like Zyric would go to such lengths just to fulfill his promise.
However, Zyric makes it sound so easy to heal her eyes within just three or four hours that Elysia finds it difficult to believe him.
Elysia keeps watching Zyric as he prepares to leave.
"Anyway, don't worry. If you still think I've taken advantage of you, I'm not going to leave this clan. I'll stay right here. If you recover, that's great. And if you don't, you'll find me in the slum. If you can't find me during the day, you'll definitely find me at night. And by saying you'll find me at night, I don't mean anything inappropriate. I simply spend most of my time in the clan at night. I'm not here during the day. I can't meet you inside the clan during the day, but at night, I'll definitely be here. So, you can easily find me."
Zyric says to Elysia before jumping out through a strange window.
Elysia continues watching him leave, unable to understand what he is trying to tell her or how he could possibly heal her eyes with such mysterious magic.
His claim that her eyes will recover within just three or four hours makes it even harder for her to believe him.
The only question left is whether Zyric's mysterious treatment will truly work—or whether Elysia will wake up to the same darkness the next morning.
