Invicinble Colorless Butler-Chapter 303 39
That night, Ziel dreamt about a middle-aged man with a face similar to his before he was reincarnated. The man possessed terrifying strength and made Ziel tremble even though he was far away from him.
Apart from that man, Ziel also saw another person with extraordinary power in his dream. But their faces were blurry, and he couldn't see the characteristics of the people. They fought against a man similar to Ziel, and the battle was intense, far more terrifying than Ziel's fight against the guardians of the continent.
Ziel couldn't help but stand still with cold sweat running down his face as he watched that incredible battle. The world shook violently, and the mountains crumbled into a massive crater due to the wind from the impact of their casual clash. The sight looks fantastic and scary at the same time. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
As Ziel focused on watching the battle, an attack from the man who bore a resemblance to him suddenly shot at him and woke him up from his dream.
"Aaaaah!" Ziel screamed and woke up from his sleep with his body wet with sweat and gasping for breath.
"Ziel, what happened to you?" Kalya also woke up after hearing his scream. She looked worried when she saw Ziel's condition. Ziel took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he looked at Kalya and smiled weakly.
"I'm sorry for waking you up. I am alright. I just had a nightmare." Ziel gently stroked Kalya's cheek and said apologetically. He felt guilty for having woken her up and also worried for him.
It wasn't the first time for Ziel. After his intimate activities with Azalia last night, he also had the same dream. But in his dream at that time, Ziel was not hit by that attack. He felt that something strange had happened to him.
Ziel had two guesses about his current situation. First, this happened because he had defeated the Archaic Knight. But Ziel felt a little doubtful about this. If that was the case, he should have dreamed about it when he lost consciousness after defeating him.
Second, Ziel had that dream after intimate activities with Azalia, which was most likely the reason. He had such a dream right after their bodies and souls fused. Ziel was sure that Azalia had something to do with the matter.
If Ziel still had the same dream for the next few days, he had to find out the cause and start with Azalia, the person he suspected was related to his current situation.
"You don't need to apologize to me. The most important thing is that you're okay." Azalia closed her eyes, enjoyed Ziel's caress, and squeezed his hand on her cheek.
"Thank you, Leya. I'm fine now. We should go back to sleep because it's still the middle of the night." Ziel said and kissed Kalya's forehead.
"Yes. Let's go back to sleep." Kalya smiled and nodded slightly. They hugged and felt the warmth of each other's bodies. It made Ziel and Kalya feel comfortable, and they fell back asleep easily.

The sun shone brightly on the Aurelia Kingdom and indicated that the Five Kingdoms Conference had ended. The participants were scheduled to return to their respective territories at noon, except for the participants from the Rubelia Kingdom. The latter had returned to their kingdom right after the conference ended yesterday.
Because of the report that Princess Freya had given, King Gustave was worried about the situation in his kingdom and decided to return early along with the participants.
The heroes, Prince Albert and Princess Reina did not return with them because King Gustave feared that the situation there was still not safe. According to information from Princess Freya, the danger there is over. But he had to confirm it directly with his eyes.
In addition, King Leonida had also asked him for permission to borrow Megumi. After King Gustave heard his reason was to cure his wife, he quickly agreed. So, the heroes, their sons, and daughters will return with King Jonathan directly to the Piqmentia Grand Academy because their vacation is about to end.
In a room within the castle of the Aurelia Kingdom, King Leonida and his daughter looked anxiously at Megumi, who checked Queen Helena's condition on the bed. Hikaru and the other heroes didn't accompany her because they were resting in their room. Besides, King Leonida didn't want the place to become too crowded and disturb his wife's comfort.
Prince Fritz was not with them because King Leonida assigned him to take care of the royal affairs after the Five Kingdoms Conference. It was his training as a successor to the throne.
"How is my wife, Miss Megumi? Can you heal her?" King Leonida asked impatiently.
"Father, please don't disturb Megumi's concentration while checking on her mother's condition." Princess Freya reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I want to know the result immediately. I hope that Miss Megumi can heal your mother." King Leonida whispered to his daughter.
Not long after, King Leonida and Princess Freya heard Megumi's heavy sigh. The two fathers and daughters quickly approached her.
"How was your examination result Megumi? Can you cure my mother's illness?" Princess Freya asked with a hopeful face. But then she and her father were disappointed to see Megumi shaking her head.
"I'm sorry, but I can't cure it. I've examined Queen Helena thoroughly and carefully but can't find the source of her illness. If I can't figure out what happened to her, then there's nothing I can do about it." Megumi felt sad and guilty in her heart for not being able to live up to their expectations.
"Do you have any other way to cure or improve her condition? I mean that the disease is less frequent than usual." King Leonida hoped that Megumi had another solution for his wife's illness because she was a Saintess and a hero.
Megumi felt helpless to answer King Leonida's question because she didn't know about Queen Helena's illness. But the voice of Queen Helena saved him from that situation.
"Dear, please don't stress Miss Megumi with your words. I understand very well how my condition is right now and how difficult it is to heal. So please don't burden her with your request." Queen Helena slowly got up from her sleeping position.
"Mother! You shouldn't do a lot of movement until you're in better shape!" Princess Freya quickly helped her mother to sit on her bed.
"I'm fine, Freya." Queen Helena said softly, then looked at Megumi.
"I apologize for troubling you, Miss Megumi. You don't have to think about my husband's request. I know how I am, so you don't have to feel guilty about not being able to heal me." Queen Helena said and lowered her head slightly.
"Please raise your head, Your Majesty Queen Helena! I understand His majesty King Leonida's feelings! I should be the one apologizing for my incompetence!" Megumi panicked when she saw Queen Helena bow her head, and she subconsciously did the same with her.
"Ahaha... Thank you. You can go back to your friends. I will speak to my husband. Otherwise, he might continue to urge you to find a way to deal with my illness." Queen Helena smiled gently and glared at King Leonida.
"Haa... All right. Thank you for taking the time to come here and check on my wife." King Leonida sighed and reluctantly followed his wife's words.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I apologize for being helpless about Queen Helena's illness. In that case, I'll take my leave first." Megumi bowed her head to Queen Helena and King Leonida.
"I'll take you back to your room, Megumi." Princess Freya looked at her parents, and both nodded at her. They couldn't let Megumi return alone after they asked her for help.
"Thank you, Princess Freya." Megumi nodded, and she left the room together with Princess Freya.
While accompanying Megumi back to her room, Princess Freya was silent, thinking about Queen Helena's condition. Although she didn't hope that Megumi could cure her mother's illness, she couldn't help but feel disappointed when she found out that Megumi couldn't do anything about it. Princess Freya could only sigh heavily in her heart and try to shake off the feeling. Megumi's voice brought her back to her senses as she was lost in her thoughts.
"Princess Freya… Princess Freya…" Megumi raised her voice because Princess Freya didn't respond after she called out to her so many times.
"Ah! What's wrong, Megumi?" Princess Freya jolted and looked at Megumi in confusion.
"We have arrived at my room. Once more, I apologize for my helplessness regarding your mother's illness, Princess Freya." Megumi lowered her head to Princess Freya.
"You don't have to do that, Megumi! I should be the one apologizing to you for troubling you with my mother's illness. So please don't think about it anymore." Princess Freya said apologetically because she felt guilty when she saw Megumi's face.
"I understand. Then, I'll go in first, Princess Freya." Megumi nodded and entered the room. After the door closed, Princess Freya sighed and walked out of place. The direction she was heading wasn't her mother's room but the area where the participants from the Neigal Kingdom lived, to be more precise, was Duke Castilene's room.
When Princess Freya reached her destination and entered the room, she saw Clara and the other girls were already there. Duke Castilene and his wife weren't there because they and the other participants from the Neigal Kingdom had a meeting with King Jonathan before returning to his territory.
"Where's Ziel?" Princess Freya asked because she didn't see Ziel anywhere in the room. Kalya and the girls looked at each other and smiled when they heard the question.
"You better sit down first. We're discussing the problem that I talked about yesterday. Ziel was in his room to check the power of the Archaic Knight he had just obtained. He doesn't want any problems or side effects on his body because of it." Kalya smiled and pointed at an empty chair provided for Princess Freya. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
"I understand." Princess Freya said without energy. She didn't look as cheerful as usual, and the girls noticed it immediately.
"Has something happened, Freya?" Kalya asks worriedly. She had forgotten the topic they were supposed to discuss when she saw Princess Freya's face. The other girls also didn't care about it because the most important thing was her condition.
"It's nothing. I was only thinking about my mother." Princess Freya smiled weakly.
"Is aunt's disease relapsed again?" Princess Aishia knew about Queen Helena's illness because she had seen her faint before her eyes, and Princess Freya told her the reason behind her condition.
"Yes. My mother's illness relapsed a few days ago. But her current condition looks worse than usual. That's why my father asked Megumi to check and then heal her. But Megumi couldn't do it because she didn't know about my mother's illness." Princess Freya told this without hesitation because she believed in the girls and already considered them like her sisters. Kyouka at the table nodded because she knew about it.
"Are you looking for Ziel to ask him to heal your mother?" Kalya quickly figured out why Princess Freya was looking for Ziel just as she came. Princess Freya nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"You don't have to worry. After Ziel comes out, we'll ask him to help heal your mother. He will do it for you." Kalya held Princess Freya's hand and squeezed it to calm her down. Then she saw Princess Aishia and the girls.
"We will discuss this issue later. But the point is, I got a positive answer from Ziel last night." Kalya smiled and decided to postpone their conversation.
The girls smiled happily when they heard his words. Her sentence was enough to relieve their hearts, and the girls also had no intention of having such a conversation when one of them was having problems. Clara and the other girls nodded in agreement with Kalya's words, and their support warmed Princess Freya's heart.
"You…" Princess Freya looked at the girls and said in a hoarse voice. Her eyes were filled with tears because of their sincere concern for her. Even though she and the girls had only known each other for less than a year, they treated her like family. Of course, Princess Aishia was an exception, as the two were childhood friends. Just as Princess Freya was about to continue her speech, the door in Ziel's room opened, and the figure of a man with gray hair appeared and caught the girls' attention at the table.
"Let's go to where your mother is, Freya. I will try to cure her." Ziel smiled and looked at Princess Freya. He heard their conversation even though he was focused on checking the Archaic Knight's strength.
"Yes!" Princess Freya showed a beaming smile when she heard the first words coming from Ziel's mouth. The girls at the table and the boy she loved cared deeply for her. Princess Freya felt like the luckiest woman on the continent to have known them.
