Chapter 65: Healing

The next day, Swana said goodbye to Curtis to visit Yerenika and Noel. It meant something when Swana's plan began. She couldn't wait to hand over the burden to the true heir to the kingdom.

"But I want you to bring an army to prevent anything from happening again," Curtis said.

"Of course. I won't go against your orders, my dear. That incident was enough to deter me."

Curtis smiled with relief at Swana's decision. Had she refused then he would not have hesitated to argue until Swana was willing to bring the troops. Fortunately, he did not have to.

"If so I'll order Sam to prepare. "

Swana didn't argue with Curtis either. She nodded and prepared with a thicker cloak, for it was already fall. The yellowing leaves were already falling. Many trees had lost their flowers and leaves, leaving sturdy branches. Later on, the branch would be re-grown with leaves and flowers.

'Will I still be here in the coming fall?' Swana asked herself.

Because she didn't want to be here anymore. Swana wanted to be where she really belonged. In the beach house, she owned and away from the political world of the kingdom. With Curtis, of course.

Swana's reverie was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Nancy came with a worried face. Her eyes seemed to want to stop all Swana's plans.

"My Queen, please don't do this," Nancy pleaded in a soft voice. "Commander Curtis will be very angry if he finds out everything."

Swana rubbed Nancy's hand.

"I feel tired Aunty. I'm tired of all the responsibilities I suddenly have to shoulder. I am not a queen who can relax and have fun," Swana replied.

Although many said they were satisfied with Swana's leadership, the girl was not happy at all. She just wanted to be a woman of the house who raised her children to be great people. And serve her husband wholeheartedly. A quiet life without any political problems.

Nancy couldn't believe that Swana had been tormented all this time. She was raised as a noblewoman who should be able to handle everything. She was disappointed with Swana's decision.

Seeing Nancy no longer speaking, Swana walked to the door. She was greeted by Sam who was currently Swana's head of surveillance.

"Curtis is really overdoing it," Swana said when she saw Samuel.

"That's because he's worried about you."

Of course Swana knew. Her kidnapping seemed to have traumatized Curtis.

Swana no longer wanted to delay her departure. She was afraid that Eden would leave if she had not arrived yet. She quickly walked to the palace courtyard which was now filled with soldiers.

He prepared to get on, but a voice stopped him from getting on the carriage.

"You must be careful."

Curtis arrived with several people on his left and right. Her husband frowned as Swana seemed unwilling to wait for him and excused herself.

"How cruel, why didn't you wait for me when you wanted to leave," Curtis complained.

"I didn't want to interrupt your meeting with your confidants. I'll only be a minute anyway," Swana replied. She walked towards Curtis and hugged him for a moment.

"Well, you must promise to come as soon as possible. "

"Yes, I promise," Swana replied with a beautiful smile.

Curtis lifted Swana easily and carried her into the carriage. Then he got out. His eyes never left Swana for a second.

Swana waved as Samuel shouted for departure. All of this was really too much. But this was the only way he could see Eden and Yerenika.

Meanwhile, Eden, who saw Swana's departure through the magic crystal ball, smiled. He was actually relieved to know that Swana kept her promise to meet him in this villa.

"Eden," called Yerenika.

Of course, Yerenika did not consider Eden an enemy at all because the witches were a royal alliance.

"Yes? Do you have a problem princess?" Eden asked.

It had been a long time since Eden had seen Yerenika and it was a surprise to find her a grown-up girl ready for marriage.

"Is it true that you can heal Noel?" Yerenika asked. She really couldn't bear to see failure again. She had always hoped that Noel's psyche could be restored but every healer who came along just gave up. This broke her heart.

"Yes, I never say nonsense," said Eden.

All he wanted was freedom and now it was time to get it.

"Thank God, I'm so relieved to hear that," Yerenika whispered.

She followed the direction of Eden's gaze as she looked at the crystal ball. To be honest, she did not know why Eden was looking at the ball. Because the ball had absolutely nothing special other than being white and made of clear crystal.

Yerenika and Eden had to wait a while for Swana to arrive. She was so happy that she eagerly went to Noel's room.

"Did you hear Noel? You will recover and we will return to the royal city. When that time comes, you will be made king," said Yerenika while holding her brother's hand.

"Our dream will come true and I will be a happy princess. Please get well, Noel."

Everything Yerenika said was heard by Eden. It turned out that it was not only him and Swana who had a dream with Noel's recovery. There are many people who want Noel's recovery in order to achieve their dreams.

"I hope all the conflicts between the witch nation and the werewolves end with Noel's recovery."

Finally, the moment Eden and Yerenika were waiting for arrived. The galloping steps of a group of horses could be heard approaching. It meant that Swana had arrived. Yerenika was getting excited and welcomed Swana in the front yard of the villa.

Yerenika hugged Swana as soon as the Sinclair queen arrived. Yerenika felt lucky to have a good cousin like Swana.

"Thank goodness you're okay."

Yerenika was also worried about Swana. She had heard through her eyes that Swana had been kidnapped. Luckily Swana was safe and sound.

Swana nodded.

"Let's go inside. Let's talk inside."

 He walked towards the villa holding Yerenika's hand. Meanwhile, the soldiers immediately surrounded the villa for security.

Swana obviously could not speak freely outside because Samuel was there. In fact, she was worried if Samuel smelled Eden. So she hurriedly invited Yerenika inside.

'Don't let Samuel get suspicious and find Eden,' Swana thought.

Yerenika complied. Then ordered all the servants to man the doors and windows. She had heard about the conflict between Eden and Curtis. So she knew that Swana's decision was very dangerous.

"You guard the doors and windows. Don't let anyone in," Yerenika ordered.

"Okay."

Swana immediately went to Eden who was dressed as a servant. She wanted to laugh but the situation did not allow her to joke. So Swana immediately asked Eden to heal Noel.

" Eden. Please heal Noel now," Swana begged.

"You won't break the promise we made, right?" Eden asked.

"I took this journey and jeopardized my relationship with Curtis to fulfill our agreement. See, I have brought the pardon letter and the royal seal for you."

Swana showed a paper that she stamped with the royal seal. It was written that the kingdom of Sinclair forgave all sins and released Eden from all legal charges.

Eden smiled with satisfaction. He wanted to take the letter but was pulled away by Swana.

"Heal Noel first."

Eden nodded and turned to Noel who was sitting with blank eyes. Eden's hand went towards her head. Soon a faint light was seen from Eden's hand.

Yerenika and Swana waited for the miracle to happen. They remained silent and palpitating. It turned out that the healing took a long time. So Swana and Yerenika just stood still while waiting for the results.
