Chapter 127: The Third Princess’s Visit! Arrangements for the Moonlight Sacred Spring [2]

After all, Cecilia wasn’t some ordinary noble lady. She was the Empire’s Third Princess, and more importantly, she was suffering from the extremely dangerous Abyssal Heart Erosion Curse.

No matter how one looked at it, there was no possibility that she would rashly travel to a noble family’s territory for treatment without making sufficient preparations.

"What did the family say?"

Victor raised his head and looked at Evelyn.

"They’ve already confirmed everything."

Evelyn took another document from the papers in her hand and placed it on the desk.

"The Moonlight Sacred Spring is currently available for use, and the family has also agreed to arrange a separate treatment session for Her Highness the Third Princess."

She paused briefly before adding.

"Although it wasn’t originally scheduled to open for another twenty-three days, the family agreed to make an exception and open it early at your request."

Hearing this answer, Victor nodded with satisfaction.

The Moonlight Sacred Spring controlled by the Alves family was no ordinary healing facility.

As one of the family’s extremely precious special resources, the Moonlight Sacred Spring could not only accelerate physical recovery but also harmonize the mana within one’s body. It was also quite effective against injuries caused by certain special energies.

However, the Abyssal Heart Erosion Curse was ultimately no ordinary injury.

Victor knew perfectly well that relying on the Moonlight Sacred Spring alone could, at most, delay the curse’s erosion. It was fundamentally incapable of completely removing it.

During their first treatment, Victor had used Mana Devour to clear the outer layer of Cecilia’s curse, reducing the erosion from 37% to 31% and extending her safe period by twenty-nine days.

To complete the subsequent purification, he would have to combine the Moonlight Sacred Spring with Mana Devour.

The Spring session was the second stage he had already planned with Cecilia. She knew he intended to continue treating her, but the precise nature of his ability remained his secret.

Of course, he had no intention of revealing Mana Devour to Cecilia for the time being, nor was there any need for the family’s healers to know about it.

"Did the family impose any conditions?" Victor asked.

"No."

Evelyn shook her head.

"The steward responsible for managing the Moonlight Sacred Spring said that since you personally made the request, Young Master, everything would be arranged according to your wishes."

"I see."

A smile involuntarily appeared on Victor’s face.

It had to be said that possessing the status of a ducal family member could sometimes save one a great deal of trouble.

If this had been an ordinary academy student without any background, forget about using the Moonlight Sacred Spring; they probably wouldn’t even have had the qualifications to make such a request.

However, Victor didn’t allow himself to become carried away by this.

Although family resources were convenient, that didn’t mean he could squander them without restraint. After all, if he truly wanted to establish himself in this world, he would ultimately need to possess his own strength and influence.

"Then have them make the necessary preparations first."

Victor put down the document and continued.

"Once Cecilia confirms her travel arrangements and the privacy measures, we’ll arrange our departure as soon as possible."

"Understood." Evelyn nodded.

Evelyn made a mental note of the remaining arrangements. Transport, accommodations, and the personnel accompanying them would all need to be coordinated with the family estate. Given Cecilia’s position, even a minor oversight could attract unwanted attention, something neither Victor nor the princess could afford at such a sensitive time.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she seemed to remember something.

"Young Master, do you intend to personally accompany Her Highness to the family territory?"

"Of course."

Victor answered naturally.

Evelyn glanced at him.

"But didn’t you previously say that you planned to enter the Inferno Prison Secret Realm as soon as possible?"

"Delaying it a few days won’t make much difference." Victor smiled. "Besides, we already agreed that I would oversee the next stage of Cecilia’s treatment. I can’t simply send her to the family territory and leave her to handle everything herself, can I?"

Evelyn considered this for a moment before finally nodding.

"That’s true."

Victor didn’t explain further.

In reality, his willingness to personally accompany Cecilia to the family territory naturally wasn’t motivated purely by courtesy.

After all, Cecilia not only possessed royal status but was also an exceptionally talented professional herself.

An investment target like her was definitely worth taking seriously.

Thinking of this, a trace of anticipation flashed through Victor’s eyes.

However, before seeing the actual results, he wouldn’t rush to any conclusions.

...

Eleven o’clock in the morning.

Starlight Royal Academy, VIP Reception Hall.

When Victor entered the room, Cecilia was already seated inside, waiting for him.

Today, she wore a pale white dress, and her long silver-white hair fell naturally over her shoulders. Her exquisite face still carried the elegant bearing unique to a member of the imperial family, although compared to their previous meeting, her complexion was noticeably paler.

"Victor."

Seeing him enter, a faint smile appeared on Cecilia’s face.

"I heard your injuries have completely healed?"

"Yes, that’s right." Victor sat down opposite her and replied with a smile. "At least I don’t have to listen to those healers nagging in my ears every day anymore."

Hearing that familiar tone, Cecilia couldn’t help chuckling. "It seems you’ve indeed recovered quite well."

"As for you..." Victor glanced at her. "How have you been feeling recently?"

Hearing this question, the smile on Cecilia’s face faded slightly.

"Not too bad."

She paused before continuing.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable occasionally."

Victor didn’t immediately respond. Judging from Cecilia’s expression, she clearly hadn’t revealed the full extent of her condition.

However, that wasn’t particularly surprising.

The Abyssal Heart Erosion Curse not only eroded the body but also interfered with the normal circulation of mana. For professionals, problems involving mana were often far more troublesome than ordinary injuries.

"In that case, let’s get straight to business."
