Chapter 50 – ​50

Honestly, ​Euro ​had ​never ​imagined ​he ​would receive painkillers ​from ​Larry, ​so ​he ​looked down at the ​table ​with a somewhat ​blank expression.

“It might ​not ​work ​for ​the ​person ​actually cursed, but ​it’ll ​work ​for you. To ​be fair, it’s just ​a painkiller, ​so it ​has no ​curative effect, ​but ​it ​should be enough ​for you ​to get around as ​usual.”

“……You.”

“Well? Aren’t you touched?”

Larry ​placed his hands on ​his hips ​with ​a triumphant look. It was a ​classic case of giving ​the ​disease ​and ​then ​the cure. He ​was the ​one ​who had cast ​the ​curse that put Euro in ​this state, ​yet ​here he was, ​acting ​so ​smug.

Baffled, ​Euro ​stared blankly ​at ​Larry and ​spoke.

“You really are trash.”

“What?”

“Are you telling me ​to take painkillers ​and come back ​here? All because of ​some love ​drug?”

“I’m so speechless ​I ​can’t even talk…… ​You’re the one ​who insisted ​that ​the love ​drug ​must [unauthorized copy]be ​used ​even if ​it ​kills ​you. Do you ​think ​I stolen contentcan ​make ​dozens ​of ​bottles of this at once?”

“That’s because you’re not used to doing it. If you try, you can do anything.”

“Hey, give it back.”

Larry angrily tried to take back the medicine he had placed on the table, but Euro quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into his inner pocket.

“Since when do you give something and then take it back? Do you have no business ethics?”

“You’re the one with no business ethics. This is a total thief’s mentality.”

“I’ll just pay you. How much do you want?”

“In times like this, you’re supposed to say thank you for saving your life.”

“You didn’t save my life, so why would I thank you for it? It’s not like you’re going to lift the curse.”

At Euro’s words, Larry stopped dead in his tracks and shut his mouth. Seeing this, Euro muttered to himself.

‘That’s right, feel some guilt. Do you know how many people have died because of your curse?’

While Larry seemed to care for him for the moment, Euro was, stolen contentin fact, a victim stolen contentof the curse as well. Furthermore, [stolen content]this wasn’t limited to Euro alone.

There were descendants of the Spioren Family who had died generation after generation for the sin of being linked by blood to a wrong ancestor, and dozens of Duchesses who had been practically sold off, only to die after giving birth to children.

This wasn’t something that could be offset by a single painkiller. Of course, Euro didn’t know what kind of ill will existed between Larry and the first Duke, Carlton.

He could only guess that there was something more beyond the superficial reason that Carlton had betrayed Larry. After all, his curse was very deep and had a truly vicious side to it.

However, since Larry remained silent, Euro cautiously gauged his reaction. He felt as though his words had pierced him a bit too deeply. If he was unlucky, far from lifting the curse, he might just earn Larry’s hatred.

“I mean, well, I am grateful. Coming to see you is quite fun for me. There’s no one at the Dukedom I can talk to so openly.”

At Euro’s words, Larry slowly met his eyes. His gaze looked complex and strangely sad.

“Anyway…… since I received something good, I’ll give you some useful information.”

“Information?”

“Do you like jewels?”

Larry’s eyes sparkled slightly at the mention of jewels. He seemed to have some interest. After all, isn’t it said that dragon lairs are piled with all sorts of gold and silver treasures? Those wouldn’t be mere wealth.

They would be a kind of collection or trophies. Thinking Read on Read BL Novelsof it that way, [Read on Read BL Novels]this information unauthorized copywas enough to pique the interest of Larry, a dragon.

“I might be able to get jewels that aren’t found in Paltreon. No, things that have never been seen on this continent. I can’t guarantee it, but…… it’s certain that there are many rare jewels.”

“How on earth are you going to get something that doesn’t exist on this continent?”

“Do you know about the Relics of Yanli?”

Larry narrowed his brow at Euro’s words. It seemed he was aware of them.

“All sorts of jewels are inside those wretched statues. Just try buying one and breaking it, even if you think you’re being fooled. You’ll probably end up wanting to bow to me.”

Returning to the carriage with the painkillers, deodorizer, and love drug, Euro headed toward the mansion with Dent, who had been waiting for him.

If the severe motion sickness he felt despite the short carriage ride, the hematemesis from last night, and the subsequent poor condition were all due to the curse, Larry’s painkillers would be a great help.

Thus, as soon as he entered the carriage, Euro popped a white pill into his mouth and swallowed it. His brow furrowed at the intense bitterness remaining in his mouth, but it was better than suddenly suffering from motion sickness.

Even after seeing Euro take a mysterious pill, Dent turned his head and pretended not to notice. Euro felt relieved that Dent didn’t ask anything. He had other things to think about right now.

Judging by Larry’s reaction, the unauthorized copydeterioration of his health was [visit our site]indeed [stolen content]the effect of the curse. However, the person who cast the curse didn’t seem to know why it had happened.

He had asked Dent to look for cases where people were affected by the curse as early as he was, but in truth, he felt that doing so might be meaningless.

Euro guessed that something he had done up until now might have acted as a catalyst. If so, there was only one thing to consider.

Something the Clope in the book didn’t do, but Euro himself did. If his guess was correct, the answer was surprisingly simple. There were only two possibilities, after all.

‘Sleeping with that bastard, or singing to that bastard.’

It could be one of the two, or both. What mattered was that regardless of the cause, there was nothing he could stop doing.

Though he had snapped and been slightly sarcastic for a moment, it was a huge relief that Larry gave him the painkillers. With the excuse of the painkillers in addition to the love drug, he could visit Larry more often and, consequently, explain his symptoms more frequently.

Thinking about it again, the painkillers were a truly unexpected gain. He even began to hope that Larry might actually decide to lift the curse for his sake.

But upon deeper reflection, there was another problem. That was the case if these painkillers could only resolve symptoms limited to the curse.

If the abnormal symptoms in his body were the result of overusing his healing ability, then this was a serious problem regardless of the curse’s influence.

In the book, there was no description of Helen, Euro Leches’ biological mother, having her health deteriorate because she used her healing ability. However, that might be because Helen was a character who never appeared in the first place.

Helen Rose suddenly lost her healing ability one day and subsequently suffered from alcohol [visit our site]and opium visit our siteaddiction. If that was the result of side effects from overusing the healing ability…

Then, if the pain she felt was intense and she relied on cheap, low-grade drugs because she didn’t have the money to buy proper medicine, her actions could be understood to some extent.

But all of this was merely Euro’s speculation. He knew far too little about this healing ability. It was partly because there was almost no information in the novel, but it was also a rare ability even within this world, so there was no one to ask.

The King of Norden suffered from a chronic illness, not a curse, and Helen’s ability wasn’t particularly extraordinary. Because of that, there might not have been any distinct symptoms until the number of uses had accumulated to a certain point.

On the other hand, he was already healing Melione, who was weakening every day due to the curse, and the amount of power required each time would be great. He might have simply failed to notice because he felt no sensation when using the ability.

‘To be sure about this, the only way is to find Helen Rose and ask her.’

However, Euro was in a situation where he didn’t even know if Helen was alive or dead. It would be a problem if she were dead, but even if she were alive, there wasn’t much he could do.

First of all, he didn’t know where Helen lived. In fact, he questioned whether she was even living under her real name. If she had abandoned her name and was living under an alias, finding her with just a name was nearly impossible.

Moreover, Silon and Norden were far—too far. How on earth could he find Helen from here? He couldn’t even begin to guess where or how she was living, as she was a person whose name had only been mentioned once.

Even knowing it was impossible, he couldn’t afford to just sit idly by, so Euro furrowed his brow and racked his brain. While pondering for a long time on how to find Helen, his eyes suddenly widened.

‘Clope.’

If he couldn’t go to Norden stolen content[unauthorized copy]immediately [unauthorized copy]and couldn’t send someone, he had to ask someone living there.

Someone with a certain amount of power who could poke around here and there in secret. Furthermore, someone who would have no choice but to be favorable to his request. Such a person could only be Clope.

‘The problem is, if I ask for this in a letter, I don’t know where the information might leak.’

If he suddenly asked her to find Helen, the fact that he had manifested the healing ability could be revealed. The only way was to meet Clope and ask her directly, but the problem was how to meet her.

‘I have to find a way. I might die because of this ability, not the curse.’

If that happened, all his plans would go up in smoke. With that, Euro asked Dent.

“By any chance, will we have a reason to go to the capital?”
