Chapter 629 Princess

[Keep an eye on them. I have heard the conversation, and he is definitely after something more than a polite conversation with the Noxus Patriarch.]

The small group made their first stop in the Butlers\' quarters, where the male staff slept. Prince John was becoming more intrigued by the step, but when they opened the first door to one of the small dorm rooms, shared by two of the men that Noctis was certain were on duty right now, the Prince\'s eyes lit up with joy.

"Is that really a multi elemental array, cast on the bed of a common servant?" He laughed as if it were the funniest thing he had seen in his life.

"Indeed. They are all over the Palace now, and the rooms for overnighting Ministers as well as esteemed guests have been done to a higher standard." Advisor Noctis agreed.

"A higher standard? What more could be done to a simple bed?" The Prince asked.

"The version for Nobility has the option to adjust the temperature, as well as a self-cleaning feature, should your evening activities happen to soil the sheets too close to your preferred sleeping time to call for a servant." The disguised Princess blushed, but the servant girl beside her gave her a suggestive look and a gentle nudge with her elbow.

The advisor pretended not to notice as he led them down the corridor to a sitting room where Wolfe had enchanted the chairs, which were currently occupied by staff on break. They all jumped to their feet to greet the dignitaries, who would not normally be found in the staff break room, but the Prince waved them down.

"We are just passing through to see the good works of the Magi Patriarch." He explained.

"Oh, in that case, have you seen the beds he created yet, Your Highness? They are spectacular, so comfortable, and they don\'t get drafty at all, even in the lower levels." One of the cleaners asked.

"Yes, we had the chance to look into a dorm a moment ago. Tell me, are there many more areas like this?" Prince John asked.

Advisor Noctis was giving the staff a silent look, telling them to shut up, but most of them were too excited to notice.

"He enchanted more beds all over the Palace, and he even created an anti-bullying barrier for us, so we can work freely." One of the more excited young maids informed him, before remembering that she shouldn\'t be providing such details to a foreigner.

"Anti-bullying, you say? Perhaps he really does live up to the pacifist and philanthropist reputation of his predecessors," was all that Prince John said.

The maid nodded. "He seems quite kind, and he\'s always helping out somewhere."

Advisor Noctis led the Prince and his party out of the gossip laden servants quarters and toward the Ministers\' wing where they should only run into a few guards on their walk, as all the Ministers were downstairs in the meeting room, but he had forgotten that their route passed by a window that overlooked the garden where Wolfe had staff lined up waiting for his services.

"What sort of event is going on there? A taste test by new chef applicants, perhaps? Advisor, I think we simply must go see what has everyone so excited." Prince John insisted.

The Prince\'s smile grew even larger as the annoyed Advisor realized what he had seen. He could try to keep it from him, but it was in the servants area, so if the Prince dismissed his staff for a break, they would naturally be allowed access to this part of the castle.

"Alright, follow me. Perhaps you will find what you are looking for down in the garden." Noctis agreed.

The sound of excited staff filtered up the stairwell as the descended, all of them talking about the same thing, how great it was going to be when the Magi repaired their mana systems, and they could finally progress again.

"You call this charity work? It sounds more like he\'s building up an army." Prince John commented in a bland tone as they entered the courtyard.

"An army of rank one Demon Maids? I\'m afraid it might be closer to a harem, he does seem to have a fondness for Demon girls." The Advisor sighed.

Prince John burst into laughter at that and gave Noctis a genuine smile.

"Have I told you how I met him yet? I haven\'t, have I? He walked into the pastry shop that I was in along with this little succubus dressed like someone\'s secretary, all professional like. He was such a casual flirt that she didn\'t even know what to do to counter him. I\'ve never seen a succubus behave like that, it was as if he had brought an entirely different species of Demon with him and got her all flustered. I wonder if she\'s here today."

Rail\'s voice echoed up the stairs, as if answering his question. "Next. Let\'s keep things moving, you all have shifts to get back to."

The advisor led the Prince and his group up to the front of the line, where the staff parted to let them through, interrupting Rail\'s regular flow of people through the room.

"Prince John, it\'s a pleasure to see you again. Do you have someone in your party who has damage to their mana system that won\'t heal? If not, I hope that you don\'t mind if I work while we talk." Wolfe greeted the group.

Advisor Noctis took note as the disguised Princess stepped forward. "Indeed. I have suffered an attack that isn\'t healing properly. The Magi Clans in our nation said that only a Lord would have the mana control to repair the damage done, they tried but failed." Wolfe examined her mana system, then carefully turned her around to look at it from all different angles.

"How did you end up with Null Stone in your body?" He asked.

"Pardon?"

"The damage to your body is from Null Stone poisoning. It\'s radioactive, you see. Not only does it block mana usage, but it poisons the body. It isn\'t natural, so it shouldn\'t exist in the Demon Realms, someone must have brought it from my world, or one like it." Wolfe explained.

"Can you fix it? Our healers had never seen anything like it, and they couldn\'t fix me. Not even the higher rank Witches." She replied.

"That\'s because they didn\'t understand. You need to pull the pieces out, either physically, or with carefully crafted spells that won\'t collapse on contact, you can\'t just let a healing spell soak through because the effect will just move around the fragments."

Prince John smiled at Wolfe. "But you\'re familiar with it, aren\'t you? What will you ask to heal her?"

"I will do it free of charge, but it\'s a bit more complex than just the mana system. I will ask that the doors are sealed and the others leave. This isn\'t something for public viewing."
