Holy Beast Saintess 63 'Miracle Doctor'

Meanwhile in the Moonlight country the prince was attending at the martial academy and keeping up appearances.

He walked towards the training grounds and heard many whispers of rumors and praise about himself, while he began to feel smug but hid his emotions from those around him.

His appearance looked very cold and distant from others but everyone saw how hardworking he was.

Blessed with a big family background he got resources and teaching from a young age which others could only wish for but what put him ahead of everyone was his own efforts.

Followed by his side holding his hand was his younger sister who was rumoured to be unable to cultivate from a young age and suffered from an unknown illness.

She had pale looking skin, red hair, big black eyes and small and weak looking body but that did not ruin her beauty, in fact it made others wish to care for her more.

This was one of the reasons the queen mother heavily dotes on her but because of this she became a prop for her brother to show on a daily occasion to boost his public image and gain support from his grandmother in the fight for the throne.

She looked up at her brothers tall and clean appearance, black hair like her father, sharp black eyes which show indifference towards everything as if nothing can catch his interest.

Shaking her head she thought to herself. 'Perhaps this is my fate, I have been born to help my brother succeed the throne. I am not allowed to speak when I am with him, just a sickly doll to show off until I die.'

She had thoughts like this often as she waited for her illness to take her life, the feeling of her body erupting with heat had been happening more and more often lately and she could no longer stand the pain.

Despairing her fate she still endured with the encouragement from her grandmother but when faced with the cold and calculating brother of hers she could only feel helpless.

Several whispers she heard often. 'The prince is wonderful taking care of the useless and sick princess', 'Poor child is still living and bringing trouble to her family', 'Although she looks a little beautiful it is a waste'.

Listening to everyones whispers and knowing her brothers reasons for treating her well in public her heart was beginning to close off from getting close to others, if someone offered her a hand to save her she would have trouble believing in them.

Once a bright and happy child her surroundings and her illness had completely turned her personality to one without hope, whatever fate had in store for her she would have to accept it because she was without power to change anything.

As the brother walked into the training grounds there was a discussion happening among some of the students who had taken a break from training.

"No seriously I am not lying, he showed up a month ago from another land. A travelling miracle doctor who boasted being able to solve any problem."

"Who would believe that?!"

"Seriously I am not joking, he has set up shop near the forest! He was selling lots of unknown herbs and fruits I have never seen before and has been treating people without any problems for a while now."

"So how did the news only reach here now then?"

"Who knows, the guy seems to have something against showing his face and is very mysterious. When he set up shop some n.o.bles asked him to visit their homes but he refused so he only treats those who come to him."

Hearing the whispers the prince glanced their way briefly before letting go of his sisters hand to go train.

He stopped for a moment and thought to himself. 'If there is a slither of hope to treat sisters illness then I will be rewarded by father and grandmother but I can not act in public for something like this. Brothers family will surely use something like this to deal with me, it would be best I go with sister and take a few trusted guards with me.'

After finis.h.i.+ng his training he looked over to his sister who sat without a glimmer of hope in her eyes but then walked towards one of his guards who followed him and the princess every day. "Gather a few trusted men, gather information on this 'miracle doctor' quickly and get a few horses and black clothing ready."

"Yes your highness." The guard quickly ran away leaving the prince and princess with one person guarding them now.
