The Locked System 35 Healing Process

" What they are doing? why the alarm hasn't sound yet? " The King made an exasperated face

" My lord, Captain Conrad went straight to do so, we have to give him more time maybe he is injured " One of the Golden Knights besides him answered calmly

They keep walking until the Captain of the Golden Knights arrived next to them, he bows and says " My lord your Royal father went to seclusion again "

" Why? " The king made a face of doubt " We have to go for that guy "

" He said that he needed to increase his power to the maximum capacity " The Captain of the Golden Knights started walked with them

" d.a.m.n... Maybe my father saw something more with his Heavenly Eye, I still have chills when I remember that cold and dark feeling " The King made a nervous expression

" What do you mean my lord? " The Captain of the Golden Knights sees the King with disbelief even the other knights overhear the conversation with doubtful faces

The King keeps walking without seeing them and he says with a serious voice " His energy was darker than the Demon that my father killed when I was young "

" What!? he was a Demon!? " The Captain of the Golden Knights yelled with surprise, even the other knights gasped with shocked expressions

" You're wrong! he was something else... but that explains why all the Brywood family was exterminated " The Golden Knights see their King with fear and disbelief, they didn't speak again until the King say

" Let's forget about that... where is Ellen? she said that she will go to the Adventurers Guild to speak with the Guild Master, how much time did she need? " The King said with exasperation

" Your Majesty, she arrived before the meeting, her escort reported her return " A Golden Knight answered calmly

" Then where is she? I need her help to find that masked man " The King said with suspicion

" Your Majesty, we don't know, she dismissed her escorts the moment she arrived at the castle " The Captain Golden Knight answered with a calm voice

" Then she must be in her room... Captain Andrew, come with me, the rest of you go with the Wyvern Ryders, help them with the search of that guy " The King pointed to the Golden Knight and they began to walk faster than before separating from the other Knights

The King and the Captain of the Golden Knights arrived near the princess's room of after a couple of minutes, it seems that the barrier that the princess made disappeared since the King and the Captain didn't notice something strange when they arrived

When they arrived at the room they notice that the door wasn't there anymore and some burn marks on both sides of the entrance " What happened here? " Said the King with worry

They entered the room with hurry and they saw more burn marks on the floor and even some parts of the roof " What the... " The Captain noticed the two unconscious knights in front of the princess's bed and he ran towards them to check their pulse

" Your Majesty they are alive.... your Majesty? " The Captain of the Golden Knights turns to see the king after he didn't answer him

The King walked to the bed ignoring the Captain, he saw a person laying there, completely covered with a blanket when he arrived a little bit close he notice that the blanket has some blood where the head of the person was covered, he tried to pull out the blanket from her face but...

" …..ugh... " A small moan of pain came from under the blanket. It seems that the blanket is glued to her face making impossible to remove it without hurting her

" Ellen... It's that you? " The King said with worry and surprise

" ... " The sound of a small breath can be heard

" Ellen… If that's really you, I need you to be strong, I'm going try to remove this blanket from your face " The King said with a kind voice to make her relax, then he pulled the blanket with a lot of strength

" ….Uhg!! " The princess trembles with pain and she fell unconscious, the blanket has some part of her skin glued on it

" Ellen... " The King made a horrified voice after he saw her face, it was completely melted and red, her body was burned to with some parts of her armor and clothes stuck to her skin even there isn't any trace of hair on her head

The Captain of the Golden Knights walked next to the king and he saw the princess with surprise "... Your Majesty, I think that the guilty of this was that masked man "

The King ignores him again, he took Ellen carrying her like a princess and he says with concern " Don't worry my little girl, your father will take you to the temple personally, they will cure you "

" Captain, I leave you these knights to you, I'm sure that they are alright " The king walked to the window

" Yes, your Majesty " The Captain of the Royal Guards bows his head and he approaches the knights

The King left through the window with the princess on his arms, when he landed he started to run a high speed

The King makes a face of hate ' That sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d! why did he attack my daughter? ' The King turns to see the senseless princess in his arms and says with determination " Don't worry my little girl your father will make him pay "

After half an hour the king arrived at a greek looking temple, the temple was big with four big columns in front of the temple, the temple has paints of warriors with s.h.i.+ning swords, mages surrounded by a yellow light, and some with both of them, it's likely that they are heroes.

There it is only a big white door, where on both sides two men with a white robe and white staff were guarding it

The King arrived in front of the white door and the guards approached him

" Your Majesty, what happened? " A white robe man says with concern after seeing the girl

" I need to cure my daughter " The King said emotionless

" The princess! she was attacked!? who would do something like that? " The white robe man surprises

" Don't ask! bring me to your superior! " The King yelled with anger

" Yes, your Majesty " The white robe man bowed his head to then open the white door

The King entered with the princess after the guards, the temple has the same paints than the windows in all walls, there are some benches and more men with robes but what stands out more is a big statue in the end of the temple, is a man who extended his right hand in front of him like he was ordering something, the statue looks amazing and is very big maybe around five meters

The king makes a bow to the statue and then an old woman approaches him, she has white eyes with white hair she looks very old

" What happened to the princess? " The old woman said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, she didn't see the king or the princess, The old woman is blind but after all, she knew in what state the princess is

The King kneels in front f the old woman and says with worry" She was attacked by someone, Great Light Priestess, I'm here to beg you for your a.s.sistance "

The old woman turns around and says quietly " Bring her to the curing chamber, I will cure her there "

" Thank you, Great Priestess " The King bowed his head and follows the old woman

They went to an isolated room inside the temple, the room has a big bed, a gla.s.s cabinet, with several bottles containing liquids of different colors and a big clear window that let the light come in, it really looks like a Hospital room

The old woman points to the bed and says softly " Put her on the bed, I will commence with the treatment immediately "

" Yes " The King puts Ellen in the bed to then moves aside, the old woman approaches the princess and she extended both f her arms towards her face

" Light Heal " The old woman says with a hoa.r.s.e voice and her hands began to bright with white light but...

"...!? " The old woman retrieved her hands in surprise

" What happen Great Priestess? " The King said with surprise

" What kind of enemy she fought? " The old woman said with surprise, her face started to sweat and she looked a little nervous

" There is a problem with the healing process? " The king said with a shocked expression and he sees the princess on the bed with concern

" Yes, the person that made her, used some kind of divine power... but the worst thing is that she lost almost all her power " The old woman said with a frowning face

" Divine Power!? like the energy that heroes use!? but how she lost her powers!? " The King said in confusion

" No, this energy is different, more powerful and darker, I can feel it even after the attack, heroes don't have this type of energy " The old woman says with impotence " "And her powers, seem to have been drained by a dark type spell" "

" That b.a.s.t.a.r.d, not only he burned my daughter he even drained her power " The King has a face full of anger, then he turned to see the old woman with a cold face " Great Priestess, at least you can cure her? I will help her to regain her powers "

" Yes I can, but it will take me a lot of sessions of healing treatment to restore her to her usual appearance " The old woman says calmly

" Thank G.o.d, then please begin the treatment, Great Priestess " The King made a relieved face

The old woman extended her hands again towards the princess and then a white light covered the entire body of the princess, the princess's body began to recover a little but her hair didn't grow again, the princess opens her eyes after being unconscious all this time

" Ellen! you finally wake up! " The King yelled with happiness

" ..... " The princess moves her eyes from left to right without making any sound

The King sees her with concern and says with a soft voice " Why are you not speaking with me? "

" She has some kind of brain blockage " The old woman was in the middle of the healing process, the clothes and the armor that was glued on the princess's body started to separate from her falling to both sides of the bed and now she was nakedly revealing her burned body

The King clenches her fist and says with a cold face " Brain Blockage? please tell me it's nothing serious "

" It's not serious but that prevents her to move and speak. I will need a more powerful spell to cure that " The old woman retrieve her hands and then she put her hands together " Blessed Light Healing "

A s.h.i.+ning white light covers the entire room and finally, the princess began to move her arms and legs again

" *PANT**PANT**PANT* " The old woman looked very tired right now " It's done... now she can move and speak... but her body will be completely healed after a few sessions more "

The King approaches the princess and he embraces her " Ellen, what happened to you? "

" Father, I was attacked by the man who caused the heavenly tribulation " Ellen made a gloomy face

The King separates from her and he yells with surprise " What!? you said that you didn't found him! "

" I thought so... but.. it seems that.. .he followed.. me... I didn't notice his presence…. until was too late... father...… he-he r*ped me and….. and he killed... Alyra " Ellen began to cry a lot hiding her face and body with a blanket next to her feet

" ..... What did you say " The King's face turned white from the shock and he started to tremble

Ellen keeps crying and with a hoa.r.s.e voice, she says " Father…. don't, don't…... make me say it again...please "

" Don't, that's.. that's impossible... I refuse to believe that!! " The King was in denial when he yelled

" It's true...father he r*pe me...and when Alyra tried to defend me…. he burned her to ashes….. after that, he burned my face….. " Ellen cries more and her entire body was shaking

" THAT b.a.s.t.a.r.d!! YOU WILL DIE!!! " The King screamed with fury

' That a**hole gave me a chance to clear the death of my useless sister and my lost virginity, but for making my face look like this, I will make some people r*pe that girl that was with him and I will make him see that, but first I will steal his powers.. haha you think that I can't, wait until we meet again '
