Chapter 24: Days spent recuperating
Hex needed rest to recuperate from all the damages he suffered. The baron had employed a Knight with the Healer subclass.
She was a young woman called Lira, probably mid-twenties, with short blond hair and a nice figure.
Whenever she was checking on Hex, he could smell her alluring fragrance. He also enjoyed her soft chest pressing against his arms as she administered the Health potions.
The process of bone regrowth was more painful than having them shattered, but Hex suffered through with gritted teeth. The sooner he could, the quicker he would get to train.
Luckily, his body seemed to be capable of fast regeneration. In just two days he was able to move and lift his limbs. This shocked both Lira and Hestia. According to them, a regular Blessed would need about a week just to regain feeling in their limbs.
Hex suspected that the special heart he had seen inside him had something to do with this all. But he didn't disclose his suspicion to the ladies. Anything that differed from the norm could attract unwanted attention.
'I should ask the baron about it.' Hex's decision was based on the fact that the baron probably already knew about his situation. And if a man with his power wished to harm Hex, there was little Hex could do to guard himself.
'Life is funny sometimes. The man I hate most in my life is somehow the most familiar to me. And he might be the only one I can trust fully.'
Other than healing, which alternated from being painful to being boring, Hex spent most of his time learning from Hestia. As she had said, the things she talked about were general things he needed to know, but still very interesting.
