Chapter 74: The Princess’s Meal (5)
The Ilseong Palace, where the First Prince Gunther resided.
It was such a plain building that you’d never think it belonged in the imperial palace—almost as if it reflected Gunther’s personality.
—Hyaaaaaaaah!!
Lately, with screams echoing every evening, Ilseong Palace had gained the unfortunate reputation of being haunted.
“We have safely completed another demon subjugation today. The Goddess’s blessing was with us.”
As Simon closed the holy book and crossed himself, Gunther, «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» who was lying face down on the bed, reacted violently.
“Blessing my ass! My shoulders, my back—there’s not a single spot that doesn’t hurt!”
“All health comes at a price. Look, we expelled this much impure energy again today.”
Simon boasted proudly, holding up a dark lump he had extracted—something pulled from Gunther’s very body.
And in truth, Gunther couldn’t complain much. His body did feel lighter after receiving Simon’s exorcism massage.
The only problem was that Simon’s exorcism technique, tailored for demon subjugation, hurt like hell.
Of course, a court physician obeys his lord’s orders. But the timid Gunther was always wary of how others might perceive him.
