Giddie sternly scolded Buddy for causing trouble, with Francesca playfully translating the Pekko's reprimand. Garius and Francesca reminisced about secretly orchestrating their youngest son's acquisition of Buddy and Garius's schemes to officialize Pekkos in Armand. As Garius's mana phone rang with Mylezra's bold photo, Francesca posed provocatively with him for a picture to share with her co-wives.

Within the Main Operation Building.

Operation Room.

Once Javier executed a precise and neat cut across Gracelle’s abdomen, the black veins started to twist and squirm. The hovering cubes shone with white light, the one situated between her thighs flashing intensely, confining the curse parasite and blocking its getaway.

"Always keep your Purify skill active during an operation like this," Javier instructed from behind his mask, his gloved hands radiating a gentle white glow. "Prevent any sweat from falling into the surgical field, despite the room's temperature being ideally regulated."

"Yes, Your Highness."

He looked over at Myra, Kalea, and Juria, then shifted his eyes to Liana. Next, he picked up a fresh mithril tool, already sterilized, and connected its magic to the central floating cube. "Everyone, stay focused now. Juria?"

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"Keep a close watch on the patient’s vital signs and notify me of any shifts."

"As you command, Your Highness."

"Mm..." Javier nodded, then carefully approached the cut area, employing a self-retaining retractor to keep the incision spread open. With precision, he inserted the glowing mithril rod into the cavity, infused with his Purify skill, and started pulling the curse parasite toward the cube, gradually drawing it inside.

The curse parasite revealed itself as dark, twisting tentacles attempting to cling to Gracelle’s organs. "Myra, deploy your Purify skill immediately."

Myra gave a nod and directed her palm from a secure spot behind the floating cube, invoking her superior Purify skill. A tender, luminous glow surrounded the region, steadily cleansing the curse parasite while Javier’s instrument kept reeling it toward the cube.

"Liana?"

"Yes, Young Master?" Liana stepped up beside him.

"Begin channeling your Purify skill, please." He murmured quietly, concentrating on extracting the curse parasite. "Her body has weakened considerably after hosting this parasite for so long, leaving it frail and exposed."

Liana grinned beneath her mask and shut her eyes.

"By starlight woven and spring’s first breath,

I unbind the blight, I cleanse this death.

Let root and radiance make pure once more,

Be whole, as thou wast before."

A stunning, sparkling light flooded the room, blending soft green and vivid white like interlaced strands of vitality and cleanliness. It wrapped around Gracelle’s form, and a piercing, otherworldly screech resounded softly as the curse parasite melted into vapor before getting sucked into Javier’s tool. Her once ghostly pale skin gradually restored its warm, vibrant hue.

Myra, Juria, and Kalea stared in wonder as Javier slowly pulled out his tool and inspected the incision site. The internal organs appeared pristine now, devoid of dark veins or remnants of the curse parasite.

His eyes narrowed while he scrutinized the cut thoroughly, then he checked the vital signs display. All readings were impeccably steady—breathing even, oxygen levels balanced, pulse robust and rhythmic, every other indicator in optimal range.

"Mm... time to seal the incision." Javier muttered softly, fixing his gaze on Myra.

"Channel your healing skill into your hands now."

"As you command, Your Highness." Myra nodded.

"For closing this incision..." Javier elaborated, "magic healing seals wounds more neatly and swiftly than stitches, guaranteeing no scars and quick recovery."

He leaned in and delicately lifted away the self-retaining retractor, easing the pressure on the incision edges before placing the tool on a sterile tray.

With the retractor gone, he looked at Myra. "Grab that tool there." He indicated a mithril device built to direct healing magic straight into the tissue for accurate, flawless wound closure. "Guide your healing skill from the incision’s base upward with it, making sure it seals uniformly without scar formation."

"Combine Cure, Healing, and Purify skills simultaneously." Javier instructed, gesturing slowly to Myra’s starting point. "Start right here, but avoid direct skin contact." He directed her hand to the incision’s bottom.

Myra nodded and activated her skills. The mithril tool lit up gently as she meticulously sealed the initial part of the incision, the skin fusing perfectly with no scarring.

"Ensure it’s fully sealed before advancing upward gradually, just like so." Javier described, lightly steering Myra’s hand. The incision mended flawlessly, layer upon layer, without any visible trace.

"Excellent. Continue that way, keeping your hand firm. Juria, monitor the systems. And Kalea?"

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"Observe Myra’s technique closely to master it later."

"As you command, Your Highness."

Javier let out a quiet sigh of relief once the incision sealed impeccably.

Gracelle’s abdomen now looked smooth and perfect, untouched by any cut. The ominous dark veins and malevolent aura had vanished entirely, replaced by flawless, vital skin.

"Now, the last phase: post-operation. You three, pay close attention."

He initiated the post-op routine, describing it as he went. "Start by cleansing the surgical site completely to eliminate leftover antiseptics or particles." He showed them, softly wiping the spot with sterile gauze dipped in a gentle cleaning solution.

He proceeded to demonstrate removing the "dirty" drapes from the surgery, folding them meticulously and disposing them in the contamination bin.

Once the area was spotless, he changed Gracelle’s gown and fitted the protective dressing. "This is a Tegaderm dressing—it safeguards the site while letting the skin breathe." He placed it precisely over her stomach.

He checked the vitals screen; all was normal and steady. "Kalea, Juria?"

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"Fetch the transport stretcher from the adjacent room and wheel it in. Cast Purify and Cleanse on it first, even with prior sterilization."

"As you command, Your Highness."

As they left the operation room, Javier turned to Myra.

"Myra?"

"Hmm? Yes, Your Highness?"

"I’ll require your assistance lifting the patient and shifting her to the stretcher shortly, same as earlier."

"Don’t worry, Your Highness. Your wish is my command."
