“You may come out now.”
His low, cool voice echoed.
Araella and Roward, who were standing inconspicuously in a corner, revealed themselves.
“Your Majesty, it’s been a while.”
“Your Majesty, it has been a long time,” Araella followed.
Roward and Araella bowed deeply to Helios, whose face looked a bit more haggard than before.
This was their first meeting since Helios gave new orders to Araella and Roward two months ago.
“Did you find out anything?”
Helios asked with a calm voice, his expression unreadable.
Araella and Roward glanced at Sera cautiously before nodding.
“Yes, Your Majesty. We have found out why the curse’s traces on Lady Sera’s body would not disappear any further.”
“And we also found out why Lady Sera has not awakened.”
Hearing Roward and Araella’s sequential answers, Helios let out an indistinct groan.
It was a strange groan mixed with hope that Sera might regain consciousness this time and anxiety that waking her might be impossible.
Helios knew from experience that all attempts to awaken Sera had failed.
“The remaining curse on Lady Sera’s body seems to be due to a psychological rather than a physical issue.”
A psychological, not physical, issue.
As Helios pondered Roward’s words, he stood up and approached Sera with silent steps.
Sera.
Just saying her name made Helios feel as if she would wake up any moment, lost in the illusion of her awakening.
If not for the large, tattoo-like curse mark on her neck, Sera appeared as if she was merely dreaming.
For the initial few weeks, Sera showed signs of improvement. Thankfully, the dark curse faded with each infusion of divine power, and Sera’s physical condition quickly returned to its original state.
Up to that point, Helios had no doubt that Sera would soon regain consciousness.
However, there had been no progress with Sera recently. Despite the abundant divine power poured into her, the last trace of curse on her neck remained.
Helios realized something was going wrong.
“Explain in detail,” he commanded succinctly.
Araella, swallowing nervously at Helios’s sharper demeanor, opened her lips.
“The curse that should have healed immediately with divine power continues to persist because it is dictated by willpower.”
“A curse dictated by willpower?”
Helios’s brows furrowed.
“The remaining spirit of Belzebuth is hindering further healing, probably to prevent its existence from disappearing. We believe this is also why Lady Sera cannot regain consciousness.”
“And the solution?”
“If the demon has entrenched itself in Lady Sera’s subconscious, her own willpower is the most crucial.”
Helios pressed his forehead. The presence of Belzebuth’s consciousness was something he hadn’t considered.
“Is there anything that could help?”
At Helios’s question, Araella glanced at Sera.
Seemingly cautious of Roward’s reaction, she hesitantly spoke.
“There is one method, but we cannot guarantee its success.”
“What method?”
“Entering Lady Sera’s subconscious.”

Ah, I fell asleep.
Sera startled awake. It seemed she had dozed off amid the chaos of the first week of March.
The previous time it was a request to shift a first-semester event to the second semester, and now suddenly, a new event popped up, demanding a schedule change for the next week.
That meant revising the lesson plan again.
Looking at the computer screen gave her a headache, so Sera munched on some snacks.
Then, with a knock, the door to Sera’s classroom opened.
“Sera, are you busy?”
It was a teacher from the next class.
As Sera attempted to stand, the teacher gestured for her to stay seated, waving her hands dismissively.
“A parent came looking for you, asking where your classroom was.”
“A parent of one of my students?”
“They mentioned having a consultation with you?”
Sera tilted her head, puzzled by the unexpected notice.
She quickly checked the calendar on her desk, but there was no consultation scheduled.
“What, you didn’t know?”
“It seems I forgot.”
Sera shrugged lightly.
Did she forget again? Recently, she often felt like she was forgetting something important.
But forgetting something as crucial as a parent consultation meeting seemed unlikely. Sera felt a strange sensation and tilted her head in confusion.
“Shall I let him in?”
Noticing Sera’s puzzled expression, the teacher from the next class asked with a slightly worried look.
“Ah, yes.”
What could go wrong? She had probably just forgotten. Sera flashed a quick smile.
As she was tidying up her desk, the teacher suddenly lowered her voice, her face alight with excitement.
“But, Sera, the dad who came for the consultation today is really handsome. Do you have foreign students in your class?”
“Foreign?”
