Two days have passed since the "ritual" between Cecile and I was completed.
Monitoring by the Vermillion healers revealed that Cecile's natural immune system had significantly improved, resulting in a rapid and complete recovery.
Cecile no longer suffered from the effects of her own poison.
She was even able to resume her normal activities.
In the throne room, Leysha and I awaited Cecile's arrival.
"Baron Atreus Vermillion. Mistress Cecile requests permission to make a formal appearance." said one of the soldiers guarding the throne room.
"Yes, come in," I said, sitting on the throne.
Leysha stood beside me, holding Cecile's usual twin swords.
Since Cecile fell ill with the poison, she had become extremely weak and fragile, unable to use her signature Shadow Step and twin swords.
But I'm confident she's able to use them now, thanks to her independence and fast recovery.

The throne room door opened, and Cecile entered.
