The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

I will definitely protect you.

I will do everything I can to help you recover.

Everything will be alright...

Hmm~

Upon reading this, Helena suddenly felt a tremor in her heart for no apparent reason.

Could it be that I really misunderstood Leon?

It was indeed him who drugged himself.

But he also seems to be a victim of deception?

Are the Emperor and Leon's mentor the real culprits?

Unbelievable!

Mr. Bancroft, whom I remembered from my time at Guberland University, was a learned and courteous old gentleman.

Looking back now, he was just an old scoundrel.

Although she was furious, Helena didn't have time to think much, because almost five minutes had passed and she knew she couldn't stay there any longer.

just,

I haven't finished reading the diary yet.

Although reason told Helena that she needed to leave quickly

But she wanted to know more of the truth.

This may be the closest she has come to the truth about her imprisonment.

Without hesitation, Helena quickly continued flipping through the rest of the diary.

[September 12th, 293 AD (Ferrand calendar), Monday, rain]

My father is a paranoid warmonger, my teacher is a madman who secretly worships black magic, Hebrew is a tomboy who likes to play with young girls, Arthur is an extremely perverted gay man, and then there's my brother and uncle...

Therefore, I can only pretend to be a madman.

No, perhaps in the eyes of the world I am just a complete madman.

The weather is starting to get cooler; I know autumn has arrived.

Kneeling before my mother's tombstone, I felt somewhat lost and at a loss.

When I was five years old, looking at my mother lying in the crystal coffin, my father told me that she had just fallen asleep from exhaustion.

And then I believed it.

But I never saw my mother wake up again after that.

I am a pessimist. I have no friends and am a complete loner. I don't know when it started, but the people around me have changed.

I think I'm not far from falling into darkness.

Helena's condition was deteriorating. The medication had a numbing and addictive effect, and the teacher deliberately concealed these two points from me.

That's why I wanted to kill him that day.

I had to restrain Helena and lock her in the room.

Watching Helena lose her mind, immersed in the ecstasy brought by drugs, and gradually turn into a drug addict, I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss, suffering torment in body and mind every moment.

This world is terrible. For a moment, I wanted to destroy it completely.

But I know I can't do it.

I don't even have the ability to help Helena get revenge.

Under the influence of psychotropic drugs,

Helena has no self-awareness; she doesn't even know what she is, and sometimes she doesn't even think she's human.

She often had strange fantasies.

Therefore, it is natural that they will take many extreme actions.

Helena herself was well aware of this.

Therefore,

Leon locked himself in a small room.

He even bound himself with handcuffs and shackles, restricting his movements.

These are all actually for self-protection.

How to avoid doing anything that harms yourself?

This,

This……

Is this the real truth?

A warm feeling suddenly welled up inside Helena.

This feeling is strange.

Leon's ugly face in her eyes,

It seems like things changed suddenly.

An inexplicable emotion fermented in my heart.

This caused Helena's slender, jade-like fingers, which were turning the pages, to tremble slightly.

[September 16th, 293 of the Ferran calendar, Friday, rain]

The drug can greatly enhance Helena's healing abilities, but if the powerful drug force within Helena's body cannot be released, she is very likely to explode and die.

The best way to release the drug's power is to let her use the healing technique.

So I was forced to continue using Helena's healing abilities to treat the wounded soldiers of the Empire.

This is the ultimate goal that the Emperor and the teacher wanted to achieve.

Now, they have gotten what they wanted.

However, I won't let them be happy too soon.

I've been frantically studying pharmacology lately, and today I finally made some progress. I found a passage in an ancient book about acquiring "drug resistance."

Can drugs make you stronger?

No wonder,

Before being numbed by the drugs, he was just a mithril-level priest, but on the day he suddenly regained consciousness, he found that he had already reached the "spiritual" level of a gold-level priest.

So all of this was due to the medication?

Leon kept using the healing potion in order to release the excess medicinal power in his body and eliminate the danger to his life.

He was actually saving himself!

And—drug resistance?

Why did I suddenly become sober, and why did the psychotropic drugs that Leon gave me afterwards have no effect on me?

about this point,

Helena's initial guess was that she had developed a resistance to a certain psychiatric drug due to long-term use, thus rendering the drug ineffective against her.

It was all just good luck.

But now it seems,

It seems to be far more complicated than that.

Leonta,

Really...

Do I really like myself that much?

Helena let out a soft breath, trying to calm herself down, and continued reading the last few paragraphs.

[September 17th, 293rd year of the Ferran calendar, Saturday, cloudy]

Following the instructions in that ancient book, I began to improve the medicine by adding a special, highly toxic substance.

This is a highly toxic substance that a normal human body can resist; under normal circumstances, there is a 70% chance of death if one is poisoned by it.

To acquire "drug resistance," the only way is to either poison the person to death, or not poison them to death, in which case "drug resistance" may be activated. If it is not activated, then the person continues to take the poison until it is activated.

This is the only way to bring Helena back to normal. Rather than living like a walking corpse and becoming a tool for the Empire's healing, it would be better for her to die.

I'm sorry, Helena.

If you don't make it through, then I certainly won't live on alone.

Own……

I am now able to regain my senses.

It's because they've acquired drug resistance.

The reason why they were able to acquire drug resistance

It's all because of Leon!

Although Helena already had some guesses in her mind after reading the previous article.

But when the truth finally came out...

She couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

I……

Did I really misunderstand Leon?

Is he genuinely good to me?

To be able to sacrifice so much for oneself,

Aside from his neighbor Anna when he lived in Peaceful Town, Leon was the second.

And foolishly, I still thought of killing him, torturing him, and taking revenge on him.

simply……

The night is deep, and the moonlight is soft.

Helena's beautiful face, which could rival the moon and sink fish, already showed an overwhelming sense of sorrow under the bright moonlight.

ps:

Chapter Thirteen: Amusing Things

The hour of Chou (丑时) is 2:00 AM.

On the outskirts of Guberland

The campfires scattered throughout the area illuminated the vast plains.

Standing atop a high tower of the city wall, Leon held a steaming cup of milk in his hands, looking down at the soldiers training below.

Their full-body silver armor gleamed in the firelight and the night.

Leon was also wearing silver armor, and on the wall in front of him was the iron bucket-shaped helmet he had just taken off.

"Leon, Leon is playful. You should encourage him more."

Father's words have a deeper meaning...

The image of him patting his shoulder and saying to himself when he returned to the capital to meet Emperor Caesar echoed in his mind.

This time, Caesar personally led an expedition against the Kingdom of Nepomuk, and Leon was among those who accompanied him.

This explains why, in the middle of the night, Leon wasn't sleeping in the palace, but instead appeared near the military camp wearing knight's armor.
