Chapter 58

The incident broke out during the meeting.

“Huh?”

While eating a tuna can, Evelyn suddenly felt her vision clouding before her eyes.

– Thud!

“Your Majesty!”

As she regained consciousness, she found herself lying on the floor.

Lloyd, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over, and chaos soon erupted in the meeting room.

“What on earth!”

“Doctor, get a doctor right away!”

When Evelyn placed a finger on her nose, it was stained with dark blood.

“Your Majesty, the tip of your finger…”

Evelyn’s fingertips were turning black, rotting away like a corpse.

The moment everyone saw that, they felt a chill run through their heads.

There was no question about it.

That symptom was the Black Plague, something only seen in patients on the brink of death.

“We can’t rely on just any doctor. Bring the Gallery Doctor!”

As Lloyd anxiously searched for the Gallery Doctor, two doctors arrived about 30 minutes later.

After some light formalities, they began their examination.

The more they examined Evelyn, the more her complexion gradually began to pale.

“What happened?”

A few days ago, Evelyn had been administered antibiotics.

Naturally, she should have been improving, but instead, she was stagnant.

“The timing of the administration was too late.”

Antibiotics needed to be administered as soon as symptoms of the Black Plague appeared.

However, since becoming Queen, Evelyn had frequent encounters with outsiders.

In fact, she had been ill with the disease even before the rumors of the Black Plague circulated in the Gallery.

“It seems the sickness has spread throughout her entire body.”

“Isn’t that a bit too fast for that!”

“And the Queen’s body has become far too weak.”

She had spent several years confined.

Then, just when she finally stepped outside, so much had happened—the founding, the coronation, and the monster invasions.

The fatigue had accumulated steadily.

Even if she miraculously recovered from the Black Plague, her chances of surviving seemed slim.

“Is there truly no way?”

“I dare not say…”

The Gallery Doctors turned their heads with a look of discomfort.

Lloyd understood the implication.

It was basically a suggestion to provide painkillers to alleviate her suffering.

“…Is that so.”

“Your Majesty!”

“It’s okay; there’s nothing that can be done.”

Evelyn now felt high fever, dizziness, and extreme chills.

However, she calmly accepted the painkillers, and her previously strained expression relaxed.

Leaving Lloyd in turmoil, Evelyn struggled to signal.

“Get it for me.”

“No, it’s too early to give up. Besides, aren’t you the Queen of Kellierhton?”

“Now!”

Though weak, her tone was firm, forcing Lloyd to reluctantly pull out a hidden can.

The spicy tuna can, which had been half-restricted for health reasons as her condition worsened.

She opened the can, typically only eaten on special occasions, and took a big bite.

“Delicious!”

Even now, as her body became numb, the taste was simply amazing.

Evelyn too did not wish to die.

She wanted to savor tuna cans happily and age gracefully.

‘Still, I have no regrets.’

In truth, she should have died more than half a year ago.

But after meeting Lloyd, she was able to be happy until the very end.

If one thought of it as Lloyd giving her the time to be happy before she died,

She felt there was nothing unjust about it.

“Now, I’m going to see my father.”

“…Your Majesty.”

Even after becoming Queen and searching for them, she ultimately could not find her family.

It was a kind of lingering attachment.

The hope that her family might still be alive.

Only when the time came for death could she let go of that attachment.

Having completely devoured the tuna can, she gently closed her eyes and took a breath.

“Lloyd, listen closely.”

“…Yes.”

“I have something I want to say to Lloyd.”

Lloyd’s face fell.

But soon he knelt down, listening to her final words to leave a testament in the Gallery.

“I will not forget.”

Evelyn struggled to catch her breath, a faint smile forming as she continued.

“From the moment you saved me on the first day, I will remember everything you have done for me since.”

After a moment’s contemplation, Evelyn decided to bare her heart.

Though she didn’t know Lloyd’s face, she already felt something more than gratitude towards him.

“Lloyd… Perhaps I…”

Then it happened.

“Unbelievable!!!!!”

“?!”

Lloyd suddenly leaped up from his seat, nearly crying out in excitement.

“Your Majesty! Lloyd has sent goods! You can be saved!”

As Lloyd had requested help from Lloyd,

The response had arrived in the form of a barter exchange from Lloyd.

[Lloyd*: Tuna Can Queen, do not die!!!!!]

[Lloyd* offers ‘100% Golden Carrot.’]

[Lloyd*: Eat this kkk It will definitely help]

That was the treasure of the Rabbit Beastfolk, known as the panacea.

Overjoyed, Lloyd turned and asked suddenly.

“But Your Majesty, what were you trying to say just now? Sa?”

“…”

Evelyn buried her face under the blanket halfway.

But she couldn’t cover her face, flushed with embarrassment.

After a long moment of hesitation, she finally continued her sentence as naturally as possible.

“Sa… four times four plus this?”

“Excuse me?”

Eighteen.

Why was she sending that now?

In her earnest attempt to confess her feelings, Evelyn genuinely wished she could die from embarrassment.

The Tuna Can Queen was on the verge of death.

“Tuna tuna, what on earth is happening here…”

It seemed that living solely on tuna cans had led to nutritional imbalances in her weakened body.

Being unaware of her Black Plague while having been in such a state was hardly surprising.

At this rate, even with an antibiotic shot, there was no guarantee of survival.

But who was I?

“Owner of the 100% Golden Carrot.”

I had once helped the Rabbitfolk who were threatened by monsters, and they returned the favor.

One of those favors was a Rabbit Hole ticket.

The other was the Golden Carrot.

A cure-all, claiming to cure any disease.

Given that I had forced Lloyd into becoming the queen, it wouldn’t be too difficult to obtain this.

“It should be somewhere here.”

The gifts given by Gallums were stacked high in the warehouse.

As I rummaged through, I discovered a dust-covered Golden Carrot.

I quickly brushed off the dust, washed it with water, and sent it to Lloyd. A reply came back immediately.

Lloyd: Wowww This is amazingww

Lloyd: (Image of the Tuna Queen giving a thumbs up while eating the carrot)

Lloyd: The Queen thanks youwww

Lloyd*: So cutewww

The effect was incredible!

I could receive an image of the Tuna Queen, her cheeks flushed and fully recovered.

First, I saved the image.

But this was not the end.

Since I provided not only antibiotics but other medicines to the Gallery Doctor, there was also a nutritional injection included.

“What good is it to recover from the Black Plague?”

If she were weak, she might easily catch another illness and end up on the edge of death again.

Additionally, I had released one new item in the marketplace.

– Vita450 This is amazing

– My mother drank this and regained her strength!

– For drinking use

– Tried Bacchus and reviewed it…jpg

It was a cheap and simple to buy energy recovery drink.

Kuaah, I can’t even dare to look with my eyes open!!!

Lloyd, what on earth is this attack?

– Ah, I just stood there, though?

– Did I lose my cool?

– Lloyd*) What is this again

ㄴ Kuaah!!!

ㄴ Damn it, Lloyd, I must worship you…

[Title: Lloyd’s Magic and Analysis…jpg]

Greetings, I am a 5th Circle Advanced Magician.

Today, similarly, while engrossed in studying magic and conducting research, I had a curiosity and analyzed it.

(Images of explosion magic, creation magic)

As all Gallums know, Magicians are not all the same.

Some specialize in mindless destruction spells, while others learn defensive magic.

While there are differences based on talent, these are the broad categories.

Let’s take a look at an image here.

(Images of patients recovered from the plague giving a thumbs up)

(Images of cans of tuna with long expiration dates)

(Images of an Elf melting monsters with a gun)

However, Lloyd’s magic is ambiguous.

It simply cured the supposedly untreatable plague, and allowed anyone to utilize items infused with mana.

What about pure steel? It also brought revived nutrients to malnourished land.

If categorized broadly, one could divide it into:

1. Creation/Practicality

2. Mana storage in items, Magic Engineering

3. Healing

So at this point, one may wonder what the conclusion of analyzing Lloyd’s magic would be?

The answer is simple.

I have no idea.

What is this?

– Damn it

– I was watching carefully

– Are you fooling us again, Gallums…

– But it’s pretty amazing when you gather it all like this ㅇㅇ;

– Wasn’t healing magic something that only happened in delusions?

– Lloyd resurrects even the dead;

– Maybe he’s even superior to the Great Magician?

ㄴ Haha, as if he’d become a transcendental being?

ㄴ Lloyd’s master is a transcendental being. It makes sense

ㄴ Is that so?

ㄴ Fact: Without Lloyd, more than half of these people would have become skeletons.

ㄴ Wow, skeletons!

– Lloyd, say something!

– Aww, Lloyd, you idiot!

– Lloyd, marry me!

Following the antibiotics, I released a nutritional injection for energy recovery and an energy drink.

As a result, the Gallery began to stir in excitement.

The Gallums were demanding an explanation from me, and I reached a conclusion that I could no longer ignore.

“But what do you want me to clarify?”

I had already clarified this countless times.

I can’t cast magic.

If a fireball came out of my hands, I would have recorded it and posted it immediately.

In the end, I wrote a post.

– Lloyd hurry up and clarify ㅇㅇ

– Ah hurry up and say something or we’re really doomed!!!

Got a clarification?

Wear a mask.

– Wow

– A wise saying

Thus, the great threat of the Black Plague had passed.

But in terms of prevention, one could say it was just the beginning.

While the Gallery Doctors’ methods spread, the risk of reinfection remained as information had not been adequately disseminated.

“I wish there was a post that organized any information.”

It would ideally be something that wasn’t too stiff like an announcement but allowed free participation.

However, it would preferably also have some level of credibility…

“Oh.”

At that moment, inspiration struck.
