Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 61

"Leysha... what magic is this?" I asked curiously.

Leysa smiled at my question.

She still held her short golden staff high, and the blue crystal on the staff’s edge still emitted a bright light, providing a palpable healing effect.

A few minutes passed, and Leysha lowered her staff again, and at the same time, the healing light ceased to glow.

The former Ventura soldiers, who had been complaining and raving about wanting to die, fell silent, shocked by their now fully recovered bodies.

Each of them could feel their natural immune systems surge, so much that the effects of the Great Wyvern’s poison no longer bothered them.

"The Great Wyvern’s poison this time is significantly stronger than the one used in Thornvale, Baron Atreus. I can detect that there’s a blockage in each of their magical flow, some kind of dragon curse that’s preventing the antidote our healers gave them from working," Leysha explained slowly, then showed the golden staff.

"...this is Lady Vermillion’s healing wand. With this golden wand, I can create a healing spell that can remove the dragon’s curse from their bodies, restoring the effects of the antidote to normal," she continued calmly.

"Oh, it seems you’ve removed more than just the dragon’s curse with your healing magic, Leysha. Even the pain in our muscles, nerves, and joints has disappeared instantly! An extraordinary healing spell that can heal many people at once," I praised in admiration.

Leysha lowered her head, humbled, though I knew she was proud to receive my praise.

"Oh, so she’s no ordinary healer...! She’s the goddess of healing and our savior!"

"Thank you, goddess of healing...! My suffering is over...! I thought I was going to die a horrible death...!"

The cries of the former Ventura soldiers now sounded moved and full of hope.

Their previously gloomy and depressed faces were now replaced by faces filled with emotion and gratitude.

They even trooped over to Leysha and prostrated themselves before her.

"Thank you, goddess of healing...! Thank you again...!"

"We owe you a debt...!"

"Um...calm down..." Leysha looked nervous and awkward as people prostrated themselves to her.

She even looked at me, signaling with her eyes and mouth for help as the cries and praise from the former Ventura soldiers grew louder.

"Heh...looks like you have a group of worshippers, Leysha..." I said with a chuckle.

"Baron Atreus...! H-how I can handle this...?" Leysha replied, still awkwardly.

"It’s okay, Leysha. They just wanted to thank you since I almost killing them to end their suffering. And you came along and offered an unexpected, satisfying alternative. You deserve all this praise, Leysha."

Leysha paused for a moment, thinking, then she dared to look back at the former Ventura soldiers who were bow and praising her.

I saw her expression was firmer and more confident, no longer as nervous as usual.

"If you want to thank me, thank Baron Atreus, because he sent me here. He has been very concerned about all of your condition. I understand you are afraid, disappointed, and saddened by all the treatments the Vermillion healers have tried, but Baron Atreus has not given up. Baron Atreus wants to end your suffering, so he asked me to heal you all. If Baron Atreus hadn’t tried so hard, you might all have died in vain!" Leysha exclaimed firmly.

The former Ventura soldiers were stunned for a moment, looking at each other in doubt.

I knew they hated me so much because they were frustrated with the treatments and were trying to dump all that stress on me.

Honestly, I didn’t really care whether they would forgive me or not.

But apparently, they changed their minds.

They marched toward me with bowed faces and slow, polite steps.

At first, Alex wanted to call on my troops to immediately protect me, but I asked him to stay where he was and not give any orders.

As soon as the former venture soldiers gathered before me, they immediately prostrated themselves to me.

"Forgive us, Baron Atreus Vermillion!"

"We were wrong to have dumped all this burden of suffering on you, Baron Atreus! We apologize!"

Their cries came out without pressure and full of clarity.

I detected no falsehood or hypocrisy.

Oh my, I never thought Leysha could change them so easily.

She not only changed the fate of those tormented by disease, but also changed their erroneous mindset.

I saw Leysha smile at me with a thumbs-up, a pose so innocent, but I liked that sweet and silly side of her.

"Alright...it seems we don’t need to continue this pointless argument any longer. You are free to choose your place on this golden mountain of Aaren. But if you want to find your true role as a warrior, then join me as Vermillion. I know how you feel imprisoned on this golden mountain of Aaren. You are imprisoned alongside one of the strongest dragons on this land. You cannot enjoy the piles of gold and azure crystals on this mountain because you are merely pawns of King Victor Dragomir."

The former Ventura warriors fell silent, some whispering hesitantly, some still lost in thought.

A few minutes passed in silence, until finally one of them asked a question. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"I-if we join Vermillion, can we get the gold on this golden mountain of Aaren?" asked one of the warriors.

I smiled at the honest question.

"Of course, not just gold, but a decent place to live, not just become pawns in the midst of King Bahamut’s curse like this. I simply want you to fulfill your roles as Ventura Soldiers, ensuring that Duke Archer, who regularly visits the Golden Mountains of Aaren, believes that Vermillion hasn’t entered. Countess Azaela has already agreed to my proposal," I replied firmly.

"O-oh... even Countess Azalea? W-what about Baroness Sheiza...?" another soldier asked.

"Baroness Sheiza is obviously in a state of inability to fight or make decisions. But if you wish to join and support Vermillion’s vision, then I will ensure that both Countess Azalea and Baroness Sheiza join me. Once the preparations are complete, we will launch an ambush that will defeat Duke Archer’s influence!"

"Ohh...!"

The former Ventura soldiers immediately sounded impressed by my explanation.

The initial hesitation evident on their faces was now replaced by a firm, confident look.

"Long live Vermillion...!" one of the venture soldiers dared to shout, immediately being met by the shouts of the other venture soldiers.

"Long live Vermillion...! Vermillion is our new king...!"

"Vermillion...! Vermillion....! Vermillion....!"

Huh... now the former Ventura troops were calling out to me, choosing to be loyal to me with all seriousness.

I looked at Alex, signaling that he would have more soldiers, which was immediately met with a grateful smile from Alex that the Ventura soldiers were no longer rebellious and depressed.

Yeah... honestly, I’d rather see them have new hope for survival than live depressed and suffering like this.

Now my attention shifted to Leysha.

Leysha smiled because she knew I was staring at her.

It was a smile I knew she’d never shown to any man but me.

Leysha showed those sexy lips, gesturing with a seductive face.

Then she slowly pointed out her crotch, even it just a moment.

I saw her face flush with embarrassment as she did this, but Leysha wanted to do it for me anyway.

Heh... Leysha and I both knew what we wanted after all this ruckus solved.

Just the thought of it made my cock stand firm!
