Severin’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. “So, what I’m getting from you is that you know how to treat it and you need my assistance to execute it? If that’s true, then let me know what I can do to help. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help her, even if it means having to descend into a sea of fire.”
Wuhlricht nodded with joy. “You’re aware that individuals with the Ice–Blond Constitution cannot live beyond the age of thirty. Their thirtieth birthday marks the end of their lives. At that point, their bodies will undergo a complete transformation from the inside out, freezing them into an ice sculpture from which they’ll never awaken. Gilda is currently just over twenty- nine years old, so please lend me your hand and save my daughter. I don’t want to lose her.”
After a pause, Wuhlricht gazed at Severin earnestly and implored, “I’m begging you, Severin
Severin promptly responded, “You and I are like family, and you’ve shown immense kindness to me already. You don’t need to beg me for that. I promise to help in whatever way I can. Tell me. What do you need me to do?”
Wuhlricht then revealed, “The Ice–Blood Constitution acts up during the fifteenth of August every year. It will be less severe on a moonless night, but worse on nights where the moon is clear. During this time, Gilda’s body becomes extremely cold, and she would always lose consciousness as a result. The treatment requires an individual with a strong Sun–Heart Constitution to be physically intimate with her on that very night. In taking her innocence, both constitutions will be neutralized and Gilda’s body will be restored to normal. This will then ensure her survival past the age of thirty.” novelbin
Wuhlricht’s words rendered Severin silent. He now understood why Wuhlricht had prevented him from examining Gilda’s pulse earlier. He had been concerned that Severin might reveal his daughter’s condition upon leaming of it or that Severin might know about the treatment.
After a brief episode of bewilderment, Severin finally said, “Is this why you asked me if I found Gilda attractive? It all makes sense now. There’s a reason why you insisted on my arrival before the fifteenth of August. You were worried that you might miss out on the best time to treat her.”
Wuhlricht affirmed. “Yes, this is our only chance. Missing it would render any subsequent treatment attempts ineffective. This method is the only one that the great elder and I have so painstakingly discovered from an ancient text.”
Severin considered the proposal for a moment and then conveyed his sentiments, “I have no issue with this, but I am reluctant to take away Gilda’s innocence in this manner. I think it’s best for you to inform her of the circumstances surrounding this. She has the right to know.”
Wuhlricht shook his head and responded, “I know her character too well. She will refuse if I tell her. She places a lot of Importance on her innocence.”
After contemplating it for a while, Severin proposed an alternative. “There are still four days left. Why don’t you ask her if she is willing to marry me? We could hold the wedding on that day, and I can be responsible for her. It might seem hasty, but at least she would be well informed.”
Wuhdricht sighed helplessly and replied, “It’s impossible for her to fall in love with you in four days, and I doubt she would agree to marry you. The only option is to take her innocence that night without letting her know about it, or else she might try to kill you if she discovers the truth. When everything is done, I will inform her that someone with a Sun–Heart Constitution has healed her. Rest assured that I won’t reveal who it was even if she asks about it. You can see it as an unexpected night of intimacy.”
After thinking it over, Severin remarked, “I will strive to win her affections in the future after being her first. I will take responsibility for her.”
