Meanwhile, Swan was sitting inside the bathtub, dipping her entire body to neck length. She stared at her legs that she put at the other end of the bathtub.

She gazed at the difference between her legs. Her right ankle was normal, but the left ankle was crooked to the point it looked strange.

Swan remembered how she fell from the second floor after Aria ordered the guards to push her. She thought her whole body would shatter like a glass. But she didn't.

Unfortunately, her left leg was the first to land, and she broke her ankle instantly.

Nobody helped her after her fall, so she was left on the palace ground with unimaginable pain.

She was finally carried inside the palace at dusk when a few maids pitied her. She was treated with all the basic knowledge they had but improper treatment made her unable to move her left leg from the knee down since then. O

In the end, she became crippled, and it only made Aria laugh as she found it hilarious that Swan was still alive after the fall.

Swan didn't know what to feel about Aria.

Part of her had always been dictated by everyone in the palace to forgive Aria and let her have her fun since Swan was just a prostitute's daughter.

But the other part of her was so bitter of her half-sister that she wished Aria could disappear from this world. Nevertheless, she never had the strength to defend herself against Aria's bullying. Aria would call the guards to beat her up if she dared to talk back, let alone fight back.

‘Ah, I shouldn't think about her. She wasn't around anymore, so I should be safe. Swan thought. ‘I hope to never meet her again in this life...'

Swan continued staring at her left leg and began to yell, “Heal!”

Nothing happened, which was strange, since she seemed to be so powerful in her dream last night. "Uhm... cure my leg!"
