The old man nodded, "Only divine power can make a difference at this point. I’ve witnessed a few individuals heal through it."
"In that case, there’s no issue. I possess divine power as well."
"You possess divine power too?" Erich was surprised.
She nodded with eagerness, "King Drayce informed me that, like him, I possess both the power of darkness and the divine power of light."
Erich gazed at her with a hint of disbelief and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small pouch and emptied it into his hand, revealing a tiny, round bead-like substance.
"What is this?" she inquired.
"This is the medicine that once saved King Drayce’s knight from the brink of death. This medication used to contain divine power, but over time, it has waned, possibly because it was in the possession of a human rather than a supernatural being. I’ve examined its ingredients, but I could only identify a few. The rest can only be recognized and harnessed by witches. I’ll provide you with a list of the ingredients I’ve managed to identify, but you’ll have to uncover the others on your own. I believe that, as a witch, it shouldn’t be too challenging for you. Once you’ve prepared these pills, all you’ll need to do is infuse them with your divine power. Without divine power, the pill is ineffective, and without all the required ingredients, the divine power is useless. We need both, as well as perfectly crafted pills."
A glimmer of hope sparkled in her eyes. "Thank you so much, Master. This saves me a lot of time."
"I’m unsure of the creator of this pill, or I would have certainly sought their assistance. From what I understand, neither Martha nor Queen Seren could have made it, as it requires a witch with divine power. Martha is an ordinary witch, and Queen Seren is not a witch."
"I understand," she replied, "I believe I know who might have created it."
"Who?"
"King Drayce’s mother. She is the Queen of witches and possesses divine power."
"Then perhaps you can seek their help."
"I can’t trouble them, and I’ve heard they’ve journeyed to the secret realm of supernaturals, a place inaccessible to anyone. Instead of wasting time to find them, I’ll prepare this medicine on my own."
Erich agreed and she inquired, "How is His Majesty faring?"
