The guard's expression slowly changed.
Ivy continued without giving him time to interrupt.
"Not only that, you constantly feel a strange heat spreading throughout your body. Even when you simply raise your hand or move your arm, you feel as though something is wrong inside your body."
The moment Ivy finished speaking, the guard became completely stunned.
He stared at her with his mouth hanging open, unable to utter a single word.
Ivy calmly continued.
"Your feet also begin aching whenever they come into contact with cold water. That pain is related to an old injury you suffered in the past. You probably thought it had already healed, but the damage never completely disappeared."
The guard's eyes immediately turned red.
Tears began gathering in his eyes before finally spilling down his cheeks.
He dropped to his knees in front of Ivy.
"Please, heroine, forgive me! As long as you treat me, I am willing to give you whatever you want!"
Ivy could not help chuckling.
