500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System-Chapter 446 The Cure For Defenestraphobia

"Come any closer, and I will kill you! Get back!" The guard threatened, and I chuckled before nodding at her to move aside. She seemed taken aback by my response, and she stepped aside, letting me close on Melrose.

"You have nothing to fear from me," I said soothingly, and one of the guards even nodded, but the Queen didn't move.

"I-I-I-I don't know what to do," She stuttered, and I laughed.

"It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you; I'm just here because I want to make things right between us," I said gently, and Melrose slowly looked up at me, her face full of surprise.

"Y-you do?" She asked, and I smiled before nodding.

"Yes, I do. I can tell that you are scared of me, and I understand why. I am an intimidating creature, but I mean you no harm, and I promise not to take you near any windows," I said, and Melrose slowly smiled.

"Thank you," She said quietly, and I nodded before turning to the two guards that were still eyeing me warily.

"Please, take us back to the castle; I think it is time we had a talk," I said as I stepped back, and the two guards nodded before escorting us back to the palace.

Melrose stayed beside me, but she was constantly watching me. It got so bad that I had to pull her out of the way of a pole. That made her scream, and then I was forced to explain myself, but we finally got to the Queen's large manor.

Once inside, we were led to the Queen's chambers, and Melrose seemed to relax slightly. I sat down in a chair, and she sat on the bed.

"Would you like me to stay in the room?" Della asked, but Melrose shook her head. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

"It is clear that if she wanted to do anything, she would have done it already. Even if you were in here, do you think you could stop a god? I have signed off on my fate and will face this god's wrath that I have incurred," Melrose said in a defeated voice.

I kept my sigh to myself as Della came into the room further. "I think that you should have more faith in Galio. While I know she might have seemed mean at the time, I don't think that anyone was thinking straight! I really think that you should give her another chance, my Queen!"

Melrose nodded and then waved for Della to leave the room. Once the door was closed, Melrose turned her head to the window that had been boarded over.

"I am not sure what we are supposed to do now. This is outside of my range as Queen, and I am not used to dealing with people that I am scared of because I am not scared of anyone. That is until I met you. I didn't even know that a person could even do what you could, but if you are more than Tallia, then I guess it makes sense," she said with a sigh. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"I am sorry for what I did," I said as I stood up, starting to draw in some Positive Energy. I walked over to Melrose and sat down beside the Queen on her bed. She flinched, but I wrapped the shaking woman in my arms. "You have been holding these negative emotions since I was here last, and possibly longer. Tallia was right that I should have done this earlier."

The Queen shook in my arms, but I pumped Positive Energy and feeling into her as much as I could, and Melrose stopped shaking. Then she leaned in and hugged me back with a long airy sigh.

"Wow, now that is amazing. How is that even possible? How do I feel like the old me suddenly?" Melrose asked as she pulled back from me slightly to look up into my eyes with wonder. "Why does it feel like I just woke up from a nightmare that started much before you arrived? I can hardly remember a time when I wasn't anxious or upset!"

"Negative emotions, feelings, and Energy, in general, can do some scary things to the body. The thing is that you don't need magic to use it like a weapon," I explained but then smiled. "Positive Energy is not a weapon; it is a cure and shield. Happiness can be taken, but never for yourself."

"That makes sense, but I can't imagine anyone being able to do what you just did. I can finally understand how you felt. After all the time my Goddess spent with me, I forgive you, and I am sorry for everything," Melrose explained, and I pulled her back into the hug.

"Good. Do you mind if I call Tallia back? I am pretty sure that we are coming up to an hour, and I know that woman will try to weasel out of this beach date!" I asked, and Melrose nodded, pulling back from me and wiping her eyes.

A small portal opened somewhere near me, but it was so small that I could only feel it.

"So, you seem to have helped Melrose, but we are still all getting ready. You can take her out on a date while we all get ready. Nya has a beach for us, so she will come to get you when it is time," Tallia called from my right, and I spotted the hole.

Instantly, it closed, and another one opened.

"Don't peek, nya~!"

"Nya, stop being cute and go with the girls!" Tallia snapped from above and then sighed. "You might as well see if you can figure out anything about the Easterners as well. I have been looking, but they are just lazy as far as I can tell."

"Sure, do you mind if I bring a couple people along with us?" I asked, and Tallia laughed.

"You don't want to know how many people are going to be there. Even fifty more isn't going to make a difference. This is starting to feel like a festival rather than a small relaxing day," Tallia said after her laughter stopped.

"Oh boy. Well, it is what it is. Sounds like a beach party," I said and smiled. "Okay, let me know when you are all ready."
