The Only Healer, Ruela (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17
Ruela pulled out a portrait she had kept earlier from the pocket of her discarded cloak and held it out.
“Well, what do you think? Would even you, Guildmaster, be able to tell it’s me?”
“It looks very similar.”
“In that case, I can’t go outside anyway. Balder Guildmaster himself has apparently been handing out those portraits everywhere—seems he’s got nothing better to do. If I wander outside, that guy will instantly find out where I am.”
Ruela pouted and crumpled the portrait mercilessly, as if expressing her anger toward Balder. Kite suppressed a smile at the sight and replied.
“I know—I saw it earlier. But you can’t just stay inside forever.”
“Is it because you need my abilities? But I haven’t even awakened yet. I’m completely useless, so it shouldn’t matter if I just stay indoors, right?”
“As a guild member, you must participate in external activities regardless of whether you’ve awakened or not. Besides, Balder will soon find out you’re hiding here—even if you don’t go outside yourself. He’ll probably storm in here any moment, drag you off, and throw you straight into a trial. That’s exactly why your name absolutely must be on the guild roster, so we can help you when that happens.”
Ruela sighed deeply, pondered for a moment, then spoke.
“What if I just faced the trial instead? It’s not such a grave crime to develop feelings for someone else while already having a lover, is it?”
Kite shook his head firmly, as if the idea were utterly absurd.
“Here, the severity of the crime doesn’t matter—it matters that the other party is Balder. Even if it’s truly nothing serious, if you’ve offended Balder’s feelings, that alone makes it a major offense. And besides, the trial won’t be anything like the fair, proper trial you’re imagining.”
“Oh?”
“Think about it. Ruela Romnin was famously haughty, arrogant, and ill-tempered. It was well known that she never even let her lover Balder hold her hand. And then rumors spread about her and another man? How do you think Balder felt?”
Ruela slumped her shoulders and replied with a weary expression.

Raphael, too, kept glancing back and forth between his hand and Ruela with disbe
I love the fact the author shows her testing her theories and failing, it makes it really immersive

“It’s like my eyes are opened, and everything feels bright.”
Hahaha, Ruella hasn’t changed, she’s still flirting and doesn’t care. Poor Kate, he’ll fall for her easily. 🤭💗

Thus, he decided to take in Rominin, a poor nobleman, as his son-in-law.
Oh my? So Ro is the sister in law to the future duchess Kuran? She’s been tied up in something hectic.
