Lucius watched the healers attempt to treat and heal the man in order for him to wake up.

Even though he specified that they were not really there to treat his burns or the loss of limbs, they still underwent the procedure.

Lucius didn\'t mind it that much as long as it actually helped in increasing the man\'s survivability into waking up.

However, after working on the assassin for a certain amount of time, the healers discussed the situation and then Healer Delia approached him.

Lucius already had a feeling about what she was going to say, but still felt disappointed.

"We apologize, Young Lord Asher. The man\'s brain has been directly damaged and he will only be in this vegetative state from now on." Healer Delia explained.

Lucius crossed his arms and glanced at the assassin\'s body.

He couldn\'t help but think about when Asher\'s body had been treated well enough that he was able to move and talk again.

Of course, that was through the gifts from the goddess Alana\'s priests… but surely there was probably a healer equivalent to them.

"What if we get a healer with a stronger gift? Perhaps they might be able to help and actually treat this man." Lucius said.

"That is… that might be possible, my lord. However, even with our oaths, I don\'t think a Healer would willingly use their gift to treat an assassin, someone who takes the lives of others. And even getting an appointment with someone with such a strong gift might not be possible."

Lucius pinched the bridge of his nose and had expected that much.

He hadn\'t considered the priests of Alana for that very reason and knew that while the Inanis Family could pay for tithes… it was still a rather costly affair for a mere assassin\'s life.

The Countess and Count would naturally protest and think it would be insane to even consider that after the assassin\'s attempt on their son\'s life so it really wouldn\'t work even if he was willing to try.

"Alright. I understand the situation now, Healer Delia. Thank you for trying for my sake." Lucius thanked the woman and the rest of the healers who came at a moment\'s notice.

"We\'re honored to serve you, my lord." Healer Delia said.

Lucius dismissed the healers and brought back the assassin\'s body to the laboratory. While the method of healing his injuries was now out of the question, there was still another approach that he could still take.

However, before he could start, Kiana arrived at his laboratory and interrupted him from proceeding.

"Asher?"

"Ah, Kiana, what is it?" Lucius raised a brow. "Did something urgent came up?"

"The Countess just wanted me to check on you, and I feel like she\'s right. You haven\'t been able to rest after that assassin attempted to take your life, and you even called for the healers to try to heal him. I encountered Healer Delia on her way out." Kiana said.

"Thank you for checking up on me, but please let my mother know that I am alright. It hadn\'t actually been that long since I left the mansion." Lucius said. "Though I did hear that there\'s an ongoing arrest of people in the streets?"

While he was at the re-education center, he heard the news from the people there that a lot of guards were roaming the city and capturing criminals.

"Yes, everyone with even the smallest criminal record to anyone lurking and being suspicious are being captured." Kiana informed him.

"That\'s good news. Have you also met with Leif?" Lucius asked.

"I didn\'t need to go there myself, the man submitted a list of possible people who could have been linked to the incident."

"That\'s great. There are more people so we can check up on then." Lucius said. "I\'m interested in seeing the list at the most available time."

"Since that\'s the case, how about I remove this body now, Asher?" Kiana glanced at the assassin asleep and raised her hand, a dart appearing out of her palm as she activated her gift. "He\'s good as dead now."

"Not so fast, Kiana. He may look dead to you, but he\'s still breathing." Lucius appreciated the assertiveness, but he was clearly not yet done with the assassin. "Either way, as much as I would like to join you and return to the Inanis mansion, there\'s still something to be done here."

"There is? Wouldn\'t you rather rest first? It\'s nearly morning and you haven\'t been able to sleep properly." Kiana asked and then glanced at the assassin\'s body.

She didn\'t know what Asher wanted to do with it, until she thought of what were his possible options.

"Or at least eat breakfast before you work on this assassin? Making him into one of the Masked Legion will probably take a lot of energy compared to the others with his injuries." Kiana said and then paused. "That is what you\'ll be doing, right Asher?"

Kiana remembered that June hadn\'t actually turned into a Lost and she had disposed of her body before. But if Asher wanted to try with this assassin, then he was free to do so.

Lucius glanced at the assassin\'s body and shook his head.

The thought of turning the assassin into one of the Lost seemed like Lucius\'s next step, but that was because Kiana was unaware of what else Lucius could do.

However, explaining everything to Kiana right now was not Lucius\' priority as compared to actually getting the information that he wanted from the assassin.

"I will probably be preoccupied for a day or two and require some time by myself to do what I need to do." Lucius said. "In the meantime, I will be staying here at the re-education center and can take care of myself. I trust that you\'ll be able to explain this to mother, Kiana."

Kiana blinked and then stared at Asher, she knew that there were things that he hadn\'t shared… but she trusted him implicitly.

"Of course." Kiana nodded before she excused herself from the laboratory.

Once Kiana was gone, Lucius prepared himself and then entered into his mind space. He then started to remove all of his spell matrices.
