The Hero With The Power of Song (Female Reader x Rise of The Shield Hero)

Episode 9.5: Healing the Body and Mind

(Y/N): Oww! Careful...

Malty: Sorry. Just a little longer.

Malty was using her healing magic in my back to get rid of the last of the burns. I flinched as she pressed too hard.

(Y/N): Oww! Malty!

Malty: I said I'm sorry! Hold still!

I bear with the pain a little longer before she pulls back. I let out a sigh and layed my face down on a pillow. She sat beside me and rubbed my back.

Malty: Better?

(Y/N): Much. Doesn't help that you were pushing too hard.

Malty: Well I couldn't heal you properly if I didn't find what tissue wasn't connected.

(Y/N): Could have done it a little softer.

I yelp when she slapped my back. I sat up and looked at her. She was looking away from me. I smirk before wrapping my arms around her.

Malty: !!!! H-hey!

(Y/N): Wanna play games huh? Well, why don't your try this on for size!

I stand up and raise her over my head.

Malty: Ahh! Put my down! Stop that!

(Y/N): Then say your sorry~.

Malty: Never!....Hmm! Kindle!

She raised her finger and makes a sparking ball. She then dropped it as it started to bounce around my feet, forcing me to move.

(Y/N): Ah! Hey! The hell!

Malty: Dance for me hero! Dance for your princess!

I groan and throw her onto her bed. I summon my weapon and grab the spark and hold it tight to muffle it. After it burns out, i put my weapon away.

(Y/N): Real funny.

Malty: You picked me up. That's what you get~.

(Y/N): Well then, guess I have to get my revenge~.

I jumped onto the bed and grabbed her wrist and pinned her down.

Malty: !!!

I smirked down at her. But, I lose my smirk when I see her blushing face and her head was slightly turned away from me.

I release my grip and sit on my knees.

(Y/N): S-sorry! I'm used to roughhousing with my siblings that I didn't think about-

Malty: (Y/N)....can...can I ask you for a favor?

(Y/N): A favor? What is it?

She sat up and stared at me.

Malty: I...You know that I'm a princess right?

(Y/N): Well yeah. Honestly, it was a shock at first, but I think I get it. What's up?

Malty: W-well....While I was helping set up for the feast...my father and I had a talk...about, how when the waves are over...he will marry me off.

!!!

(Y/N): W-what?! But didn't you get a say in this?

Malty: That's what I brought up...but he doesn't care. As long as it helps the reputation of Melromarc.

T-that's insane!.... Although...is it really? I mean, this happens alot in history and movies. So I guess it could happen here.

(Y/N): But why you? Didn't you say you had a sister?
