Everyone but one maid left with her, and Karl found himself nose to nose with a curious Librarian.
"You have questions, I assume?"
The dragon snorted, and lightning crackled at his nostrils. "Yes, you could say that I have questions. For one, how did you awaken the Princess? Did you nullify the curse that had been placed on her, or is it something else?"
Curse? Cara cast [Nullify] on the Princess, and felt mana start pouring into the young Princess’ body as the negative effect was dispelled.
This place had rather intense mana, stronger than even Zilaz. Given a bit of time, Rue would surely advance to an acceptable standard.
"Oh, now the curse is Nullified. I should have expected that with the Chaos Badger. Might I ask, how did she end up in that state? With her healing skills, the species should be immune to such lingering wounds." The Librarian asked.
"She licked a Demigod."
"Pretend I didn’t ask."
Karl winked at the dragon. "I know that you secretly want to know, and that it’s going to bother you if I don’t tell you. But it’s really just as it sounds. We were in a fight and a Demigod of the Beast God Pantheon was called to intervene.
Naturally, she needed to know what it tasted like."
The Librarian frowned at Cara, then slowly nodded. "I understand. I wish that I could say that I didn’t. But I do. Now I want to know what a Beast Pantheon Demigod tastes like."
"It’s a hazard of the occupation. Once you find out that a thing exists, you need the details. However, as we’re the last ones here, I will give you one more tidbit of information." Karl added.
{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Refreshing Lightning] will be transferred to the Curious Librarian Barry. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Librarian Barry stared at Karl for a full minute, while the maid waited silently for something to happen.
Then, he began to tilt.
Karl caught him and set the Librarian in a chair, while the maid began to panic.
"He’s fine. He merely forgot that he needed to do things like standing while he’s lost in thought." Karl explained.
The maid nodded understandingly. "Oh, just blue dragon things, then. He’s infamous for falling asleep while reading at his desk. But you can never tell if he’s sleeping with his eyes open, or just thinking really hard until you see if he answers.
If he’s asleep, asking him a question will wake him up."
"We can let him sort out his thoughts. Why don’t you show us to the suite now, and the Librarian can come find us when he is ready?" Karl suggested.
The maid bowed to Karl, and then led them out, while Cara circled her feet, and Princess Rue hid behind Karl.
She knew that the Queen was not going to be happy about having to move her, but she couldn’t leave her in the same room without embarrassing herself in front of the foreign guest.

Even then, there wasn’t much that they would do as the Supreme Lady of Cyhosasa was a psychopath who would laugh her way right through a major war, should anyone be crazy enough to start one with her.
