Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Ivy’s Point of View

The girl standing right before my eyes in the center of the medicine shop is actually Princess Emma. I truly did not expect her  face to recover so remarkably well after just one short month since I healed her. Her skin looked absolutely radiant.

If you did not stand right next to her and look very closely, you could not see any scars at all. My shamanic magic had worked absolute miracles for her, knitting together flesh that the regular pack doctors had called completely hopeless.

The little princess smiled so wide. "Thank you so much!" she beamed. She thanked me very happily, clasping her hands together. She was completely filled with genuine joy.

"How is your mother, Queen Rhia?" I asked.

Emma smiled warmly. "She is doing well, thank you for asking." Then, her eyes sparked with sudden mischief. "I want to unmask you now. I want to look at your real face, Physician Lin"

The moment those words left her mouth, my personal guards, Wolf and Blade, immediately tensed up. They completely surrounded my body, their shoulders blocking her view. They were shielding my secret identity, ready to protect my disguise at any cost.

I quickly waved my hand at them from behind their backs.

"Stand down," I instructed softly, pitching my voice into the youthful masculine tone of Physician Lin. I signaled for them to retreat so they wouldn’t terrify the her.

Wolf and Blade hesitated slightly, exchanging a protective glance, before stepping back a few inches. But they still watched her warily, their faces alert.  But the little princess did not care about them. She completely ignored my co-divine doctors.

She tilted her head, inspecting my face with a curious pout.

"Is it inconvenient for you to show your face?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "Is it hard to reveal your true appearance to the person you saved?"

"I cannot show my face due to a sacred medical oath."

Emma tapped her chin thoughtfully, tracking my movements. "Fine. If you must keep your face hidden, can you at least reveal your age? Surely that isn’t a secret."

I had to think very fast. I could not tell her my actual age, or she might connect the dots back to the palace. So I casually told a total lie with a straight face. "I am twenty years old."

The little princess nodded her head, her eyes filled with admiration. She was very satisfied with that answer. "Twenty," she said in awe.

“I’ll take my leave.” She said, as she turned around and left the store with her personal royal guards, completely at peace with what she had discovered.

"What did she mean by all of those questions? Why was she pressing so hard to see your face? Do you think they want to investigate you?" Blade asked.
