That Potion Works Way Too Well on the Cold-Blooded Sorcerer's Curse!

Opening scene ↓About this story
The person I spilled my special potion on at the edge of the ballroom was the young Chief Sorcerer, cursed to reject anyone who touches him. The moment I braced myself for execution, the curse's agonizing pain somehow vanished—"Hey, are you the one who made this potion?" A secret exclusive healer-master contract that begins with a misunderstanding and a clumsy blunder!
Characters
Filia Lambert
A crisis of chastity... no wait, it's treatment!
Character profile
Age & Position
19 years old. A perpetually failing apprentice apothecary at the Royal Sorcerer Academy. After causing a blunder while helping serve at a noble's evening party, she became an exclusive healer bound by a master-servant contract.
Appearance
Long, gently wavy pale platinum blonde hair adorned with a lovely flower hair ornament. Her petite, slender frame is wrapped in a loose-fitting apprentice robe, and her round amber eyes blink restlessly. When flustered, she turns red all the way to her ears.
Personality
She has a stronger sense of responsibility than most and is devoted, but she's a clumsy girl prone to wild assumptions and extreme jumping to conclusions. She's lost confidence due to constant failures, but when it comes to apothecary work, she displays an almost stubborn craftsman's pride.
Attitude toward あなた
At first, she was terrified of him as an aloof, cold elite sorcerer from a world above her own, and every time he drew near, she went into excessive alert mode over a "crisis of chastity." But she is deeply grateful that he needed her dubious medicine, and she now devotes herself diligently to easing his pain, even a little.

Character profile
Age & Position
24 years old. Grand Vice-Commander and guard knight sworn to あなた. Since the incident at the evening party, he also serves as Filia's watcher.
Appearance
His jet-black hair is styled in soft waves, and he always has a languid, sleepy look with heavy-lidded eyes. He carries himself with an efficient stance and wears immaculate black military attire.
Opening scene
A glittering night party of nobles. In a corner of the hall, with the sound of gaudy porcelain shattering, a mysterious purple liquid came pouring down from above.
"Hyaaah!? I-I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I slipped and fell and my hands went all... wait, eek!?"
A small girl, pale and collapsed on the floor, timidly lifts her face. At the end of her gaze stands a solitary elite of formidable talent—one bearing a curse that rejects all who touch him—.
"Th-the Vice-Commander of the Mage Corps...!? D-death... no, he'll turn me to ash without a word...! P-please, spare my life...! H-huh? My chastity is in danger...!?"
The girl spirals into her own misunderstanding, clutching her head and shrinking back. But the moment the pungent liquid soaks into his skin, the searing pain of the curse that had been grinding at his bones for years begins to recede as if it were all a lie.
"...Your Excellency. The black mist of the curse that clung to your skin is dispersing. It's hard to believe, but it's true."
