Hmm. Seems like the author forgot to add the Yuri/Shoujo-Ai tag to their series. Simple mistake. Happens to the best of us. Hopefully someone mentions it to them so they can fix it soon. ![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Jokes(that I wish weren't jokes) aside, really great story so far. Medea x Psyche all the way!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
@otakushoujo This happens a fair bit into the story so I'm putting it in a spoiler tab(therefore new readers, read at your own risk), but basically

the necklace is either a divine relic or was blessed by someone of faith. More importantly, however, is that Psyche is apparently loved by god and thus is blessed with divine power as was mentioned by her mother, which we see when Medea is given Psyche's memories. It was mentioned some chapters before that the Imperial family and the church both have divine blood since their ancestors had been blessed, with one family focusing on expansion of the nation(The Monarchy) and the other focusing on internal stability(The Church). As such, if word got out that Psyche had been blessed then a lot of trouble would follow. For one, the Imperial Family would probably feel threatened by the fact that a new family was born who may have a right to the throne since they are blessed. Therefore, they'd want to get rid of them. For another, the Church might brand them heretics who were falsely claiming divinity and would then have them crucified. In either case, it would mean certain death for Psyche and her family if she was discovered, which Psyche's mother even mentioned in the form of that story she read her daughter. It's not directly stated, but I believe this is the reason why she was hidden away in the first place. As for why this is all important, it's often believed in many, if not most, works of literature that divine relics are only of use in the hands of those blessed by the divine. That is, they only work if someone with divine blood or has a divine soul uses them(sometimes by literally pouring their blood on said relic), otherwise they are worthless trinkets. Assuming this is the case, then since Psyche's soul is in Medea's body that makes Medea's blood Psyche's, and since her blood spilled on the necklace it reacted to Psyche's wish to have a few more minutes by literally turning back Medea's time. This healed Medea's wounds in the form of turning back her(or rather Psyche's) body's time to a point where she wasn't injured. As for whether or not the wounds will come back on their own is uncertain, but I'd like to think those injuries are gone for good, and usually that is the case for stories like this. However if they do come back, then at least this gives them all more time to get Medea to a doctor before the wounds slowly come back as the divine power wears off.
With all that said, please understand that a lot of what I said is mostly conjecture, and until chapter 18 and onwards are released we won't know the truth of the matter. However, I would like to think my assumption is at least fairly close to the truth. Guess we won't know for sure till we get more to read.
