“Ugh.”
“Oh, my lady… I think he was already okay.”
“He’s just saying he’s okay. How can he say that he’s having a hard time too..”
“I see. He must be pretending to be okay. But, you should wash up first.”
“Oh, oh, Alex…….”
“Young master is washing up, too. And I know that the customers who slept last night are also getting ready. Now, are you okay to hear that now?”
I nodded and raised my hand at Sally as she raised her hand.
Wait? Why am I so obedient like a kid?
Ugh…
Well, what can I say…
She said he woke up.
I cried, sniffling throughout the shower. Sally saved me several times trying to choke on the hot steam.
In the end, when I came out of the shower, it was twice as swollen as when I went in. My eyes were puffy and my body got even puffier.
“Wow, the Duke must be surprised.”
Flora, who was waiting for me, clapped her hands.
“Oh, my daughter. Your face has changed a lot. Are you going to be okay?”
“Of course, I’ll be okay, thank you for your concern,” I spoke in a husky voice and drank water.
“Let’s go now.”
Flora folded my arms. Dad’s bedroom was crowded with people. Those who saw me made way for me.
“Dad!”
“Lulu.”
My dad, who was sitting in bed talking, opened his arms wide. Tears that had barely stopped earlier burst out.
Oh, I’m going crazy.
My father wiped the tears that flowed into my eyes.
“Lulu, did you worry a lot?”
“I thought my dad was dead. I really… I thought you were dead.….”
Alexid pressed my head hard.
“Just say things slowly, you pig. You’re really like a pig.”
“What?” I glared at Alexid. Tears dripped down.
What do you know about my suffering?
Do you know that our dad could really die? Do you know what I really feel?
My dad hugged me tightly.
“Our Lulu. There’s no way my dad would go anywhere without saying hi to Lulu. Right?”
I nodded my head. I hugged my father tightly. My heart ached because he was much thinner than before.
Dad’s big hand patted my back.
“Don’t cry, Lulu. I’m really okay now.”
“What about your legs? Can you hear me well?”
“My legs and ears are fine. I don’t think there are any aftereffects. Aunt told me that if I keep taking the medicine, I’ll get better.”
I nodded my head. It was a real relief.
My assignment is done. I saved my father from death.
No, from Nisephor.

Gerald watched Louella and left the mansion. As Gerald and Louella hoped, they succeeded in saving Arthur, the Duke, from Nisephor.
Next is Louella’s turn.
Gerald leaned back in the carriage with a tired face.
“Where are you going? To the mansion….”
“To the Academy.”
“Yes, my lord.” Gerald closed his eyes.
[The girl smells bad. Smells like the Crown Prince. The smell of my brothers!]
“I know.”
Gerald already knew that the Crown Prince had a secret. Isn’t it weird that one wouldn’t know when he was making it so obvious?
[She could be in danger]
“I’m a hostage, so I won’t try to hurt you.”
[Hmm. Do you know that? White Uroboros is a food for humans.]
Gerald smoothed his wrist. It was burning with the power of Uroboros.
[Do you know what Nisephor is? Do you know why it started? Nisephor is a sign of God. It’s a sign of my brother after I claimed to be a god. It means stamping a seal on a delicious prey.]
Gerald bit his lips.
The black Uroboros have been harping on secrets since they got on board.
Like trying to make amends for not having a single talk with someone for a long time.
“So? It’s not an incurable disease.”
[It’s a process of erasing traces. It’s a little different. Did you say you put Mana Stone in the medicine? That force is used to erase traces.]
“What do you want to say?”
Gerald gave a cold blow to his brain.
There must be a reason that this Uroburos was taking so long.
He felt like he was on edge. Yesterday, Louella seemed drunk. He couldn’t pull himself together in front of Louella and eventually revealed his true feelings.
He knew for himself how dangerous it was. Louella might never see Gerald again.
If he thinks about Louella so far, she may try to draw a line again and run away.
If only he hadn’t been swayed by alcohol. If he hadn’t been swayed by Louella’s tears at that moment.
He needed to save Louella from the disease as much as possible.
