Chapter 160 – For a Precious Person (4)
The twilight of dawn penetrates between the curtains. In a space where the wind made the curtains flutter weakly, Princess Benelia sat on her chair and looked down at Theo Rad.
Behind them, Roilen and her knights stood up, but none of them spoke. Because she did not dare to fathom the feelings that Benelia might be feeling for her.
“…….”
Benelia’s golden pupils are filled with the image of Theorard lying in bed in a deep sleep.
Even though he felt relieved to see him breathe in and out reliably, his heart swelled when he thought of Theorard’s miserable appearance when he was first discovered.
According to the soldiers, Theorard, who was found in the mountains, had an emaciated face with blood all over his body. No stabs were found on him, but from the evidence that he coughed up blood from his mouth his, a fierce battle must have taken place.
In the process, Theorad’s cherished maid fell into a state of “Quarantine night.” She escaped the worst, but not the lesser evil.
“Lauren.”
Benelia, who had been silent for hours, spoke for the first time. Her dry voice her sounded muffled, but no one pointed it out. Roylen, who was behind her, bowed her head politely.
“Yes. Her Highness her the Princess.”
Benelia was silent for a while. With her gaze still on Theorard’s face her, Venelia, who had mastered her complex emotions her, opened her lips again.
“What have I done wrong?”
“Majesty.”
“Answer me.”
What do you mean by answer? Roylen lowered her head even deeper, as she was perplexed like a cornered rat.
“I’m sorry. This lowly servant did not understand what Your Highness was saying…….”
“I asked what did I do wrong.”
A series of questions chokes Roylen. Roilen shook her head as she pondered over her answer her with several options floating in the air. Because she thought it was right to give her heartfelt advice as the situation was the situation.
“Your Highness did nothing wrong. Who would judge that an ambush would be planted on the way down the plateau of the Magic Tower? It’s clearly the work of a madman.”
“It is true that I did not read the madman’s actions in advance.”
“Majesty. Your Highness is not a god.”
Roylen sent consolation instead of consolation, but Benelia remained silent. For Benelia, who loathes and despises herself, her consolation comes not as virtue but as vice.
“…… It must have been the work of the second brother.”
Benelia muttered lowly, clenching her fists. In her two calm eyes her, miasma and anger are mixed together. No one else would know, but Roylen knew. That her Benelia’s hatred for Leonhard had reached a breaking point.
“If she hadn’t hooked up with me, she would n’t have had an accident. Again, it is my fault.”
A sad tone echoes hollowly in the hall. No one could deny Benelia’s words her, and she dared not comfort her.
In her thin ice mood, Benelia, reaching out her nobly, took her Theo Rad’s hand her.
“You saved me twice. But I am putting you in danger.”
The fact that Leonhard had targeted Theorad was like informing everyone in the imperial family that ‘Theorad was on the same boat as Benelia’.
Theorard was caught up in a terrible political battle. If a proper explanation is not given, the court officials will also start to turn Theorad into an enemy.
It was in line with Theo Rad’s death her unless Benelia overthrew her empire her. Benelia hated it to the point. Because she didn’t want to lose her friend her, Theo Rad.
“Theorad Deharm.”
Benellia, whispering her words her, raised Theo Rad’s hand. Benelia, who lightly kissed the back of her hand her, pursed her lips in determination.
“For your sake, I will become the emperor.”
All she said was that it was over. Benelia got up from her seat and lifted the coat that had been draped over her chair and put it on. She was an expensive coat, lavishly decorated with all sorts of decorations and gold threads, and enchanted with cooling and protective magic. Roylen, who was watching it, asked cautiously.
“Viscount Theorard will wake up soon. Saying goodbye is…….”
“How do you say hello?”
“Majesty.”
“Don’t vomit. I’m going to visit my second brother, so in the meantime, take care of Theorard diligently. Also, if you tell me what you want, I will bring it to you regardless of the reason.”
Having said that, Benelia opened her door and stepped out without hesitation. After that, her knights left the room one after another, leaving Roylen alone.
Hearing her receding footsteps her, Roylen sighed and sat beside Theo Rad. She had no interest in nursing her, but she had no choice but to do it because Benelia, her direct superior her, ordered it.
An hour to lift the wand and adjust the temperature in the room comfortably. After getting enough sleep, Theorard slowly opens his eyes.
After confirming that Theorard was awake, Roylen hurriedly lowered the wand.
“Viscount Theorard! Are you out of your mind?”
Theorard, who stared at Roylen, nodded slightly.
“Elf…….”
“I am lying in a makeshift hospital room. Fortunately, there is no danger to life.”
“Relief……This is……”
“This is Her Highness’s villa. Not only did you set up a high-level barrier, but even the killers wouldn’t be able to find it because no one knows the location except for your Highness’s closest aids. You can stay here until she recovers her health.”
No more risk The elf’s life is attached. Accepting the simple information, Theorard calmed down.
As you turn your gaze to the window, a lush greenery unfolds. This place also seemed to be somewhere in the mountains. After all, the only place to hide a large villa was in the mountains.
Theorard, who was admiring the scenery with cloudy eyes, stood up. Roilen insisted on lying down a little longer, but Theo Rad shook his head and sat down on the bed.
Theorard said after calming his throbbing body.
“…… What about the others?”
“Yes? Oh Her Highness the Princess is investigating this matter closely, and she has sent a secret letter to the Pelgaroin family. Perhaps in the near future, Lady Essilly will give you an answer.”
“Location notes…….”
“Ah. That’s not okay. There is a risk that the message will be discovered outside, and in the case of the location note that Viscount Theorard had, it lost its function because it was damaged when the wagon was destroyed.”
“Is that so…”
You made Esily worry again. Because she felt so sorry for herself, she could only sigh in succession. She can’t sit still though. Hiding the pain, Theorard gets up and walks to the door. After that, Roylen followed.
“Viscount Theorard. Where are you going without taking a break?”
“Elf…… I want to see my maid.”
It’s a strange sound. Roylen, shaking her head, blocked her door.
“Don’t do that, get some rest. Her Highness the Princess has also ordered Viscount Theorard to help him rest.”
“Professor Roylen.”
The light brown eyes his narrowed sharply.
“Get out of the way.”
A command, not a request. Even though there was no place in the body that was healthy, the essence in Theorard’s eyes did not shake at all. The momentum to suppress the opponent is ferocious. Hesitant Roylen eventually stepped aside and opened the door for her.
As Roylen moved aside, Theorard moved slowly through the door. Her elegant gait her makes Illen doubt her eyes her.
The only problem was that she didn’t know where to go and she ended up stopping at a fork in the hallway. As if Roylen, who was so sad about that, couldn’t help it, she followed Theo Rad’s side of him.
“Follow me. We will guide you.”
“Ah. Thank you…”
“Why did the person who said thank you gladed at me like that earlier? I thought she was scolded because she was scared.”
Theorard smiled apologetically at Roylen’s grumbling. Watching it makes me feel like all my trivial emotions are being swept away. It was an annoyingly handsome face.
Roilen shook her head and escorted Theo Rad to the hospital room where her elf was. As she opens the door and goes inside, she sees an elf lying on a hospital bed.
Theorard approached and sat down on a chair near the hospital bed, staring down at the elf.
“…….”
The color was not good. She’s breathing out, but she doesn’t feel alive. After being still for a moment, Theo Rad raised his hand and caressed the elf’s cheek. The cold touch made his hands tremble.
“Professor.”
The elf lying in the hospital bed is not normal. It seemed that the fact had become an indescribable emotion and tightened my heart.
“Tell me. How is the condition of the elves?”
“That is…”
After a brief pause, Roylen spewed out her truth.
“It’s hard to see it as a simple sleep state. The doctor said it was a “Quarantine night” Symptom. To put it simply, it is said that the consciousness that forms the ego is locked inside and cannot be awakened by external stimuli and shocks.”
In short, it was said that today’s elves are only living, breathing shells. On nights in quarantine, Theorard had also read in books.
It was famous as an incurable disease that cannot be cured even with modern medicine, as it is said that once you fall into the symptoms of an ‘isolation night’, you cannot wake up until you die.
Of course, there was no way at all.
“…… Professor. Please call a competent astrologer here.”
If a person who has mastered astrology opens the consciousness of a person who has fallen into the symptoms of ‘quarantine night’, and a third person enters it and directly rescues the unconscious patient, the disease can be cured.
However, the probability of failure was too high. If you make a mistake, you will be trapped in the consciousness of others and lose your mind in the same way.
Theorard wouldn’t know that either. Still, Roylen was embarrassed to call an astrologer.
“Viscount Theorard. I’ve heard of the viscount’s kindness, but it’s unwise to risk one’s life for a mere maid.”
“Then, is it natural for a maid to risk her life her for her her master her?”
Roylen couldn’t answer. When the murderers came, they had no idea what had happened between them.
He only recognized that there was no lie or hypocrisy in Theorard’s words and actions of his.
“…….”
It must be a hot summer right now, but when I was next to Theorard, everything seemed to freeze.
After a cool silence, Theorard managed to speak.
“I have something to say. There are so many questions. So…….”
Breathing is prolonged Theorard, who removed his hand from the elf’s cheek, turned to Roylen. Desperation is contained in her serious eyes.
“Please. Please help me to heal this woman.”
When it comes to this, how can I refuse? Roylen nodded her head with her face in her half-abandoned look.
“The saintess is coming here.”
Originally, the saintess’ behavior was a secret, so it was not allowed to be revealed outside of her mouth. Thinking that she would be fine if it was Theo Rad, Roylen calmly added her words to her.
“So, let me tell you one more time.”
