According to Sergey, Omertaâs doctor, I had been sick for ten days with fever.
I was shocked that I spent as much as ten days like that.
I thought it would only be about three or four days!
âYour fever has reduced, but moving around is absolutely forbidden. As you know, itâs best to eat well to recover quickly. Do you understand? You should eat even if you donât have an appetite. Take a light walk in between.â
Since recovering was the most important task, I followed his instructions obediently.
Ellenia had no choice but to keep her eyes on me constantly.
It was fortunate that it was soup or porridge that didnât strain my stomach.
Although it would not be an appetizing dish for the northern people, who usually ate biscuits with meaty stew in the morning.
âIs there anything youâd like to eat?â
ââŠIâll let you know if I want anything.â
This sequence of questions and answers went back and forth between Ellenia and me several times a day.
I was putting it off on the pretext of feeling sick, but I felt I had to explain why I ran away soon.
Anyway, according to some observations, no one, including Ellenia, seemed to know the truth about it.
Even my father-in-law, the Duke, seemed to have heard nothing from his son.
His daughter-in-law, who was like a hot potato, ran away from home. He should be displeased, but he did not show up.
Maybe he didnât ask because I was still sick.
âMy lady, is there a dragon in Romagna?â
âI heard thereâs no such thing in the South.â
âWhy not?â
Princess Ari and Leah hovered around like butterflies, chattering and picking flowers while I was walking around the garden.
I appreciated those two coming to visit me, but I felt strange that the royal family didnât know about the truth.
Besides, what made Lord Ivan send his sister to me after seeing everything that day?
I thought heâd be reluctant for a while.
Haa, I wonder what everyone was doing? Popo and GriffinâŠ
No, letâs not think about it. Itâs no use thinking about it. Itâs not good to make it so obvious.
âMy lady, do you know how to make a wreath?â
The weather was quite nice.
It was unbelievably sunny in Elendale.
While Lucille and other maids followed me around with cream-colored parasols, I squatted with the two children and made wreaths.
âMy lady, hereâs the refreshment table.â
Ari and Leahâs eyes sparkled.
Well, refreshment tables werenât my favourite anymore.
I used to like them a long time ago.⊠Haa, I couldnât help it.
What about this wreath? Should I give it to Ellenia? I donât know if sheâll like this, but sheâs been taking good care of me for the last few days, so, to thank herâŠ
So, I took a bribe-but-not-really-bribe to my sister-in-law and headed to the table with the two little girls.
The sweet scent wafted into my nose from the wind.
Fresh lemon cheesecake, strawberry mousse, all kinds of cookies, tarts and puddings..
âOh! Brother, why are you here?â Leah, who was hopping in excitement, paused and asked blankly.
I almost dropped the blue flower wreath that I made.
It was not that surprising, but I was completely unprepared.
âRuby.â
Beside Ellenia, who calmly turned to me, stood my husband, whom I hadnât seen for what felt like a long time.
In addition, Sir Ivan was with him.
Why did these men always pop out of nowhere?
âNice to meet you, too, sister. Hello, Princess. Long time no see, my lady. Iâm so glad to see you recovering.â
Sir Ivan was as cheerful as ever. His greeting with that friendly smile felt very sincere.
I tried to smile, but today, my facial muscles were stiff.
Ah, Iâm afraid Iâve lost my touch.âŠ!
âI-Iâve caused you needless worriesâŠâ
I was trying to respond with a smile, but I felt dizzy because I was so nervous for a moment. I staggered uncontrollably, the view in front of my eyes swaying, when a strong arm grabbed my thin forearm hurriedly.
âAre you alright?â
I hastily tried to get a hold of myself.
Izek was looking down at me with strange eyes, holding my body in his arms.
Why are you making that weird face again? So confusingâŠ
âYes, thank you.â
âYou donât look good, call SergeyâŠâŠ.â
âNo, itâs really okay! Itâs just because Iâm so happy.â
Oh, my acting skills. Itâs not completely rusty yet! And of course, my ice-cold husband immediately raised his eyes suspiciously.
âWhat?â
âI-I was afraid you wouldnât wish to see me at all. Everyone has been through so much because of meâŠâ
Including meeting up with the Vigilante guild. Hubby, what are you up to this time? What are you going to do with me?
âWell, this b*stard deserves to suffer. Isnât that right, Princess?â
âThatâs right.â Ellenia, who answered quickly, gave me a complex look. She seemed a bit worried.
I didnât know what to do for her. Iâll just give you the wreath, so pleaseâŠ
âI want to eat cake.â Leah whined. Ari was standing still, a little nervous.
Sending a side-glance at Izek, I still felt stressed.
Ellenia was probably happy, but her cousin was having a hard time. Well, this man was just that scary.
âLeah, you should be polite in someone elseâs house. Ah, such a tomboyâŠâ
âBrother, you said that you ate something called politeness.â
âYou, you damnâŠâŠ.â
Izek glanced back once, and suddenly flexed his arm. It wasnât long before a very familiar feeling came in.
This jerk, you think Iâm just a chick, donât you?
Be it the dragon, him, or Griffin, all of themâŠ
âYour ruby is well kept.â
Huh? I looked up at his face blankly, wondering what he was whispering in my ear about, and then, laughed awkwardly.
Ah, he meant the giant jewel. The one the dragon gave meâŠ
âItâs chocolate pudding!â
Somehow, everyone ended up seated around the refreshment table.
It felt strange to sit comfortably with colorful five-tier dessert trays placed delicately on the table.
More like, strange sitting with two monster-like paladins in here.
âYouâre going to eat too?â
âItâs noisy.â
Ellenia seemed to think they were out of place as well.
Her thinned eyes, as if she was trying not to squint, looked hilarious.
âE-EllenâŠâ
âWhat is it?â
âIâd like to give you this.â
I thought I wouldnât have time to give it to her if it wasnât now, so I just shoved the wreath, I was holding, towards her.
what the .... was I doing? Anyone could tell I was trying to flatter her! That too, with a wreath!
My beautiful sister-in-law looked surprised, but fortunately, she didnât refuse.
She seemed a little hesitant, but still took it. It was still a bit embarrassing. Iâd have to look for a chance to buy a decent present soon.
My husband, who was watching what I was doing, smirked.
âI think itâll look good on you. Put it on your head.â
ââŠSo irritating.â
âItâs polite to use a gift if youâve received it.â
âWhy donât you try it on? I think it would look better on you than on me.â
What? Of course, Ellenia would never put anything like that on her head. Because it wasnât her thing to do so. It would be worth watching if it was put on Izekâs head, though.
âYouâre the one who received it, so you should use it.â
âIâm suggesting it because you seem to want it. Arenât you mad that Ruby only gave it to me?â
I was starting to worry about the flow of this conversation.
For a strange reason that I would never know, Izek only drank the tea in front of him instead of responding to his sisterâs taunt.
Then, he covered his mouth with his hand and frowned.
I was nervous. Why did I do this without thinking?
This b*stard seemed to have become mad after judging that I was not showing my fan-behaviour properly.
Even though he was a mean guy, who wouldnât accept anything even if I made it for him.
âIâll make yours next time. I didnât expect to see you today. Besides, I assume you donât like flowers.âŠ.â
ââŠI love them,â mumbled Izek.
(T/N: he said this in a muffled voice, I didnât know how to tl it, so just imagine xD)
âWhat?â
ââŠCough! Itâs not that I hate it.â
What are you talking about?
I guessed that his brain had temporarily stopped working because of his rapidly rising blood sugar.
Alright, next time, Iâd make sure to put a cute wreath on his head.
âHmm, the tea Princess chose has a different flavor.â
âItâs overrated.â
Ignoring the tea in front of him, Sir Ivan, who gulped down the cocoa made for the children and let out slurping noises with his mouth.
Nevertheless, our Ellenia acted gracefully as usual.
I was the only one who couldnât get used to this atmosphere.
âIt looks like a dragon.â
âThatâs true, but the real dragon doesnât have horns.â
The sounds of Leah and Ari, who didnât know anything, peering at the cookies and whispering were very helpful.
The dragon did look similar to the one I met.âŠ.
At that moment, Izek, who seemed to be barely biting into anything, spoke up, âHere.â
I stared at the giant pudding pushed in front of me.
Chocolate pudding topped with cream, beautifully decorated with colorful sugar confectionery.
Was this him telling me to suffer along with him?
Leah left the cookie and stretched her arms to the pudding plate, her mouth slightly open.
She was clearly aiming for this colorful chocolate pudding for a while.
âChocolateâŠâ
âLeah, you want some? I can have another pudding.â
âBut thenâŠ.â
Leahâs eyes twinkled prettily, as if she had been waiting, but trailed off at the end, averting her gaze for some reason.
Hmm? Whatâs wrong?âŠ
