The smile on Yelena’s face gradually disappeared as the examination progressed.
By the time she was down to her underwear to check for trauma, Yelena barely moved her lips.
“Miss, could you please wait a moment? I need to speak with my Lady.”
Winter raised one eyebrow and went out with Yelena.
what is it
She quickly put my ear to the door.
Well, I can’t hear it either.
Have I ever had a serious illness?
I actually ate much better at the snake’s den than when I was at the count. So I got fat.
I took my ears off the door and looked at my reflection in the mirror.
Her purple hair with a hint of blue, eyes like royal blue. were just as described in the novel.
Even the slightest touch on her skin felt soft.
I let out a short moan and a groan.
More than anything else, she had a fever and her blank expression bothered her.
I rubbed my eyes to wake up.
The me in the mirror was glaring at me with a lot of strength on my forehead.
“… … .”
there’s a bit of a resemblance to her older sister, who was told she was ridiculously beautiful if you picked her apart.
The gently drooping corners of her eyes were the decisive difference, and her nose and jawline seemed to be painted with the same brush.
Still, the impression of sickness was so strong that it drowned out all her good qualities.
What was Kivrin thinking when I said I was prettier than the scenery outside?
Maybe it’s been a while since I got the sun and my vision was blur?
Embarrassed, I quietly sat down on the sofa.
Soon the door opened and Winter entered before Yelena.
“… … .”
Winter opened and closed her lips as she looked at me.
The longer Winter stared at me, the heavier the air in the room.
It was an ominous sign.
I wondered if he really wasn’t going to take me, but then she sighed.
“You’ll have to get a proper nanny, like Viscount Rose, as difficult as that will be.”
“… … .”
Even Winter seemed to have noticed that I was watching her.
Winter said after a little hesitation.
“That… … I’m sorry. I’m out of my mind.”
“… … .”
She was a mother-in-law that was really difficult to understand.
I thought I was lucky even if I didn’t get kicked out, so I was rather embarrassed when I heard the apology.
Winter shook her head to clear her thoughts.
“No, no excuses. Now you are my business, and I have to take care of you.”
“… … .”
I didn’t understand it right away.
I’d just been sold to a duke?
Did the temple have a hand in buying me outright?
Ugh, my head was so hot that I couldn’t keep thinking for a long time.
Winter bent her knees and came out at eye level.
“It won’t be too late to talk about complicated things later. If you keep going like this, you may die within this year.”
“lady!”
Yelena was terrified.
I shook my head to signify that I understood.
My condition was so bad. it’s ruined
I felt sorry for Cheria, the girl from I Don’t Like Wicked Girls who somehow managed to survive to the age of seventeen.
Ah, I should have watched the ending and possessed it.
Not only did <Wicked Girls Don’t Like Money> take place over the course of a year, but it was only in the last episode that the grown-up Cheria appeared.
The only thing I knew about 17-year-old Cheria was that she had been told that she resembled her older sister Maria and that she was beautiful, but that she was called beautiful,but she never looked happy.
“Maybe the Count gave her poison instead of food?”
Winter muttered softly.
“It’s not… … .”
“It means you haven’t even eaten it.”
Winter made a sad face.
Yelena was about to cry.
“Madam, please speak softly. She looks scared.”
“Hmm.”
“… … .”
Winter’s eyes narrowed.
“I don’t think she’ll make it all the way to the Duchy.”
My shoulders were stiff.
I think you’re going to leave me alone.
I said quickly.
“I can stand it!”
Winter pressed a finger to my nose without pain.
“Wait. I am still thinking about what to do.”
“… … .”
I remained motionless with my nose pressed against Winter’s finger.
Winter didn’t speak until I was impatient and about to open my mouth again.
“Three days. Menelik should be able to buy you that much time. Yelena, you will be in charge of Cheria until Viscount Rose arrives.”
Yelena answered cautiously.
“I’ll have to feed Lady Cheria five meals a day for at least a month to get her back to her normal weight, but……. But do you really think Viscount Rose will come back? He’ll put pressure on the temple again.”
“… … .”
Winter raised an eyebrow.
Yelena forcibly coughed and saved herself.
“Hmph, hmph. That’s for the lady to deal with! I’ll just think about my little girl.”
The temple had already told me to leave, and now they’re extending the schedule because of me?
Even as my fever was rising, my first thought was that this was not right.
I didn’t want to be a nuisance.
“Look, you don’t have to worry about that, I’m just grateful that you’re taking me there…….”
“Come to think of it, you must still be hungry, so let’s go to the dining room.”
Winter cut me off at the hip and stood up.
Yelena quickly packed her bags.
“Oh, I’ll meet Lady and come with you. I promised I’d be the first to let you know how she’s doing, and it would be good to know what kind of food she likes.”
“…….”
I’ve just been completely ignored, haven’t I?
……I’m getting worried.
I picked up a dress and put it on without a hitch.
Winter put a hand under my armpit and hugged me.
I don’t even know why I feel so happy.
“I remember when Kivrin was six years old.”
“… … .”
Winter lifted the ten-year-old me higher as if it wasn’t heavy at all.
“He weighed just as much as you do now.”
This time, Winter embraced me and headed to the dining room.
“I can walk alone.”
Of course, Winter didn’t listen.
Winter sat me in a chair, and she sat across from me.
Winter’s blue eyes were fixed on me all the time whether food came out or not.
My face was burning unnecessarily, and I didn’t know what to do, but then Kivrin arrived.
“Cheria!”
“I’m fine—”
“Hey, you can’t go to heaven!”
“… … .”
Kivrin spoke up
What do you mean, heaven?
Why do things seem to be getting worse……?
I glanced at Yelena in disbelief.
Apparently the one who had told Winter to be gentle had reported to Kivrin that I was on the verge of leaving for the afterlife.
Yelena laughed awkwardly, haha.
“Well, well, well, He had already heard about it…….”
Winter was drinking her coffee comfortably, with a look that said she knew it.
I tilted my head in disbelief.
No way. How did he hear that?
Surely Kivrin would have gone back to his room without following us?
Even if we hid in the corridor, passersby would have spotted us.
It was impossible to try to sneak in and eavesdrop like I did.
How good does one’s hearing have to be to hear that?
Kivrin, the source of my suspicions, was busy pushing the food in front of him towards me.
“Please, have some of mine.”
“Sorry, miss. You can have mine too.”
Yelena joined in.
“…….”
In front of me, a meat dish in a mildly spicy sauce, a steak with vegetables, and grilled trout were placed.
Was he asking me to eat three plates now?
“I can’t eat all this.”
Then, in unison, the two men cheered generously.
“Cheria, you can do it!” they said in unison.
“You can eat as much as you can!”
“…….”
Winter didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping them either, so I picked up my spoon with a small sigh.
I took the first bite of plain soup, and the warm, savory flavour spread through my mouth.
It was certainly a far cry from the sloppy food I’d made in the snake den.
“Wow, this is delicious…….”
I said out loud, and Yelena eagerly agreed.
“It’s delicious, isn’t it? You’ll love the steak.”
She came over and sliced the steak for me as if we were siblings.
I took it and quickly became full.
“I can’t eat anymore.”
I ate as best I could, but most of the steak remained.
With a weak stomach, she couldn’t keep much food down.
Still, Yelena complimented me as if that was half the battle.
“You did very well, young lady. You just need to increase your meals slowly.”
“More?”
That seems impossible to me.
