Floria, who had greatly improved her mood by breathing in the fresh air outside, tried to climb the stairs by herself to return to her room in the castle. However, Zanarf ignored Floria’s insistence and forcefully carried her up the stairs.
“Um, please put me down. Everyone is watching.”
“What does it matter? Besides, you injured your foot.”
“Huh…?”
Although she didn’t feel any pain, upon closer inspection, she noticed small cuts on her ankles, the tops of her feet, and calves. Perhaps she had scraped against something when she escaped to the deck last night.
“Even small wounds can become infected.”
Zanarf placed Floria on the bed in his bedroom and immediately called for the healer, Kirie.
“But really, if it’s just a small wound like this, it’ll be fine if I wash it.”
“Even from small wounds, one can develop a high fever. It can even lead to death. So, make sure to apply the medicine properly. Kirie, the ointment.”
What on earth? The king of this island, Zanarf, knelt down himself and lifted Floria’s slender foot.
Then, he carefully applied the ointment to each wound, one by one.
The wounds didn’t cause much pain. Instead, it only tickled.
As he spread the ointment gently on the top of her foot as if caressing it, Floria’s abdomen inexplicably grew warm, and a tingly sensation began to spread throughout her body.
Each time Zanarf applied the ointment, her toes would twitch involuntarily in response.
“…This spot also resembles a cherry blossom.”
“What?”
For some reason, he softly pressed and caressed her toenail. Then he moved on to the adjacent index, middle, and ring fingers, touching them one by one as if feeling their shape.
“Mmm…”
Finally, when he meticulously traced the nail of her little toe, unable to endure the ticklish sensation and the inexplicable throbbing, a sound escaped her nose.
Did her toenail also have a wound?
“…Lord Zanarf.”
When Kirie spoke in a severely cold voice, Zanarf awkwardly stood up.
“I’ll leave the rest to you, Kirie.” and he turned to Floria “You’re free to use this room. From now on, this will be your and my room. Aura’s room has been prepared on the same floor as the other maids.”
Leaving those words behind, Zanarf hastily left the room.
