Damian sighed. But his body didn’t move. He couldn’t help it. Because this is a dream. He was already having a strange and vivid dream for the third time, as if he was recalling his past life.
The first dream he had in which he realized how humble he was as the illegitimate son of Duke Kapento. The second was a dream of becoming a member of Stigmata. This strange group couldn’t even be compared to ordinary underworld organizations, such as the Vincent family, and injecting white magic into his body. But this third dream was much stranger than the previous dreams.
“Are you Damian West?”
Theresa appeared, wearing a fancy school uniform that seemed to tell anyone she was a noble. She was a student at his school and his classmate. She was also the director of the scholarship foundation that sponsored him.
She seems to be the same person as Madam Raven, but somehow she looks completely different.
Theresa was truly a b*tch. She is an insane woman paired with Princess Mimosa Bruni, who claims to follow him. Damian loathed her.
“I heard that commoner wizards often behave rudely without even knowing the subject. Shouldn’t you show more tribute to me as your master, Damian?”
No matter how he looked at it, this woman wasn’t like Madam Raven. Although Madam Raven was also a noble, she differed from other nobles. There were times when her etiquette was so messed up that it surprised him, and sometimes her ideas seemed too radical. She seemed cold and scary, but she was a warm person. That’s Madam Raven.
“…Ha.”
Damian woke up from his dream in an unpleasant mood. He always felt filthy after having this strange dream. Even his real personality felt greatly affected.
What on earth is this dream?
He turned his head and found a woman who fell asleep with a pale face. It was the real Theresa, not the fake one in the dream. The moment he realized that face, the discomfort that had been penetrating his mind subsided, and his eyes softened.
“…Her fever is still here.”
Theresa had been suffering from a severe high fever for several days. Fortunately, there was a doctor on board, and she was able to overcome the crisis, but he still couldn’t be relieved. He cared for Theresa with utmost sincerity.
“Madam, can you open your lips?”
It was natural that she had no appetite because she was sick, but Theresa wasn’t eating much at all. Even if he tried stimulating her appetite with sweet snacks or savory-smelling porridge, she didn’t show much interest, so he was forcing her to eat something now.
Also, Theresa seemed to be irritated by everything. At one point, she regained her senses. She uttered very pessimistic words in a hoarse voice, saying, “I’m going to die anyway, so just leave me alone.”
“Madam?”
It was time to give her the medicine, but she was lying there, half asleep. He tried to give it to her with a spoon several times, but it was no avail. In the end, he put the medicine in his mouth, overlapping their lips together, which he had been doing for the past few days. When the medicine poured into her mouth, Theresa frowned and forced herself to swallow it.
Damian parted his lips and sighed like a habit. His heart pounded frantically with sweet excitement and tingled with guilt. No matter how much he did it, he couldn’t get used to this behavior. He forced himself to deny this situation.
I hate this person. However, it was true that he had been indebted as a child, so he intended to help just that much. He definitely thinks so. But when he came to his senses, he found himself next to Theresa, staring at her endlessly.
Even though Theresa seemed to be getting better, her condition suddenly worsened overnight. Each time, Damian went back and forth between heaven and hell.
I’ll have to keep her from going outside from now on. No, he had to hide the fact that he recognized this madam in the first place. He had to completely break off their relationship and treat her like a stranger. She was too noble to be entangled with his mess.
“I was wrong.”
Damian was overcome with helplessness.
“Please wake up, Madam…”
He felt like he had returned to Damian, the orphanage student who quickly became cynical because he couldn’t overcome his misfortune on his own.
* * *
While Damian was away for a moment to call a doctor, Ozworld appeared. He took off one of his black gloves and put it on Theresa’s forehead. Her fever was boiling.
BJ’s illness sometimes became a good topic for provocative content. Just like right now, Damian is falling apart day by day and going crazy.
Ozworld quietly looked at Theresa sitting on the bed and letting out a hot breath. “Human body is so weak without any strengthening.”
Theresa was ridiculously weak compared to other BJs. She was just an ordinary human being who knew how to use magic, so he wondered if it was natural for her.
“Master.”
David appeared next to Ozworld. He was briefly distracted by Theresa lying on the bed but returned his gaze in no time.
Don’t mix personal feelings with work. No matter how pitiful that woman may seem, he shouldn’t show personal interest. That was the rule set by Ozworld.
“Do you want to roll back the data to the checkpoint before the last system error?”
There was an accident in which no less than six years were skipped. It was a training simulation dungeon where quests had to be completed within a set time, so it was quite a big deal. Even if Ozworld was irresponsible and said that it was also fate to live as is, this time, he was concerned about whether to load the backup data. This was because he had become curious about Theresa.
“It’s okay not to roll back. Let’s continue as it is.”
Ozworld became curious about what choice Theresa would make in the future.
In a situation where the story gets twisted, Theresa makes the choice to go to Damian and apologize. Then, the development that he thought was ruined got back on track. Damian was confused, feeling strong love and hatred for Theresa.
Ozworld held Theresa in his arms and gave her medicine. “This is the medicine I got from Jyang.”
Although the constellations liked Damian’s care, they were kissing too often. That was difficult.
“The male protagonist hasn’t been decided yet, so we have to be careful.”
After Ozworld finished giving her the medicine, he kissed Theresa on the cheek before leaving the place.
Creek. Damian came into the room. The moment the two people’s eyes met in the air, Damian tried to cut Ozworld’s neck with a sharp blast of wind. He wasn’t even curious about Ozworld’s identity. Because he was going to die anyway.
At that time, Ozworld hit the floor with his cane. Tak! Time stopped, and Damian’s magic scattered and disappeared in the air. Damian also froze as he stopped at the door.
Ozworld clicked his tongue. “I played the advertisement but forgot to stop the time.”
He had never made a mistake like this before. It was a strange thing. Meanwhile, David erased Damian’s memory so that he would forget what he had just seen.
“I’ll have to go now.”
After Ozworld left.
“…Gasp!”
Damian, freed from the bonds of time, clutched his chest. His heart was pounding as if it would burst through. He felt like he was going crazy. Incomprehensible anger, jealousy, and desire to kill were twisting and destroying his insides, but there was no target.
He ran to Theresa and checked to see if she was okay. He felt strangely anxious, as if he was going to go crazy.
“I’m going in, Lord Damian.”
Damian was awakened by the doctor’s voice calling him outside.
“Come in.”
The doctor checked Theresa’s condition and said, “Her fever has gone down though? It looks like you were very worried and reacted sensitively to even a mild fever.”
That couldn’t have been possible. When he checked Theresa’s condition earlier, he noticed that her fever was no different from yesterday.
“I’m glad your wife is okay. It seems God was moved by your sincerity as her husband and cared for her.”
“…”
It was certainly a relief, but strangely, his mood sank to the worst.
* * *
I briefly expressed my feelings of barely being stuck in this world while wandering through the dead. “Urgh, it’s so stuffy.” As I stretched out, a loud popping sound came from my body.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Broadcast Genius Theresa’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Resurrected like a dog.]
I can’t say my condition is perfect yet, but at this point, I can say I have fully recovered. Therefore, I took a refreshing shower first. My whole body felt uncomfortable because I couldn’t wash properly.
As I came out wearing my gown, I saw Damian, who had brought me a meal. “Uh, Damian.”
The bad atmosphere I had with him before I fell seriously ill had been forgotten in the back of my head.
“I was hungry, but it worked out well. Let’s eat together.”
I sat on the sofa to open a pot of stew that smelled delicious and found Damian with his eyes tightly closed.
“Put your clothes on.”
“But I’m wearing a gown though?”
“Gowns are not clothes.”
Aren’t pajamas and shower gowns almost the same pieces that cover your body?
I’m in my room anyway, so I can stay comfortable. However, I might have been dressed in a way that might have offended Damian, so I changed into a new pair of pajamas.
“I’m all dressed. You can open your eyes.”
Even though I was fully dressed, Damian couldn’t even look at me and just looked out the window. It’s really unusual…
Just do as you please. I paid no care to him and started eating the food Damian brought.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Loudmouth’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[He’s blushing as if it’s his first time seeing her wearing a gown, even though he overlapped their lips together like that~ ㅎ.]
“Cough! Cough, cough!”
When I saw the contents of the sponsorship, a vague memory came to mind. Right. He gave me medicine with his mouth, didn’t he?
“…”
“…”
A very uncomfortable and awkward silence fell for a moment. It was Damian who opened his mouth first.
“I’m sorry.”
“…Yes?”
“Madam was sick because of me. And for kissing without permi—”
“Wait!” I cut off in a hurry with a look of bewilderment. “First of all, it was my fault that I was sick, and it had nothing to do with you. Rather, thank you for taking care of me. There was no need for that. And… lips… that…”
A clear line had to be drawn to the somewhat awkward actions to describe as kissing.
“It was just a medical procedure. So you don’t have to worry.”
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘King of Iron Wall Theresa’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[You’re convincing something that doesn’t even work.]
I said this out of consideration so as not to bother Damian as much as possible. But Damian had a somewhat dejected expression on his face.
“Medical procedure…” He murmured my words, then suddenly approached me with a piercing stare.
“…Damian?”
It wasn’t an angry face. It felt more intimate than that…
Tear— At that time, Damian suddenly tore open the medicine bag. He poured the powdered medicine into a glass of water. I watched blankly as the powder dissolved in the water.
What is happening now?
Damian asked, holding a glass of water. “Would you like to get a medical procedure one more time?”
Damian sighed. But his body didn’t move. He couldn’t help it. Because this is a dream. He was already having a strange and vivid dream for the third time, as if he was recalling his past life.
The first dream he had in which he realized how humble he was as the illegitimate son of Duke Kapento. The second was a dream of becoming a member of Stigmata.
