CHAPTER 104

“Your Majesty…”

 

I was surprised by the beautiful form that opened the door.

 

“What brings you here?”

 

Why now, in my bedroom?

 

Cardan glared at me with disapproving eyes as if he could not see my pupils shaking wildly.

 

“I got some medicine that wasn’t available in the villa, but the Duke was wandering around and making her injury worse.”

 

“No.

 

I was trying to argue with my legs up because I felt unfair, but I heard Janet swallowing her breath next to me.

 

“B, blood…”

 

She pointed somewhere with a trembling finger, pale. 

 

“Oh, I’m fine.I guess it was because the stitches were pulled.”

 

While trying to comfort Janet, Cardan came to us.

 

“What do you mean it’s okay?”

 

In an instant, he lifted me up and muttered in a low voice and moved me to bed like a luggage.

 

I peeked to see if Janet might misunderstand, but she squeezed her hands as she followed us with a face that seemed genuinely worried.

 

“Oh, what should I do? Should I get a doctor? Or thread and needle? Anesthetic or alcohol?

 

I hurriedly reassured her before Janet poured the medicine down my throat and offered to sew my wound herself.

 

“I’m really fine!”

 

I couldn’t get out of bed because Cardan had his eyes wide open, but I made up a resolute face with my back leaning on the head of the bed to protect my dignity as a duke as much as possible.

 

However, as soon as I established my dignity, Cardan thrust a straw into my mouth.

 

“Drink some medicine while you’re talking nonsense.”

 

A deep wrinkle formed in the middle of Cardan’s forehead, staring at the bloody cotton cloth.

 

“Ubhh.”

 

I tried to protest urgently, but I decided to quietly sip the medicine at Cardan’s gaze that caught me.

 

Those eyes.

 

“It hasn’t been long since you fell into the lake and got bitten by a dog. 

I was definitely feeling a little chilly, but…….

 

It was urgent for me to talk to Janet before the feelings that she felt when I dramatically rescued her from the dogs died down.

 

It will be much easier to get information if she talks to her benefactor when she still has gratitude.

 

I appeared as if I was a wonderful knight who saved the princess in crisis, asking carefully if she was surprised by last night’s incident and if she was hurt, and if she could investigate this and that.

 

“Huh! Huh, hhh, kkk.”

 

I swallowed the medicine in a hurry and choked.

 

It was a disaster that happened in a flash.

 

The scene of the drug spreading out in all directions, which I couldn’t swallow, unfolded slowly like a slow motion scene in a movie.

 

I ended up praying to God without realizing it.

 

Please, pity this soul so that the drug does not go far.

 

It’s okay for Cardan to be splashed over, so please, just Janet, let her avoid this immersion of medicine.

 

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid all kinds of bizarre accidents, so isn’t this a piece of cake?

 

“Ah…”

 

“Um….”

 

But God didn’t seem to love me that much.

 

However, thanks to Cardan’s role as a human shield, the stain on Janet’s white collar was not significant.

 

If she gets rid of it quickly, she can wipe it off.

 

“Oh, my madam! I’m sorry. 

 

I rubbed Janet’s collar with a blanket I could hold on to.

 

However, the permeability of the quilt made it only worse.

 

“It’s all right, Duke.Seeing you cough, you must have a very strong cold.”

 

Janet moistened her eyes as she pushed me back into bed.

 

“If you suffer from a serious illness because of me…….”

 

As Janet began to tear up, I shook my body and waved my hands.

 

“What do you mean a cold! It’s not it! I just choked.

 

However, Janet shook her head pitifully, biting her lips as if swallowing tears. 

 

“You don’t have to say that you’re a strong person to comfort me for no reason, you don’t have to say that……. 

“……yes. I’ll lie down, lie down.”

 

Cardan, who was dripping in black liquid as he was standing between the two of us in a scuffle, slowly wiped his face with his sleeve.

It would have been funny if it was someone else. 

 

Unlike Cardan’s eerie glittering eyes, as if removing flesh from the bone, the corners of Cardan’s mouth were loosely bent.

 

“I think we agreed to lie down.”

 

I shook my head slightly, but Cardan didn’t even look at my poor protest.

 

“The Duke should close her mouth and close her eyes. 

“Oh, oh, I’m sorry……. 

Unlike his smiling mouth, I could see that Janet was frightened by the terrible pressure.

 

After packing her luggage with her trembling hands, I managed to grab Janet’s sleeve as she was about to leave.

 

“No! It’s been a while since I’ve invited you, but I can’t send you like this!”

 

It’s an opportunity I’ve arranged.

 

I have so many questions.

 

Even now, Janet is looking down at my legs with her eyes overflowing with remorse.

 

Janet was left behind and I signaled Cardan to get out of the way with a gesture and a nod. 

 

 

What are you going to say with your open mouth? But his answer was not surprisingly the worst.

 

“Then I’ll join you.”

 

There was no excuse to stop Cardan, who brought a chair and sat Janet down, and naturally settled down.

 

Cardan, who crossed his legs, gave Janet a chin.

 

“Just keep things simple.”

 

Would it hurt to say things nicely?

 

Fortunately, Janet seemed busy unpacking her luggage.

 

“It’s a healing visit gift.”

 

From small snacks to fruits, blankets, and health foods, I felt like she had brought all kinds of household goods.

 

“No, why did you bring all this?”

 

Janet began to explain one by one, while my mouth was puffed out in bewilderment.

 

Cardan, who was looking at the gifts with his eyes, seemed to have not noticed how enthusiastically she was explaining, and was secretly throwing some away in the trash.

 

“This is a blanket made of wool and it’s very warm. 

I hurriedly picked up the ointment barrel before Janet, who was talking shyly with her cheeks colored, finds the handkerchief in question that had been stuck in the trash can.

 

“I guess you’ve used this ointment before”

 

When did Princess use the ointment that works well for dog bites?

 

But Janet nodded with a big smile as if she was unaware that my question was suspicious.

 

“Yes, it works right away after a few applications.”

 

 

Janet glanced down at my leg. rea d onl y at s a l m o n latte . co m Thi s an noy ing wat er mark is no t th er e.Her wobbly eyes were again stained with guilt.rea d onl y at s a l m o n latte . co m Thi s an noy ing wat er mark is no t th er e.

 

“Of course, I’ve never been bitten as badly as the Duke, but…….”

 

It means she’s been bitten.

 

 

I deliberately turned and poked my injured leg under Janet’s nose.

 

 

 

“Oh my… I don’t think it’s the first time Crown Prince Momad’s hounds have had such an accident. 

 

Janet wriggled her fingers.

 

“My brother has been bothering me with dogs for fun since we were young.”

 

He’s picking on her with his dogs for fun? Contrary to its serious content, Janet’s face was as clear as a whistle.

 

I smiled with envy at her.

 

I had to dig in slowly. 

 

“Haha, Crown Prince Momad must have been a considerable troublemaker when he was young. 

 

Janet lowered her head and I held her hand pretending to be benevolent.

 

“No, the crown prince did the wrong thing, but why is Janet so upset?”

 

“I thought I should’ve warned you in advance…”

 

Janet twitched her lips well.

 

“Actually, I almost drowned when I was young because of my brother.”

 

Without realizing it, I grabbed Janet’s hand strongly.

 

“What do you mean?”

 

 

Perhaps surprised by my grip, Janet answered softly, even with her eyes wide open.

 

“So when I was very young, my brother dropped me in the middle of the palace lake while I was playing in the boat.”

 

For a moment, I couldn’t understand what I heard correctly, so I just stared blankly at Janet.

 

But there was no sign of lies in her expression.

 

“If it weren’t for Peter, I would have died, probably. r ead on ly at sal mon la tt e​​​​​. com This anno ying wa te rmark is n ot th ere.My brother and father were just watching.”r ead on ly at sal mon la tt e​​​​​. com This anno ying wa te rmark is n ot th ere.

 

I still don’t understand.

 

Obviously, Crown Prince Momad and Princess Janet were brothers and sisters, and there was no reason for the two to fall apart.

 

Besides, even the king of Esland just watched his daughter fall into the water.

 

“Who is Peter?”

 

“Ah…”

 

For the first time when I asked, Janet showed signs of discomfort.

 

Janet murmured stealthily, avoiding my eyes.

 

“The knight who was guarding at that time.”

 

Before I could speak, Janet added hastily.

 

 

“He died that day. rea d onl y at s a l m o n latte . co m Thi s an noy ing wat er mark is no t th er e.That knight.”rea d onl y at s a l m o n latte . co m Thi s an noy ing wat er mark is no t th er e.
