“This is nonsense.”
Klaus said sharply.
I understand.
Even if I were in Klaus’ position, I would think it was nonsense if a child who had collapsed in pain suddenly asked me to go treat his violet disease with him.
But I calmly tried to persuade Klaus.
“I won’t insist if your highness says no. But for some reason, I feel like it would be helpful if I went.”
“You can’t make a decision like that just based on your mood.”
“I can see my stamina turning purple right now.”
Klaus raised an eyebrow.
It’s time! Let’s try to persuade him quickly!
“It’s good to go to get a cure, but it’s not easy to know what the cure is. But since I can see right away whether I’m addicted or not, I can find out more quickly whether the cure is real or not.”
“If I had known so well, I would have checked before I fell.”
“It felt a little strange to see something like this constantly floating over people’s heads, so I made a wish that it wouldn’t be visible….”
I smiled sheepishly.
Klaus narrowed his eyes and sighed again.
“Of course, I know that I’m not in good shape. If you think I’m going to be a big burden, I won’t say more. I don’t want to be a nuisance.”
“then.”
“But for now, I don’t feel much pain. Even though I vomited blood and even collapsed, my body doesn’t hurt. I keep checking just in case, but my physical strength doesn’t seem to be dropping drastically.”
Isn’t it my body?
It is said to be a serious disease, but surprisingly, there is no pain.
I’m concerned about the purple spots that appear here and there on my body, but they really just bother me.
“So, I want to help you if possible. I told you that I was like your good luck charm. It will work out well this time too, right?”
“……Young lady.”
Klaus opened his mouth heavily.
His eyes landed on my wrist.
“Young Ae’s disease is different from the violet disease I used to know.”
“Then it’s better. Isn’t it actually just a cold?”
“The reason we can think of your daughter’s disease as a subspecies of violet disease is because she now has purple spots.”
huh? This on the wrist?
As I rubbed the spot with my hand, Klaus sighed.
“First, I will go to the duke’s house. I will have to find out whether it can be recovered with existing treatments and whether it is highly contagious.”
“yes.”
“I appreciate your desire to help, but it’s not easy to ask a lady like this to serve as a talisman.”
“No, you don’t have to feel that guilty.”
“I wasn’t going to the grave with you at that time. I’m sorry.”
“No, I had some fun too…”
Hey, Klaus?
What you should apologize for was sending me work clothes.
‘The experience of becoming a grave robber was refreshing and not bad… … .’
But Klaus’ expression looked too tired to make such a trivial joke.
“……majesty.”
“Why are you suddenly calling me in such a low voice?”
“You know it’s not your fault, right?”
Klaus smiled briefly at my question.
There was no answer.
Klaus Ertikef led his guards and headed straight to the Sisena duchy.
Since they studied violet disease, they would have medicine for the subspecies as well.
No, it had to be that way.
When Elena Sebes suddenly collapsed, vomiting blood, Klaus almost lost his temper for a moment.
A fear tightened around my throat, as if the terrible times he had experienced before turning back time would begin again.
“……ha.”
Fortunately, Elena came to her senses.
However, purple spots stood out clearly on her skin.
A terrible disease that was highly contagious and caused even those who survived the war to fall into grief, bloomed on his hopes for this life.
“I thought I wouldn’t resort to it, but I did.”
Klaus smiled bitterly as his heart was being squeezed tightly.
Elena’s smiling smile kept appearing vaguely.
A lot has changed since Elena appeared.
I thought her actions had no context, but as a result, Elena’s actions were preventing the empire’s crisis one by one.
One time I thought it was a coincidence.
However, as similar situations kept recurring, I started to think that maybe Elena Seves knew all of this and arranged the situation in advance.
Even if Elena didn’t know about this situation, it seemed like Klaus had already come to trust her quite a bit.
If something went wrong with Elena Sebes, Klaus didn’t have the confidence to protect himself.
On the way to Duke’s House, I heard farmers saying that their crops were failing due to weeds they had never seen before.
It was heartbreaking to hear that even the villagers’ saddam hinted at tragedy.
“……You’re thinking negatively.”
Klaus gritted his teeth.
After sighing briefly, Klaus raised his head again. The Cisena duchy was located in front of his eyes.
“Okay. All I have to do is get some medicine.”
Klaus muttered quietly as if trying to convince himself.
However, upon meeting the duke, Klaus burst into anger.
“It’s a disease you spread. But are you avoiding responsibility?”
“But we already gave you medicine. There is no more medicine!”
“Are you saying that now?”
The duke shook his head at Klaus’ roar.
But just because he was a peacock didn’t mean he had sharp skills.
He studied infectious diseases to rise to power in the empire. He also created the perfect cure for the plague for trade, of course.
But I swear that the duke has not studied any other disease than that one. Of course he didn’t have any medicine.
“Well, we don’t know. If the medicine doesn’t cure it, there’s no guarantee that it’s a disease we created, tick!”
The body of Duke Cisena, who was kneeling, was immediately pulled up.
Klaus grabbed him by the collar.
“It’s a disease you guys created.”
“Well, we didn’t create the disease, we just created a cure for a rare disease…!”
“You guys went against the natural order of things just to gain power. The result is this disease!”
In my previous life, I saw the Cisena Duke family being destroyed at the hands of demons, and the violet disease they had been researching spreading helplessly throughout the world.
At that time, I didn’t even know that the Cissena Duke family had a cure, so I could only wait for destruction.
Since I knew all this in advance, I thought things would be different in this life.
But what kind of absurd situation is this?
“……-haha.”
Klaus laughed helplessly. And he glared at the duke with a cold gaze.
“It was my mistake to not arrest the duke who tried to shake up the discipline of the empire just because I was afraid of chaos in the aristocratic society.”
“majesty!”
“Anyway, during this festival, I gathered a lot of evidence to catch you and throw you in. I can afford to risk the confusion.”
Duke Cisena’s expression turned pale. He shouted with his last struggle.
“You can’t do this. Our Duke family only researched new diseases to protect the empire. You insult it by calling it an act of greed for power!”
“catch.”
“Didn’t you cooperate with everything? Your Highness asked you to provide the medicine, so I provided all the medicine to resolve the misunderstanding! But now you can’t tarnish the duke’s reputation like this!”
“Don’t worry. Didn’t you say you gathered all the evidence?”
Klaus’ cold gaze fell on Duke Cisena.
“I blame you for your ignorance for sloppy management of the Duke’s residence even though you knew I had come.”
“majesty!”
The evidence Klaus gathered while wandering around the duke’s residence with Elena was enough to support the circumstances.
Since there was enough physical evidence, it was easy to capture Sisena and the Duke.
So far, there have been no victims as a result of his research, and he was only ordered to be placed on probation by claiming that he was only continuing to research treatments.
But now things have changed.
There was a victim showing symptoms.
The fact that the target was Elena Sebes made Klaus even more angry.
“Your Highness, please wait a moment!”
Duke Sisena, who was being dragged by Klaus’s guards, shouted.
Klaus looked back with a cold expression.
“I think I know the epicenter of the disease!”
However, after those words, Klaus could no longer pretend to be Taeyeon.
“Is that true?”
“There is someone who told us about the existence of this disease. That’s why we only researched a cure for the disease. We never intended to spread this strange disease!”
“That’s an excuse, who is he?”
Every time Klaus asked a question, a terrifying murderous feeling attacked Duke Cicena.
The old man turned pale and shouted.
“Well, we don’t know his identity either.”
“Take it away.”
“One! He asked us to give him a small room in return for telling us about this disease! If we go there, we will be able to catch him!”
Klaus was silent for a moment.
‘Is it a trap? ‘Is this a lie?’
But I needed to check.
Klaus bit his lip and asked Duke Sisena.
“Tell me the location.”
“Ugh, my body hurts so much.”
Lying in a sick bed continuously was no ordinary hardship.
No, I’m more concerned about the pain in my back from lying down than the pain in my body from being sick.
But if I show even the slightest sign of getting up… … .
“Miss! Lie down!”
How can Belle move when she opens her eyes and follows me?
Oh my, it’s my fault. I wonder if my thighs are being pulled, my waist is being pulled, and my buttocks are getting crushed like this.
“I’ll give you a leg massage, okay?”
“…Okay, but don’t even think about getting off the hospital bed!”
… … Our bell. You are so devoted to your job.
Of course, it is understandable to be worried because a person vomited blood and collapsed and had an incurable disease.
okay. It’s my fault for not knowing I was sick.
“……Ha, I’m so bored as expected. How can you not persuade Klaus to go on an investigation with you……?”
The moment I mutter that.
“Huh?!”
Suddenly my body floated and flew through the air.
“baby……!”
At first glance, I thought I heard Bell’s voice.
But before I could finish listening to the bell calling me, I heard a new voice.
“Young lady?”
“Uh, Your Highness.”
… … Where are we?
