Sunlight streams in behind the dolls displayed on the window shelf. The floor cast shadows as if a puppet show was about to begin.

A small foot stood on top of it.

Chorak-

Camiel, who was watching her draw the curtains, asked.

“Lady. Aren’t you being too dark?”

“What is good about being bright? The brightness of a candle is enough.”

“Anyway… … .”

“Ah, that’s enough. Why don’t you stop nagging and eat some cookies?”

The tone was quite reckless, just like before.

However, there was a difference in their voices and eye movements.

It seemed like he couldn’t change his speaking habit, perhaps because it was his nature, but I could hear the caution in his voice.

Her light brown eyes seemed to be constantly examining Camiel’s expression.

“But. miss. that… There’s one thing I’d like to ask.”

“What?”

“Your father hasn’t decided what to do with me, right?”

“… … .”

Leasian put down the teacup without saying a word and made a slightly sad expression.

Camiel saw that… I felt relieved.

“Thank goodness.”

“What? I haven’t said anything yet?”

“Because I also have a thing called tact. The young lady looks like something bad is about to come out of her mouth at any moment… if. If that were really the case, you wouldn’t have been this comfortable. Right?”

“… … .”

Leasian’s eyes became pale as if it was the correct answer.

She snorts lightly and mutters softly.

“You know me too well.”

“But there is a period of time where you have seen it, right?”

“Heung.”

Soon she “Actually… He said ” and got lucky.

“In conclusion, the incident was handled as if it never happened.”

“Really? That’s really good.”

“What is it? You don’t seem very surprised?”

Kamiel let out an awkward laugh as he saw the young lady’s eyes watching him sharply.

‘Wouldn’t you be angry if I told you I wasn’t too worried?’

It was best not to say anything that would cause anger.

Kamiel had not worried much about the issue since yesterday, when the incident occurred.

If you asked him how he was so calm, Kamiel would answer that he believed in someone’s sincerity.

‘Because I am a stranger, even if I am treated harshly… At least he is sincere towards his daughter.’

Even though Rheasian made such a fuss yesterday, if he insists on sending me away, I have nothing to say.

In the end, it was fortunate that nothing like that happened.

Rheasian pouted and puffed out her cheeks.

“I am always sincere. Only me.”

It was always cute, but now it was rarely cute.

The chubby cheeks had a magical quality that made you gently place your index finger on them.

When I poked and prodded, the swollen cheeks returned to their original state with the sound of air being released.

Leasian narrowed his eyes and asked what he was doing.

“Just… I wanted to give it a try.”

“What? Am I your toy?”

Saying that, Rheasian touched the cheek that he had touched a moment ago.

It was quite a nerve-wracking sight.

Leasian glanced at him and puffed out his cheeks again.

Kamiel pretended not to notice and clapped his hands to lighten the mood.

“Now, shall we just do what we normally do?”

As soon as the words leave her, she lightly holds out her hand.

Kamiel was energized as usual, but a curiosity suddenly arose.

“Is this effective for your health?”

“Huh? What nonsense is that?”

Leasian, who had been enjoying the warmth for a while, looked at him strangely.

“It’s your power, so you should know better.”

“… that is. It’s a shame, but this is my first time treating someone.”

Kamiel couldn’t bear to raise his head.

In the village, everyone was reluctant to treat him, perhaps because he was terminally ill.

Because of this, treating others was close to being impossible.

Leasian asked as if surprised by those words.

“What? Am I the first?”

“Yes… . I still know how to do it, but I’ve never actually used it on anyone… .”

Ah, but I have used my innate vitality before.

This is a slightly different case.

anyway. The fact that this was my first time using it on a living thing remained unchanged.

“To begin with, everyone in our clan was healthy enough to live long lives and not suffer from minor illnesses. So I have no choice but to have nothing to write about.”

“So… I’ve never treated anyone else before, and this is my first time, right?”

“Yes? yes. But, does that matter? Oh, after all, I’ve never treated anyone before… ”

“What are you talking about! That’s why it’s better!”

“Yes?”

It was an incomprehensible sound.

As Kamiel tilted his head, Leasian, who belatedly thought over his words, hesitated.

“Ah, anyway. Hmm, so. Did you ask if it would ever recover?”

“Yes.”

“It’s such an obvious question. If it weren’t for that, I would have obediently held onto your hand since our first meeting… It’s a little strange to put it this way. I wouldn’t have been receiving your treatment.”

“Is that so? Thank goodness.”

Kamiel smiled with sincerity in his eyes.

“Lady. We’ll leave it as is for today, but starting tomorrow, we’ll explore ways to treat your symptoms. There are no differences of opinion, right?”

“Huh? ah… That’s how it should be.”

This time was so enjoyable that I forgot about it.

Leasian looked with determination in his eyes.

Kamiel made eye contact with her.

The expression on his face was still smiling, but it was difficult to detect the slight fear contained therein.

A quiet study.

Lepuren, who had just sent a letter to his sister, leaned back in his chair.

For now, I was just sending it off to pretend that the last incident never happened.

Originally, he was wondering what to do with this. I was able to make a decision after listening to Ilho, the butler.

Ilho, who met Lepureun after what happened last night, said:

“Sending Kamiel to Lumina may have an impact on the young lady.”

“Continue.”

“No matter how voluntarily the lady left the room, it was only this one time. Of course, you may have really overcome that aspect. If you think about why the young lady came out, you may never want to leave the room again when Kamiel disappears.”

“For you, Kamiel is your spiritual support. For now, that is.”

“… then. What should I do?”

“I think it’s best for Kamiel to be here, but… The decision will be up to the owner. I am just a deacon.”

“Having said all that… In the end, they say it’s just a deacon’s word so you can figure it out.”

Lepurun has often received advice from Ilho.

Most of the advice was about Rheasian.

It was very difficult for him, who was not good at emotions, to deal with his daughter.

In that respect, Ilho was the perfect advisor.

Ilho smiled without replying.

Lepuren squeezed the area between his eyes to relieve the accumulated fatigue.

Although I have a body that doesn’t feel tired to a large extent, it’s enough to destroy even that level of health.

It’s probably because I’m overdoing things these days.

“I think you should rest now. You look very tired”

“No matter how good your body is, reading that many books and finding what you need are two different things.”

“Have you had any results?”

“For now, the best way is to kill him and save Rheasian. I heard that getting rid of that guy could have an adverse effect on Rheasian… I’m putting it on hold for now and looking for someone else though.”

“How did your conversation with Lumina go?”

Lepuren frowned slightly.

“It’s okay. So it’s a very difficult situation. Because I know very well that if I just ask them to listen, they won’t listen. There will be some kind of deal going on.”

“Master, it would be more convenient that way.”

“Okay… . Because it’s better not to take on unnecessary debt.”

Bang bang.

Lepurn furrowed his eyebrows at the sound that came out of nowhere.

‘Has there already been a reply?’

Ilho went to the window and opened the closed door, and then a letter flew in on the wind.

Ilho snatched the letter and held it out to Lepurn.

As Lepurun unsealed the letter and scanned its contents, the emotions gradually disappeared from his face.

Ilho, who sensed that something unusual had happened, stood still.

“Huh… They say Ruanel will be here… .”

“If it’s Ruanel… Aren’t you Lumina’s daughter? How did he… .”

“No details are written, but they ask that they be allowed to stay here for a while.”

There was no reason for Lepurn to grant this favor.

There is no way Lumina would not know this.

“No way… Did you say you would at least help treat the young lady?”

“Okay… . Unfortunately, it says that.”

Contrary to what he said, Lepuren’s expression was extremely cold.

Normally, I would have sent a rejection, but the conditions were the problem.

It’s a complicated method, but there’s still something to be done.

In many ways, it was good to find as many ways as possible.

Therefore, Lepuren could not refuse this request.

The sigh that came out of his mouth was deep.

“Hmm… Is this here?”

Gray-white wings were fluttering behind the black-haired girl.

She caught her eye on a mansion.

It was a mansion with an impressive blue roof.

“Over there… That guy exists?”

An expression of subtle anticipation appeared on his face.

If my mother said so, he should be in there.

‘Wait just a moment. ‘I’ll be there to see you soon.’

With anticipation that she could not hide, she lightly stepped on the ground.

Now, all that remains is to go into the mansion and meet him.
