Episode 34

 

Looking at the titles, there were a pile of boring books like <History of Bloodmere>, <Noble Etiquette>, and <World Maps and War History>.

 

It must have been troublesome to bring them, but there didn’t seem to be any need to read them.

 

‘I know far more amazing information than that.’

 

But if I just said I wouldn’t read them, she’d probably start another argument.

 

“I can’t read.”

 

Actually, I could read.

 

Since this was K-fantasy, the language here was Korean too.

 

“What? You don’t even know how to read?”

 

“Yeah, like you said, I’m just a lowly commoner. Who would have taught me to read?”

 

“Really? You can’t even read but your mouth is so clever that you seduced Young Master Docheop?”

 

“Think whatever you want. Sorry you went through the trouble of carrying heavy things all the way here. I’m going to rest now.”

 

I wished she would just leave.

 

My stomach was starting to hurt a little, and my body felt strangely chilly.

 

I wanted to turn on the fireplace warmly and rest.

 

But that was the moment.

 

“Where are you going! If you don’t know, you need to learn to read first!”

 

Geti roughly grabbed and pulled my arm.

 

Her hands were full of strength, probably from all the hard housework she’d been doing.

 

Even if she dragged me like this, I wasn’t going to study or anything.

 

“Ow!”

 

“Stop being such a drama queen.”

 

“No, it really hurts! Let go and then we can talk.”

 

“Only if talking would work! This is really so degrading…!”

 

Geti’s voice cracked.

 

At that moment, she suddenly let go of my arm and roughly pushed my shoulder with her palm.

 

“Then just get out!”

 

“Ugh!”

 

[This crazy woman! Sword Wind!]

 

Junel shouted in an angry voice.

 

Instantly, a strong wind swept through the room, and the wide-open window slammed shut.

 

In that wind, not only Geti but even I, who couldn’t properly brace myself due to stomach pain, lost balance and tumbled to the floor.

 

“Ahhh!”

 

“Ugh!”

 

[Oh! Hallara, I’m sorry. I couldn’t stand that thing’s behavior.]

 

Geti, who had fallen after hitting the wardrobe, gritted her teeth and got up.

 

Her eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and bewilderment.

 

“Ugh, my shoulder! What’s with all this wind blowing around since earlier… Huh.”

 

But her bewilderment grew even more when she looked at me.

 

More precisely, it started when she saw my exposed undergarment.

 

I thought my stomach was just hurting a little, but it wasn’t from overeating—it was that time of the month.

 

My worry about possibly being pregnant was indeed unfounded.

 

“Ugh.”

 

Did menstrual cramps come with it too? My back hurt and my stomach hurt.

 

I wrapped my arms around my throbbing stomach.

 

I should probably send Geti away nicely and rest.

 

“Geti, that’s enough…”

 

“Blood?”

 

Geti’s eyes widened and then her body began trembling like an aspen leaf.

 

‘Is this your first time seeing someone menstruate? You’ll have it too.’

 

It would be nice if she could just tactfully tell me where I could find clothes to change into, but I couldn’t expect that from Geti.

 

“…No. It’s not, it’s not what I did.”

 

Huh?

 

“I didn’t do it!!! You stupidly fell down yourself!”

 

Why is she shouting and making such a fuss?

 

“You did push my shoulder though?”

 

When I answered curtly in my irritation, she shook her head frantically.

 

“N-no, I’m telling you!”

 

“Don’t shout. My stomach hurts… I don’t feel well either.”

 

“Eek!”

 

When I curled up because my stomach hurt, instead of helping, Geti frantically rushed out. She seemed to have been hurt from hitting the wardrobe too, but seeing how quickly she left, she must be fine.

 

“Ugh.”

 

[I’m sorry, Hallara. Are you alright?]

 

Junel’s eyes were full of moisture.

 

“It’s not because I fell, I just don’t feel well. I want to rest a bit.”

 

[Let’s lie down quickly.]

 

Junel tugged at my clothes near my shoulder area. Thanks to that, I could get up without straining my back. I quickly changed clothes and lay down on the bed.

 

I don’t know why she was acting like that, but since Geti left, I should be able to rest comfortably.

 

***

 

After leaving the room, Geti rushed out and hurriedly packed only the valuables from her quarters.

 

“Huff! Huff!”

 

She put strength into her limping leg and ran quickly.

 

What had just happened kept flashing before her eyes.

 

The abundant bloodstains on Hallara’s undergarment.

 

And the way she clutched her stomach and groaned.

 

Hallara was pregnant.

 

But bleeding meant…

 

It was a miscarriage.

 

Bleeding that much in early pregnancy meant.

 

‘No! It wasn’t me!’

 

She had pushed her shoulder. But not enough to make her fall. But suddenly a strong wind blew, causing not only Hallara but herself to fall as well.

 

It was because of the wind.

 

Because of the wind…

 

“It’s unfair…”

 

But who would believe that Hallara miscarried because of the wind?

 

Hallara seemed not to have looked under her skirt yet, but she would notice soon.

 

When that happened, just as she wanted, Hallara would be kicked out of the family since she had no child.

 

At the same time, before long, she too would be caught for the crime of causing Hallara’s miscarriage.

 

Hallara would just be kicked out, but she would be a dead woman.

 

Since she had killed a new descendant of the Bloody Mary Household.

 

‘I have to run away, far away!’

 

Before being caught, Geti had to escape.

 

Far from the family, she had to leave this dominion.

 

It was unfair.

 

Having to leave because of a woman like Hallara was painfully unfair.

 

She probably would never be able to return.

 

“No. No.”

 

It was when she was hurriedly escaping from the annex.

 

“Isn’t that Geti?”

 

“D-Doctor?”

 

In front of the annex, she discovered the family’s physician dressed neatly. It was the physician she had often seen coming and going around the manor since she first started working as a maid.

 

“It’s been a while.”

 

“Yes. It, it has been a while.”

 

Geti answered while anxiously looking around.

 

“But didn’t you go to the main building recently? What brings you to the annex?”

 

He seemed to remember what she had boasted about to the physician who had visited about a month ago.

 

Geti visibly flinched.

 

He looked at her strangely and asked, seeing what was in Geti’s hands.

 

“What’s that luggage?”

 

“Oh, th-that’s because I had some remaining belongings to bring out.”

 

“Ah. I thought you were rushing off somewhere.”

 

“There’s a lot of work piled up at the main building… What about you, Doctor? Where are you going?”

 

Geti changed the subject. There was no reason for the doctor to come to the annex. Even before, she had seen him because Geti, who had always admired the main building, frequently went in and out of it, but she had never met him at the annex.

 

“The madam secretly asked me for something. I don’t have much time. See you next time.”

 

He checked the watch he was holding and greeted Geti.

 

Her relief at his disappearance without much suspicion was short-lived.

 

‘A secret request?’

 

“Doctor. Are you perhaps looking for someone in the annex?”

 

Geti blocked his path.

 

“I can’t tell you that.”

 

“Are you perhaps looking for a pregnant woman in the annex?”

 

The physician was someone who had taken care of the duke and duchess’s health, as well as the young masters’, long before she started working as a maid. There was only one reason for him to go to the annex.

 

Sure enough.

 

“That’s right. How did you know?”

 

At that answer, Geti felt her heart sink. If the physician went in like this, he would immediately notice Hallara’s condition.

 

‘I’m a dead woman!’

 

She couldn’t die like this.

 

“Doctor. I’m in charge of that person!”

 

Geti shouted with a trembling voice.

 

“Really? So that’s why you were coming out of the annex?”

 

“Yes, that’s right. I also received secret orders from the madam, so I couldn’t tell you.”

 

At those words, the physician smiled comfortably.

 

“I see. Haha. Then please guide me. The madam entrusted me with that person’s diagnosis. She said she was pregnant, so I need to check if the baby is healthy and prepare medicine good for morning sickness in advance.”

 

“Ah…”

 

Cold sweat ran down from her head.

 

“I’m curious about who it is that she cares so much about, but she’ll tell me someday. Where is she for now?”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“I don’t have time, so I need to see her quickly and go.”

 

“This way.”

 

Geti pointed toward the direction where the forest was, instead of the annex.

 

“Hm? That’s the direction where the tower is.”

 

“R-right. Actually, she’s over there.”

 

“At the tower?”

 

“Yes. She had been staying at the annex, but you can see the tower from the annex windows. She said she wanted to go play there after seeing it, so she went there.”

 

“Isn’t that a place you can’t just go to carelessly?”

 

“I know… but she said she was too stuffy and really wanted to go, so she went and sprained her ankle.”

 

Being cornered, lies flowed out smoothly.

 

“What? She got injured while pregnant?!”

 

“It’s not serious… I was just coming out to get some simple bandages from the annex.”

 

She pointed to her bundle. Though there weren’t actually any bandages inside.

 

“Let’s hurry! I need to see her condition myself.”

 

“Yes. I’ll guide you.”

 

The physician ran into the forest. Geti ran after him.

 

‘Doctor, why did you appear now! Couldn’t you have come a few days later… This is all because you came now. It’s not my fault. Don’t resent me.’

 

She took out something hard from her bundle where the physician couldn’t see.
