Chapter 60

* * *

After finishing my conversation with Lisian.

I was about to return to my room and wait until the grand conference began, but I changed my destination after hearing unexpected news from the Assistant Butler.

“Miss. You should put on a cloak.”

Adel, who had stopped for a moment, hurriedly wrapped a fur cloak around me.

“There’s no wind coming in here though?”

“Still.”

I thought it was overprotective, but I felt good knowing that Adel cared for me that much.

I turned my gaze away from Adel, who was looking to see if there was anything else to wrap around me, and spoke.

“Adel.”

“Yes, Miss?”

“Since entering the Main Castle, have you ever seen such a scene?”

Adel shifted her gaze to where my eyes were directed.

And she answered with a voice full of certainty.

“No, Miss Tulia. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a sight in my life.”

“I thought so, right?”

Even Adel, who had always been calm and warm since becoming my Head Maid, was looking ahead with a somewhat disgusted expression.

I lightly raised my eyebrows.

“Who would have known such chaos would break out in the great Grand Ducal House’s Main Castle.”

I never would have imagined I’d be witnessing it in real time.

I reflexively tried to cross my arms, but realized both my arms weren’t fully healed yet and obediently lowered them.

“Miss. Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

Adel supported me.

She caught a servant who was trying to quickly pass by us and asked them to bring a chair.

“Please sit down.”

“In the corridor?”

“What does it matter.”

“Well, my health is the most important thing.”

Adel let out a light laugh.

“Of course.”

I laughed along with her and then turned my gaze forward again.

‘This really feels like watching a movie.’

Of course, what was unfolding before my eyes wasn’t a screen with credits rolling, but the front of someone’s bedroom.

The Main Castle was quite impressive in scale.

Just the corridor alone was spacious enough to move a six-person bed without tilting it.

Dark-colored carpet was laid on the floor, achieving both warmth and a luxurious atmosphere at once.

This place, decorated with an interior similar to a modern luxury hotel at first glance.

Was right in front of Leon Frazier’s bedroom.

“Amazingly noisy.”

I muttered lightly.

It was noise that would normally be absolutely unimaginable.

Servants, especially servants of high-ranking Noble Families, are educated starting from their footsteps when they enter service.

To be nimble and light.

To make almost no sound.

To move quickly but not run unless it’s urgent.

To not be frivolous.

‘Looking at it this way, it seems similar to the Movement Technique that nobles learn.’

Well, nobles think the world surrounding them must be noble to match their ‘status.’

The more vulgarly the castle’s maids and servants behave, the more it means they’re from a family without standing.

Is that why?

The servants of the Main Castle were always perfect.

They were courteous, polite, and yet busy handling their respective assigned tasks.

Thanks to this, unless there was a major trouble, this corner of the Main Castle was so quiet and peaceful that you could count the golden dust motes in the air.

“How could you turn my son into such a half-cripple!”

“Even if he is the young master of a Marquis House, you went too far!”

“Our child can’t walk now and has gone half-mad!”

It’s a marketplace.

A marketplace.

‘He must have gotten beaten up pretty badly that day.’

Honestly, I couldn’t see many things with my own eyes.

When my own body had several arrowheads piercing through it and I felt like I was dying from pain, would I have noticed whether those bastards who got beaten by Leon Frazier lived or died?

Of course, from their parents’ perspective, it would be like a bolt from the blue that could overturn heaven and earth.

“Miss. It wouldn’t be good for you to stay here any longer.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

The trio of Adel, the Assistant Butler, and the Personal Physician were cleverly shielding my body.

The nobles were also frantically demanding immediate apologies and explanations from Leon Frazier.

But if they happened to look my way, they would definitely come running over to confront me.

‘This seems crazy. Right, I shouldn’t get caught up in this.’

Still, since he got into that state protecting me, I wanted to at least see his face to check his condition.

I cast a contemptuous look at the nobles who were still loudly protesting.

The sight of them shouting at Leon Frazier, calling him violent and demanding an apology, was ridiculous.

‘Do they know but pretend not to know that their sons shot arrows at me first and enjoyed it?’

Or do they really not know.

Whether it’s the former or the latter, I won’t let it slide either.

First, I’ll deal with the grand conference that will be held soon.

* * *

My resolute determination was momentary.

“Miss. Before going to the grand conference room, you must drink one more bowl of herbal medicine, no, two more bowls.”

Before I could deal with the grand conference, I was about to be dealt with first.

As soon as I returned to my room, I had to deal with the anxious Personal Physician.

“…I’m not dizzy anymore. And we don’t have time, right?”

“I’ve already prepared it all…”

“…”

‘Ugh, bitter.’

Still, when I gulped it down, the Personal Physician let out a sigh of relief.

It was because I had felt severe dizziness in front of my room just fifteen minutes ago.

I didn’t know how pale I had become, but the three of them were so upset.

“It’s fortunate that the medicinal materials you have, Miss, are the highest grade among the highest grades that even the Imperial Palace would have difficulty obtaining.”

“Didn’t you sell them all to young master Leon Frazier that day, Miss?”

“I set aside a few for emergencies just in case.”

My eyebrows twitched at the Personal Physician’s words.

But Adel and the Assistant Butler only continued to heap praise on me, saying I was truly wise.

‘Oh my.’

“Miss. Can you move?”

“I’m fine. I just swayed for a moment.”

“Still. I was really startled.”

Speaking with a serious face, Adel wiped my forehead and cheeks.

“Still, compared to Leon Frazier, it’s nothing. He fainted completely and can’t even get up.”

“Young Master Leon has a stronger body than you, Miss.”

“That’s right. You two have different stamina levels from the start.”

“Since Miss Tulia is more delicate, we must take better care of you. And since you sold those medicinal herbs to the young master, he’ll recover quickly with just one or two more days of nourishment.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the words of the three who worried about my well-being with such favoritism.

Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

Is it just my imagination?

‘It seems like I’m acquiring coins much faster than when I was recovering from a cold last time.’

Perhaps the more Tulia recovers after being seriously injured, the faster coins are acquired?

I thought about checking my status window, but seeing the three of them seriously discussing while looking at me, that desire quickly faded.

‘I’ll check later.’

My body already felt as heavy as waterlogged cotton anyway.

Adel personally fed me rice porridge made by grinding nuts and boiling them thoroughly with grains, spoonful by spoonful.

When I had barely finished half the bowl.

Knock knock.

“Miss Tulia. I’ve come to escort you.”

Lisian’s knight came personally to fetch me.

“To the Grand Conference Room, right?”

“Yes, Miss.”

I immediately stood up from my seat.

Adel and the Assistant Butler hurriedly supported me, and the personal physician handed me another bitter herbal medicine, saying it was a tonic to boost my energy even briefly.

I really didn’t want to drink it.

But right now was just before entering the battlefield.

I squeezed my eyes shut and downed the herbal medicine in one shot.

“Good.”

Let’s go.

Lisian sending a knight was truly excellent consideration.

“This is so unfair!”

“Our son has suffered permanent disability, Viscount Lilius!”

“His wrist ligament is torn, his wrist ligament! Our precious, poor son has been told he’ll never be able to wield a sword or bow again for the rest of his life!”

“Count Nigela Frazier! Isn’t this excessive violence based on social status!”

‘Wow, it’s really noisy.’

Shouts and anger explode like mad.

This place was exactly 100 times noisier than in front of Leon Frazier’s bedroom.

It was in front of the Grand Conference Room.
