Chapter 114

I was trying to organize my thoughts on how to accept the situation unfolding before my eyes.

‘…Presence.’

Not one, but two.

Thanks to that, I had to quickly hide my body inside the bed without even being able to confirm the visitor’s face.

I was in a state of having taken off my top, so I couldn’t do this or that when the door opened.

Click.

“Heave-ho.”

After the sound of placing a heavy object next to the door. A cheerful laugh flowed from close by.

“Thank you, Knight. Thanks to you, I was able to move my luggage easily.”

“Haha. Not at all. If you need help in the future, please call on me anytime.”

“Would that be alright?”

“Ah, my name is…”

“Yes, I understand. I’ll come find you if I have business later.”

Bang.

The door closed.

I wondered who it was, but the moment I confirmed the face that suddenly thrust itself in front of me, my curiosity evaporated as well.

“Hello, darling.”

Mm, yes. The only being so heartless in this world is Morian, no, Lu.

A face smiling gently like a spring breeze carefully examined my features. Then coldly spat out a single sentence like frost.

“Was collapsing so blatantly in front of my eyes intended to mess with me? If so, congratulations. It worked very well.”

What is she talking about.

At least I could tell that Lu’s mood was very poor. She must have been continuously worried since I fainted in such a bad state.

“…Were you perhaps worried?”

“…”

“I didn’t intend to startle you. Honestly, I didn’t expect to collapse like that either…”

“I know it wasn’t intentional.”

Lu, who trailed off in a hoarse voice, stroked my head.

She could have said something, but seeing Lu just moving her fingers silently made me feel strange.

I’m happy to reunite earlier than expected, but… to show such a weak side. My luck was bad.

Lu, who had straightened her bent waist, handed me a water glass.

“Wet your throat a bit.”

“Later.”

“Ah, later?”

Lu, with her mouth full of water, spoke to me with her eyes. Telling me to drink properly if I didn’t want to drink the water she was holding in her mouth.

Lu, you’re too eccentric. After drinking the water Lu tilted the glass to pour into my mouth, I gestured toward the bags placed near the door.

“What are those?”

“My luggage. Women have a lot of luggage.”

Does this mean we’ll be staying together in this bedroom? No, well, Morian is a woman, but…

‘Still, seeing that a knight personally moved her luggage, it seems she got Raphael’s permission.’

Morian’s status is the former Weatherwax Viscount’s wife. She’s already acquainted with Raphael, and since I, a family member, fainted, she’ll stay under the pretext of being a guardian.

“So despite being a married woman, you seduced a promising knight?”

“Seduced? My, Daisy. To talk about seduction just from giving a few smiles. How do you plan to get along with me from now on.”

“So you admit you smiled with impure intentions?”

“Well, there’s no need for me to carry heavy things with my own hands.”

Hearing the usual powerless, insincere, and cheeky words gradually calmed my anxious heart. I also had a question I wanted to get an answer to from him.

‘Lu should be able to diagnose the cause of the wounds on my body more accurately.’

Though it’s a bit uncomfortable having to show my bare back.

But it’s him, not someone else.

“Hey, Lu.”

The beautiful woman who was organizing her bonnet looked back at me.

“There’s something I want to show you. I think there’s a problem with my body, but I can’t judge it alone, so I think I’ll need your advice.”

He threw down his bonnet without hesitation and came back to me.

“Tell me.”

“Close your eyes for a moment. Then open them again after 5 seconds.”

While Lu closed his eyes, I hurriedly sat up. After awkwardly showing my back, I asked him while covering only my front upper body with bedding.

“Can you see? These are wounds that weren’t on my body until before I collapsed. It seems like wounds from my time as Andert are appearing on this body.”

Since it was the season it was, I got slight goosebumps from exposing my bare skin outside.

But no matter how long I waited, Lu’s answer didn’t come.

“Lu? Did you hear me?”

When I turned my head with the question, he was no longer in Morian’s appearance but in the form of Lu that I knew.

The view that had risen high enough to block the sunset light made me crane my neck.

I rarely feel pressure from someone’s height. But as always, today Lu was an exception. Is it because of the presence that a demigod exudes?

Lu carefully examined my back while maintaining a distance that was neither close nor far.

‘He’s looking for quite a while.’

I was also becoming cautious while waiting, so I sat quietly with my head turned. So that he could examine my physical condition more closely.

“…You said these wounds appeared right after you collapsed?”

“Ah, yes. You can look more closely if you want.”

Lu, who let out a small sigh, slowly pressed both his eyelids and answered.

“That’s enough, get dressed.”

I put back on the clothes I had half taken off while Lu turned around.

“First… you collapsed because of internal bleeding. But since I treated this part, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

Ah, so my physical condition was fine because Lu had treated me after all.

‘But he managed not to notice these wounds.’

They would have been visible right away if he had just lowered the fabric a little. It meant he hadn’t touched even a hair beyond the minimum skinship necessary for treatment.

“Isn’t treating internal bleeding all at once high-level magic? Is it okay to use it so easily? What about balance?”

“Unfortunately, my balance doesn’t crumble from mere healing magic.”

“Then if I came with a severed arm, could you reattach it?”

“Ah, of course. If you offer your lifespan as payment.”

What. Doesn’t the price suddenly feel too high.

“…What’s the difference? Difficulty level?”

“No, the difference between whether I like it or not. Are you done dressing?”

“Yes.”

Lu, who strode toward the luggage bags, pulled out a winter cardigan from among the piled clothes and handed it to me.

Does he want me to wear it? I asked while receiving the garment.

“Lu, did something happen in Loqwe by any chance?”

“Even if something did, the Kalerpa would handle it themselves.”

“Then why are you so on edge?”

Talking about lifespans and whatnot, saying things you don’t mean.

“…That’s not a particularly pleasant observation.”

After perfectly putting on the cardigan, I carefully got up and walked toward the fireplace.

“The wounds… are they indeed the effect of my soul being shattered?”

“Yes.”

“Won’t they disappear again?”

“Probably not.”

It was unfortunate news.

‘I thought 10 years was out of the question, but at least a few years would be manageable.’

At this rate, I’d be lucky to last about a year.

I had been relieved that inheriting the Weatherwax title made it much easier to move both mentally and physically. But as soon as positive things happened, an even bigger mountain appeared.

A brief silence fell.

It was Lu who broke the empty silence.

“Daisy.”

“Yeah.”

“Why do fragile things break so easily?”

I turned to look at Lu.

Our gazes met. Unlike his voice filled with emptiness, his face was still calm.

“I thought I had trained it well. But this kind of result comes out.”

Only after hearing those words did I seem to understand why Lu’s nerves had been on edge the entire time.

‘It was because of me.’

Lu.

My melancholy mage.

He already had a melancholy impression, but thinking that my existence might make him even more melancholy made my heart heavy.

Still, on the other hand, I felt strange.

It was obvious that Lu treated me specially… but when I felt it firsthand like this, various complex emotions came rushing in.

‘Special treatment is certainly something to be happy about.’

On the other hand, I was anxious. I was worried that I might have a bad influence on that ‘balance’ that Lu was always concerned about.

‘Hmm. But maybe such worries are too arrogant.’

Logically speaking. Even if my existence has some influence on Lu, would it really be enough to upset the balance of a demigod?

I felt embarrassed for having fallen into such useless delusions for a moment, so I quietly cleared my throat so only I could hear.

Meanwhile, Lu’s eyes, which had been heavily settled, became even sharper.

“Listen carefully, Daisy. Dian Ket’s Heirlooms are stored in this castle.”

“What? In this castle?”

“Yes. The distinctive aura of Dian Ket emanating from the heirlooms is pooled in this area. Whether you kill people or collapse the castle, you can use any method. I’ll protect you no matter what, so just focus on obtaining those heirlooms.”

What Lu proposed to me was clear.

Collect Dian Ket’s Heirlooms as quickly as possible to restore my broken soul.

Right, in the end, that’s the only way.

‘I knew that Raphael was searching for Dian Ket’s Heirlooms. But did he already possess one?’

It was good news for me in many ways.

Was it because I had an immediate goal? Energy returned to my body that had been drooping like waterlogged cotton.

“Got it. I’ll steal it somehow. Just trust me.”

I thought I made a fairly confident promise… but what’s with that mischievous expression?

“Why again? What’s the problem? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lu arrogantly lifted his chin and looked down at me as he answered.

“Try asking me to bring it to you.”

“What?”

“Dian Ket’s Heirlooms stored in this place.”

This man is doing this again.
