Werazel was serious. Chester seemed to be unaware of how dangerous tetanus was.

If you are infected, you may have to amputate your hand.

“Te-tanus? What is that?” asked Chester after hearing the term for the first time.

“Ah, anyway. If you want to use your hands properly in the future, you have to treat your wound.”

“I’ll do it on my own, just go.” Chaster, who was bothered by Lizelle, leaned back again against his chair.

It seemed that this time she decided to pretend she was worried about me, not Lapel.

He maintained a stiff expression as if that technique didn’t work.

“Tia!”

Whether Chester wants it or not, Werazel called Tia over.

“Yes! Miss Werazel. Oh my! I see the Duke.”


“Tia, how about Lapel?” asked Werazel, who was playing with Lapel earlier.

“The knight is playing with him.”

“Then, can you bring me a disinfectant and a bandage? Please.”

“Yes? Ah yes!”

Tia rushed to bring the disinfectant.

Werazel put herself on the bench as far as possible to where Chester was sitting.

I need to stay here because of Tia and I just need to hand the medicine kit to him.

However, from his attitude right now, it was clear that he would not be treated by her even if he brought a medicine kit.

I don’t want to be blamed for any scar left because of me, so I had to see the treatment with my two eyes.

I think this guy has a problem, but what can I do? He got hurt to help me.

“Ha,” said Chester, sighing at the sight of her sitting down. The bench isn’t the only one here, but she just had to take a seat close to him.

Chester straightened up and was about to leave.

“Duke, is it that you’re uncomfortable and want to run away? Hm?”

Right away, Werazel’s voice flew into his ear. He frowned.

“No way.”

He put his back on the bench again.

He knew well that she had stimulated him on purpose, but he didn’t want to be baited by her for some reason.

“Right? I thought so.”

Lizelle, who had already grasped his personality, easily put him back in place.

He, who hates losing, reacts immediately after a slight scratch.

“Miss! Here is the medicine kit you requested me.” Soon Tia ran out with the kit.

When Werazel, who had been handed over the medicine kit, stretched it towards him, Chester reached out his wounded hand to her, as if he couldn’t help it.

“…”

“You don’t expect me to treat you myself, did you?” asked puzzled Werazel, looking at his raised hand.

“…”

She put the medicine kit next to him, as she would like him to treat his wound on his own. Chester’s ears reddened.

He hurriedly took back his awkward hand. The other person didn’t even think about it, but his ears became more and more ripe due to the embarrassment.

 

“Huh? Really?” asked Werazel, amazed, seeing his ears.

He really thought I would treat him.

“No.”

“You don’t want me to treat you, Duke?”

“I never wanted it.” Although his ears were bright red, he pretended like nothing happened and grumbled.

“Yes, yes, I understand. You need to heal it quickly.”

“I know. I’ll do it. Just go.”

Chester said, exhaling deeply in embarrassment. His heated ears were still burning.

“Really? Alright, I brought you the medicine, so make sure you do it.” Lizelle stood up from the seat.

At first, she planned to go away after seeing him treat it, but he is quite embarrassed now, so she decided it was better to get out of the way.

She grinned smugly at the reaction she had seen for the first time, grabbed the ball Lapel threw, and left.

“Ha.”

Finally alone, Chester bowed his head, embarrassed, and the back of his neck was hot.

He was accustomed to receiving, of course, he thought she would treat him. But when he found out that he misunderstood her, his face heated up for some reason..

In shame, he pushed the box of medicine away from him and then dragged it back to treat the wound.

***

A few days later.

Lizelle came out of the carriage followed by a small boy with black hair and red eyes.

The mansion has everything for sure, but she wanted to breathe in the lively air. Also, she wanted to give Lapel a lot of experience since he is still young.

Once he is recognized as the Duke’s nephew, Lapel will not be able to roam freely like he can do now.

You will surely have a busy day with etiquette, swordsmanship, and successor management classes.

Until then, I want to let you play like a child.

Beforehand, it seemed that Chester would not allow it, but he surprisingly agreed.

Instead, there was a condition that they should be accompanied.

And so the knights are now escorting them from a distance at the request of Lizelle.

“Woah.”

Lapel was busy watching, his pupils enlarging. Lizelle smiled as she saw Lapel exclaiming.

The reaction of an innocent child is cute anytime.

“Look at this Lapel. It’s candy.”

Werazel picked up the cane-shaped candy on display and showed it to Lapel. The colorful color was pretty to look at.

“Candy!” Lapel stretched out his arms and wriggled his hands. In response to a strong request for candy, Lizelle handed the sweet to Lapel’s hand.

“How much is it?”

“100 shillings.”

Lizelle opened a wallet made of pale pink leather and handed the owner the 100 shillings she barely found.

Oh my God, I don’t have any money.

The remaining money was 1,000 shillings. Money to buy 10 candies.

 

Suddenly, a drop of cold sweat flowed down on her back.

The Duke did not have to spend money on her, but on occasions like this, it would certainly cost money. Lizelle replied with an awkward laughter towards Lapel who was holding the candy with a bright smile saying “Candy!”

A calculator was running all over her head.

Even if it wasn’t big money, I had to have some as an emergency money.

I can’t even open my hands to parents who are already struggling with the debts of Werazel.

Lizelle fiddled with the emerald necklace on her neck.

“Should I sell this?”

Although it is a small egg as small as a baby’s fingernail, I would be able to get some money if I sell it. The ring worn on my finger was a family ring and could not be sold. By the way, the necklace…

It was one of Werazel’s eye-catching possessions. That’s why she didn’t offer it to sell it even when they resold other things to pay off the debts.

But now the situation is unfavorable, she couldn’t help it.

Werazel, determined, looked around to see if there are any jewelers that she can sell it to for a good price.

Even before I came here, I was already very worried about money, but in the end, in this place, it’s the same.

Really, I’m so lucky.

Bang!

There was a moment’s commotion with a resounding voice.

“Thief!”

Lizelle instinctively hid Lapel behind her.

The knights, who had been far away at the request of Werazel, were weaving through a crowd of people.

A loud voice with several footsteps once again echoed the market.

“Catch the thief!”

Everyone was surprised to find the source of the sound. At that time, a large man from afar was running away, pushing people.

The thief, running like a bulldozer, gave a very fierce expression, as if he wouldn’t let anyone stand in his way.

Lizelle wants to avoid hitting the other person as much as possible in order to not injure Lapel.

I wanted to help out with all my heart, but I couldn’t hold onto that wild boar man alone.

Lapel might get hurt if she took care of the thief.

Lapel was eating candy and was distracted, so he followed Lizelle gently.

Thud! Thud!

The sound got closer and closer. People around him just watched him run. It’s because they don’t know what kind of swindle they’ll face after going out.

Lizelle tried to keep themselves as far away from the thief as possible to protect Lapel.

So why do the footsteps seem to get closer and closer to me?

“What, what?”

Suprised, Lizelle’s eyes widened.

Why is this lunatic coming to me?

At best, she avoided him and turned to a corner, and the man who was supposed to be the culprit was still running towards her.

“Lady Werazel!” The knight Kay was also surprised and ran towards the two.

Werazel wanted to escape, but both her sides were blocked by stalls.

She hugged Lapel to protect him. The sound of feet pounding in her ears was getting stronger.

She slightly opened her eyes and peeked at the situation. The man who was running fast had no obstacles to be tripped on, but he suddenly stumbled and stepped on his feet.

Bang!

The man struggled and fell in front of Lizelle. A cloud of dust rose.

Werazel was staring at the man who fell down with a pretty painful noise.

He just fell on his own.

It is also in front of her. In a situation that seemed like was intentionally planned, Lizelle just blinked.

“Tsk.”

The thief, who had fallen to the ground, was nervous and crumpled. He fell so drastically that blood was flowing through his torn pants.

The thief did not give up and glanced at the man who was chasing him. He stood up from a place where he fell.

Then just ran away.

“No, hey!”


Lizelle yelled at the criminal as he was moving farther away.

You should take your handbag lying on the ground.·Why did you leave it when you fell and hurt yourself from stealing this???

What a strange thief.

“Lady Werazel are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m okay, can you help me to clean up here?”

Werazel helped clear up the messy stalls, asking the vendors if they were okay with a worried face.

Then she looked down at the dusty ground.

On the dirty ground, there sat a luxurious handbag.

Beyond that, the owner of the handbag, who was shouting desperately earlier, was running towards her.
