The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

The princess is angry.

“·······Collock.”

I tried to hold it in as much as I could, but the cough that somehow pierced my mouth that was tightly closed.

It was only after several coughs that I was forced to come out into the world that I was able to remind myself that my body wasn’t in good shape.

“Isn’t it just the two of you for that little while? Anyway, what did I do while I was waiting to get to this point?”

“····.”

We did not open our mouths despite the words of the saint who questioned us like we were pathetic.

Rebecca had not yet reached the level where she could tell others, ‘We were alone and hugging each other.’

Normally, I would have told the truth even to tease my fiancee, but because I was in a state of being unconscious due to a high fever.

“Why did the two of you suddenly harden?”

Unfortunately, there was no one to answer Estelle’s curiosity.

“·········Whew, Cure.”

After staring at me and the princess for a long time, Estelle uses her divine power to break her stubbornness as if she has lost.

Are you avoiding it because you are afraid of being dirty? Avoid it because it’s dirty. It was a sentence that made me feel strange because it was the same reaction.

“Thank you …… Kolok. I do.”

In the end, it did help me. He also expressed his gratitude for the boiling heat.

“If you are so grateful, don’t say thank you and just go to sleep. It helps that treatment ends sooner.”

“····.”

In fact, the person who received the thank you did not show any signs of liking even after receiving the greeting.

It would be meaningful to convey the fact that I am grateful.

maybe.

“…isn’t it very bad?”

As the headache got worse and I closed my eyes for a while, I heard Rebecca’s voice right next to me.

It was a completely different reaction from when I first entered this room and met the saint.

I cleared the misunderstanding while listening to the explanation while holding it in my arms. Another woman who still visits her fiancee’s house might be annoyed.

Maybe it was because I realized that Estelle had really come for treatment, or maybe it was because her concern for me was stronger than her jealousy.

It was hard to know for certain why, but what was certain was that Rebecca had calmed down and was worried about me.

“···············I don’t know about that.”

Estelle also stuttered slightly, as if she did not know that the Valencian girl, who had expressed her openly hostile feelings toward her, would bend over and ask such a question.

“If you are a normal person, it’s normal for any cold to go away when you receive this level of divine power treatment…”

“······However.”

“Yes. Right now, Confucius’ body is still unable to fight off the cold.”

“····.”

“·············I asked before, but I will ask again. Was there really any chronic disease or disease that you were suffering from?”

Estelle asks the question as if there is no other answer to this.

“Collock, I don’t know.”

However, after hearing Estelle’s question, nothing still came to mind.

‘Actually, I feel like I’m from another world.’

I lived in this body for three years without even feeling that my body was sickly.

Even if I asked with such emphasis, there was no way I could find memories that I had never personally experienced in my head.

“If that’s the case…the only remaining cases are that Confucius’ body was originally ill…”

“····.”

“If I ask you this, will you answer that you don’t know?”

“·······Collock.”

“····.”

“Whew…”

Estelle pressed her head with her hand, as if the situation was very frustrating.

To be honest, it wasn’t hard to understand Estelle’s position.

Assuming Estelle is a doctor and I am a patient in the current situation.

When a doctor asks a patient, ‘How are you usually doing?’ to treat a patient, the patient responds, ‘I don’t know. How is my physical condition?’

Rather, it was clear that someone who felt uncomfortable in such a situation would be abnormal.

I even started to think that I should answer by making up even a missing memory.

what to do

In the memories I have, the memories of the body before possessing do not exist.

I think it would have been great if there was a person named ‘Alber Xernias’ in the memories of the original work that still exists.

I don’t have any memories, and I’ve never seen such a person before.

Literally, it was a stuffy, stuffy, and stuffy situation.

“・・・・・・Ugh.”

Is it because of the memories of the original that I was forced to recall again?

It felt like the hotter forehead was getting hotter as it got hotter.

“Cure.”

Estelle proceeded with divine power treatment again towards me.

“Once I did everything I could do.”

“thank you.”

As Estelle’s divine power was delivered to me, it felt like the temperature on my forehead, which was about to explode, was dropping.

Of course, this could be an illusion caused by the psychological stability of receiving divine power treatment.

When I saw that the word “fortunate” appeared on Rebecca’s face, who was looking at me, it was no mistake at all.

In fact, if my condition were the same, there would be no way for Rebecca to see the words “happy” on Rebecca’s face, which would be filled with concern for me.

“I guess I’ll have to spend some time and watch the progress… I’ll be waiting in the drawing room, so if anything happens, call me.”

Estelle, who seemed to have used her divine power quite a bit, said as she wiped the sweat that had begun to trickle down her forehead with her handkerchief.

“Okay…Collock!”

“Don’t lose your throat from coughing while talking for no reason. Young-ae, I’ll take care of the patient.”

“······I know.”

Estelle, who had asked Rebecca for me to the end, turned and left the room as if she had no more regrets.

***

My room, where the saint had left, and only the two of us were left.

“······it’s okay?”

“it’s okay.”

“You really don’t look okay, so just be quiet.”

“····.”

When I asked if he was okay first.

I felt sorry for my fiancee, who immediately changed her stance as soon as she heard my answer.

“······hope you get better.”

“All right.”

“Don’t tell me.”

At least, the feeling of worry conveyed in Rebecca’s voice could be seen by anyone who saw it was sincere.

After a long time, I quietly followed my fiancee’s orders without protesting.

“····.”

“····.”

In a room where they are not alone, but in a room where there is no communication between them at all.

There was only silence between me and Rebecca.

In my case, it was hard to get words out of my mouth due to constant headaches and fever.

In the case of Rebecca, I was afraid that my condition would worsen if I had to tell her.

Each of them had a reason why it was not easy to speak up, and they were trying to figure out what the other person was in.

“······· So. Why did you suddenly practice training?”

And, it was Rebecca who first broke this silence, which was expected to be difficult to break.

“If it’s a water lily… then why did I catch a cold…?”

“If it’s hard to answer, don’t do it.”

“It’s ok… it’s okay.”

“····.”

The expression of distrust.

One of the expressions I saw most of Rebecca’s side was now unfolding on Rebecca’s face.

However, if this time is different from the past, it must be that the expression was made entirely of my worries.

I didn’t express it, but inside, I was happy inside.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to tell other people, especially Princess-sama, but… I’ll tell you.”

All of a sudden, he started talking about the reason why he started practicing all night long.

“It’s just… a simple sense of inferiority.”

“…a feeling of inferiority…?”

“Yeah, since I went through the last hunting contest and experienced the skills of the Princess and the Crown Prince, I felt inferior to my skills.”

“····.”

“I also want to become a more suitable fiance for the princess. I tried my best to practice all night long.”

The result…well, I can’t say it’s good even with empty words.

The end of the sentence was deliberately decorated with laughter as if it were a joke.

Actually, this is the idea I had while planning the overnight training, but because it might sound different to Rebecca and Prince Rebecca.

Even if it wasn’t meant to be anything else. It was enough words to sound different depending on the listener.

“············ It was a joke. How could I have any sense of inferiority to the princess. To the princess who always loses to me whenever there is a match.”

So, as if joking, he spoke lightly, citing the result of the match as an example.

For the heart of the fiancee who may have become uncomfortable. Because I think it’s enough for me to feel dirty and ugly.

I didn’t want to share these evil and uncomfortable feelings with Rebecca.

But.

“…are you really stupid?”

“····.”

“What the hell is a fiance that suits you?”

Apparently, it didn’t sound like a joke to my fiancee.

Seeing the tears in my eyes that I swore I’d never see again.
