Chapter 37

“I think there is no indication of a big disease here…”

The physician who tried to make a diagnosis ended his talk cloudy. Seriously. He already examined Sezh several times but never something strange popped up. But why did his back feel so cold? The source is a person who kept supervising him since earlier.  When he turned his head, he saw a pair of frightening scarlet eyes. The physician reflexively coughed.

“No indication then why this kid in this condition?”

Raytan’s morbid cold voice rang up all over the room. The voice that creeped the spine of anyone who heard it. The psychian trembled.

“I-I already e-examined her thoroughly. B-but there-there are still no weird symptoms that can be found.”

“Heuk. Then why did the Princess suddenly like this.”

This person looks like he is on his way to kill me and this person keeps self-blaming herself to the point she could not stop her weep . The psychian stares directed to Luna who is crying.

“But she is still fine in the morning…”

No, it’s because there are really no weird symptoms. This situation looked more serious because of the doctor. The psychian who already did it back and forth, again and again started to examine Sezh.

“Eub. ub. ub.”

She doesn’t hurt anywhere. It’s just she can’t open her mouth. Sezh with all of her strength trying to scream it out but of course she got nothing from it.

A while ago, Raytan who couldn’t find what’s wrong with Sezh, lifted her to his embrace and took her by running . He brought Sezh to her palace. Fortunately, there is no one who saw them.

Luna, who never expected Raytan’s arrival was quite shocked. When she saw Sezh who was hugged in his arms, her face turned purple speechless to the max. Sezh thought she could never fix Luna’s dumbfoundedness.

Raytan layed Sezh down on the bed, he then explained everything that just happened to Luna. Truthfully, Luna is still scared enough of Raytan. Sezh thought that she couldn’t answer properly with just her feet. However, the results were very unexpected.

[It’s like Raytan explaining, Sezh help him with demonstrating lol]

Luna asked carefully.

‘Do the Princess happen to ate something unusual? I think it could be because of food. Psychian. I would call the psychian first!’

That’s the thing, so the psychian came but… as everyone can see, there is no outcome.

“Uh…Princess.”

The psychian who seemed like he already made a diagnosis speak cautiously.

“These days have been a rough day I see.”

What do you say? What is this again? Sezh made a confused face. The psychian looked hesitant a little. Then he spoke again.

“Miss Luna, you also know about this. I’m talking about the aphasia that the Princess has suffered.”

“….Yes.”

Luna answered lowly. Raytan, still without a word, took his glance at Sezh.

Ah! It’s all in the past, why bring it back again! Sezh didn’t know why but felt a little embarrassed and tried to avoid Raytan’s stare. It’s alright but… it’s just kind of those feelings. The feeling when your private story has been caught.

*[I don’t actually sure about this sentence. But what Sezh meant is she felt kinda awkward but somehow like more intimate that Raytan knows about her aphasia]

“I think there is a huge possibility that the Princess has a mental distress. It’s because she couldn’t even say a word. If people get an extreme shock it could be like this.”

No! No! I didn’t get shocked by anything. Rather I feel more delighted these past days. She really wants to shout but her mouth keeps getting blocked.

“First, it will be good to get some rest for a day and she has to consume some medicines before sleep. Then we will find out more tomorrow.”

“Perhaps, The Princess needs to take more medicines?”

“I think we need to see it more. And I know I don’t need to say this but … in order to make The Princess not feel pressured for the time being. I hope Miss Luna would put more care to The Princess.”

“Yes. I understand. Then the prescription….”

The psychian rose up from his seat to walk towards his bag. He then gave Luna something that he fetched up from there. My Goodness. That’s plenty of medicines. Since young, she used to eat medicines but never got familiar with the distastefulness. Sezh made a disapproving face.

“Then I would go off first now. If something happens in advance, please contact me.”

The psychian greeted in a fine courtesy but Raytan didn’t answer it. He just stared at the psychian. He looked so scared by his red gleamed stare. The psychian walked to the door without looking back and ran off.

“I will process your medicine now, Princess.”

Luna, who was still sniveling, wiped her eyes. Ugh, why is everything like this. Sezh was feeling so stuffy by all of this but seeing Luna drowned in tears like that, Sezh felt her inside was burning black.

I am really fine… So please don’t worry. She really want to say that but the sound that keep coming is ‘eub eub’

“And Master Raytan. Thank you so much.”

Luna politely gave her greetings then spoke like that.

“If Master Raytan didn’t help out this much. I don’t know if there would be bigger things happening or not.”

“…Bigger things?”

“A few years ago. The Princess was often to be fainted.”

Ah! Why are you even telling him that Luna. Sezh’s face already depressed. You have to read this at novel update.

“Fainted. Is that to  the point that it’s so serious?”

“The Princess’s mind and body originally is not that weak. It’s just The Princess has anguished so many difficulties that affected her mind…”

“…”

“However. Thank you so much. I can’t even give you anything aside from thankful words.”

“It’s alright.”

“And the last time…”

Luna paused her speech for a moment

“The last time… I have committed such an impudent behavior. I wish Master Raytan could forgive my rudeness.”

What rudeness that Luna referred to, Sezh thinks she knows it. It’s when the dogfight happened at the library. Luna hurriedly hid Sezh behind her back as soon as she realized that Raytan was staring at Sezh. But, she’s not sure. Will Raytan receive that apology?

“It’s already happened in the past.”

Raytan’s answer was quite surprising.

“Hurry, get the medicine. I will be the one who will look after her here.”

“Sure. Excuse me.”

Luna who already gave her farewell greeting stepped outside the room. Only Sezh and Raytan that were left now. Suffocating silence filled the whole room.

“…”

Raytan came closer to the bed. Somehow he looked so nervous that his face was pale like a sick person. He watched Sezh who was laying in bed. Raytan opened his mouth a little.

“This stu-”

Raytan suddenly beat his lips. Stu what? Stunning? Stuffy? Ah, it’s not that. He want to say stupid. Then why hesitating? He won’t say that? Sezh eyes widened.

“I…”

Hm? I what?

“I…”

Raytan keeps mumbling I, I,  for several times. He even hardly took a breath for a few times too.

“…You’ve been suffering this much stress. I don’t know.”

He is soughing like a mosquito.

“Eub…eub?”

“And about me saying you are an idiot… uh … Fuck. Sorry. Shit.”

It was a terrible apology.

Still, it was really an unexpected experience to get an apology from Raytan. Sezh didn’t know if she should laugh or say anything right now.

“Honestly about stupid… plague, No.”

“…..”

“Actually you’re following the lessons quite well. You’re not that imbecile. And also not as dumb as you can’t understand anything. No, it’s not this …. Shit…. So I want to say that you’re surprisingly quite useful… No, It’s not surprising… Damn.”

Raytan seems to get a complete misunderstanding now. He thought that the cause of shock that Sezh had was himself. It was because he kept trying to say something in a terrible language of communication.

But that is totally a false assumption. On the contrary, Sezh felt like her days were filled up with contentment. She believed that this is the first time life at the Imperial Palace was fun before or after her regression. And then Raytan  now apologized to her in judgement that Sezh got extreme stress because of him. Somehow she felt kind of guilty.

“Eub, eub.”

“What?”

“Eub.”

Sezh gived up on things that she’s about to say. She waved her hands, trying to say ‘It’s not your fault.’ But it looks like Raytan didn’t get it. Stifled Sezh nervously pointed at the table. On top of it, there was a mess of paper and pen. It hasn’t been organized since her morning practice.

“You want me to bring it?”

Sezh nodded. Raytan shockingly brought those things to her in a gentle approach. Sezh with a very serious look wrote something. Following that, she gave the paper to Raytan.

Raytan’s face slightly distorted. Raytan raised his head and stared at Sezh who also put her gaze on him. Sezh who was staring at him then giggled. Because of her closed mouth, the chuckles sounded vaguely.

Anyway he’s really sure that she’s a stupid kid. No, she’s not stupid … but, what is this … In that condition of her, she said ‘let’s meet again tomorrow’, ‘I will always like brother’. What on earth she is so excited to talk like that when she can’t even be careful of her own body.

“If you know what shit that happened to you right now, or even if not … I really don’t know about it, that you.”

“Eub?”

“Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will definitely meet again. So, recover soon.”

“Eub.”

Really? Sezh’s eyes are gleaming full of happiness. Her condition was quite abnormal right now but after everything this incident proved that Raytan put his care a lot to her. Her pile of hard work was resulting a positive upshot.

Speaking the truth, Sezh really wants to dance around like a crazy person immediately. Obviously she couldn’t do it because of her condition and she’s in front of Raytan right now.

“Princess, I brought the medicine.”

At one time whenLuna who came brought Sezh’s medicine, Raytan stared at Sezh once again then  spoke.

“Then tomorrow I will come again.”

“Master Raytan are you going back?”

“Yes. Please take care of that stup-… No, Princess.”

Finished his sentence, Raytan left the room. Luna who closed the door watched Raytan’s back who started to fade away by distance for a while, after she took her glance back at Sezh.

“Princess, I think Master Raytan is concerned about you a lot.”

Right? So Luna thinks like that too? Sezh’s eyes were sparkling.

“So, please get well soon, Princess. I am so worried…”

No, why are you crying like this, Sezh felt guilty. Whether she realized it or not but Luna has done crying so many times that she kept wiping her eyes.

“However, you will recover soon enough. That time was also like this. Princess is a strong kid. This time you will. I’ll help you. Then, let’s eat the medicine first then go deep into sleep.”

Luna delicately helped Sezh to sit up on her bed. Following that, she brought the brown colored medicine that has been prescripted before.

… Hold on.

“Princess?”

“Eub eub.”

“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

“Eub, u eub.”

…… No, my lips were rigidly sealed. How can I eat these medicines!

Which channel-

S-should I consume it by my nose?

“Princ-”

Sezh who can’t talk at that time alternatively pointed her finger at the medicine bowl.

“….Oh.”

She was so determined that Luna must already have a big misunderstanding right now.

“Uh…What’s wrong with the bowl?”

Distressed Luna and Sezh looked at each other absent-mindedly.

I told you, Luna. This wasn’t a problem caused by mental stress, so of course this wasn’t a problem with the body too. For now, there was only one possible explanation. Sezh was so frustrated.

Eton! All of these things must be because of that freaky Uncle!

‘And, it will be better to keep this promise. Goodbye.’

Sezh who finally retrieved her memory back about Eton’s words gritted her teeth.
