Just as Nastasia came to the Count's realm...

Nastasia was extremely busy.

The Count is coming to schedule the ceremony soon after he rests.There are many powerful people who want to meet the royal family.By fulfilling their desires, the Count wants to show his strength.

It is also the royal duty to be generously used.

(That's just too reluctant.....)

The Count brought the man one day when Nastasia was fed up with busy days.

"I'm sorry I'm so tired.There's someone I'd like you to meet.Serving me from my generation - my dear loyal minister.I wish you had one of those words. "

"That's it.I'd love to meet you. "

Nastasia responds with a smile.

When the Count called out, the door opened and the man appeared.

A man dressed in a brown robe reminds me of a dead tree.

The skin head makes my face fleshy and pale.I don't know how old it is because of that.Probably the same as the Count of Fifty, but above and below.

"My name is Forth, the doctor who serves the Count.It's an honor to meet you, Third Princess. "

The man said with a crouched voice and reached out to Nastasia.

My hands are thinning like branches.

He's got a creepy vibe.

"Welcome, Forth.As the Count's right arm. "

Without hesitation, Nastasia held the man's hand.

The day continued to be visited, and the day ended in haste.

The next morning...

Nastasia complained of illness.

Wake up, Nastasia holds her head down.

"Ugh... my head hurts... I feel sick..."

That word leaked out of Nastasia's mouth.It is very unusual for Nastasia to get sick.

Rio opened his mouth as he was preparing for the morning in the room.

"Are you tired?Are you all right, sir?

"Hmm, I guess it's okay...Because I don't feel sick.... I feel like I haven't slept much... "

I had a shallow sleep.Something strange - I've been having uncomfortable dreams.I can't remember what that is.

Probably tired, Nastasia herself concluded so.

Rio opens his mouth.

"But don't be impossible.Shall I tell the Count to cancel today's appointment?

I did it...

Unmotivated Nastasia rejoiced innocently.Nastasia's way of life is to use it to the best of her ability if she has a good reason to rest.

(... well, I feel like I've been working a lot - let me skip a bit!

It was only that day that I was optimistic.

Every night Nastasia's condition worsened.On the fourth day, it was hard to get out of bed.

"Hmm... this might be bad..."

Nastasia blurred while lying in bed.

I have a headache.My body is heavy.

The slow dream began to linger in Nastasia's memory.

"[]/(exp, adv-to) (uk) (uk) with all due respect/"

"[]/(exp, adv-to) (uk) (uk) with all due respect/"

"[]/(exp, adv-to) (uk) (uk) with all due respect/"

Such unpleasant sounds echo in Nastasia's ears in her dreams, and something thin is entangled in her hands and feet.

Ah....

This is...

Thread.

The Count's doctor, Fors, who came to see him - Nastasia told the dead man about it.

"... I often dream of yarn for some reason..."

"You must have a confused memory.Do you have any strong memories of the thread as a child?

"... yarn..."

Nastasia put her hand on her forehead.Was there such a thing?

Forth continued indifferently without waiting for Nastasia's reply.

"Probably overworked because of the long journey.Please rest. "

Nastasia has been resting on the western spire ever since.

I felt ill on the other hand.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Come here, please."

Rio led me and Licht into the back of the room.

At that time...

I noticed Rio's gaze staring at my face.

"... something?

"Oh, no, I'm sorry.... may I ask your name?

Alberto of the Marquis of Luminas.

"Luminous! I see...."

Rio couldn't open his mouth just because he snapped.

I wonder what's going on...?

There is a bed in the back, and there is a woman lying there.

She was a beautiful woman with closed eyes.

I don't really care about the ugliness of my face, but I was breathtaking.I'm sure the word 'beautiful' is not enough to praise the woman.It emits an extraordinary glow.

It's like a doll made by God.

I know only one beauty like this.

Maybe she's the one...

"Third Princess Nastasia."

Rio said with a gaze on the woman.

There is another maid sitting beside Nastasia.She looks just like Rio - she must be the other twin, Mio.

Licht opens his mouth.

"Nastasia, how are you feeling?

Licht was right, and his beautiful face frowned in pain.The breathing leaking out of my mouth was also rough.

Rio nodded.

"Yes, it's been bad since we got here...."

Then Rio told us what happened when he arrived.

Nastasia has been busy since her arrival in the County.

Because the Count brought the next one, "The Power of the Realm I Want to Meet the Royal Family."

Nastasia was doing her best.

"After a few days, I got sick."

Rio grabbed his hands and kept doing this.

"It was sweet! I should have stopped harder!The count's plans were obviously too frequent!

... I see...

The Count is a nobleman on your side...

I was tired of listening to the story.Many nobles boast of their power by letting royalty meet them.

It is the duty of the royal family to show their faces and to seek labor.

Everything has a line of common sense.

I would be careful not to burden the royal family with loyal nobles, but the Count is apparently different.

It is obviously strange to use it severely until I feel ill.

"I'm resting trying to wait for my condition to get better, but while it gets worse...."

Rio breathes heavily.

Richard asked.

"Have the doctors seen you?

"Yes, I am seeing the doctor who referred me to the Count."

... but I don't suppose that's the result.

It was then.

"Uh-huh...."

Nastasia moaning as she closed her eyes.Maybe he woke up with our voice.

The eyes began to open.

"Rio....?

"I'm sorry for the disturbance."

"It's fine, but...?

"I'm Richard Stram. It's been a long time, Mr. Nastasia."

"Ah... Licht"

Waking up - Nastasia breathed a bitter breath.And he said with a blurry voice.

"... I'm sorry... I'm not feeling well..."

"No! It's totally fine!Yes! "

Licht shakes his neck slowly before continuing.

"Nastasia, how are you feeling?

"That sucks... that's the worst thing in life, no doubt..."

Hah... Nastasia answers with a loud voice.

Rio interrupted.

"Um, Nastasia.If you can't do it... "

"Fufu, it's all right... just change your mood a little bit, I can't help it when I'm free..."

I heard you worked too hard, but it's hard.

"Hmm... the doctor says I'm overworked..."

Afterwards, the sleigh and Nastasia continued.

"I don't think so...."

No?

"I don't think overwork has fallen so long... I don't want to stay asleep forever... but I think my health is going to be excessive..."

Nastasia keeps opening her mouth like this.

"I also have weird dreams....."

Then Nastasia started talking to herself.

"... I don't know... but there's a tingling sound... and a stranded thread is wrapped around my body..."

Nastasia leans her neck.

"... I wonder what this is.... the hint of a yarn dream?

"Hmm, I don't know...."

That's what Licht said, tilted his neck, and then he turned to me.

"Do you know Mr. Alberto?

"No, I don't know.

Nastasia looks at me with a blurred eye.It seemed like it was the first time he had noticed me.

And then he raised a voice that he didn't think was sick.

"Eh, the arrangement is melting out!?

She looked surprised from the bottom of her heart.
