I suddenly felt the glare through my eyelids and slowly opened my eyes.
Daisy-sama!
That voice belonged to Kate, who looked after me when I was living at my parents' house.
And the ceiling belonged to my family room, which I was familiar with.
"Kate... I..."
When I try to get up, Kate holds my shoulders and stops me.
"Daisy, Daisy collapsed in the castle conference room." The doctor also told me to rest. Please still sleep slowly. "
Then Kate gently pulls me back to bed and hangs me back from the shoulder.
"That's right... I'm surprised at your story..."
His Majesty wants to use his seeds for war, for a reason. And it's also for my beloved father and familiar knight captain.
... that's why I lost consciousness.
I remembered the memory before I let go of my consciousness.
At that time, the violent heartbeat that I wanted you to stop had already subsided.
"Hey, Kate, I should have been in the castle." And how long have I been asleep? "
I turned my neck to the side and asked Kate as she leaned against me.
"My husband told me that he took Daisy with him in a carriage after she fell down. And then Daisy went to sleep for about two or half a day."
Kate leaned against my pillow and replied, looking at me with a soft expression that seemed to touch me.
"... yes..."
I slowly turned my gaze back to the ceiling and stared at it vaguely.
"Lady Daisy, can I go and tell your wife that Lady Daisy has awakened?" I'll be right back, will you be all right by yourself? "
"Yeah, I'm fine."
In response to Kate's question, I nodded one by one, looking up at the ceiling.
"Well then, I'll go and report to you." And what can I get you? ”
"... I need some water."
"Water... Speaking of which, the doctor told me to prescribe St. John's Wort when Daisy woke up." So, is it okay to have that warm herb tea? ”
"Oh, that's right. That's fine. Thank you, Kate."
After a long exchange, Kate stood up and bowed before quitting my room.
When I was alone, all I could hear was the birds chirping through the window.
Kate stopped me, but I decided to get up. The pillow may be moved to the back to cushion it.
When they turned their faces to the window, the birds were able to confirm the three wings, and they jumped and jumped on the twigs with pleasure.
... that's good.
Like the innocence of the little birds, I thought vaguely.
They don't seem troubled, they seem to have so much fun. Compared to that, I... "
I am alone in the shocking fact that may threaten this country, having been told by His Majesty to "keep it secret".
Of course, my father shared the same secret with me.
... but it's hard to have a secret on your own.
The moment I thought so, one of my eyes was overflowing with tears.
War. Besides, my power... I don't know what to do if you want me to give you what I created.
In retrospect, I have faced this problem several times since I became an alchemist.
Even when His Majesty asked me to create a confession drug.
At that time, I was still too young to make it again, and I was afraid to reject His Majesty.
Then, after opening an atelier in the capital, I met Anna who was opening an atelier in the neighborhood.
I told her, "I don't know how to use force." “I don't want to make anything that could hurt people,” he confessed.
Ana accepted my troubles and graciously gave me advice on them. And I let her become my master.
"... I want to see Ana-san"
I naturally mumbled with my mouth open.
But your Majesty says to keep it a secret.
Your Majesty's permission is required, whether you want to talk to him or ask him about his troubles. I'm sure it's a state-secret level story, so even if you bypass it, Ana might get annoyed.
I, uh, leaked a sigh.
Then the door of the room was knocked on, and Kate's voice told me that Kate had brought her mother back.
Here you go.
When I answered the two people behind the door, Kate opened the door and her mother came into the room first.
"...... Daisy!"
Acknowledging my face, the expression that seemed to start crying gradually turned into joy, and my mother came to my bed quickly.
Then, sitting on the chair beside the bed, my mother took my hand and wrapped it in both hands.
"Mother, I'm sorry for the worry caused."
"It's okay, Daisy. I'm glad you woke up safe."
That's what my mother said, when she released the hand that was holding my hand, she turned her arm around to envelop my body, hugged me, and rubbed my cheek.
