"Nh...."
It was a fluffy, warm awakening.
While I was asleep, I felt like I had a dream since I came to Garchain.
Talking on a detached balcony with Arnold or going to a night club with Arnold is a dream of what happened the other day.
It's been a long time since I had a dream that wasn't my past.
It is a shame to have to wake up, and I snap my forehead to something close to me.I don't know, but this place fitted very well.
It's warm and wrapped around my body.In particular, I feel relieved by the sound of my heartbeat.
Her eyelids are melting and she seems to fall asleep, but her body is a little heavy.
……
Last night's sawdust has disappeared.
It does not appear to be a sequelae of poison.Strangely and familiar, he slowly opens his eyes and looks up.
And I got all the information.
………………
She is hugged by sleeping Arnold in her bedside.
――
At that moment, I couldn't help but restrain myself from screaming.
(Nah, nah, nah...)
Apparently, they were dressed to face each other, hanging on top of each other.Arnold is breathing in a way that holds Richie's head.
Arnold's mouth appears to be buried near Leicher's forehair.
(Well, why are you on the same bed as His Highness!?)
Arnold is the only one using pillows, and Rieschetto has put his arm on a pillow.I realized it and panicked, but I was too confused to move.
And I remember the beginning of things.
(... that's why I squeezed the waste!!)
When I remembered last night, Riesch faded.
(I told her to go back to her room and go to bed, and she said, "I can't leave her alone, I'll stay overnight."... "If you really want to stay in this room, it's not your turn to sleep, at least sleep here"...)
Last night I cried a lot and my head was blurry, so I said something terrible.
At that time, Arnold was utterly silent, but Riesch nodded "I understand" because she almost cried again.
But I did a terrible thing.
(What did I say when I was a pharmacist...!!I had to go back to my room and sleep alone anyway....)
I'm so sorry I let you go out with Riesch after all.
He slipped away and looked up at Arnold and lowered his eyebrows.
(... didn't I feel uncomfortable holding the pillow...)
Normal Arnold would have woken up when Riesch moved.
But he kept his eyes closed.
I don't know whether it was caused by Leishe's embrace or whether it was caused by the poison, but I hope it has recovered a little from this sleep.
I prayed for that and stared at Arnold's face.
(You look a little younger when you're asleep)
Arnold has two buttons off the white shirt.
From the relaxed collar, there was usually a hidden clavicle and larynx, followed by a neck peek.
What Riesch really cares about is the countless scars on her neck.
(... she said she hated her mother more than anyone else)
Is this wound caused by his mother?
I feel like I want to touch it, but I can't be rude without permission.
So as he stared blurrily, Arnold's hand moved to look for something.
……
After that, slowly open your eyes.
Unawakened blue eyes penetrated the sun from the window.Normally I'm in love, but the situation is now.
"... oh, good morning..."
…………
Arnold blinks slowly.
Afterwards, I reached out to Riesch to brush my coral hair.
When Leishe's cheeks were numb and her eyes closed, the two foreheads were glued together.
It's probably being checked for fever.
Despite knowing it, Arnold is more nervous than necessary because of his unique lethargy.
"Your Highness, um..."
"... how are you feeling?"
Asked with a scattered voice that still looks a little sleepy.
With her foreheads overlaid and her eyelashes touching each other, Riesch responded in a hurry.
"Ah, I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine thanks to you, I'm fine...!"
……
As Arnold raised his eyebrows with his eyes wide open, he reflected that 'how are you' was too much.
Arnold grabbed my arm when I felt awkward and tried to wake up in a hurry.
Hiya
Just stay in bed.
Once again, it sinks into the sea of the beds and is pulled back to the next door to Arnold.I didn't think it was going to work like that, but it was an atmosphere where I couldn't say whether or not it was there.
Riesch had no choice but to ask while lying down.
"Your Highness, is there any modulation in your body?"
"... nothing"
As Arnold answered, he put his hand on Riesch's neck.
Probably trying to unknot the bandage.
Rieschett leaves it to herself, but continues to ask questions.
"Thank you for yesterday.... Miriam-sama... "
"I have told the Duke through Oliver that he may be trying to kill me."
I'm relieved. I thought Arnold would do that, but I'm relieved to hear it again.
"I told the child himself not to leave his father alone.I heard a report from Oliver once in the middle of the night, but he seems to be very much with the Duke. "
"Did Miriam tell His Highness Arnold where I am?"
"Yes, Leo told me, and I set it up on my way to the woods."
Shu, I heard a rub of clothes.
Arnold explains exactly what he wanted to hear as he unbandages Riesch.
However, they remained lying on each other.
"I told Leo and the witch's kid to lie down when you went into the woods.It's pointless just to make a scene, as the church knows. "
"Thank you for everything... fuhia"
Arnold's fingers touched the surface of the skin, and I felt it.
"Hey, don't get mad."
"I mean, it tickles... fu, fufu!Your Highness, stay...! "
"That's why I'm telling you to stay calm."
I was desperate to be scolded, but the bandage was removed somewhat.
I noticed after that, but I can solve the bandage myself.However, since Arnold seemed to be observing the wound with a serious expression, I couldn't mention it now.
"The wound seems to be starting to heal.This won't be a scar. "
I don't care about that.
In the knight's life, there were scars everywhere.
Without saying that, Rieschett explores the wound herself.
Arnold stared at Riesch.
"Your eyelids aren't swollen."
"... His Highness Arnold carefully wiped his tears..."
He answers in a shy mood, but Arnold seems satisfied with it.
"Rewind or I'll get you a new bandage."
"Ah, it's okay, Your Highness."
Following him who woke up on the upper body, Riesch got up with him.
"The blood seems to have stopped, so I think I should leave it like this.I would rather wear a bandage than a scratch. "
"... I think you should wrap it up."
Huh?
(The affected area) is red. It would be easier to put on a bandage and hide it. "
Tilt your neck to such an accusation.
"This poison and wound inflammation should be hard to cause....."
……
After all, it is an assassination poison chosen from the "no trace of poison death at all."
Or was it mixed with poison other than what Riesch had assumed?However, if that were the case, the antidote could not have worked so well.
Thanks to the Master's antidote and Arnold who gave it to me, Riesch is mostly demodulating.
But Arnold denies it.
It's not about the wound.
Hmm?
They trace me with their fingers, and it tickles me.Arnold didn't touch the wound, but around it.
That's how he puts it out in a tight mood.
"The marks of my mouth and inhalation are still red."
――――――……
It was gloomy.
Couldn't you just say something terrible?
Probably when they inhaled the poison.However, recalling once again that Arnold had been made to do so, Riesch said nothing.
"Don't stand out too much because your skin is white."
"... Hyah!?"
I put it on a beat and my cheeks got hot.
He hurried up and hid his face, which would definitely be red.I definitely don't want to know what Arnold looks like right now.
(They didn't give me the antidote yesterday!?)
I felt much hotter than yesterday when I had a real fever.While her head was confused, Riesch barely made a sound.
"Ah, well! I've been worried about it for a long time!!"
"What is it?"
(... I can't hear 'Are you getting used to treating women strangely'...!!)
Is it usually like this?I want to hear it, but I'm afraid to hear it, and I don't know why I think so.
"Riesch"
Confused by the whirlpool of emotions, Arnold opened his mouth.
Why did you entrust Leo with my message?
……
Hold the confusion tightly and shift the top hanger down while hiding your face.
"... because I thought something would happen to Miriam if I didn't get there right away."
"No, it's not."
Arnold had no expression on his eyes, but he didn't think he was going to let Riesch go.
I was angry with you a lot last night, but I know that you were still in trouble.
"Don't you really think that's a trustworthy existence?"
――……
