She might be able to find a clue to meet Lona again.

If she could meet Lona, she intended to seriously ask for advice about her fate this time.

She didn’t want to believe that the prince’s affection had brushed past her like the wind and then disappeared. She prepared to go out, desperate to grasp even a straw.

Lona was plodding along. Her discouragement was clearly reflected in her weak steps.

“I’ll be back soon, Mr. Elleon.”

She had said so, but in fact, she had no intention of returning quickly at all.

In the past six days, whenever Elleon was about to have a seizure, he sent Lona outside the mansion.

One day, he said that Niel, the gardener’s wife, was struggling alone and that she should clear the weeds in the back garden. It was because it was uncomfortable to have them get caught in his shoes while walking around the neglected back garden of the mansion.

Another day, he told her to check if the expensive alcohols in the cellar matched what was recorded in the account book. She had entered the cellar in the morning and could only come out late in the afternoon.

Lona was a maid who served Elleon. So she used to live without any concern about such household chores. She only needed to help him with what he needed by his side.

But now that he had been bedridden with a fever, she was in a situation where she couldn’t serve Elleon, so she thought lightly that he might be giving her other chores.

She realized that she was mistaken on one of those days. That was when she returned to the mansion after finishing quicker than expected with the help of Olivier in the back forest to pick jujubes to pickle in alcohol.

As soon as she entered the hall on the first floor of the main building, it seemed that the big mansion was shaking with Elleon’s groaning sound.

A hundred kinds of emotions were contained in the sound that Elleon made.

It wasn’t a sound made from physical pain. It was closer to a sound made from mental pain.

His eyes weren’t suffering because they were in pain. It was painful because he couldn’t fix his eyes.

“Aaargh!”

He was just screaming, but Lona felt his emotions as much as she knew him.

Only then did she realize why Elleon had been sending her out to do household chores that he hadn’t even touched for half a year.

“It’s okay to be by your side.”

After noticing this, even if Elleon ordered anything, her mind was circling around him even if she didn’t hear the scream filled with pain.

“You should have used the method of boiling medicine well, author.”

Lona sighed deeply.

‘If Elleon doesn’t recover, will I lose the way back to my original world?’

But now, even if she couldn’t go back, she wished that he would just stop hurting.

‘Even when I went to Cafe Cardinal last time, I had tea with Elleon.’

Looking up at the old sign of the cafe where the paint was peeling, Lona collected her sorrowful heart.

“Hello. I’m going to take it today. I’ll just buy chocolate.”

Taking the chocolate, Lona slowly started to walk towards the other side of the grand square. She intended to wander around somewhere and kill time before returning.

‘Elleon. Has the seizure stopped by now?’

Still, his thoughts filled her mind.

Thud.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.
