“Ugh, it tastes awful.”
“Eat it all anyway! It’s not that much.”
Amy said firmly, pushing a spoon towards me.
I barely swallowed the potion’s characteristic slimy liquid, then opened my mouth.
“Do I really have to eat all of this?”
“Yes. The doctor specifically instructed me to make sure you eat it all.”
It’s not that I have to eat it; I have to be fed it.
I sighed.
I never knew I would miss pills this much.
“This is the end, right?”
“The end? You have to take three bottles every day.”
“What if I don’t eat it?”
“He said you’ll die.”
Right.
I will eat it obediently.
Using all kinds of expressions, I swallowed the entire potion, and Amy handed me some apple juice.
“You like apples, don’t you?”
“I do, but….”
I drank the juice with a stunned look.
Still, tasting the sweet juice diluted the horrible taste of the potion from before.
“Is it because of what His Highness said?”
“Of course.”
Amy giggled.
“Now there’s no one who doesn’t know that you like apples.”
Well, it doesn’t matter.
There’s no one else to bring me food but Amy anyway.
I was thinking such peaceful thoughts when I finished all the juice.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Ah, it must be the doctor! But I’ll check anyway.”
Amy opened the door slightly and looked back at me with rabbit eyes.
“My lady, there are knights… what should we do?”
I scowled.
Are they here to bother a sick person?
“Tell them to leave.”
“Your Holiness!”
A desperate voice burst through the door crack.
“We have come to thank you!”
What?
I seriously doubted if I was hearing things.
What are the odds that those words… were really spoken by someone?
“His Highness Duke told us that you almost left us!”
“He… come in.”
I responded with a flabbergasted voice.
It seemed I had to listen to this.
Surprisingly, a group of knights stormed into the room.
Thanks to Amy quickly draping a robe over me, except for sitting on the bed, I looked no different from usual.
The one leading them was Sir Tobias.
But the one who spoke was a sharplooking knight to his right.
“Your Holiness, we are sincerely grateful. If not for you, most of us would have become cannon fodder by now.”
“That’s fortunate.”
I smiled.
“I’m glad I could help.”
“You’re also modest, Your Holiness. It wasn’t just help!”
I cocked my head.
“Has His Highness told you everything?”
“Yes.”
Tobias answered calmly.
“We heard that it was you who opened the waterway. We, and the whole fortress, are grateful to you.”
I blinked.
Hades told them everything.
It was surprising but not shocking.
He was not the type to steal the credit I deserved.
But…
‘Now I can’t play the infamous government role, can I?’
It was good for me.
I didn’t want to be hated.
But I wondered why Hades broke his own rule and told them about my merit.
‘I’ll have to ask later.’
As I blinked slowly, as if drowsy, the quickwitted Amy hurriedly drove the knights away.
“The doctor said that you can’t have visitors for long, gentlemen! Please leave. Leave the gifts there. Yes, thank you.”
I stared blankly at the gifts that the knights had piled up on the table.
Is this all…
“Apples?”
“Yes.”
Amy sighed.
“They’re so clueless, everyone brings apples anyway. Why not bring something better? Holy Lady, what do you like?”
“Something tasty.”
The answer popped out more quickly than I expected.
Amy’s eyes widened and then began to moisten.
“Our kind Holy Lady, unable to eat properly because of those terrible people… Don’t worry. I’ve completely stormed the kitchen. Just tell me if there’s anything you want to eat from now on!”
“Thanks, that’s reassuring.”
“If you’re grateful, please make sure to take care of my retirement fund.”
Huh?
I glanced at Amy.
Her tone was serious, it didn’t seem like a joke.
“When will you retire?”
“In 10 years.”
Amy answered confidently.
“I’ll work exactly 10 more years and then open a dressmaking room.”
“You have a dream.”
“Of course!”
Amy’s eyes sparkled.
“I’ve loved touching clothes since I was a child. I’ve mended my sisters’ clothes, too. Thanks to you, Holy Lady, I can touch many expensive clothes, and I love it.”
I began to trust Amy a little more.
The more definite a person’s goal, the more reliable they tend to be.
“Could you pass me one of those apples? The one that looks firmest and tastiest.”
I took a big bite out of the apple Amy chose and washed.
It was crisp and sweet.
There was nothing more to wish for in taste.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The effect of the story Hades spread was tremendous.
I was followed by smiles and greetings everywhere I went, even the perpetually cold butler became polite to me.
But that left one question.
‘Why on earth?’
As Hades, he would have benefited more from not revealing the truth.
So why did he not only reveal the truth but also spin a story that made me a hero?
‘Sorry? Grateful?’
But Hades Croitner was not one to be moved by such petty emotions.
‘Besides, if his feelings toward me had improved, his affection level would have moved out of resentment earlier.’
Wait a moment.
