Akkia asked Lea in a voice heavy with confusion. The Count’s usually haughty, red eyes were constantly fluttering.
“I, I don’t know! I’ve never tried opening it from the inside!”
Lea fumbled with her hand to inspect the lock of the door.
“What do we do? It’s doublelocked, I guess it can only be opened from outside!”
Indeed, when would one ever need to open a cabinet door from the inside? It made sense that it could only be opened from the outside.
Lea looked at the Count with a face filled with despair.
“What do we do now? If no one comes to open it, we can’t get out of here…. In that case, we’ll have to explain why we were in here, won’t we?”
A flustered Lea struggled to get out of the cabinet. At first, she hadn’t felt so claustrophobic because she thought she could easily get out.
But as the reality of being completely trapped in a tight space hit her, she began to feel breathless.
The Count’s complexion darkened rapidly at Lea’s frantic squirming, and he quietly muttered.
“Stop moving.”
“Pardon?”
The cabinet shook with every movement of Lea’s, making it hard for her to hear the Count. To hear his words, she tried to turn around, and the Count let out a low moan.
“…… You, stop moving.”
“Why? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
His voice was lower than usual, not a good sign. Even if it was to get a good look at him, Lea turned fully to face the Count.
“That’s…. just stay still when I tell you to.”
“Are you hurt somewhere, Count? This isn’t the time to be still. We need to get out of here before anyone comes.”
The Count had a pained look on his face, but there didn’t seem to be any physical discomfort.
Lea couldn’t understand why the Count was asking her to stay still in a situation where they desperately needed to break the cabinet and get out.
At Lea’s determined words, the Count swept his sweatdrenched hair back and spoke more gently than before.
“Huh, you keep touching.”
“Pardon? What’s touching? What have you been saying since….”
Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation she hadn’t noticed until now.
The hefty presence touching her. The alien sensation was poking at her insistently.
‘Ah……? Could it be.’
A cold sweat dropped from Lea’s forehead.
‘Is it what I’m thinking……?’
She closed her eyes tightly, as if to deny the reality that had happened to her. She thought it might have been better to be discovered by the butler.
From that point on, Lea’s movements drastically decreased.
Not only her movements, but her words also dwindled, and a heavy silence hung between the two. Their faces, redder than Lea’s red hair, were heated.
In the small cabinet that could barely accommodate two people.
Their proximity was very close, and their night was long.
[This is a time separator.]“Hah…….”
Early in the morning. Under Lea’s eyes were deep shadows, indicating a sleepless night.
In the end, the two were able to escape from the cabinet. Of course, the door of the cabinet was damaged beyond repair.
“What should I say in my defense to the butler……”
The Count had returned to his room, leaving her to smooth over the situation on her own. Consequently, she was left to deal with the fallout.
Moreover, she was preoccupied with thoughts other than being scolded by the butler.
[Stop moving.]A profound sense of shame washed over her, so intense she wished she could kick off the quilt right then and there. Lea began to seriously consider how she should perceive the Count at this very moment.
‘Ugh. I don’t want to go for the medical checkup during times like this.’
If there was a medical checkup, she would’ve had a day off. The thing that the butler had taken from the medical room yesterday was none other than the Count’s recent medical chart.
It was inevitable that she had to seek out the Count as she had to report it. It was when Lea was walking towards the Count’s bedroom with her slow strides.
‘What’s happening?’
From the first to the third floor. She saw the maids busily tidying up the mansion.
Even though it wasn’t a major cleaning day. Looking at the maids cleaning with the determination to not leave a speck of dust, she felt puzzled.
‘Is a guest coming? They’re cleaning the guest room?’
Moreover, she saw them cleaning the guest room, which wasn’t even in use. Lea, who was walking down the hallway, called out to a maid approaching from the opposite side.
“Is a guest expected? The mansion seems to be in chaos.”
“Ah. Yes. We’re expecting a guest from the palace tomorrow.”
“A guest?”
A guest from the palace. The maid added to her explanation, looking at Lea who seemed surprised and had her eyes wide open.
“Yes, the doctors from the palace are coming. It’s the Count’s regular checkup day.”
“Ah. Thank you.”
It seems the regular checkup she had heard happens once a year was scheduled for tomorrow.
Lea, who had arrived at the Count’s bedroom unknowingly, entered the room with a knock.
She saw the Count sitting at a distance. Seeing him reminded her of the incident from last night, and Lea quickened her steps.
She intended to finish her tasks quickly before she started having strange thoughts.
After taking Alpharadia, the Count had started eating quite well. Lea felt secretly proud seeing about a third of his meal already consumed today.
Lea, who had approached the Count, handed him the sanjoin tea.
“Count, I’m glad to see you’re eating more.”
“Stop your pointless talk. So, did you check it?”
At Lea’s nagging, the Count frowned as if telling her to stop.
“Yes. It turns out the document was the medical chart as you said, Count. It was your recent medical chart. The butler seems suspicious. I’ll keep an eye on him.”
While sipping the sanjoin tea, Ackia nodded silently at her continuous report. It was a signal of permission.
‘Then, this part is done.’
Lea, who was about to take out the medical tools she had brought for a simple checkup, spoke.
“By the way. I heard a guest is coming from the palace tomorrow? It’s the regular checkup day, isn’t it?”
“…….”
“Did you know…… Count?”
She had brought it up thinking he would obviously know. However, Ackia was frozen in place, holding his tea cup.
