However, the person he called was not a doctor. It was the royal clergy, Raizemon.
‘Ah, right, this is a fantasy world with clergy?’
Although Raizemon was in his late thirties, he looked younger. He seemed to be a polite and calm person at a glance.
After briefly introducing himself to me, he began to examine Kian.
“Your wife said it seems like a bacterial infection. How is it?”
“You saw it accurately, my lord. It seems to be acute septicemia. The treatment is simple, so there is no need to worry.”
“Start right away.”
“Yes, your Grace.”
Soon, a bright light flashed from Raizemon’s hand, and he reached out as if to purify Kian’s body. I was watching Kian, blinded by the dazzle.
Raizemon said it was simple, but the treatment took longer than expected.
“Why is it taking so long? Your skill is pathetic. And you became the king’s exclusive doctor? A royal physician who only treats royals is so slow.”
Raizemon is the one being reprimanded, but why am I sweating?
Sicar criticized Raizemon for the slow treatment, but he didn’t seem particularly shaken. He must have heard a lot of nagging over the years.
“The treatment is over, so he should be fine now.”
“Will he wake up soon then?”
“Yes. The child’s consciousness will return soon. But this child is…….”
“What about this child?”
“Ah, no.”
“If Gillian asks if you treated someone, tell the truth.”
“What?”
“If you say you treated a child, he will ask who the child is. Then, say you rescued a boy with blond hair and blue eyes.”
“Yes, your Grace.”
It was Gillian who had imprisoned Veronia to protect his throne and even removed that child’s father in search of Kian.
By now, Gillian must be looking for a child with blond hair and blue eyes, with fire in his eyes. Sicar must know this fact, but what is he thinking?
Anyway, it was a relief that he would wake up soon.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Even after a long time after Raizemon left, Sicar and I stayed by Kian’s side like real parents.
I stroked the child’s forehead, hoping that the sleeping Kian would wake up soon.
Considering how hard it must have been for him to fight the fever with this small body, Kian was so pitiful that my nose tingled.
“You look like a real mother doing that.”
Right. Sicar should feel more like a father than me.
Well, the age difference is too young to be a dad. No, it’s not impossible in this era.
Just then, Kian’s eyelids twitched and he began to slowly open his eyes.
“Are you conscious now?”
Kian, who opened his eyes blinking, reassured me when he saw me, but as soon as he found Sicar, he took on a defensive expression.
Like a kitten, Kian made a small flame from his fingers again, but maybe because he still had no energy, the flame was only as big as a match flame.
Kian seemed to be trying hard to grow the flame, but the flame showed no signs of growing, and Sicar snorted in laughter.
“Don’t worry. I don’t have any thoughts of dealing with a sick child.”
Only then, when his tension seemed to have been released, Kian turned off the flame again as if he had lost his strength.
I gently stroked Kian’s head, who was looking at me with tired eyes.
“Are you hungry? Shall we eat soup first?”
Kian nodded weakly, and not long after, Andrea came in with the chicken soup I had asked for.
I took the tray in Andrea’s hand and handed it to Sicar.
“Now, Sicar.”
As if he was ready, Sicar took the tray.
But then he took the plate in his hand and walked slowly towards Kian.
A robot would probably walk more humanlike, but Sicar moved stiffly, as if without joints, and stood in front of Kian.
“Let’s eat.”
In a blunt tone, Sicar scooped up the soup on the plate, extended it towards Kian’s face with a smirk.
Although it was a smile, to anyone who saw it, it looked like a wicked grin.
Then Kian clenched his mouth shut and glared at Sicar.
Sicar seemed to look at Kian with dry eyes, not understanding why Kian was looking at him with such an expression.
‘No, I told him to feed while smiling, not to feed while smiling like someone trying to poison him?’
How to deal with this politely mad fellow?
Maybe asking Sicar for a warm smile was too much?
Sure enough, Kian looked at me with worried eyes and asked,
“Ma’am… Can’t you feed me?”
“Do you not like the Duke feeding you?”
“Yes.”
“The Duke wants to apologize for what he said to you a while ago, he wants to make up. That’s why he wants to feed you.”
“I don’t want to eat what the Duke gives.”
Kian was adamant. He seemed to absolutely refuse anything that Sicar gave, and he pulled the blanket up over his head.
Sicar put down the spoon as if he was taken aback.
“He doesn’t know what an honor it is.”
Again, he gets angry. He doesn’t even know how to talk to adults, let alone a child.
In a hurry, I ran over to Sicar and whispered.
“I’ll feed him today.”
When I awkwardly smiled, Sicar handed me the plate as if telling me to do as I like, and he went outside.
I was tense, wondering if he would go on a killing spree like last time, but fortunately, he didn’t say anything like that.
“Shall we eat?”
Kian nodded his head and tried to pick up the spoon with his own hand.
“Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so I’ll feed you.”
Kian shyly lowered his head, timidly opened his mouth, and took the soup that I fed him. Then, as if he had realized something, he looked at me.
“Chicken soup…..”
‘Right, right! This is exactly what chicken soup is, Kian! Now, you can be touched all you want.’
Kian, thinking of his father, shed tears as if longing for him.
I felt bad seeing Kian shedding tears as he must have been so hungry that he couldn’t even cry. But I couldn’t acknowledge it.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Dad… Dad… Whenever I was sick, he would make me chicken soup… Even though the taste is different, it reminds me of my dad….”
Kian managed to eat one spoonful, and he burst into tears, so I couldn’t feed him anymore, and I held him.
I didn’t feed him chicken soup to make him cry, but seeing the child crying sadly, I couldn’t help but shed tears too.
Without letting Kian notice, I wiped my tears and patted the boy’s back.
“I don’t know what the backstory is, but I wish you would forget all the sadness and be happy with me…..”
I had always been thinking like that, so it was a word that came out sincerely. Hoping that my sincerity would reach Kian well, I stroked the boy’s back.
“Thank you….”
From Kian’s stomach, which had stopped crying and sobbing, came a growling sound.
Having cried his heart out, his stomach must be even hungrier now.
“Then, shall we continue eating what we were eating?”
Kian nodded his head, and I fed Kian the soup. Seeing him eat well as if it suited his taste, he looked so pretty.
Indeed, children are angelic beings.
Kian was enjoying the soup, but seeing Kian’s thin body made me feel bad.
“Once your body recovers a bit more, let’s also have some delicious dessert.”
Kian, who had been eating the soup well, suddenly closed his mouth with a gloomy expression.
“Ma’am….”
Kian’s expression was too serious. The boy looked at me with tearful eyes and asked,
“When I finish eating this and fully recover… I’ll have to leave this house, right? You’re going to send me away when I’m all better, aren’t you?”
“No, why would you say that?”
“I heard the maids talking in their sleep. They said that once I’m better, I’ll have to leave the house….”
The maids must have made such comments because they couldn’t imagine that we would adopt Kian.
‘I’ll have to keep the maids’ mouths shut so they don’t say such things again.’
“No, you can stay longer if you want.”
“Really?”
‘Yes, because we’re going to adopt you.’
