The Duke of Mosteros’s residence was in unprecedented disarray.
The employees were on edge, fearing they might make a mistake, and Dr. Melson, who had gone out in the afternoon, had returned to the mansion and stood before the ominous stares.
He repeatedly stroked his throat, trying his best not to tremble.
“When will consciousness return?”
“It appears that there’s not only shock to the eardrums but also the head. Her nutritional state was already a mess, and she was weak from the accident, so we have to watch when she will regain consciousness after this shock….”
“Argh.”
Lielo, who still couldn’t calm her excitement, threatened the resident physician in the form of a wolf.
Briel, who had already humanized, pulled Lielo and caressed under her chin to calm her down.
Melson felt a cold sweat run down his spine and awkwardly twisted his lips into a smile.
“She has to wake up soon.”
Mikaela cautiously stroked El’s hand, watching Lapellian’s face.
Lapellian had been staring at El with a cold expression, saying nothing since earlier.
His pride seemed to be hurt.
‘After all, I feel the same….’
For Lapellian, who had a strong sense of responsibility, the being he had brought himself had become like this, so he must have been quite upset. Especially since he had never been fond of this situation.
Mikaela continually brushed her small, feverish hands that seemed ready to burst, and asked Melson a question.
“Can we check her hearing when she wakes up?”
“Yes, I think so.”
Melson answered, wiping the sweat that had flowed down to his jaw with his sleeve.
“What about recovery?”
“At first, the eardrums are not intact, so there may be tinnitus or hearing loss, but it should recover over time.”
“Will the hearing fully recover?”
Lapellian’s eyes met Melson’s at the news of a possible hearing problem.
In the gaze of Lapellian’s icy eyes, Melson inadvertently gulped and blinked.
“We’ll have to watch for that. There may be aftereffects.”
As soon as Melson’s words ended, the corner of the bed’s head that Lapellian was holding shattered.
Briel and Lielo instinctively scampered far away.
“Lapel.”
Mikaela let out a small sigh and stroked Lapellian’s back.
“Melson, you have to treat her properly.”
“Of course. Ah, it might be good to ask for advice or help from Serjeguk. They are a country with many priests and magicians unlike our Aselion, and a nation advanced in magical tools.”
“Ah. The Terlon Empire… I remember now.”
Mikaela’s hand, which had been stroking Lapellian’s back, stopped.
The Aselion Empire had few priests or magicians due to the characteristics of the beastmen.
Beastmen were born with physical abilities far superior to humans, and some highranking nobles even had special abilities, so they didn’t need to learn magic.
Most of the priests were believers in warlike gods, so there were more battle priests than healing priests.
In contrast, the Terlon Empire was a humanbuilt country with almost no beastmen.
So they used various methods to strengthen their weak bodies and overcome limitations.
As a result, the Terlon Empire was especially prominent in the development of magic and divine power.
“Big sister, she must be completely cured.”
“You have connections there. You’ll have to contact them. Melson, you’ll have to stay in the mansion for a while.”
“I shall do so.”
“Go and rest for now. You’ve worked hard at this late hour.”
“It’s nothing. It’s my duty as the resident physician of the Mosteros family. I’ll take my leave now.”
Melson quickly left the room, as if he was running away from a fire.
He looked like he was fleeing from sparks.
“I’ll be here. Big sister, you must be tired from the long journey, so you should rest now.”
“Alright. Do that.”
Mikaela didn’t particularly protest.
She took the twins, who had been pushed into the corner by Lapellian’s momentum, and left the room.
Left alone with El, Lapellian sat by the bedside, blaming himself.
‘I should have held on, even if it was by force.’
Lapellian wiped the sweat that had collected on El’s forehead with a soft cloth, deep in thought.
“Now what should I do with you? I can’t send you back to such a place.”
Though she probably couldn’t go back anyway.
At the moment, a crackdown operation was unfolding on the thieves’ den at an unseemly hour. Perhaps it would be somewhat settled by tomorrow morning.
Now the girl had no place to go at all.
“Simply solving the problem of food and shelter won’t do.”
Lapellian dried the towel, clasped his hands over his legs, and snapped his fingers.
‘Instead of repaying her kindness, I’ve caused her great embarrassment through a wrong judgment. What would be the right way to take responsibility?’
“Simply solving the consciousness issue is unsatisfactory in many ways. A definite way to take responsibility…….”
The result of one missed opportunity was tragic.
It was also a matter of pride for a member of the Mosteros family.
Once you regain what you’ve lost, you become more obsessed with it.
