The next morning, when I fell asleep with a sad and sad feeling, a quiet, warm awakening awaited me. It was not the dawn's faint light that caused Lihit. The feeling of tickling my cheeks slowly lifted the unconsciousness that was wandering in the slump.
"Good morning, my prince"
Hardened by Fernand's sword, but stroking Licht's cheeks like a soft fingertip tickling. When I lifted my heavy eyelid, I saw a beautiful golden hair that shines through the gap of the curtain into my view.
"It's my first time to wake you up like this because I'm always awakened."
"Yup..."
"I'm sorry, I slept a lot, but I woke up. It's just because you have a customer."
"customer?"
"Yeah, but I don't want to see you sleeping in bed as it is. You know, it's too much... Yeah, I know. Only I need to know what you are. Let's change clothes"
Fernand happily lifted Licht on his knees, stroking his hair with his hands as he smiled. Licht was confused and roughly rubbed his eyes with his palm. I have no idea why Fernand is in a good mood.
"It's good, isn't it? I think I should wake up earlier. But you'll always wake up at dawn. It doesn't seem like you can beat the bird early."
Giggly and laughed at his ears, Lihit became hot in his face. Do you mean yourself as a bird? To compare it to a little creature like that in the blue sky... Fernand is really strange.
After changing clothes, Licht passed through the door leading to the guest room with Fernand pulling his hand. There was Maj. Gen. Noghans I met last night and a man in a white robe next to him.
"My wife, I haven't made an excuse early in the morning...I'm sorry, but I'd like to introduce this person."
As Noghans' eyes gazed, the man in the robe took a step toward Licht. Then, the body, which can be said to be large, is folded in half and a gentle greeting is given.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Ludger Sai, a pharmacist."
"A sushi?"
"Yes. My main business is compounding and prescribing medicines."
Licht looked up at Fernand next to him without confusion and hit his quiet blue eyes.
"A man who prepares such medicines so that you can eat deliciously."
"Is it delicious? Is it necessary?"
Fernand's face clouded sadly for a moment when Lihit's simple questions posed.
"Yes, it's necessary..."
"Fun"
"Rudger is a good pharmacist, so I asked."
Confused, Lihit nodded mysteriously.
"Licht seems to be convinced...I'm counting on you, Rudger."
"It is a great word, Your Highness."
Fernan clearly showed a relieved appearance, and Rihit felt a little uplifting. Looking back, when I was eating with Fernand, I was often asked if it was delicious. Eating delicious food seems to be very important. I'm wondering why I didn't notice it until now. But even if I noticed it, I couldn't help myself until now.
-What kind of feeling is delicious?
Since his birth, Licht has been taught by nannies and doctors as "the food is bad", so he still can't feel good about eating. I always eat thin vegetable soup, so I don't know what the "delicious food" is for.
He began to live with Fernand, and was encouraged to eat a lot of food. But by that time I wasn't sure what the taste was. When I ate vegetable soup a long time ago, I feel that it tasted something. But I can't remember it because it's too far from my memory.
Fernand arrives at the late breakfast table after seeing off the visitors and looks into Licht's face next to him with a strange look.
"Let's wait. It's completely late, but let's have a meal."
"Yup"
I felt that Rihit was in pain at meal time. If you don't taste it, you probably won't eat it. Forcing myself to recommend it made me feel very cruel. But even then, people cannot live without eating. I couldn't afford to live only with drip and medicine.
――Or is it better to stop eating until the treatment is effective?
Fernand was at a loss, but when he remembered the words of Rudger and other doctors that it was important to get used to eating, and when he tried to reach for the plate as usual... thin fingers swung it. It is.
"Today I choose"
"Richt?"
"Which one is Fernand delicious?"
As Lihit looks at the plates on the table one by one, he looks at them one after another.
"Tell me what tastes good. Which is delicious and which is not delicious."
"Richt..."
"I hope the same thing will taste the same, someday. If you find out that it's delicious, I'll definitely be with you. Until then, I want to know which one I think Fernand is delicious."
Fernand was urged to embrace Lihit, but reached out and pulled it.
"Yeah... that's right. I'm with you too, Richt"
I didn't want to make this moment special. From now on, I wanted to make such trivial and affectionate everyday life, so I didn't want to exaggerate it.
I wanted to think that there is something special in everyday life. Therefore, I want to spend my days feeling that little emotion in my heart, warm feelings in my heart. So you don't need a big hug or a thank you word.
"I'm sure you'll hit what you think is delicious. You think this fluffy omelet, soft bread, and fresh fruit are all delicious. And you'll love it."
"So much?"
Lihit's face looked suspiciously, and I looked at the table and Fernand's face alternately, confidently. And shrugged a little.
"Yeah, that's right."
With a small face, she smiles as if she had done it, glancing up at Fernand next door.
"I thought so, because Fernand is always happy to eat and show."
Softly laugh like a flower.
"I thought it was. I thought it was, I thought it was. That's why I think it's delicious. That's why we'll all eat "delicious" with a laugh. It's a matter of course. Fernand and I.''
Licht picked up a packet of white powder on the table. It's a very bitter medicine, but it's easy for him to feel the slightest sweetness. At that time, Lihit opened the packet and put it on his mouth with his fingertips slightly moistened with his tongue.
"Should I drink this everyday? Easy?"
"It really tastes very bitter."
"Yeah, that's right."
Licht seemed to think for a moment, then turned to Fernand with a bright expression that made him think of something wonderful.
"Then I love all the food when I feel bitter and can't drink it!"
When Fernand complained, "Is it all right?", Lihit proudly asserts, "All right!" The breakfast room, which always sounded brightly by Fernand's voice in a bright room, is filled with two bright voices today. It was so natural and seemed to blend into the room, filling Fernand's chest.
