"Pfft"
lapiz laughed a little, the kitchen maids and the chef were confused with lapiz's sudden response
"Haha!"
She laughed again while covering her mouth with her hands
"don't worry, the food is really delicious"
She looked at them and saw both the chef and the maids sighing in relief. Sebastian gave lapiz water, said the chef and maids to go back.
"that's enough, go back you all"
all of them left while lily and Sebastian stayed in the room, lapiz wanted to walk rather than sleep more she looked at Sebastian and cleared her throat
"Can i go outside this room"?
She asked while tilting her head, Sebastian glanced at lily
"yes my lady, you can, but we must wait till the doctor comes"
lily answered her question calmly, lapiz looked outside the huge window, although she could only see the bright sky
"When will the doctor come"?
She asked lily, for this question it was Sebastian who answered
"the doctor will be here any moment, as we called him when my lady was sleeping"
right after Sebastian said this, a knock from the door came
"sir Edward is here"
a maid's voice came through it
"let him in"
Sebastian said while looking back, both lily and lapiz also looked at the big door, through it came a man who had black hair which was shaded with white,
he was wearing glasses and a white long coat, there was also a box in his hands and a Stethoscope which was hanging in his neck
'Huh! What is a stethoscope doing in the ancient times'.
lapiz thought to herself, sir Edward came forward lapiz and bowed
"it is my honor to meet the last vassal of the lazuli's, my name is Edward i am currently the lazuli's personal doctor"
he stood straight and waited for lapiz's response
"nice to meet you, i am lapiz lazuli"
she answered while slowly glancing at Sebastian
"if my lady doesn't mind, can i please check how my lady's body is currently"
Edward waited for lapiz's response, Sebastian moved from the bed and stood on the corner with lily, lapiz nodded and sat straight,
Edward approached lapiz and sat on the chair, he put the stethoscope in his ears and started checking lapiz's heart beat. After a while, he put aside his tools and stood up both Sebastian and lily were waiting for an answer from Edward while lapiz wanted to know if she can go out.
"So can i go out"?
Lapiz asked the doctor who just stood up, Edward looked at lapiz and started speaking
"yes, you can do so, however"
he stopped there, lily was nervous with the sudden stop and grabbed the butler hand
"However"?
Lapiz asked while titling her head
"however, it might take a while"
lily sighed in relief while Sebastian stood straight as if he already knew what the result was gonna be
"Why"?
Lapiz asked another question, Edward cleared his throat and started explaining things
"although this is already expected, my lady has not moved an inch in the last 22 years which is why you are having trouble moving your hands and legs"
"this is also the reason you can't control your body or feel it sometimes"
lapiz had a very troubled face, she could say it with just one look that Edward is very straightforward
"then how much time will it takes for me to fully recover"
she asked while still keeping her troubled face
"it usually takes three or two months for my lady to walk for freely without help, but to fully recover it take up to 5 or 6 months"
lapiz lost all her hope and looked at the window again
'i guess i am going to be stuck in this bed for a while'
she thought to herself while Edward continued speaking
"i suggest that my lady start walking today itself with the help of the maids and also use your hands more often"
Sebastian held the lapiz's hand and helped her lay on the bed, lily took lapiz's leg and rested it on the bed
'i can't believe the mighty me is in this situation'
lapiz rested on the bed while lily and Sebastian escorted the doctor outside

"Hey heajun what do you want to be after this"?
A girl with long light brown hair asked heajun who was typing something on the computer
"Hmm i don't know, maybe use this money to go to Denmark"?
heajun responded while shrugging
"then i will come with you"
the girl responded with a bright smile
"what? didn't you wanna become a doctor"
heajun said while looking at the girl
"i will put that dream aside for you"
she said with a giggle, heajun sighed and again continued doing her work
"after all you are more important than a stupid dream"
she said while looking at what heajun was righting
"hey promise me that we would never be separated by a stupid dream or anything"
she asked heajun who suddenly stopped typing in the computer
"i promise that nothing will separate us"
heajun looked at the girl and smiled brightly for a while she could see the girl's eyes while was bright green

lapiz opened her eyes all to know that the thing she saw was a dream of her past life
"..."
she remained silent
'i guess that promise was never gonna be true'
she raised her hand and looked at it
'i am sorry iseaul, i failed the promise we kept for years'
a tear was flowing through lapiz's eyes she bit her lips and clenched her hands
'would it have been different if i never take that mission'
she lowered her hands and opened and looked at the long window
'will it have been different if i never asked you to help me'
she closed her eyes
"will it have been different if you were the one who became lapiz than me"?
