When I returned to the room, carried by Eustaf, there was a commotion. However, Ran explained that it was simply a fever.
"As expected, you've been overdoing it lately."
"That's right. You should get some rest."
Ran smiled awkwardly as the maids took turns to respond.
"I don't think it's too much."
"Why don't you overdo it when you work late at night?"
Soda opened her eyes wide and said protesting. Dimodia nodded.
"The Lord is a workaholic."
As soon as Dimodia tried to protest, Ross pulled out a sword and blocked Ran. Dimodia also swerved.
Ran was surprised and Soda. And it was Kara.
"Oh, not defenseless this time."
Ran stretched her shoulders as she heard a voice over the window.
"Haresh, can you please go through the front door?"
"It's annoying that I can't meet you right away."
At Haresh's words, Ran groaned and Ross grumbled and put the sword in and opened the window. Haresh suddenly looked at his armor as he entered the room. He frowned.
"I feel bad about it."
Before Ross said anything, Ran said quickly.
"Dwarf's armor."
"Oh, I'd like you to move away."
After saying so, Haresh came to Ran and looked away.
"Is the patient you?"
"No, it's another patient."
Eustaf spoke politely to Haresh.
"Since you're here, I'd appreciate it if you could watch."
"If you're sick, I'm in trouble."
Haresh said so, reached out and touched Ran's forehead, pressed slightly under her eyes, and grabbed her wrist again. And lastly, he pressed her upper abdomen hard and Ran made a "tight" duck's final sound.
"Is it hurt?"
"Of course, it hurts!"
Haresh nodded as Ran screamed.
"You're under a lot of stress, I don't know what it is. Why don't you get some rest?"
"I don't know if I'm so stressed..."
"The body doesn't lie."
Haresh said so and reached out, and Soda capably handed over pens and paper. Haresh wrote down the prescription and threw it out to Ran.
"It's just a temporary measure. I don't like patients who don't listen."
"Aha ha ha..."
Ran smiled awkwardly and took a prescription and handed it to Dimodia.
"I'll have the doctor build it like this."
Dimodia said so and left the room in a cheerful mood. Ran got up from her seat and said,
"Then shall we go see a real patient?"
"I'll show you around."
Ran was embarrassed when Eustaf took a step forward.
"Huh? Eus? But..."
"Don't you believe me?"
"No, it's not that, but...wouldn't it be better for me to be familiar with it?"
"Noonim is resting. Of course."
When Eustaf gestured to Haresh, Haresh frowned briefly and said to Ran.
"I'll be back."
And the two left the room in a haphazard manner, Ran muttering quietly, "Will it be okay ······?"
********
"Are you sure Noonim's okay?"
Walking down the long hallway, Eustaf asked and Haresh nodded.
"Yes, I think it's too much these days. Considering the amount of work, she does, I'm glad it's that much."
"I see."
Haresh glanced at another human.
"I've learned a little about humans."
"That's why it's this big.'
I didn't know whether it was just this much or this much admiration when I looked into human beings.
Haresh ignored Eustaf's words and said, Like an elf.
"From what I've seen, I think it's time to start talking."
"What do you mean?"
"You want a medicine that weakens the body slowly, the same story."
When Eustaf stopped walking at the word, he quickly asked.
"If I tell you, will you give it to me?"
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm not being serious. The blue eyes looked at him emotionally, so Haresh felt strange.
"Killing doesn't make medicine."
"If so."
Eustaf said so and went back and started walking. The difference between a medicine and a poison is a piece of paper, shadow and light. It can't fall apart.
Since the history of poison is the history of politics and revenge, Haresh knew many of those stories.
'Not really.'
If he wanted that, he wouldn't ask himself to check on Ran. I'm definitely a doctor on Ran's side.
'Oh, my God. Am I too much of a human being?'
Haresh kicked his tongue because he laughed at himself. The reason why I thought of Eustaf is simple. I was wondering if he was hurting Ran.
That is, indeed, he is on the side of Ran.
'You're too deeply involved.'
Haresh thought so and saw Eustaf. Arriving in front of Lily's room, Eustaf grabbed the doorknob and looked back at him and said slowly.
"I value her very much."
A deep smile hung around Eustaf's mouth.
"She's very precious."
And Haresh opened the door before he could say anything.
Lumiere, who was sitting on the sofa, woke up as if he had been waiting. Lumiere who saw Eustaf and Haresh, looked slightly beyond as if he were looking for someone, and Eustaf said with a slight displeasure.
"I came instead because Noonim was sick." "I see."
Lumiere answered politely. As soon as the door opened, Haresh was frowning as he could and said.
"What about the patient?"
"That way."
Pointing to the bedroom, Lumiere guided. Haresh, who grabbed the bedroom door handle, said.
"Don't come in. You smell."
Lumiere paused in embarrassment, but Haresh went inside. Lumiere unknowingly lifted his arm and smelled it.
It's been a long time since he felt ashamed of what he said, so his face turned red.
If you're at the bottom, don't wash. I can't. So, it's natural to smell, and that doesn't come as a shame. But it hasn't been long since I've been treated like a human being, and I can't believe I'm ashamed of his sense of humor.
'But it doesn't smell!'
Lumiere put up with what he wanted to protest without realizing it.
"You may leave the door open."
At Lumiere's words, Haresh nodded and saw Lily getting up in embarrassment from her bed.
"Oppa...?"
The big, pointed-eared man looked at him with eyes mixed with curiosity and fear, as he could see that he was not a human at all.
Haresh briefly said.
"I'm a doctor."
"Oh!"
Only then did Lily think of the Elf doctor that Ran had told her.
"Sure."
Seeing that the alert had eased, Haresh immediately grabbed Lily's face. She flinched, but Lily remained calm as he held her.
After looking around for a long time, Haresh stepped back with his arms folded. The reaction was not good, so Lumiere swallowed his saliva.
"I can't fix this."
Lily's mouth was wide open. Lumiere clenched his teeth without realizing it.
In front of Lily!
"Here."
Haresh added and frowned.
"Is there a possibility if I take her to Elf village? It'll take a while."
"How long does it take?"
When asked by Eustaf, Haresh looked around Lily's head and murmured.
"One to three years? I can't say anything because of the big deviation."
Eustaf nodded at the words and said in a relaxed voice.
"Then I'll take action to get the two of you to go together"
"No."
Haresh just stopped talking. He frowned as much as he could and said, looking back at Lumiere.
"If he's a patient, he can't. Just being around him makes me feel defrauded with Phoebe Linnae. Did the executioner do that? It's a smell more ingrained than that."
Lumiere's face has hardened. Eustaf said calmly.
"If it's murder, I do it, too."
"Not like you."
He spoke straight and Haresh continued.
"Anyway, this disease needs healing, not on human land. It's a big deal just to take him. And that guy too? That's ridiculous."
Lily got out of Haresh's hands and quickly ran to Lumiere and hugged him.
"No, I don't want to be away from Oppa!"
"Lily..."
Lumiere made a difficult face. Lily said sobbingly.
"No, no, no. I'll be with you. I don't want to be alone again."
Lumiere coaxed his crying sister. He looked up and said, looking at Haresh.
"Is there any other way?"
"Maybe we can extend your lives. Half a year? A year?"
Lily cried out with a flicker.
"You, you're lying. I'm less sick now."
"Right now, for a moment. You were in a bad environment and moved, so you feel better now. It will get worse soon."
Haresh's words were inconsiderate and outspoken. He said so.
"I don't care what choice you make. But if you're going to tell me, tell me quickly."
He glanced out the window and said.
"Tomorrow night, by this time."
And Elf muttered something, and it must have been a curse.
"Then I'll go."
Then he opened the window and went out.
'It must have been hard to bear.'
Eustaf felt amazing. Smell? I have no idea. And a little bit of displeasure.
It was a little unpleasant to think that you might also be read in that way in some other way.
Eustaf said, closing the window that Haresh had opened.
"Then shall we talk for a moment?"
Lumiere replied, "All right." and pushed Lily off her shoulder..
"Lily, let me talk to him for a second."
"No!"
"Lily."
At Lumiere's awkward tone, Lily flinched and quickly slapped her hand.
"Are, are you just going to talk?"
"Yes, I'll be right back. Really."
Lumiere spoke several times and took Lily back to bed before leaving the bedroom.
In the meantime, Eustaf was sitting on the living room couch. Lumiere didn't sit but stood across the street.
"What did Ran say to you?"
Lumiere flinched at Eustaf's straightforward question. After a while, Lumiere said.
"If Ms. Lan didn't say it, there's no reason to say it."
Eustaf looked at Lumiere with an expressionless face. Lumiere looked directly into the eyes.
I'm rather used to those eyes. Eyes like looking at things.
"Ran asked you to take the Knights' test."
Lumiere was rather surprised at the words. Seeing the slightly shaky eyes, Eustaf realized that he didn't really ask for it.
Then, my irritation soared more. Without revealing it, Eustaf rose from his seat and spoke in a smooth tone.
"You can come out for a test if you want. Tests are strict, and they can kill you or hurt you."
"Let's see."
"Then let's meet tomorrow at 6 a.m. On the field."
"Yes."
After answering, Lumiere bowed and Eustaf left the room without saying a word while watching it.
******
Ran enjoyed the late morning after a long time. Having a brunch and a leisurely cup of tea, she almost spewed out the tea she was drinking as soon as Lumiere entered the drawing room.
"Lumiere?!"
When Ran jumped out of her seat, Lumiere smiled with a cute smile, frowned slightly at the wound and smiled again.
"I didn't expect you to be so surprised."
"What's wrong with your face?"
"I'm here to tell you I passed."
"Huh? What?"
"The knights."
"Really? Did they test you?"
"Yes."
"Good for you."
When I saw Ran laughing, the smile slowly erased from Lumiere's face. His mouth opened slightly and closed, and he smiled again and said.
"Thanks to my master."
"Thanks to Lumiere's hard work. How did it go with Haresh yesterday? I'm sorry I couldn't go with you."
"No."
Lumiere bowed his head and delivered Haresh's words, and Ran sighed loudly.
"Really? Lumiere must feel bad for it. You've been seeing Lily for a long time. What does she say? Don't she say she won't go?"
"I convinced her."
"I see...."
Ran smiled bitterly.
"I can't help it. But you can meet again when you're healthy."
"I said the same thing."
"It's sad for some reason if the child becomes too mature."
"Yes"
Lumiere answered concisely, and Ran nodded.
"But Haresh is an Elf, so he won't lie, and he'll be nice to Lily. I'll ask him, too."
"Thank you."
Lumiere said so and asked cautiously.
"Cost is-"
"Oh, the Elves don't trade in human currency anyway. It's okay. I'm going to pay for it."
"Don't worry, don't worry," Ran waved.
"You are a generous master."
Lumiere said so and bend one knee in front of her.
"So..."
Ran, who was going to say, "It's not like a master," felt suspicious when Lumiere pushed out his inner hair.
"Don't you touch me?"
"Um-"
It's like seeing a big dog acting cute. Ran patted him on the head. Lumiere said after squinting and laughing.
"Then you're going to be my master, right?"
"Lumiere"
"That's what I want."
Ran thought for a moment and sighed and said,
"You'll do it for half a year."
"Half a year?"
"Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen after that."
She said so and smiled faintly.
Lumiere grabbed her wrist slightly and kissed her on the back of her hand. His fingers scattered around the inner arm.
Ran said "Wow." As he pulled his hand out, Lumiere whispered.
"Let me do anything, Master."
Ran said,
"Then stop with the master first. And let's get treated."
Ran said so and pulled the cord to call the doctor.
When I saw Lumiere being treated by a doctor, I was lost in thought.
'So, can we talk to Eustaf and Blaine and ask him to escort me? It was hard for Ross to do all my escorts anyway. Or send Ross back. ··········· Ah, isn't it good to, see? I don't want him to look like he's filling me in.'
Ran sighed while thinking about this and that.
