As Zagnac walked away, he saw Livia and stopped and called for her. Livia was taken aback when he called her by her first name without being polite though she didn’t seem to be arguing about such trifles now.

“If you call, can the imperial doctor come right here? I called my doctor, but I thought it would take a while to come.”

She quickly nodded at his question. Even if she was a princess who was ignored by the Imperial Family, she was also a member of the Imperial Family, so she could easily call the imperial doctor.

“I will have him come right away. It will be even better than Ferial family’s doctor.”

“I will leave it to you.”

With his request, she lowered her gaze to see Azela in his arms. Seeing her shivering white, Livia turned her body and ran without delay in order to order the low-ranking knight who came with her to call the imperial doctor.

“Hang in there.”

Seeing Livia’s back as she ran so fast as if she was about to fall, Zagnac whispered softly to Azela and hurried his steps toward her bedroom.

There was nothing that he, the devil, could do for her. The minor wounds could be treated, although he could not be involved in wounds that were so serious that her life was threatened because he could not be directly involved in human life and death.

“…I’m okay.”

A faint voice came from her mouth.

Those words became a shackle, and Zagnac stopped walking for a moment. As he gazed at her with trembling purple eyes, Azalea was still weeping in pain with her eyes closed. Her little body trembled incessantly.

Nevertheless…

“I’m okay.”

She kept saying she was fine, not for her, but for him. Seeing that, Zagnac clenched his teeth. He was ashamed of himself for not taking care of her first and losing his reason, going on a rampage.

Zagnac replied in a low voice.

“…You’re not okay.”

It was a conversation they had once. Even then, as she said she was okay and he said she wasn’t okay, he couldn’t understand why humans would say they were fine when they weren’t. Like now, Azela smiled and replied that she was okay when she was not okay.

He didn’t know then. He just couldn’t understand humans.

Still.

“…But say you’re okay.”

He seemed to know now.

The ‘it’s okay’ she spat out was not for her, but for the other person. It was a word that comforted and soothed him. Zagnac frowned as he took another step with Azela’s drooping body. Strangely, his mind became even more restless.

As his footsteps got faster and faster, he was already running towards the bedroom.

“…It’s okay, you’ll be okay.”

Zagnac murmured softly. He didn’t know whom he was talking to, but he kept repeating it over and over again. With Azela swaying in her arms, limp from his running, he reached the bedroom before placing her down.

He breathed heavily. It wasn’t because he ran all the way to the bedroom. It was because his breath was choked when he thought if she had disappeared during the run.

“I’m sorry.”

Zagnac fell onto his knees and caught Azela’s right hand as she lay unconscious.

“I… I cannot eat you.”

After that, there was nothing he could do.

He held Azela’s hand until the doctor came and was only looking for God. The people who were looking for God every time something happened looked incompetent and funny, but when he actually did something like that, he burst into laughter.

He was just an incompetent human until Livia ran into the bedroom with the imperial doctor.

“…It will be fine.”

Shortly after the imperial doctor came in, the Ferial family doctor, called by Bahraf, also arrived. The two doctors were horrified by Azela’s condition, but they said nothing more than they saw Zagnac, who was whiter than her.

“It will be fine. I heard that suturing the person whose leg was cut off was also successful.”

Livia, who had approached the restless Zagnac, looked at his bluish face and comforted him.

She didn’t ask who made Azela that way or what happened, but she seemed to comfort him first now. It was because he, who was so strong and always had fun like a bystander in everything, looked so precarious as if he was about to collapse.

“Ha.”

Zagnac let out his long, endured breath at Livia’s console before raising his trembling hands and covering his face. He couldn’t even guess what expression he was having now. He couldn’t help but let himself be seen collapsing like this.

Zagnac, covering his face with his palms, slipped his fingers open and saw Azela lying on the bed.

“Princess.”

“Yes, please tell me.”

“The cuts are deep, and there is a risk of infection over time. If we suture the wound and be careful not to cause secondary infection, there’s no risk of a big problem. It is fortunate that the cut on the back is shallow, and the back of the hand, which has a deep wound, does not damage blood vessels or bones, so daily life is possible after the treatment period.”

“Any other problems?”

“She lost a lot of blood, so her body temperature dropped a lot, though fortunately, the blood stopped quickly, so I don’t think there will be any major problems.”

With the doctor’s words, Livia nodded and looked at Zagnac. Exhaling a sigh of relief, she said with a look that said, ‘Look, I said it would be okay.’

“However, if you wait longer than this, there are cases where the infection becomes dangerous, so you have to start treatment right away without waiting for the time for the anesthesia to spread.”

Zagnac’s relieved expression crumpled again at the doctor’s words that followed. In the end, it meant that Azela would have to endure greater pain than the time when she was cut.

“Can’t you wait a little while after putting the anesthetic?”

“It is, of course, a choice. If you wait until the anesthesia spreads and she doesn’t get infected, there won’t be a problem.”

“….”

“Still, if the treatment is delayed and infection develops in the meantime… her life would be in danger. I would not choose the latter.”

Hearing the imperial doctor’s reply, Zagnac turned his head and looked at the Ferial family’s doctor. While his gaze was expecting another answer, there were no other options for him either.

“I have the same opinion.”

Zagnac frowned, not wanting Azela to go through that pain again, as his quivering eyes turned to her, who lay exhausted and unconscious on her bed.

In the meantime, sad times passed.

“Let’s do the first opinion.”

Livia, who held his arm lightly, stepped out in front of him and uttered firmly. Zagnac looked like he didn’t like her decision, but Livia remained adamant.

“People have to live. Thinking about it, wouldn’t it be better for Miss Bellasta to live than not being hurt?”

Her words were correct.

The two doctors looked at him and nodded their heads at the comment. That meant that they agreed.

He couldn’t help it because it was better to live than not to be hurt. In the end, when Zagnac let out a disapproving look and nodded his head, the doctors rushed to prepare the treatment. In an instant, the bedroom became busy.

“The two of you, please leave. It doesn’t look good, she’s going to be in quite a bit of pain.”

“Please don’t let her get sick.”

Livia nodded her head to the doctor’s words and gave a request, and turned her body around. However, Zagnac still stood firm in his place.

“Duke Ferial?”

“I will stay here.”

“…But it may not look good.”

“That’s fine. I’ll be here, so hurry up and treat her.”

With his resolute expression, the imperial doctor glanced at Livia bewilderedly. He was saying implicitly to take him out, but she didn’t say anything. Seeing Zagnac looking at Azela with worried eyes, Livia said, ‘Leave Duke Ferial alone and do your thing,’ before leaving the bedroom.

“Then, I will be here.”

The doctor sighed and immediately began treatment. Seeing Azela’s back lying on her side, he first cleaned and sterilized it, then cut off the fabric covering the wound on her back with the scissors they had prepared. When the cloth was cut, the exposed wound was quite wide.

It would obviously scar, and she couldn’t wear a fine dress with a low back now.

Zagnac sighed and shook his head.
