When Vio opened his eyes, all he saw was a blue canopy.

“Master, what a relief. You finally woke up!” Rille cried out in delight, tears in her eyes.

Vio recalled that something like this had happened before.

An unfamiliar man entered his line of sight. The man looked like he was in his late forties, and wore a blue hat and tight-fitting white clothes. He had gray hair and a gentle gaze.

“You’re finally conscious,” the man said. “I am Méliez, the court doctor. You fainted after you hit your head. How do you feel?”

“Haa… I have a headache. A bad one,” Vio replied.

“Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?”

“No.”

“Hmm.”

Méliez scribbled something in the medical records, then asked Vio’s full name. Vio answered easily. Next, the doctor asked him the name of his servant, and finally, stuck his hand out and asked how many fingers he could see.

“Three.”

“Okay, good. Do you have any questions or concerns?”

“Is Princess Liona safe?”

Méliez blinked his blue eyes. At that, Vio became suspicious. “No way, is she…?”

“No, it was just a bit unexpected… Nevermind.” Méliez tried to hide his slip by clearing his throat before continuing, “Princess Liona is not injured. Your protecting her bought enough time for her knight to come back and get rid of the suspicious man. Lord Violant, I believe that after that man struck you, you hit your head on the handrail. There was some blood, but fortunately, the wound was light. I’ve already applied salves. However, the wound might open up if you move too much, so you need to rest for a while.”

“How long?”

“Around three days to a week. Considering Lord Violant’s poor health and the anemia from the blood loss, I recommend you refrain from leaving this room for the whole of tomorrow.”

“I understand.” Vio nodded obediently. But in his heart, he thought the doctor was making too much of a big deal out of just some anemia.

Well, since medical technologies haven’t advanced much, this kind of response is probably normal…

There was no spirit magic for healing injuries, so many people had an extreme reaction when they got injured. Injuries caused by magic were especially grave. Perhaps because of this, surgery techniques were in the midst of development. But most people died from infectious diseases rather than injuries. This was because knowledge of the importance of hygiene was underdeveloped.

Only people who are protected by the Cerulean Spirit Aslair, Princess Liona and Her Majesty, can use healing magic. Though no one knows that since it’s top-secret…

People would probably flood the castle if they knew that the royalty could heal injuries. Perhaps it would destroy the country and rob them of the protection of Cerulean Spirit Aslair. In the manga, there were times when Liona secretly healed Night. Because they shared this secret, their relationship deepened even more.

Istiah has abundant greenery and we can collect various medicinal plants here. Even so, only the Clarina nation has well-developed herbology.

The priests monopolized medical knowledge to maintain the power structure where the citizens respected and were indebted to them.

“Doctor Méliez, was it? Thank you very much.”

“No, this is my job. May I tell His Highness about your condition?”

“Yes. Please also tell him not to worry since I’m fine.”

“I understand.”

Once Méliez left the room, Vio tried to get up. Due to his anemia, his body felt very heavy. Even so, he was awfully thirsty.

Jill quickly supported Vio’s shoulders while saying, “Young Master, please lie down and rest.”

“I’m thirsty. Rille, can you bring me water?”

“Yes! I’ll bring it in a moment,” Rille said, swiftly turning around and leaving the bedroom. 

Vio gave the departing maid a side glance. He asked Jill, “Where’s Legi?”

“After carrying Young Master here, he went to work on that matter. He said he was going to return soon.” Jill’s voice grew quieter as he added, “Please rest assured. Sir Night properly concealed the fact that Young Master and Princess Liona were alone in the balcony. He made up a story that you came to greet them by chance.”

“Got it, so we need to get our stories straight. Then, the reason Legi left me?”

“That’s… I’m very sorry, but the story was that Young Master acted selfishly and told Sir Legion to leave.”

“I don’t mind. There’s already a lot of bad rumors about me, what’s one more? It’s better than letting an unmarried princess get gossiped on. What about that suspicious man?” Just as Vio finished asking, Legion entered the bedroom. Behind him, Rille was carrying a tray with a jug of water and a glass on it.

“We caught him. He’s in the middle of an interrogation.”

Vio quenched his thirst with the water Rille brought. He then asked, in a low voice so as not to be overheard, “I don’t think this is the case, but is it possible that my older brother is involved?”

If we’re following the development of the manga, there’s a high possibility that that man is my brother’s subordinate… Just when did Princess Liona embarrass him? If I knew she had done that, I would’ve taken some measures.

Vio had believed it wasn’t time for that yet so he’d been too laid-back. Now they were in this situation.

Legion’s face immediately grew tense. “It’s still unclear for now, but… do you know something?”

“If I’m wrong, then that’s fine. It’s just that I had a dream…”

It sounded like a lame excuse, but it unexpectedly worked. Infrequently, spirits would enter the dreams of humans and beastmen alike to give them wisdom. As expected of a fantasy world.

Legion sighed in relief. “Is that so? It’s alright, Lord Violant.”

“Yeah… But it’s really been one thing after another since I came to the royal capital. I’m sorry for troubling you so much.”

Legion spoke with a terrible expression on his face, “What are you saying, Lord Violant. Running around isn’t too much for me. What pains me is that Lord Violant got injured. That’s why, please rest properly.”

Vio returned the glass to Rille and beckoned Legion. Puzzled, Legion kneeled beside Vio’s bed. Vio extended his hand towards the knight’s head and ruffled his hair.

“W-what are you doing?”

“Judging from your personality, you must be feeling responsible for leaving my side, right? I was the one who ordered you to pick up my notes. I’m the one who was unlucky. Understand?”

“No!” Hair still a mess, Legion replied with his lips drawn tight. 

Vio glared at Legion. “What? You’re talking back at me?”

“Uhh, but…!”

“I guess this can’t be helped. Then as punishment, stand guard over me tonight. You won’t be able to sleep anyway, so just stay here.”

“Lord Violant…”

Vio hadn’t said anything too outrageous, but for some reason, Legion turned blue as if he was being strangled. 

Jill and Rille also looked at Legion in puzzlement. Jill asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Then it should be alright, shouldn’t it? I’ll leave the guarding to you,” Jill said before bowing. He then left the tray of water on a side table and left the room.

Legion stood frozen, looking at a loss. 

Vio smiled wryly. “Legi… I’m sorry.”

“What…?”

“I didn’t expect you to be this depressed. You don’t want to look at my face, right?”

“That’s absurd! I just couldn’t calm down, so please don’t worry,” Legion answered, speaking so fast it was clear that he was panicking. 

Vio blinked. “You can’t calm down?”

“Yes. Rather, I don’t know how those two can stay calm when they’re alone with you.”

“Sorry, I don’t follow.”

He must be talking about Jill and Rille when he said ‘those two’. But what did he mean by ‘staying calm’?

“Sometimes, you say things I really don’t understand. Well, as long as you’re fine. By the way, how is Princess Liona’s condition?”

“She was worried about Lord Violant, but other than that, she was calm as usual. She’s frighteningly composed for a woman.”

“You’re right. A lady of character must be someone like her, right?”

As a fan of the manga, Vio was happy that Legi supported the heroine. As Vio nodded enthusiastically, Legion’s brow furrowed and he opened his mouth. “Lord Violant, please take a rest. If you can’t sleep, shall I bring you something to supplement your nutrition?”

“No, I’m not hungry. It’s okay,” Vio said. He was just about to lie down when he heard a sudden commotion in the living room. Vio stopped moving. “What on earth is it this time…”

Vio hoped no one would blame him for reflexively complaining. As he was praying to God to let him rest, the bedroom door opened.

There his older brother Rupheus was, with an angry look on his face. Just like on that day.
