42 – cold.

Adilun willingly gave up his horn. The large horns growing on her small face were clearly visible at a glance, shining softly in bluish white.

“Are you really okay?”

“Yeah. It’s a horn anyway, so my senses are weak, so it’s okay.”

“then… … Excuse me.”

I gently reached out and touched her large bluish-white antlers. I expected it to feel a little rough because it was a horn, but it was completely different.

The smooth texture of the horn came through my hand vividly.

Feeling curious as it didn’t feel harsh at all, I stroked her horns with my hand. Quite addictive to the touch, I involuntarily concentrated my whole mind on her horns.

I felt like I finally understood why Princess Lobelia wanted to touch this horn so much.

“eww… … It’s okay.”

In an instant, a strange sound came out of Adilun’s mouth, and she grabbed my hand.

“Well? Why?”

“Hey, leave this for a second.”

She grabbed my hand and pulled me down. Then I could see her face. I see her face turning red like I’ve never seen before.

“Adilun? where does it hurt Aren’t you catching a cold?”

I panicked and checked her condition. Even if she had the dragon’s bloodline, her body wasn’t as strong as the dragon’s yet.

So I hurriedly put my hand on her forehead.

Quite hot heat travels through her hands, and you can see her visibly flustered.

“Oh, no. It’s not a cold. never.”

“No matter how you look at it, it looks like a cold… … Let’s talk about the social gathering tomorrow. You should get a good rest today.”

“Because it’s not!”

She screamed and looked at me again with a sorry look on her face.

“Mi, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scream. yes. But I really don’t feel sick.”

“But your face is too red for that… … .”

“I was just, I was just embarrassed.”

“I remember that when Princess Lobelia touched her, she didn’t even move… … .”

“Wow, because the case is different from the princess.”

“Is the case different?”

“Think about it. Eh, first of all, as you said, I need to go back to my room and get some rest. Let’s talk about the social gathering tomorrow!”

After she said that, she moved toward her room with quick steps that surprised even me.

… … Are you ashamed? Did I make a big mistake?

I started to panic at the thought that she might alienate me again.

This, I need to apologize ASAP.

* * *

My face was hot. I locked the door and grabbed my face.

I felt something, something strange. I just touched the horn, but at the same time I feel quite ashamed… … My whole body started to heat up.

Obviously, when Princess Lobelia touched it, I didn’t feel anything like this, but why? Even then, the situation was similar. Princess Lobelia, who wanted to touch the horns out of curiosity, similarly fiddled with my horns a little and was amazed, and I didn’t pay much attention to them either.

By the way… … Why does this sensation spread throughout my body when he touches me?

I stretched out on the bed, hugging myself and calming myself down. However, the body did not calm down easily.

It was because the situation and the sensations from just now kept disturbing me.

When Physis reached out and stroked my horn, he caressed it as if he were treating the most precious thing in the world.

I was worried that I might break it, but slowly, I stroked my horn… … Strangely, from then on, shame welled up, and my body started to heat up.

I can’t. Let’s cool down a bit.

I opened the door to the terrace and started to breathe in the cold air. As the cold wind hit my body, it was only then that my body began to calm down a little.

“ha… … .”

I sighed. showed an unsightly appearance. Even shaking hands and screaming. I should have explained the contents of the social gathering as soon as possible.

There was a lot of information he needed to know about social gatherings.

To him, who is ignorant of the northern aristocratic society, every little bit of information could be a shield that reduces the distance from biting him… … .

Even tomorrow, apologize to him and explain the social gathering in detail.

My body was hot and my head was heavy.

“eww… … .”

A painful moan escaped from his mouth, and his stomach was bloated and uncomfortable. A burning pain ran through his body.

At that moment, the door opened and Mina entered.

“miss. Time to cough… … miss?”

Mina must have noticed that my condition was strange,

He immediately ran to me and checked my condition.

The cold hand on my forehead made me feel a little more at ease.

“Oh my God, the fever… … . Wait a minute, lady!”

Mina quickly left my room. It wasn’t long before it got busy outside and my father and the family doctor came into my room.

“Adilon. Are you okay?”

“eww… … .”

The sinking, cracked voice was not very good even to think about it. The attending physician looked at my condition for a while, then addressed my father.

“You caught a pretty bad cold. Take a good rest and eat something warm. Please refrain from using magic. It will take a toll on your body.”

“Yeah… … .”

a bad cold It must have been because he had been overdoing it recently. After the National Foundation Day, paying attention to Yeongjijeon, practicing magic… … . The things about Physis kept messing with my head and kept me awake at night.

social… … I have to explain. I think this is a bit overkill.

I drank the warm soup brought by Mina, took the bitter medicine prescribed by my doctor, and fell asleep on its own.

After completing the training, I could feel that the castle had become even more noisy. I wondered what the hell was going on, so I grabbed a maid passing by and asked.

“Adiluun has a cold?”

“Yeah. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t usually do small things… … . You must be very tired these days.”

As soon as I heard that, I immediately headed to Adirun’s room.

Outside the door, Mina was standing upright, and she looked at me and said.

“Ah, Sir Physis. What did you come for?”

“I heard that Adilun has a bad cold… … .”

“Are you visiting the hospital?”

“yes.”

“It’s just fine. I also had to leave for a while because of the lady’s medicine. I know it’s a rude request, but could you please stay by my lady’s side, Sir Physis.”

“I get it.”

“thank you. Just open the door and go in. The lady is sleeping soundly right now, so please go inside carefully.”

I nodded and opened the door.

When I opened the door and went in, I saw Adirun, who was soundly asleep, just like Mina said. I took a chair next to him and sat still.

I guess it was me that made her catch a cold. From the moment my face turned red, I felt something strange.

As I was looking at her with apologetic feelings, she suddenly let out an excited moan and began to suffer.

“eww… … eww.”

Just in case, I put my hand on her forehead, and the forehead was as hot as a ball of fire. I moistened the small cloth beside me with water and placed it on her forehead.

“Mu, water… … .”

Then she suddenly opened her eyes and started looking for water.

I checked the water jug next to me and poured the water from the jug into a small cup and put it into her mouth.

Hearing a gurgling sound, Adyllun, feeling much more at ease, fell back to sleep.

When someone is sick, just being by their side is reassuring.

Even though she is sleeping, it would be much more relieved if there was someone holding her hand when she was awake in pain for a moment.

You may hate that I am by your side.

Anyway, when will Mina come?

It won’t take long to take the medicine.

Well, maybe something else happened. I didn’t have anything to do anyway, so I had to stay by Adilun’s side and take care of her.

It’s painful.

The severe cold that I have been experiencing for the first time in a long time has made my mind far away. At first I was able to maintain consciousness, but after that even that was difficult.

After sleeping and waking up in a hazy state, I suddenly felt a cool hand on my head and a cold towel on my forehead.

Oh, it seemed that someone was taking care of me.

As soon as I recognized that fact, the thirst that came from my hot body overtook me.

I asked for water without even realizing it, and someone who was caring for me poured water into a cup and poured it into my mouth.

As I drank the water mindlessly, I felt the pain go away a little bit. Leaving myself in that small comfort, I fell asleep again.

next to… … I guess it’s too late I should say thank you when I wake up.

* * *

When I opened my eyes, I began to see the dim scenery outside through the window. The pain I felt earlier had already gone, and my body was quite lively.

The wet towel on his head was cold as if it had just been removed. And a feeling of popularity. It was probably Mina.

“… … mina?”

“Ah, Adilun. You’re awake. Are you feeling better?”

“Physis… … ? Why are you here?”

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear you say that.”

“Yeah?”

“I’ve been taking care of you since daytime, but it’s a bit disappointing to hear the name Mina pop up all of a sudden.”

He deliberately showed an exaggerated sadness and spoke to me as if playing a joke.

no way. Was the cool hand on top of Physis’s?

Did he keep changing the wet towel on his head and feeding him water?

“ah… … .”

“just joke. Anyway, I’m glad you’re feeling better, Adilune.”

The words that were handed over with a gentle smile made a big ripple in my heart.

“Mi, I’m sorry.”

“Yeah? What do you mean?”

“You shouted yesterday… … .”

“Oh, what else am I saying? I must apologize. No matter how you look at it, I think it’s my fault that you caught a cold. I am truly sorry, Adilun.”

“Oh, no.”

Rather, the way he gently apologized to me, honestly, I couldn’t help but be moved.

“Here, have some soup, and lie down a little longer. There are cases where you feel like you are getting better, but you can make things worse by recklessly moving, so take a good rest today.”

“Yeah… … .”

I drank the soup he handed me. My body felt more at ease as I felt the warmth circling around my painful body.

Was it because he ate warm food, or was it because he felt relieved that Physis was by his side? Suddenly, drowsiness began to set in.

“If you are sleepy, go to sleep. I will always be by your side.”

“Yeah… … . Thanks, Phishes… … .”

I fell asleep and thanked him in my sleep.
