Why are you crying?"

Not knowing what to do, she reached up and wiped away Mary's tears. Mary, who accepted my hand without refusing, fluttered noisily.

"Why did you hurt yourself like that...how much would it have hurt..."

I felt weird that there was someone crying for me, so I scratched my head and said unsteadily as if to appease Mary.

"Mary. I don't get sick anymore... I'm a sword master. If I had been struggling with this sort of thing, it wouldn't have gotten to this point. It really is fine. It doesn't matter."

"No. No, my lady."

Mary dried her tears. Despite her sadness, her strong eyes looked at me warmly.

"There are no casual injuries in this world."

'Oh.'

I closed my eyes tightly. The love is too much. Whatever I did wrong, the people here were urging me to do something precious again. The important thing is that it always hurts.

I have lived as if it was nothing, but there has never been a case where it was nothing.

I was always sick. Every night she felt the sensation of the wounds penetrating her flesh. I was in pain because I couldn't be happy and I couldn't make you happy.

"It's alright now, miss."

The feelings that arose from the sweet voice that calmed me down slowly flowed down. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand.

I felt that I was dying of tenderness.

After the bath, I was able to lie down on the bed only after the ointment was applied all over my body by Mary, who constantly teased me while looking at the wounds on my body.

'It's not a dream?'

Everything that happened urgently was unreasonable. I wiggled my toes, submerged in the huge, fluffy bed.

'What will happen tomorrow?'

I bite my lips firmly. He was afraid that Caesar's whims would end tomorrow. Yesterday I was crazy for a while. If he were to try to kill me and Aria, I thought hard about how to respond, and at some point my heart broke and I stopped thinking.

I squeezed the soft blanket.

I was scared and suspicious and worried, but at the same time, I was so happy that everything would be okay.

'...I do not know.'

I covered my head with the blanket.

I know nothing. Just what I want.

'I hope the duke's whims last as long as possible.'

I closed my eyes. I could no longer prevent the arrival of sleep.

That night I slept well for the first time since I became a Sword Master.

And in the morning.

When I entered the hall for breakfast, I gasped, taking turns looking at the head of a beast twice the size of my body, placed on a huge plate, and a note next to the food.

[I asked them to roast the meat of the largest beast that lives on the mainland because it would break if you beat it too dry. Eat all of it and have a doctor examine you.]

'Is my father... a madman?'

And in the morning.

"Wow..."

Unbeknownst to me, I sighed and looked around me. A cold flake of snow fell on my cheek.

The duke's garden with white snow was beautiful. I liked the aroma of the flowers that rubbed the tip of my nose, and I raised my mouth a lot without knowing it.

The news I heard was that Caesar's call from the emperor was early in the morning when I fell asleep and opened my eyes in the early afternoon. Since Aria hadn't woken up yet, I had to have breakfast alone in the hallway of a huge mansion.

'I... I eat alone, but this is too much...'

"For Miss Kashmira, she is only underweight. At first glance, the muscle mass is considerable, but the whole body is muscle because there is not too much meat. You must eat a lot. As much as you need to increase meat, food is mainly fats and proteins ... "

Sitting alone in front of a long table that could only be seen in the conference room of the Imperial Palace, I had to get rid of the innocent chant that filled the table while listening to the doctor's annoyance. I was able to get up from the seat only after I had emptied half of the food from the table.

"The garden outside the window was pretty, so can I just take a walk for a while?"

"Go alone! It can be dangerous, so come with me!"

"...Wouldn't the person who finds me be more in danger than me?"

"Uh..."

After a short walk, Mary who said she would go with me, let me go while placing my sword around my waist with a trembling expression.

"...Nice."

Breathe slowly and walk slowly through the garden. The only footprint left on the ground where the snowflake fell was mine.

I looked around slowly. It was so unrealistically beautiful that it wouldn't be strange even if the snow fairy appeared right away.

'In spring... more beautiful flowers will bloom.'

I looked at the trees that had been eroded by the cold. The snowy garden had a mystical charm, but the spring garden, full of flowers, seemed much more beautiful.

'But can we stay here until spring comes?'

I looked at the sky with a bitter smile. A vain sigh turned into a fleeting breath and disappeared into the sky
