The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me

10 – Grand Duchess and Village Trip (7)

When I opened my eyes, I saw Elencia looking down at me.

“Ilen… Shia?”

No matter how faint I was, even as I spit out the words, my throat hurt like it was going to tear.

As if she had been dozing off for a while, Illencia, startled by my voice, hurriedly lifted a glass of water from the table next to her and handed it to me.

Someone told me to give me water first when I wake up. I took a sip of the water with a small smile on my face.

“… Are you still in a lot of pain?”

Ilensia looked at me drinking water and asked.

I laughed because I was cute, but it seemed to others that I was frowning because I was in pain.

“Huh? Do you think you’re okay now?”

“But… lay down.”

Actually, there was some pain left in her body, but I spoke in a bright voice to erase the worry from Ellencia’s face.

Fortunately, after replenishing the water, my throat got better, so a bright voice came out as I thought.

Still, Illensia couldn’t erase her worried expression from her face.

‘Hagi story It can’t be trusted that a person who wakes up after a few days is fine, but….’

I don’t know how much time has passed, but it was around evening when I was hit by a carriage, and now the sun was setting again.

My body is strangely weak because I passed out for a long time.

“Am I really okay?”

“I told you to lie down!”

As I tried to raise her body, I suddenly stopped at the sight of Illencia screaming at her.

I opened her mouth and looked at her at her sudden change.

“… Black.”

But I couldn’t help but notice right away that it wasn’t a blush from embarrassment.

“Uh, uh, why are you crying… ?”

Isn’t it normal for me to cry?

I just got bullied by you… ?

Suddenly I thought so, but my body was honest. I hurriedly moved her body and sat down in front of Illensia, casually stroking her hair.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Are you okay.”

Her fingers run gently through her black, shiny hair. She stroked her as gently and affectionately as possible, but Illensia couldn’t stop crying at her.

Her slender shoulders tremble, and tears continue to flow from her large eyes.

Seeing Ilensia biting her lower lip and looking at me, I unknowingly held her in her arms.

“Black… Whoa… !”

As soon as she patted Ilencia on the back, Ilencia let out the cry she had been holding back.

Her cry was cute for my age, but it broke her heart to feel how much she cared about me.

“Because I’m fine… You don’t have to worry.”

Actually, she only had pain here and there, but her condition wasn’t too bad.

Probably took me straight to the temple, the best priest in the world! It was a considerable healing power to the extent that the word itself came out.

However, as if I couldn’t believe my words, Illensia slapped her head in my arms.

“Seriously, don’t worry. After lying down for a few days….”

“A lie… ! I’ve only been lying down for a day, but how can I get better already! Black… Black….”

I stopped her hand that was gently stroking her hair to soothe her Elencia, and smiled awkwardly.

Well, surely one day is unbelievable!

#

It took several tens of minutes for Illensia to calm down.

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at her as she sobbed with her red, swollen eyes as if her tears couldn’t come out anymore.

“Don’t laugh….”

“Oh, sorry, sorry. Because it’s so cute.”

Illensia’s face was red like an apple, as if she was ashamed of her sobbing.

The figure of Ilensia with her head bowed was the Ilensia I knew.

When she confirmed that fact, I was relieved for some reason and couldn’t help but smile a little.

By the way, only one day has passed, do you think the priest’s healing is too fraudulent?

Since medicine was not developed in this world, the only way to get treatment was to go to the temple priest or use a healing potion.

Even that, healing potions were only cheap to get in a town like this, so the only place I could actually get treatment was the temple.

But it was only a day after he was hit by a carriage, and he was able to move his body normally.

It’s great.

As I put her tongue inside her, Illensia, whose face was bright red, raised her head and stared at me blankly.

“… Why?”

“Cain over there… that is….”

I tilted her head at the sight of Illencia opening her mouth as she hesitated as to what to say. She put her hands together and tightly closed her eyes.

What are you trying to say?

“Thank you for saving me….”

Knock Knock.

“My lady.”

Illencia’s voice of courage was drowned out by someone knocking on her door.

Thanks to that, Illencia, who had been talking to her with her bursting face, was now looking at her door with a devastated expression.

“Be, Berman… ?”

“Can I come in for a minute?”

If you are Berman, you must be an escort knight of Illencia.

He asked at the door if he had something to say. Illensia’s expression turned slightly sullen when she realized who was disturbing her.

Of course, even that soon disappeared, and she returned to her original Illencia with a cold, expressionless expression.

“…… Come in.”

Kiki.

I let out a small exclamation inwardly as I opened the door and looked at Berman as he entered.

Actually, I had only heard of an escort driver named Berman, but I had never actually met him, so it was the first time I had seen him.

Blazing red hair, red eyes.

A strong face and a long cut across the cheek. A strong body trained through actual battles and training, and the scent of a strong man that comes out spontaneously.

He was wearing a black cloak and red armor that made it seem unusual even at the slightest glance.

“Ah, the young master is also awake.”

Nodding off.

Entering the room, he gazed at Illencia for a moment, then bowed slightly to me.

“I heard you helped me. Thank you.”

Even if he was an escort knight of Illencia, he was definitely not lower than me.

Rather, he was from the grand duke’s family, and I was the second son who did not fit into the succession hierarchy, so I had to raise my words.

Berman stared at me for a moment as I thanked him.

His red eyes were the same color as Illencia, but had a subtly different feel.

He stared into my dark eyes, then shook his head and lowered his head.

“Say something. Rather, since you saved the young lady, it’s not enough for me to express my gratitude.”

Reading the strange longing in Berman’s eyes, I tilted my head and waved my hand.

“Because we are friends, it was only natural.”

If the same thing happened again, I would throw myself without regret. That fact would not change.

“So, what happened?”

Illencia, taken aback by my words, asked Berman while stuttering her words.

Illencia, whose cheeks turned slightly red again, and Berman, who looked at me with a happy expression, answered her question.

“It is because of the successor of the Fallen Company and the handling of it.”

Already?

Since I said that it had only been a day since I passed out, that incident also only passed a day, and even if the work was done quickly, it was too fast.

It involved the Grand Duchess and the baron’s second son.

In addition, I was in the position of a victim who was unilaterally subjected to tyranny and tyranny.

Therefore, it was actually difficult to expect a moderate punishment. In a world where aristocratic children are punished even if they scratch their bodies.

The crime of touching the Grand Duchess, especially in the northern land ruled by the Grand Duchess, was more serious than one could imagine.

“The heir of the Fallen Merchant and the coachman paid for their sins with their heads. Fallen Sangjuju also convinced this part.”

In fact, it was a very merciful act to go over with only the lives of the two of them. Even though I still have strong memories of my previous life, their sins were heavy.

“By order of the Baron of Valencia, the Fallen Merchant Merchants are no longer able to independently deliver to this territory.”

That was also natural.

Because the successor of the Fallen Merchant Group lost an important source of money because of the corrupt behavior of the fallen merchants with the name of the fallen on their backs and the problem of me being the second son of the baron family.

After Berman finished her words, he looked at Illensia.

I blinked at that sight.

Did you just finish this? Are you very generous?

I thought I would at least erase the Fallen Merchant from this world.

Even if the head of the heir escaped, it was a new blood compared to the head of the entire top of Fallen.

The fallen top lord still had two more sons, so he didn’t have to worry about finding someone to take over the top.

Moreover, even if the upper line’s exclusive supply route is cut off, the upper line will open up another route.

If you don’t have that level of skill, you won’t be able to run the guild, and you’ll find other ways to survive.

“… Great job.”

“Yes, then please rest in peace.”

Despite Illencia’s curt voice, Berman didn’t care and bowed his head once more and walked out the door.

Berman looked at me for a moment before leaving the door, and then he disappeared outside the door.

Why? He seemed to have something to say.

After looking at the door with puzzled eyes for a moment, I turned my gaze back to Illencia.

Illensia erased the cold expression she had when Berman was around and looked at me again with a slightly relaxed face.

Then I smiled and said to Illencia.

“Say something.”

For a moment, Illencia, who floated her question mark above her head, soon realized that it was her answer to what she had said just before Berman entered, and her face blushed.

“Puhahahaha!”

She was so cute and lovely that I couldn’t help laughing.

“Ooh, don’t laugh… !”

Illencia’s shameful protests were drowned out by my laughter.
