UGH, IT HURTS.... UGH... HHK.... UGH... WHERE IS THIS? MY ROOM...? MORE IMPORTANTLY, I'M THIRSTY.. I FEEL ALIVE... IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE, THOUGH. AH, THIS ANNOYING TONE... ...LOU? SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? EVER SINCE YOU RETURNED FROM THE MARQUIS'S HOUSEHOLD. EVER SINCE THEN? I THOUGHT I ASLEEP FOR A LONG TIME, BUT IT HAS ONLY BEEN A LITTLE WHILE? CHARLES. IT'S HAS BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE YOU COLLAPSED. ...3 DAYS?! I WAS SICK FOR THAT LONG?! THE DOCTOR SAID IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE OVERWORKED. YOUR BODY WASN'T IN A NORMAL STATE, AND YOU EVEN SUFFERED INJURIES, SO IT SEEMS YOU COULDN'T ENDURE IT. I DIDN'T PARTICULARLY OVERWORK MYSELF... ...NO, WAIT. THEN YOU... YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE THE ENTIRE 3 DAYS, HAVE YOU? WHAT ABOUT IT? NO, SERIOUSLY WHY? DID YOU JUST WATCH ME SLEEP? MY FIANCÉE WAS STABBED BY AN ASSAILANT AND COLLAPSED, SO I COULDN'T JUST PRETEND NOT TO KNOW. AND, I HAD FUN W ATCHING YOU TALK IN YOUR SLEEP. I... TALKED IN MY SLEEP...? WAIT, WHAT DID I SAY?! SURELY I DIDN'T BLURT OUT SOMETHING ABOUT CATACLE?! HMM~ LET'S SEE... YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO MARRY ME QUICKLY, I THINK. AND EVERY TIME YOU SEE MY SHINING FACE... YOU SAID YOU COULDN'T HELP WANTING TO KISS ME. WH-WHAT...?! THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT... OH? I WAS JUST JOKING, BUT YOUR FACE TURNED AS RED AS A BEET? DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT? YOU...! YOU WERE JUST LYING TO TEASE ME! EXCUSE ME. OH, GOODNESS...! NO, MASTER! IF THE LADY HAS WOKEN UP, YOU SHOULD'VE AT LEAST TOLD ME! SHE JUST WOKE UP. LADY.... OUR LADY, YOU MUST'VE SUFFERED SO MUCH... IT MUST'VE BEEN SO HARD, OUR LADY... HOW MUCH HARDSHIP YOU MUST HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL ALONE IN THE MEANTIME.... ? OH, THIS IS NO TIME FOR THIS! I WILL GO BRING THE DOCTOR! AFTER YOU RECEIVE YOUR EXAM, YOU MUST REST! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Y-YEAH.... ...MARDI SEEMS OVERLY PROTECTIVE TODAY, OR IS THAT JUST MY IMAGINATION? IT'S PROBABLY NOT YOUR IMAGINATION. WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE MANSION, I ASKED MARDI TO HELP WASH YOU, AND IT SEEMS SHE SAW THE SCARS ON YOUR BODY THEN. SHE MUST'VE THOUGHT THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF HARDSHIP. ...I ROUGHLY UNDERSTAND NOW, SINCE IT'S DEFINITELY NOT ORDINARY TO HAVE THAT MANY SCARS. BUT IS IT TO THE EXTENT THAT SHE WOULD LOOK AT ME WITH SUCH TEARY EYES? SHE JUST FELT SORRY FOR THE PAST YOU WHO SUFFERED WOUNDS DEEP ENOUGH TO LEAVE SCARS. ...WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE MY LIFE WAS REALLY THAT HARD. EVEN THOUGH I WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH DUE TO HARSH TRAINING THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD, ALWAYS CONSIDER IT GOOD FORTUNE THAT YOU WERE TAKEN IN, AND LIVE ACCORDINGLY. I WAS ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT TOO MANY WORRIES THANKS TO THE CAPTAIN. IF I HAD REMAINED IN THE SLUMS LIKE THAT, I WOULDN’T HAVE EVEN SURVIVED UNTIL NOW. I DON’T REGRET JOINING CATACLE. YOU’RE UNHESITATING WHEN YOU SAVE OTHERS, BUT YOU CAN’T EASILY ACCEPT GOODWILL TOWARD YOURSELF. NO WONDER YOU WOULDN’T EVEN BELIEVE MY WORDS. WHAT WORDS.... THAT I LIKE YOU, CHARLES. THAT'S.... ANYONE WOULD HEAR THAT AND THINK IT'S A LIE. OH MY. BUT IT'S TRUE. SO I ALSO HOPE THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY MORE SCARS. THAT IS ALL I HOPE FOR RIGHT NOW. WELL THEN, REST UNTIL THE DOCTOR ARRIVES, CHARLES. OH, RIGHT. I LEFT THE NEWSPAPERS FROM THE THREE DAYS YOU WERE ASLEEP. FEEL FREE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM . ...WHAT ON EARTH... ANYWAY.. MY HEART IS BEATING SO FAST, SURELY I HAVEN'T FALLEN FOR LOUVANDES. HIS FACE IS HANDSOME, SO I MUST JUST BE IMAGINING THINGS. I'LL JUST LOOK AT THE NEWSPAPER. ...HM? "HERO" CHARLES COURTNEY, WHO PROTECTED THE MARQUIS OF BIDEN'S HOUSEHOLD, FOUGHT THE ASSAILANT TO THE END DESPITE INJURIES. W-WAIT A MINUTE. CHARLES COURTNEY IS A VALIANT HERO AND THE SAVIOR OF THE MARQUIS'S HOUSEHOLD. Prime Time News "IF IT WEREN'T FOR HER..." THE MARQUIS OF BIDEN'S HOUSEHOLD PRAISES CHARLES COURTNEY'S COURAGE.
