“You need to see a doctor . Please wait, I’ll ask them to come here . ”
“That’s enough!”
Johann shook off my hands .
He looked at me with a rather blank look .
“You have many cuts . It will cause a scar even if your poison is purified! If you hide it again, I will tell everyone . ”
When I looked at him threateningly, Johann’s hand slowly loosen .
I managed to get a doctor and I even called dad .
Seeing Johann lying in bed, Dad became gloomy . He looked angry yet sad .
“Does it hurt?”
“……”
“I’m here to see your condition by Dubos’ orders . ”
He said the reason why he’s here . I sigh .
‘The dubbled’s are so stubborn’
His stubbornness seems to be from genetics . Not only Johann, but dad, Henry, and Isaac were all stubborn .
“You hide it from me without fear . ”
“Yes . ”
Look at that . He never says he’s wrong . Dad’s eyes grew colder .
“Dad, dad . ”
“……”
“The doctor said he had to take medicine and eat his meal first . ”
Dad who was frowning at Johann, sighed .
He heard some more of Johann’s condition from the doctor, and only then did he leave the room .
The room was quiet again after the doctors and the employees left .
“Is this what you want?”
Johann asked coldly and I narrowed my forehead .
“I should have let dad scold you more . ”
Then I sat down on a chair beside his bed . I scooped the soup that was placed on the bedside table and served it to him .
“No thanks . ”
“It’s a medicine prescribed by a doctor, he said you need to eat first before taking the medicine . ”
“……”
“Hurry up . Or I’m going to go out and tell people that Johann is sick!”
I give him the soup one more time . He soon opened his mouth a little after staring at the spoon I had put out for a while .
As soon as he swallowed the soup, I held out the spoon again .
“That’s right . One more time . ”
“……”
“Just one more time . ”
“……”
“Last time . ”
“……”
“Hey, a little bit more . Can you finish this?”
“……”
“Wow, it’s really the last time . ”
He emptied the soup from the small bowl and I put out the medicine .
“Eat this much, and today’s annoyance is over!”
Johann sighed and swallowed the pill . He gazed at me threateningly but I wasn’t afraid of him anymore .
Days after that .
Johann stared at Leblaine, who came into his room .
Today she picked up a bunch of flowers and put them in a vase as she stared at it with ecstatic eyes .
In recent days, that child has been in and out of my room in an obvious way .
When she came, she talked about many things, and then went back .
“Did you eat?”
“What about your medicine?”
“The chef made shrimp soup today, and it was delicious . Tomorrow, he said he’s going to make chicken soup . ”
Even if I kick her out, she comes again in the afternoon and asks if he ate, took medicine, and his condition .
Leblaine sat on a chair beside the bed as usual .
Then she put her elbows on the bed and began to chatter .
“So, Viscount Dubos was very upset . Dad didn’t say anything, but I think he was pretty scared . ”
“……”
“And today, Yuni mismanaged her laundry water, so everyone had to wear blue tinted clothes . The butler scolded her . They’re going to bring in new clothes tomorrow . ”
“……”
I ignored her chatter and tried to read a book, but I couldn’t even focus .
“So, we had french toast in the morning and it was really delicious . Oh, right . The tea was really nice today too . The doctor said you can drink too . Lea, get me the tea . ”
That kid was really weird .
At first, she was scared like everyone else, but at some point, she became the most annoying person in the world .
It wasn’t just that kid alone . Even those that were affected by that kid were annoying .
Isaac visited me last night . He looked at me with a sulky look on his face, at first, I wondered if he came in to quarrel, but he suddenly put a wild boar to my bedroom .

“I was just passing by, so I brought it . I didn’t mean to catch it . ”
Henry had also come in the morning . He hugged an armful of the documents and said,
“You don’t have to do this . It’s a lot of pressure . ”
The next person to come was my father . My father often come with LeBlaine and looked at him silently for about half an hour before going back .
As soon as I had my eyes fixed on the book, I suddenly noticed LeBlaine, who had been talking for a long time, stopped talking .
I glanced at her, she sat in the chair and buried her face in my bed as she fell asleep .
Johann looked at the child gently .
Her plump cheeks were like soft dough, her small and round nose was cute, and her mouth was like a baby chick .
She’s just a normal child, yet such a child was changing the castle .
This place was always buried in silence and darkness, but now it was very lively and bright . The floor, which used to be hard, was now covered in a soft carpet to make sure that the child wouldn’t get hurt .
‘Well, she indeed fell very often . ’
She often runs the garden, the greenhouse, and the hallways . Then, even if she fell down, she quickly got up and ran again without crying once .
She doesn’t act like a noble lady, she was just a normal child .
The petite, half-asleep child held Johann’s hand in both hands . Johann casually reached out for her curly hair .
Soon, the maid came in after a knock . On top of the tray was black tea which Leblaine had asked for Johann .
“Oh my . ”
The maid left the tea on the table .
“I’ll take her . ”
“No, leave her be . ”
“Pardon……?”
Johann, who already woke up, laid the child on the bed .
The maid was visibly shocked for a moment, but she soon smiled .
Even in Johann’s room, which had always been dark, a gentle sun was seeping in .
The sun was setting steadily when I woke up . I slowly blinked .
As my blurred vision became clearer, I could see an unfamiliar ceiling .
‘Here……gasp!’
I came to nurse Johann and fell asleep .
‘Oh no, I slept in the patient’s bed…’
While I was panicking, I felt a gaze from the sofa . It was Johann’s .
I looked at Johann and said,
“I’m sorry……”
I kicked him out as a patient and took over the bed after all .
I thought he would be mad, but what I heard from him was unexpected .

“Do you want anything?”
“Pardon?”
“I’ll give you a gift for nursing me . ”
“I didn’t do it for that . ”
I’m sincere . Johann murmured as I frowned .
“……I know . ”
“What?”
“It means I want to give something to you regardless of your purpose . ”
I stiffened .
‘So that must mean a thank you to me . ’
I laughed inwardly .
Well, I don’t really want anything……While I was thinking that, I suddenly thought of something .
“Mana!”
“Mana?”
His hair was also okay, but it is easier and faster to simply receive his mana at once .
Johann said while narrowing his forehead .
“It would be useless to you though . ”
“But……!”
He stared at me for a moment and said .
“Well, alright . ”
“Really?”
“Yes . ”
“I’m so excited!”
As I jumped and rejoiced, I could hear a little laugh .
I widened my eyes and looked at Johann . His lips were curled up .
“You really look like a baby chick . ”
‘Wow……’
I thought his smile would look similar to dad’s, but his smile is completely different .
‘Maybe his smile is similar to Risette?’
I laughed along with Johann as I thought about it .
When I came back from dinner, there was a white stone on my bed . It was Johann’s Mana Stone .
That evening, I looked at Johann’s Mana Stone with a happy face in the corner of the garden when there was no one .
‘It truly is an amazing power . ’

[Now give it to me . ]
‘It’s a waste to just pass it on, shall I split it up?’
[What?!]
Pymon who shouted frowned .
“Where did you learn about such a thing!”
“You asked for a pure mana, but you didn’t ask for this mana stone . ”
“That!……that’s true . ”
“Yes . ”
“Isn’t it something you didn’t need anyway?”
“If it’s such a precious mana stone, it must’ve a lot of uses . I’m sure they’ll pay a lot of money if I sell it to the tower right now . ”
“The richest man here is your father, why are you doing this!”
“Well, the more money the better . ”
Pymon was very panicked and looked impatient .
“Give it and I’ll make you many money . ”
“No need . ”
“I’ll make you many jewels!”
“No, instead give me the knowledge I didn’t know . Information report is your talent . Can that knowledge be transferred?”
I’ll get information about long-distance travel .
When I widened my eyes with a look of ‘Don’t even think about cheating’ . Pymon stopped talking .
But he couldn’t take his eyes off Johann’s Mana Stone .
It would be hard to find such a pure mana everywhere . The usually black Mana Stone was as white as a pearl .
Seeing Pymon so eager to have it, I thought I was right .
“Well, then . ”
It was when I was walking towards Gazebo,
A light emerged in front of my eyes .
And what appeared……was a long-haired young man dressed in unusual clothes, waving a luxurious fan, a middle-aged man with a stubble and beard, and a woman with a nursing suit .
The middle aged man said,
“Who called upon us?”
I looked at Pymon .
“These people……”
He turned to the three people on his back and opened his arms .
“These are all the powers I boast of . ”
“……”
“Pick one . Who do you want to put in your Etwal?”
