CH 275

At first, Noel flinched slightly at the touch.

He tried to pretend that nothing was wrong as much as possible, but somehow it became more and more difficult.

Rieta, who took off his clothes enough to be satisfied(?), smiled.

“When I’m doing this, somehow.”

‘…….you think we have a special relationship?’

Noel laughed lightly as he thought of what Rieta would say afterwards.

But that was just his hope.

“It seemed like we were playing doctors like when we were little, right?”

“…..”

Noel’s rising anticipation completely faded.

Both of his shoulders slumped in disappointment.

Playing doctor? Is that what someone who took off his clothes would say?

“Noel, what’s wrong with your expression?”

“……No, I was feeling the bitter taste of life all over again.”

“Don’t worry, it’s not such a bitter medicine. It’s okay because I brought it after checking it several times.”

He hoped that she understands her feelings with the sincerity of checking the medicine.

How many times has he felt this sense of defeat?

Feeling miserable for some reason, Noel sighed and turned his head away.

“All pharmacists and doctors always say that. It doesn’t hurt that much. It’s all lies.”

“Yes, patient, please keep quiet.”

Rieta said that the way they used to play when they were little, and she quickly opened the vial.

The gooey medicine smelled unpleasant and strong.

She thought his health would get worse after applying it.

“Doctor. The medicine seems to have rotted.”

Noel made a grumpy protest to the vicious quack doctor who didn’t care the least bit for his feelings.

“The medicine is not rotten. Originally, good medicine is strong to the body.”

Rieta smeared the medicine on a wooden stick, and she carefully dropped it onto Noel’s shoulder.

It wasn’t bitter, as she said, but the smell was really nasty.

“Oh, it’s no joke.”

Saying that, Noel carefully looked at Rieta’s face as she spread the medicine on his shoulder.

The tip of her nose twitched a little, perhaps the smell was too much for the quack doctor as well.

Elisha saw this cute figure in person.

Lowly punk.

If that happens, she should tell him.

Rieta, who concentrates while applying the medicine, is very pretty.

“Afterwards.”

“Huh?”

Noel replied with a little surprise when she suddenly spoke.

“It’s going to get more bruises.”

Rieta was worried and looked tearful.

“Well, I can’t help it.”

“I hope the medicine works well.”

“Can the doctor speak so anxiously?”

Rieta declared as she closed the medicine bottle when Noel said that.

“Hmm, the medicine will work! Patient!”

And she blew a whooping breath over his shoulder. So that the sticky medicine dries well.

Of course, it was only a therapeutic practice.

Perhaps if Noel hadn’t harbored selfish feelings for Rieta, he wouldn’t have felt any strange feelings.

“All, all right. It’s all dry.”

…..·The problem is that Noel has already harbored a lot of personal feelings.

He hurriedly pulled his shirt over the medicine that hadn’t dried.

He thought it would be even more painful if he went through this treatment till the end.

“It’s not dry at all!”

“It’s my body! I know better! Anyway, thanks for the treatment, your patient is all well now. So the doctor can go now.”

The panicked Rieta tried to dissuade Noel, but it was to no avail.

He even walked up to the door and opened it wide.

Telling her to leave now.

Rieta was reluctant, but she stood up without hesitation.

“Ah.”

Then, through her open door, she heard the maid’s voice.

“As expected, you’re still here.”

“She bowed her head to Noel, asked for permission, and hurried toward Rieta’s.

Rieta asked as she looked somewhat urgent.

“What’s the matter?”

“The Duke has just returned.”

“The Duke?! Really?!”

With Rieta’s delighted question, the maid nodded her head.

“Yes. He asked to call the princess and Lord Noel. I guess he has something to say.”

“Father? What’s going on?”

This time Noel interrupted the conversation.

“Well… I don’t know. I just did what I was told.”

Well, unless it was the butler, there was no way that all the servants of the family could know the Duke’s true intentions.

“Yes. I’ll get ready and go down soon.”

Noel nodded and tickled through Rieta’s still wet hair a little.

“Princess, you must dry your hair. The doctor shouldn’t catch a summer cold.”

Rieta only nodded her head slightly at the strangely tender talk.

“Oh, come to think of it.”

After looking at the two for a while, the maid clapped her hands lightly as if she had just remembered them.

“I heard that the Duke just had an audience with the Emperor before returning to the mansion. It might have something to do with His Majesty!”

Noel and Rieta, who stared at the maid’s face, checked each other’s expressions almost simultaneously.

The two could be sure that they were thinking the same thing without even having to talk to each other.

‘Ah, we are dead.’

The Duke must have heard the matters about the bird.

Although the emperor had finished the situation, they not only broke the rules of the storage room, but also caused great trouble to the wizards.

The duke has been teaching them that the higher they are, the more they need to be careful in everything they do.

So, both of them must have been very disappointing.

Feeling miserable, Noel and Rieta both bowed their heads at the same time.
