65 Magical Power is Dancing

The carriage that was hastily moving towards the direction of Duke Lilac’s mansion finally arrived at its destination. Without a moment of hesitation, I get out of the carriage and followed after the chamberlain, rushing toward Muriel’s room.

Just as I expected, her condition remained as unstable as before. Neither the doctors, healers, and Bates seemed to be able to do anything about her condition. They could only watch as her condition deteriorated right under their watch.

As I approached closer, I saw my father standing in front of the door.

“Looking at your face now, it seems that you have gotten a grip on yourself.”

“Yes. I have made you worry about my condition.”

Hearing my words, a bright, gentle smile bloomed on my father’s face. One that could make numerous ladies fall head over heel for him. He then embraced me.

“―― May I ask your permission for my son to go to Miss Muriel’s side, Viscount Amber?”

Viscount Amber hesitated for a while when he heard my father’s request, but in the end, he nodded his head and allow me to enter the room. Thus, gaining permission, I immediately slipped into the room. Passing by my future brother-in-law, I finally arrived at Muriel’s side.

I looked at her and my heart ached. Muriel’s face was as pale as sheet, and I was scared because it seemed as if she would die at anytime and left me behind.

“Muriel, I come to present a bracelet to you. Please accept it.” I said as I took out the knitted bracelet I made. Then, taking Muriel’s left hand, I gently put the bracelet around the wrist and saw that the dark red bruise around her left wrist seemed to be bigger than before. It was even more vivid than last he saw. Unable to bear the sight, I coiled the bracelet around the bruise and masked it from sight.

I then adjusted the position of the crystal flower to be right on top of the vivid, dark red bruise.

“Yeah, this flower suits you more than that accursed bruise.”

Muriel didn’t reply. But that matters not. I clasped her hand, not willing to let it go, but slowly but surely, I felt her body temperature was becoming colder and colder.

“Look, I also bring the chick you made this morning. This little fella is worrying about you too.” I said as I placed the chick beside the crystal flower. “That’s why, please wake up. Wake up be that cheerful and healthy girl whose smile brings joy to others again. Please.”

However, no matter how I wished for it, miracle didn’t happen. Muriel’s hand was instead becoming colder and colder.

“Muriel, I, I love your smiling face the most. Your smile always heal my heart whenever I sees it. Do you know that your smile cheers me up whenever I was down? You always look so happy whenever you received a gift from me. That’s why, since you have always liked the lacework I presented to you, I made another one this time. However, it seems you don’t like this one… Please, Muriel. Please. Open your eyes. Please…”

I clasped her left hand, desperately praying for a miracle as I brought it closer to my head. Please, please don’t die on me. I’ve had enough of losing important person of my life just like I lost my father in my last life. Muriel, do you know how sad your brother, sister, and parents are going to be if you die? You should know, right? So, please, survive. Please, Muriel, I’ve had enough of looking at the ghastly face of my mother in my last life made when my father in that life passed away. Please don’t make me face the same thing again. I won’t be able to bear it.

Suddenly, it felt like the crystal blinked. Then, a string of sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.

“『I, Theodore――』” I began reciting the Japanese words that appeared in my mind one-by-one carefully, “『―― Offer My True Love to My Beloved Muriel.』”

If there are Gods in this world, please, please save Muriel. I beg you.
