CH 24

By the time we arrived at the frontier, it was already past four in the afternoon.

In the hall where the patients were accommodated, Crane immediately began to sort out the patients whose treatment should be prioritized.

After being selected by Crane, the patients were moved into groups by the Monster Subjugation Unit led by Gresis. The first 30 people that I will treat is group 1. The 30 people who will be treated tomorrow is group 2, and the 30 people to be treated the day after tomorrow is group 3.

In the meantime, I went to help carry the porridge from the dining room to the hall in time for dinner at five o’clock.

There were about 100 people, so it was necessary to transport food with several carts. Moreover, the carts are heavy, so at least two people must push them.

“I’m afraid to be with Her Highness.”

When I tried to push the cart together, the person on duty left the cart and went to help push another cart.

It was impossible to push the remaining cart alone.

There are many knights around, but they keep a distance so that I can’t call out to them, and they pretend not to see me.

My exclusive escort tries to say something, but I stop it without saying a word.

If they don’t have enough carts, they won’t have enough food.

The person on duty should be troubled and have to go back to retrieve the cart.

With that in mind, I decided to wait there for a while.

“Your Highness, are you okay? You can’t do that alone, can you?”

Crane showed up just in time and took the initiative to help.

“Thank you. I appreciate your help.”

“I just did the obvious. Seriously, who do they think these meals are for?”

Crane looked around and sighed.

“Nevertheless, Your Highness, I have heard from His Highness, do you really intend not to rely on the guards?”

“If that happens, it’s a big deal.”

I got a wry smile from Crane pushing the cart together.

By the time we finished pushing the cart to the hall, the meal assistance had already started.

Meal assistance was provided by Crane and knights, who had recovered from the infectious disease, during their break from subjugation. Then, several local doctors divide up and help.

“Isn’t it poisoned?”

I heard a voice from somewhere.

When I look around, there are only hostile gazes.

I have a plate of porridge, but I feel like no one will eat it.

“Look, you can force it into their mouth. It’s being fed by the princess herself, so they’ll eat it.”

When my heart was about to break, a nearby snow leopard opened it’s mouth.

“Thank you.”

Relieved, I smile involuntarily. I sat there and made eye contact.

“Even thought it’s a human, there is no way they wouldn’t want to be fed by a royal family member, and moreover, a woman. Even though they refuse, they must be envious inside.”

“I hope so.”

The snow leopard has a good mouth, but its body is languid and it looks painful.

With spoon in my hand, I brought the porridge to his mouth, being careful not to spill it.

“Please do it until you feel better.”

“That’s my line, Your Highness. I’m Carrion. I’m an assistant to the Commander of the Frontier Knights. I’m the cousin of Grasis.”

The snow leopard looked lazy, but smiled at me.

“Nice to meet you, Carrion.”

Carrion let me feed him, and when I was carrying a plate of porridge, the number of beasts that opened their mouths and appealed to me gradually increased.

“You can eat without waiting, that’s all.”

Everyone scowled and said something, but they seemed to be hungry and obediently ate the porridge.

Did they accept me a little? Maybe.
