CH 27

On the fourth day, I woke up at 6:00 in the morning.

Ugh. . . my head is still hazy. Actually, I’m not very good at getting up early. . .

Around the time I finished my preparations, Prince Gresis, who had finished his morning self-training, returned to the room.

“Good morning. Thank you for your hard work in training.”

“I’m back. I’ll change my clothes right away.”

While His Highness Gresis lightly wiped his sweat in the bathroom and changed into knight clothes, I sat on the sofa and woke up while drinking the tea that Mai had brewed for me.

When I left the room with His Highness Gresis, who had finished getting ready, the three daily exclusive escort knights were waiting in front of the room.

It seems that Agar, the assistant to the unit commander, is in charge of education today.

“Today, I will escort Her Highness with these two frontier knights.”

The two knights introduced by Agar briefly introduced themselves.

“I look forward to working with you today.”

I smile and say hello in a friendly manner.

Before seven o’clock, accompanied by three escorts, I went to the cafeteria with His Highness Gresis and had breakfast.

After that, His Highness Gresis goes to the frontier knight’s office to prepare for subjugation.

On the other hand, I went with Crane, the royal doctor who joined me at the cafeteria, to pick up the hand-pulled cart carrying the patients’ meals.

Breakfast for the patients in the hall was fixed at eight o’clock.

The caregivers take plates of porridge and go to the patients to feed them the porridge.

As I was walking with a plate of porridge, the majority of the beast knights opened their mouths and began to accept my assistance with feeding.

I’m sure it’s thanks to Carrion, Assistant Commander of the Frontier Knights, who ate the porridge that I gave him so deliciously.

Now, there are even people who put their paws on my lap and entwined their tails while eating.

Come to think of it, I feel that His Highness also acted in the same way.

“It’s a form of expression that comes from a sense of trust. It’s good.”

As I headed towards the cart to pick up the next plate, Assistant Commander Agar, who was standing by as an escort, quietly told me.

“Your Highness, today is my turn.”

“You were fed by Her Highness yesterday, weren’t you?”

Groups 1 to 3, which were the most severe, had the effect of Healer, and everyone had recovered to the point where they could quarrel.

“Hou, it’s great that you’re feeling so much better.”

Before I knew it, His Highness Gresis was next to me and smiled at the knights.

I’m sure he came to visit me before the subjugation. I’m worried because he’s a kind person.

Even though he was smiling, the air around me mysteriously became frozen.

The paw that was on my knee and the tail were quickly removed.

“I wondered if this was what was going on, and when I came to see it, it was.”

His Highness Gresis puts his hand to his mouth and sighs.

It seems that there was something he was worried about.

“Your Highness, you are in the right place.”

Crane noticed His Highness Gresis and came here to report.

“The group treated on the first day will be able to return to human form tomorrow at the earliest.”

If I remember correctly, it was three days after I healed His Highness Gresis, who had contracted an infectious disease, that he returned to his human form. And naked. . .

I only come here to help with meals, so I will witness the nakedness! I was relieved that nothing seemed to happen.

“That’s more important than anything else. I need them to get back soon. They’ll get into the habit of being spoiled.”

Spoiled? Not restful?

I didn’t understand the true intentions of His Highness Gresis.

“Was there anything that spoiled them who were just lying down, eating, and recuperating?”

“Even though it’s so easy to understand.”

Crane smiled wryly when I was told that by His Highness Gresis.

“Her Highness is still too young to understand everything about beastmen, so it can’t be helped.”

“Um, I don’t understand what the two of you are saying, so please explain so that I can understand.”

“I’d like to, but it’s time to go on the mission.”

“I was in the middle of a medical examination.”

In the end, I was dodged.

I felt an indescribable itchy feeling when I was the only one who couldn’t figure out a question that was easy for everyone around me to answer.

During my lunch break and when I had time before or after using Healer, it became my daily routine to go to the roof of the fortress as much as possible to replenish my natural energy.

During the day, His Highness Gresis is often away from the fortress to assist in subjugating monsters.

However, when I went to the rooftop at night, he naturally accompanied me.

It’s now past 8:40pm.

After finishing cleaning up after dinner, there was still time before I needed to use Healer at 9 o’clock, so I came to the roof with His Highness Gresis.

I have to take in natural energy now.

“They seem to miss you a lot.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

Compared to the rejection on the first day, it’s much easier now.

It makes me smile naturally.

“Lilith’s hard work has been properly communicated to those who have turned into beasts. Good for you.”

His Highness Grasis stroked my head and praised me. I like his big hands. If you do that, I’ll will be motivated more and more.

“Yes, I will do my best. Both assisting and healing.”

His Highness Gresis’s tail hit the stone pavement at his feet.

“You don’t have to try too hard. Don’t be too kind to them. Also, other than me. . .”

“Other than His Highness?”

After a while.

“. . . it’s nothing after all. It’s time to use Healer.”

Once again, I was dodged.

I want to know more about His Highness Gresis.
