CH 40

Sanse and Schnaiser of the Royal Knights’ Second Unit have accompanied me as my personal guard since the day I came to the Kingdom of Tenar.

Sanse, who was escorting me, contracted the infectious disease, and I saw him turning into a lion at the mansion.

Schnaiser is a jaguar beastman and the older brother of Charlie, the former fiancée of Prince Gresis.

The mission of the Royal Knights Second Unit is mainly to escort the royal family and dignitaries. Schnaiser told me.

There were two other knights standing in front of the room we were guided to, and when they saw us, they opened the door.

Only me and the royal doctor, Crane, enter the room, while Sanse and Schneizer wait in front of the room.

Waiting in the room were the first prince, Crown Prince Timir, and the second prince, Future Prime Minister Frair.

His Highness Timir has blond hair that extends down to his neckline. He is a good-looking man with brown eyes and a gentle, sweet face.

His Highness Frair also has blond, long hair that is tied back. He had orange eyes, and although his eyes were sharp, he was also attractive with a handsome face.

The next king and the next prime minister are currently working as assistants to His Majesty King Leroy to solve problems that occur in the country.

“I think both of you are tired after returning from the frontier, but let me explain the current situation in the royal capital.”

His Highness Frair immediately got to the point.

“People who have become beasts due to the infectious disease are housed in temporary buildings set up in the plaza, but the number of patients continues to increase, and the number of people that can be accommodated in the buildings is being exceeded. There are also many deaths because the medicinal herbs are only a symptomatic treatment.”

“I heard it was a serious situation, but not to this extent.”

Crane sighed.

I know it’s a pretty bad situation.

“I want you to tell me what you need for treatment. Don’t hold back.”

Prompted by His Highness Timir’s gentle tone, I conveyed my hope.

“First of all, I can only treat a maximum of 30 people a day. I want to select the most severe ones, put them to sleep in advance, carry them to another room, and treat them. For those who have received treatment, it will be easy to identify them if they receive a tag with the date. They will return to humanoid form in four days at the earliest, so if there is a tag, it will be a guide.”

His Highness Frair takes notes.

“Understood. I’ll do something about the separate room, the medicinal herb that has the effect of sleeping, and the tag. I’m going to contact the local doctor and make arrangements so that you can move by tomorrow afternoon. Until then, get some rest.”

“Thank you for your concern. I look forward to working with you.”

I got up from my seat and tried to leave.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. After this mission is over, let’s have a tea party with us and Grasis. Call me brother at that time. Okay, Lilith?”

His Highness Timir smiled with a sweet face.

“Timir is right. We’re Lilith’s family.”

His Highness Frair’s clear tone contains kindness.

I was so happy that I could have two such wonderful brothers, and my face relaxed.

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it. Timir onii-sama, Frair onii-sama.”

“”!!!””

Both of them are at a loss for words and their eyes widen.

That? Was it no good? That’s right.

“I’m sorry. You said at the tea party. I’m sorry for calling you rudely all of a sudden. I’m was so happy, I couldn’t help it.”

“No, it’s fine. It’s fine. Please call me that.”

“Don’t worry about it. I just thought it would be nice to have a little sister.”

His Highness Frair waved his hand flutteringly while His Highness Timir spoke with a big smile.

It’s fine if you’re not uncomfortable.

Relieved, I left the room and parted with Dr. Crane.

The escort, Schnaiser, will send Crane on his way back to the Knights Building, and I will return to the mansion with Sanse.

His Highness Gresis’s mansion is within the royal palace, so it’s within walking distance.

The garden of the mansion is also wonderful, but the garden of the royal palace is vast and has many kinds of flowers, and it has a different splendor than the mansion, so I wanted to visit it once.

“I’d like to go home through the royal gardens, is that okay?”

“You don’t need the escort’s consent. Just do as Your Highness wishes.”

“Thank you Sanse.”

I took a walk while feeling the nature of the garden dyed in the setting sun and stored up natural energy.

Starting tomorrow, the treatment will begin, with no indication of when it will end.

I’m worried, but compared to His Highness Gresis’s monster subjugation mission, it’s definitely a safer and easier mission.

Alright, I’ll do my best too. Because everyone’s happiness leads to my happiness.

I took a deep breath and fired myself up so that I wouldn’t lose my physical condition.
