CH 74

In the morning, in the carriage going to the sanatorium, there was a report from Prince Corini.

“Even if I pulled out the arrows of all the patients who were treated, there was no rampage, and the consciousness was clear. Everyone who was there agreed that there was no need for sleep arrows anymore.”

Among all of them, Gresis-sama was there. I think so.

“Now you don’t have to worry about the lethal dose of sleep arrows. That’s why it’s about future assistance. . .”

I told the two of them about the home treatment that Gresis-sama suggested.

“That’s a good idea. There is no problem when you are sleeping, but if you are conscious, even if you are a beast, you will be worried about sleeping in the same room with a man and a woman, or an aristocrat and a commoner sleeping in the same room, so I thought it was necessary to take measures.”

At worst, I’ll abandon it. He said that, but Crane was also thinking about the case of pulling out the arrow and not rampaging.

“The question is whether they will rest. Instead of getting the effect of the treatment at once, if you move around and exhaust your physical strength, you will die.”

I talked about my biggest concern.

It is a miracle that Healer can be used, and the patient with insanity was weak in the ability to heal.

If this wears out, there will be no next time.

“Then let’s talk about the danger of physical exhaustion and allow only those who can promise absolute rest to recuperate at home. If they and their families make a written promise to me, a member of the royal family, they will definitely keep it.”

If you break your promise to His Royal Highness Corini, you will be guilty of disrespect. So you don’t have to worry about them breaking their promise.

“The division of rooms by gender will be done by the helpers after the meal assistance. It would be good to partition the nobles and commoners with a screen.”

By the time the carriage arrived at the sanatorium, the story was concluded thanks to Prince Corini.

It was when I visited the room with Prince Corini’s guidance to immediately check the situation of the patients who were treated.

“Good morning, Your Highness. I understood the explanation of how I was brought here last night, but I’m still not convinced that I, a duke’s daughter, would sleep and eat with lower class people and men.”

As I was concerned, there was a complaint right away.

Probably the Duke’s daughter, in the form of a white wolf, appealed to Prince Corini while breathing heavily and looking suffocating.

“Miss Monenard’s argument is reasonable. Immediately after breakfast, the room will be separated by gender. If you also want to recuperate at home, it will be possible with conditions, so please be patient for a while longer.”

“I understand. Your Highness, how are you? No way!? Why is there human!”

After seeing Crane, Miss Monenard, who noticed me, glared at me.

The patients in the treatment room also have a grim face all at once.

I thought they were weak and had no physical strength, but surprisingly everyone seemed to be fine and relieved.

“They came from the Kingdom of Tenar to treat our patients. This is Lord Crane, the royal doctor, and his assistant, Princess Lilith.”

Prince Corini introduced me to everyone, so bowed as a lady and greeted them.

“Everyone, I’m from the Tenar Kingdom. I’m Lilith, the wife of the third prince Gresis. As an assistant to the royal palace doctor Crane, I will do my best to make everyone feel better soon.”

Of course, I can’t stop smiling.

“Humans marry beastmen!? What!? That hair ornament, the national flower of the Hire Kingdom!? That’s a lie!”

Miss Monenard and all the patients were surprised.

“Mr. Crane and Princess Lilith are busy with treatment, so I will explain the future.”

The patients who woke up were left to Prince Corini, and Crane and I went to prepare for the morning herbal tea administration.

Give herbal tea to sleeping patients and provide dietary assistance to treated patients in 30 minutes until they regain their position.

“There are still 20 patients, so it’s enough for us to go to help.”

When I was about to go to the meal assistance, the knights stopped me, so I had no choice but to wait in the big room.

A knight came back to the room earlier than I expected.

You’re early, I wonder if the assistance is already over. They couldn’t eat until now, so they might have been very hungry.

When I was convinced by myself, the knight came with a troubled face.

“Your Royal Highness, there is no problem with the other patients, but Miss Monenard doesn’t want to receive assistance from us men. I was told that the other party is a duke’s daughter, so it’s difficult for us to deal with it. . .”

All the beastmen who helped were men.

They are all lower-ranking aristocrats, so they are not in a position to force the duke’s daughter.

Come to think of it, Miss Monenard was worried about men and women being in the same room earlier.

Maybe it’s embarrassing for a man to do it for her.

I would be embarrassed too.

“Then, I’ll try to go.”

“I’m sorry.”

Miss Monenard was surprised when I immediately went.

“. . . It’s strange that the Princess comes in direct! Because you’re not a maid. And I don’t want to eat it from human hands.”

I sat down with a plate of porridge in front of Miss Monenard, who bared her fangs.

“But I’m the only woman.”

“I’m not saying I don’t like it if it’s not a woman.”

I was turned away.

Oh? The story is different from the knight who came to report.

I tilted my head.

“How is Corini doing?”

While turning away, Miss Monenard said that.

I wonder if the two of them are good friends to call out Prince Corini of the royal family?

“I wonder if he’s waiting around there.”

“I can’t believe he didn’t come at all even though he’s my fiancée.”

They weren’t just good friends. I’ll check it just in case.

“What is he your fiancé? His Highness Corini?”

“That’s right. What is it? It has nothing to do with you!”

“Yes, for sure.”

But obviously Miss Monenard is acting strange, so I’m worried.

I don’t feel so much that she’s angry, but I feel like she’s sulking . . . oh, I see.

“Miss Monenard, you really wanted Prince Corini to help you, so you refused the help of men.”

Miss Monenard turned around with great momentum.

“What? What, you, what are you talking about?”

She said that in a hurry. It looks like it was a hit.

“Then, I’ll have His Royal Highness Corini replace me.”

It’s obvious that she wants Prince Corini, and I tried to call him, but why would she stop me?

“It’s fine if you eat it, but is it okay with me?”

I sat down again and carried the spoon that scooped up the porridge to Miss Monenard’s mouth.

“It’s good. I’m sure I’ll be rejected anyway. Because he hates me.”

She’s desperate and eating porridge.

Maybe she got hungry when she started eating, and when I was scooping porridge with a spoon, she opened her mouth and urged me. It’s cute.

The tail is buzzing and moving a lot.

The movement of the tail, which is different from the cat family, was also fresh and fun, and the meal assistance ended in no time.

“Even though it’s a human being, if it’s assistance from the royal family, I have no choice but to accept it. If I refuse, it will be disrespectful.”

Miss Monenard, who is taut, is not honest, but very easy to understand.

In other words, she wants to nominate me for the next assistance.

I couldn’t help but smile.

“See you later.”

I made the next appointment and left the room.

When it was lunch break and I was about to return to the royal palace, I was approached by His Royal Highness Corini.

“I’m sorry that my fiancée, Monenard, spoke selfishly and even had Princess Lilith help with the meal. I will be careful of Monenard so that this will not happen in the future.”

It’s not normal for the royal family to help with meals to the lower ranks.

So I can understand what Prince Corini is saying.

However, even herbal tea administration is like meal assistance, so from my point of view, it was too late.

“Your Highness Corini, please don’t apologize. You don’t need to pay attention to Miss Monenard. Miss Monenard was a very cute person. She missed you so much and wanted to see your highness.”

I remembered Miss Monenard’s panic, and I couldn’t help but smile.

“Huh? Monerard!?”

Prince Corini looks surprised, so I told him how I came to help Miss Monenard.

“. . . .Because there are other patients, I was just trying not to treat her specially because she was my fiancée. She also seemed to be fine with that attitude. I can’t believe she’s lonely. . . Can’t she tell me more clearly?”

Prince Corini covered his face and sighed.

It wasn’t a grumpy sigh, but it looked like he was pointing at himself, he seemed like he regretted something.

“I heard that beast people are sensitive to emotions, but there are things you can’t understand unless you put them into words.”

I’m curious about what the difference is between knowing and not knowing.

“It’s because of the perfume. We in the canine family have a particularly good nose. But maybe because we’re part human, we sometimes don’t want all of our emotions to be known. Especially aristocratic women. So you put on a perfume that makes it difficult to be read with the nose. You don’t have your emotions read, but you won’t be able to read the other person, so words are important.”

In other words, words were needed because of the perfume, but they couldn’t convey it well, and each other’s thoughts passed each other.

“She will be recuperating at the duke’s house soon, but I’ll help with the meal until then.”

Prince Corini offered it, so of course, I’ll leave it to him.

“Miss Monenard’s urging for a meal is very cute, so please enjoy it.”

When I told him the fun part of the assistance, he laughed at me.

“You’re cute enough, too.”

“Huh? Thank you very much?”

I was confused by the sudden compliments and the smile of Prince Corini for the first time.

I was taught that praising women is like greetings in the social world.

I’m sure this is it.

Still, from the attitude of clicking the tongue at the beginning, I think it has changed a lot.

I wonder if I was able to be recognized as a member of the royal family of the Tenar Kingdom.

If that’s the case, I’m happy.

I think Lilith has made a new friend.
