40.

I thought about past events. He didn’t treat slaves like human beings and punished them almost like torture, he hit Jin on the head with a paper knife, and he got coldly angry because water got splashed on his clothes.

‘Yes, after all, a person’s personality is more important than his appearance.’

By coming to that conclusion, I was able to calm down. Next to her, Lu was looking at Jin strangely, but she didn’t notice.

“The spirit has returned.”

The closed window opened wide and herbs poured inside. The congressman exclaimed with a surprised expression on his face at what had happened out of nowhere.

“A ghost!”

Mary was also trembling and filled with fear, but it did not last long. This was because Richt, Jin, and Lu were so calm.

“You saw it wrong.”

“What happened?”

“No, nothing happened.”

Then Lu calmly picked up the herbs and put them in the basket.

“Well, didn’t the window just open by itself?”

Mary, who was holding the basket, asked cautiously.

“It looks like the wind was blowing a little strong.”

“And herbs in between.”

“It looks like a kind person threw some herbs at me.”

Mary’s eyes narrowed. She seems to be up to something, but I don’t know what she is. In the meantime, the congressman gets caught up in the cool-headed Jin and begins to think that what she saw was an illusion.

“Yes? Well, how can the window open on its own?”

“sure. “I’m glad that the congressman is a rational person.”

At that point, Mary stopped questioning her. She took the herbs in her basket, ground them and made juice for the patient to consume. And she handed the juice to Richt. It looked like he had given up on something.

Richt took it and kissed Van again. Jin slapped her again, and Lu made her excuse and went out.

[Why are you leaving?]

Ar, who was staring intently at Richt, pulled Ru’s hair.

“I’m embarrassed.”

[what?]

“In many ways.”

[Is it because of kissing? Isn’t that just to give you medicine?]

“Of course.”

The problem is that the person who did it was Richt. If someone else had done the same thing to save the patient, they would have looked at it indifferently.

“I should have brought Jin too.”

You act like a crazy person. It was a belated realization.

The doctor and Mary left to prepare medicine. So Richt was left alone with Van. Even though he had taken the medicine twice, he still couldn’t come to his senses for half of the time. I touched his arm and found it was hot. She puts a cold towel on my forehead and wipes away the sweat, but doesn’t try to relieve my fever.

Richt unconsciously held his hands together as if praying. Didn’t he know it would turn out like this when he left his class behind? It seems that I have viewed this world too lightly. My eyes became hot, as if tears were about to spill at any moment.

I pressed it with my hand and held back tears.

‘I don’t have the right to cry.’

I wasn’t going to cry until Ban woke up. Richt soaked the now hot towel in water again. As I squeezed the water out and wiped his cheek, Ban groaned faintly.

“… … eww.”

As I looked at him to see if he would wake up, my eyelashes fluttered. Soon, unfocused red eyes were revealed between the eyelids.

“half!”

When I called his name, his eyes became clearer. Blinking her eyes a few times, Van looked at Richt and raised the corners of her mouth.

‘I’m smiling.’

Why are you smiling when you’re so badly injured that you’re on the verge of life and death? Richt’s hand holding the towel gained strength. He asked several times, suppressing his welling emotions.

“Why are you laughing?”

Ban opened his mouth in response to Richt’s question. However, it seemed like her voice was not coming out properly, perhaps because her throat was dry. I quickly lifted the glass of water and poured it over her mouth, and she swallowed it with difficulty. Still, the voice did not come out clearly.

It was so small that you had to lean in to hear him. Richt stuttered and put together the words that came out in pieces. And the moment he understood what it meant, he bit his lip. My lips were tattered from his constant biting, but I didn’t feel any pain at this moment.

Ban said.

“… … “I’m glad you’re safe.”

Richt sat down helplessly in his chair. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and squeezed his eyes shut. Maybe this person is good. While he was thinking and thinking again, Ban’s eyes closed again.

I put my hand under my nose just to be sure and found that I was breathing properly.

‘It’s alive.’

I’m glad I didn’t die. Afterwards, a council member came in and inspected the class.

“I think we have passed the critical point. However, the wound is so severe that I will have to lie down for a while to receive treatment. “I’m fortunate to have a strong body.”

It is difficult for the average person to have a body as disciplined as Van. He may have been a mercenary, but his experience as a member of the National Assembly spoke volumes.

‘This man is a knight.’

The man named Richt whom Jin entrusted was also not ordinary. Just by looking at him, you could tell he was a nobleman. Still, neither the councilman nor the villagers said a word about it. Because they weren’t honorable people either.

This is a town where criminals and fugitives live together, so even if you work hard every day, all you can do is make ends meet. As I was barely surviving each day, Jin offered a helping hand.

The villagers were able to eat more and have more time to spare. So, this time too, the congressman will not ask anything or open his mouth. He handed Richt some medicine to take in the evening.

“Mary will bring you a meal.”

“Thank you.”

“you’re welcome.”

The congressman smiled and left the room. She was a little worried that her daughter Mary seemed to have fallen for Richt, but in time she would forget. Because I’m not going to stay here for long. All you have to do is fulfill your duty.

The doctor who gave the medicine left, and not long after, Mary stopped by. On her tray were bread, stew, and a bland-looking soup for Richt to eat.

“This is the patient style.”

Even if you just look at it, it looks like that. Richt took the tray and placed it on a nearby table. He said that even in modern times, the sicker you are, the more you need to eat. So, I guess I should feed this to my class. Ban closed his eyes again and was just breathing evenly.

After hesitating for a moment, I called my class.

“half.”

There was no answer back. When I looked out the window next to the bed, it was already dark outside.

“half.”

Even if I called it again, half of it was still the same. When he taps his arm with his hand, he groans. I guess I shouldn’t wake up like this. Richt touched his cheek, which was still intact.

Even worse than that, his cheeks were quite smooth. The feel is quite good. After rubbing it a few times, Ban opened his eyes with difficulty.

“It’s time to eat.”

I slowly blink at Richt’s words. First of all, it will be easier to eat if you raise your upper body a little. Richt put his arm behind Van’s back. Even though he barely did that, his arm is sore.

Should I have called someone to help me? Richt whined, lifted Van’s back and pushed a cushion under it. Okay, speaking in good conscience, I didn’t do it alone. This was possible because Ban, who came to his senses, lifted his back.

‘But it was successful.’

Consoling myself, I placed the soup bowl on my lap and picked up the spoon. She filled an appropriate amount of soup and brought it to her classmate’s mouth. Van was looking at her Licht with an unknown expression. She still seemed to be out of her wits.

Richt said, pressing Van’s lips with a spoon.

“ah.”

Only then did Ban open his lips. I swallow it easily because the soup is almost like water. Richt made a new bowl of soup every time he made sure Van was swallowing it. Normally, there are no spirits around to talk, so it’s quiet and nice.

After bringing the herbs, I saw him shaking his butt to praise me, so I coaxed him out and sent him outside. It was because I couldn’t control my emotions right now and it was difficult to take care of my spirit, but I think it was a good move. I was glad for the quiet for the first time in a while.

Ban emptied all of the soup and even swallowed the medicine he was given. All the while, my gaze never left Richt. My heart pounded under the persistent gaze. Van’s gaze always contained many things, and Richt was happy about that. He touched the area near his heart, which had begun to pound. Still, I’m glad that it’s not a face that shows emotional changes easily. At least that’s what Richt believed.

Richt laid Ban down again with an awkward expression. This time too, almost the entire class moved. Now that we had fed him half, it was his turn to eat. He broke off pieces of hard bread, added them to the stew, and ate little by little. It doesn’t taste good, but you have to eat it to move.

After eating half, I couldn’t eat any more. This is especially true because the mouth is originally short and the body is luxurious. Richt gave up eating any more and wiped his mouth.

“Is there somewhere uncomfortable?”

When I asked Ban, he answered.

“it’s okay.”

It won’t be okay. How many major injuries did you hear from the congressman? While I was looking at him with a worried expression, Ban opened his mouth again.

“… … “This must be a dream, right?”

“dream?”

For the first time, Van took his gaze away from Richt and lowered his eyes.

“If it wasn’t a dream, this couldn’t have happened.”

He speaks for a long time and then coughs.

“Do not say. “You can’t push yourself any further.”

Richt interrupted, but half did not stop.

“It’s okay because it was a dream.”

“It’s not a dream.”

“That can’t be right.”

Half of the people seemed to completely believe that this situation was a dream.
