Akid asked as he lay Loena on her bed.

“By any chance, did Wife have any chronic diseases?”

“Yes? Ah, no… She was a healthy person, though…” Hannah stuttered with tearful eyes.

Akid said slowly, even though he was sweating from carrying Loena on his back.

“I gave her first aid because she couldn’t breathe well, but… First of all, she needs to be diagnosed by a doctor…”

“Kyakk! Miss!”

Then Vivian, who had gone to change the seat, screamed as she saw Loena struggling. She immediately placed a bottle of water roughly on the table, then walked over to the bed and looked over at Loena.

“H-How did this happen…”

“Suddenly she collapsed and I…”

It was around the time when Akid frowned and licked his lips.

“Where is the patient?”

The doctor opened the door and wanted to come in, and he hurriedly checked her condition.

Akid sighed in relief that the doctor had arrived on time. Then he sat down on a nearby chair.

‘Phew, that’s a relief.’

Then only Hannah was surprised once more to see the condition of Akid.

“Grand Prince, your shoes…”

“Ah.”

Akid looked at his feet at Hannah’s words and let out a groan. He had lost a shoe somewhere, so he was wearing only one shoe.

‘Was it that urgent?’

Akid laughed in vain at his non-aristocratic behavior.

Don’t run even if you’re in a hurry.

Don’t show your expression in every matter.

Don’t walk with your back bent like a scoundrel.

It was the advice that Baron Locke used to give out when he was a tutor.

At the same time, he secretly gave insults that he didn’t look like a noble because he was an illegitimate child.

He lived with caution, but it seems that his old nature leaked out and came out in the middle of Loena’s fainting.

When Akid was silent, Hannah carefully opened her mouth.

“I’ll bring you another pair of shoes.”

“Yes.”

Hannah disappeared quickly as Akid nodded his head, wiping his face.

After a while, the doctor who finished the examination said.

“Fortunately, thanks to the good first aid, her life was saved.”

“Why did she suddenly faint?”

“That is… It appears to be an allergic reaction.”

“What?”

Akid’s eyes widened at the word ‘allergic’. Vivian, who was beside him, remarked.

“Is it possible? Our Miss never had such a disease…”

“But this symptom is shock from an acute allergic reaction.”

When the doctor answered firmly, Vivian said to herself, not knowing what to do.

“It’s strange. When we were in April’s Castle, she was able to get around even during the changing seasons…”

“Has she ever been to a place where there is a lot of dust today?”

Vivian answered the doctor’s question.

“Ah, she went to the seed farm to see the seeds. But our Miss isn’t allergic to pollen, though?”

Akid paused the moment she said that she was fine when she was in April’s Castle and that she wasn’t normally allergic to pollen.

‘No way…’

Akid instantly remembered Loena, who was smiling softly in the garden of Delus flowers.

He thought it was a good thing that her cheeks were redder than usual.

“It seems that her immune system has weakened since she came to Hadellus. I will prescribe some medicine for her health.”

It was the time when the doctor was about to leave after completing the diagnosis. Akid asked as he got up from her chair.

“Is there any Delus flower in April’s Castle?”

Vivian’s eyes widened at Akid’s sudden question.

“There’s no way there’s any Delus flower in the warm April’s Castle. We all came here and saw it for the first time.” Vivian frowned and responded that it was something she didn’t know at all.

Akid pondered her words and asked the doctor.

“Did Loena show similar symptoms around this time last year?”

“I don’t know. I should check the chart…”

It was the time when the doctor was about to stop talking in an evocative manner. Vivian said, clasping her hands.

“Ah! That’s right, last year she was sick like this.”

“…”

“I think it was on a mild level back then… Her cheeks were very red like now.”

Vivian shivered and looked at Loena sadly.

She seemed to blame herself for not understanding her master’s physical condition properly.

Akid asked, biting his lower lip.

“Is that the day she went out with Mother and came back alone?”

“Gasp, how did you know? She told me to keep it a secret…” Vivian opened her eyes and muffled her words.

Then, Akid wiped his face and said to the doctor.

“It’s because of the Delus flower.”

“Yes?”

When the senator suddenly asked a question as if he was wondering what he was talking about, Akid replied coolly.

“She passed out in the garden of Delus flower.”

“Why is that…”

“If it hadn’t been for the nonexistence of Delus flowers in April’s Castle, I wouldn’t have known that she was allergic to delus flowers.”

“Ah.” The doctor then found a blind spot and exclaimed.

Akid grabbed his arm at the doctor’s complacency.

“If you had made a similar diagnosis back then, shouldn’t you have done a thorough examination at least once?”

“It was at a mild level at the time, and it was very difficult to find the cause of allergies…”

The doctor was sweating profusely and didn’t know what to do.

Akid tried to get a little angry at the doctor’s insolent behavior.

He was well aware of his place in Hadellus Castle in the first place.

Since the Grand Duke couple were openly indifferent, it was only for a moment that even the servants became indifferent.

Akid was used to that indifference. Rather, it was rather inconvenient and awkward to be given attention.

But he never imagined that they would be so indifferent to Loena.

‘Nope. In the first place, she is my wife, so I was wrong to expect that they would treat her differently.’

Akid let out a self-conscious laugh.

He couldn’t believe that it was so bad they didn’t even take care of the Young Madam’s health.

He clenched his fists involuntarily.

[Just, look at me the way I am.]

He remembered Loena’s words with a bright smile. He thought he knew her well.

He evaluated that it was impossible to fix because he was proud of himself, and never showed respect for the elders.

Therefore, it was his job to stop her, and he focused only on the minimum duties as a husband.

‘Did she not want to be found out that she’s allergic to Delus flowers, because she’s going to be the Grand Duchess of Hadellus?’

If it was the Loena he knew, it was enough.

Rather than revealing her secrets, she must have deliberately chosen to destroy it.

Akid sighed inwardly. He felt pitiful for himself for not being able to grasp her immature behavior.

Of course, he didn’t even notice that he was too young.

The position of the successor to Hadellus was always severe for him to be tolerated because he was ‘young’.

Akid spoke to the doctor, unaware that he was angry with himself.

“I’m not going to let this go.”

Then he slammed the door and walked out. He was planning to go straight to his father.

“Grand Prince…!”

The doctor panicked and tried to follow him, but Vivian caught him.

“Where are you going without doing the treatment?!”

***

My whole body was itchy. When I slowly opened my eyes, I was already in my room. My body was paralyzed and tingling, but now I’m fine.

My head was still pounding, but my condition wasn’t that bad.

Rather, I felt refreshed because I was sweating. Then the familiar scent of incense reached the tip of my nose.

‘Oh my, I can smell it now?’

Even my shriveled ears could hear even the small noises of life every time the servants moved.

‘Wow, I thought I was going to die.’

My body trembled at the sensation of paralyzing all five senses for the first time in my life.

I was scared for nothing, so I clenched my hand and tried to open it, but one of my hands was heavy. It’s like being caught by someone.

As I slowly turned my head to the side, I saw that black hair.

“Akid?”

He flinched at the startling remarks. After a while, hazy gray eyes stared at me.

Unlike the usual clear light, it looked a little dull.

Should I say that he looks like a person who has been taking care for someone for a long time?

‘What? Have I been lying down for quite some time?’

Akid blinked his eyes as if he was half asleep.

Seeing the sun beating behind his back, it felt like it was morning. Akid’s appearance in the sun was truly fantastic.

‘Ah, isn’t this really heaven? An angel named Akid came to meet me.’

My heart was pounding at the sight of Akid who had just woken up in the morning.

Oh my gosh, I never thought I’d be lucky enough to see the face of Akid who just woke up.

If this opportunity comes often, I won’t curse you no matter how many times I give up, Lord.

That time when delusions naturally creeped up. Suddenly, I realized that he had been sleeping in my room.

What do you mean Akid who took care of me all night? It was a great development when I remembered the time he built thorns like a hedgehog.

‘I think my excuses worked quite well.’

I forgot my pain and couldn’t hide my joy. I was so happy to be recognized that I even greeted him brightly.

“Good morning. Um, is it morning?”

“!!”

Akid, who finally came to his senses, jumped up his upper body belatedly.

His hand naturally also fell off, and I clenched and opened my fist with regret.

“Are you okay?”

I nodded quietly as Akid asked in a worried voice.

“Are you sick somewhere?”

Hm, my heart hurts.

Because Akid is so handsome.
