I became the sick nobelman

At the sound of birds always heard in the mansion, Ruel opened his eyes.

I looked around in a hurry and it was really the mansion.

'How long did I... sleep?'

I didn't have a clue.

There was no Leo, and there was no Cassion.

'A day must have passed.'

Considering the current strength of recovery, that was just the right amount.

"Cassion."

"Did you wake up?"

Cassion emerged from the shadows.

Maybe he was cooking, but he took off his usual suit top.

"How long did I sleep?"

"You slept for a day and a half."

Ruel was relieved for now.

He had been unconscious for four days before, so he didn't feel sick enough to at least get there.

"Aris and Leo?"

"He's playing and training. He must have realized something since he went on the quest."

It's a good sign.

Ruel drew an arc with the corners of his mouth.

"I heard you asked Hina about curses."

"Yes."

"Why are you suddenly talking about curses? A curse that doesn't contain a mana is simply a word."

"... Yes, that's right."

I answered calmly, but I couldn't hide my disappointment easily.

Cassion asked quietly, "Are you having a hard time with your illness?"

"No, it's the same as usual, it's just that the Red Ash and the time I got sick overlapped. It made me think for a while."

"Did you say it overlaps?"

"Didn't I tell you? Originally I was healthy, but I had this disease five years ago."

"I've never heard of it before."

"I heard it for the first time from my uncle, too."

Ruel put down his clasped hands on his knees.

"Do you want to learn about curses? To be honest, you're not going to get much."

"What do you think my illness is?"

"I think my personal opinion will only lead to confusion. The medical doctor and pharmacist sent by His Highness will arrive around 5pm today, so why not check it out with them then?"

"They're coming so fast."

Ruel inhaled the Breath.

It would have taken some time even if Banios went back to the royal family first.

'Did you send it in advance because you knew I'd accept your offer?'

Whatever it was, Ruel decided to put aside his thoughts about his disease until they came.

"What about the Birds?"

"It can move now."

"Then release the birds and dig behind Banios Leponia to see who the hidden ears are in Setiria."
