5. Starting point

[Young master. Today the weather is good indeed. I don’t know what the weather is like at the Duke’s house, but I hope it’s a weather where I can feel the same emotions as I do.

The gift you sent me last time was well received. It’s the 2nd anniversary. Young master still likes to create something special to celebrate. Because of Young master, I also got into the habit of making a special day every year to celebrate.

The day I exchanged a letter with Young master for the first time, the day I received a bookmark, or the day Young master came to visit me because I was particularly ill and the reply to the letter was late.

Others may ask why we commemorate such days, but to me they are all special days. Because… It’s the day I made memories with Young master. To me, that’s more special than anything else.

Every time I send and receive letters like this, my feelings for Young master grow deeper and deeper. Looking forward to the next meeting we promised, I will shorten the letter today.]

[I’m not feeling well today, so please forgive the short length of the letter. Young master always sends me long letters, but I’m telling you in advance that if my answer is short, you might be mistaken for a cold heart.

You seem to have a slight cold, so please refrain from visiting me in the hospital or sending me gifts. Also, like the last time, I’m not in a serious condition to receive a gift like the last time, a carriage full of flowers, or a porridge that I made myself.

The heart of Young master is fully received and filled. I am only Young master, so don’t worry, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge, so please be careful not to catch a cold. If someone who has already been infected says it, it won’t be convincing. I’ll just shorten the letter.]

[My cold seems to be getting worse day by day. It’s really sad that we have to postpone the date we promised this time. Even if it hurts, I thought it would be better if I could see Young master’ face, hear his voice, and see his kind smile… But since Young master didn’t give permission, I can’t help it.

I heard there was a flu epidemic, but I didn’t think I would catch it. Thanks to you, I feel sick to my stomach because I can’t even see Young master.

Beside me, Emily notices that I’m growing up quickly. I look forward to seeing you in a healthy state the next time we meet.]

[Young master. I think the flu is a bit critical, so I’m sending a letter first even though I haven’t received a reply. The temple doctor said that stability is the top priority, so I don’t think I’ll be able to write a letter for a while.

Emily nags me when I hear only the pen, so she secretly writes like this. She is waiting for the new attendant to deliver this time. It’s a pity that she’s shaking for fear of getting scolded by Emily later, whoops.

I am waiting for the day when I can get well soon and run to Young master. I want to see you, Gongja.]

[Dear Proden Excellent Young master.

Hello, Young master. He is the butler of Count Eravasta. Currently, the lady is in critical condition, so I am delivering a letter on her behalf.

Two priests and three temple doctors have come from the temple and are currently diagnosing the condition of the lady. According to the diagnosis results so far, you said it was just a simple flu, but I’m contacting you because it doesn’t seem to be that.

First of all, I would like to tell you that even if you visit the temple, you will not be able to see it in person even if you visit the temple.

Thank you for the potion you sent. The priests also said that it helped a lot in their treatment.

It is said that it is not life-threatening, but there is someone who is worried about Young master, who is still waiting for him, so he writes for him.

The lady asked me to deliver it like this if she loses consciousness for a few days.

As soon as the lady’s condition recovers, we will contact you first.]

[Dear Young master.

Thanks to your concern, my condition has improved a lot. I think she must have been frustrated because she couldn’t even come because of the temple’s instructions forbidding visits.

I think you’ll be completely healed in a few days, so I’ll visit you at the duke’s house then. I also want to say thank you and I have something to say to Young master, so please don’t refuse.

I hope you stay healthy until then.]

“The young lady’s consciousness must have returned. Thank god.”

Froden sighed in relief as he folded the letter delivered by the count’s vassal. She looked at her vassal, who was waiting for her to finish reading the brief letter.

“Has there been any other messages? Seeing that the content of the letter is also short, it seems that you are still not feeling well.”

“All the young lady delivered to me was the letter that Young master was holding.”

“I’d like to visit you in my heart… But it’s embarrassing when Young lady says she wants to come in person. What did the temple say?”

“The temple said it would be cured in 3-4 days. Young master gave him a lot of potions, so he came to his senses sooner than expected, and he said thank you. Thank you for working hard for our lady.”

Seeing the vassal bowing her head deeply to express her gratitude, Froden trembled in humility.

“What? My fiancée is in critical condition to call her priest, but I’ll do all I can. Isn’t that the duty for the one she loves?”

Froden took up her stationery and pen as she said that. If it is difficult to visit in person, I would like to express my feelings to Young lady by writing a response to this letter.

“Please wait in the guest room for a moment. I will write a reply soon.”

At that, the vassal began to hesitate as if embarrassed. Froden, who was about to pick up a pen and write a letter, was puzzled by the vassal’s appearance.

“Do you have anything to say?”

I wondered if it was because it was difficult to talk to him first, so I talked to the vassal. However, rather than that, the vassal’s words seemed a bit embarrassing, so he showed hesitation.

“Don’t be so intimidated, don’t feel embarrassing, and speak calmly.”

At that, the vassal hardened her face and lowered her head slightly to open her mouth.

“I’m sorry, Gongja. The young lady said that if Young master said she would write down an answer, she told me to refuse.”

A high-ranking aristocrat was in a situation where he could get his throat cut if he tried to stop him from doing so. Of course, Froden knew from her past life that such an act was futile, so she passed on without hesitation.

“It must be difficult to read the letter yet. Got it. Then I’ll be busy with work, so it’s okay to step back. Great job.”

“Thank you for your generosity, Young master, I will step back.”

As soon as the count’s vassal withdrew, Froden called Hadun. Appearing in his usual upright position at the call of his own master, he awaited Froden’s command.

“Has anyone infiltrated the temple located in the count’s house?”

“One priest and five chores are infiltrating.”

“Tell the priest to find out what kind of treatment the staff dispatched to the county gave, and contact the workers to organize and report all the rumors that have been circulating in the temple for the past week. I need to know exactly what kind of disease the young lady suffered from.”

He also had knowledge of modern medicine from his previous life, though not exactly. It would have been useless if it were just one person’s incomplete memory, but Froden’s memory was like a library. If he had glanced at anything in his previous life, he remembered it clearly as if he had taken a photograph.

“I will move the personnel as you commanded.”

Froden leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes as he looked at Hadoon, who lowered his head and quickly stepped forward. The distant feeling he felt when he received the last ghostwritten letter crept up. Thinking that he might lose the young lady, he blamed himself for not doing anything.

“I can’t just stare at you like this.”

Isn’t it that you have been moving and preparing until this time to prepare for this kind of event? He found a way to deal with it by rolling around different ideas that came to his mind.

He had no intention of waiting inside his mansion, sucking his fingers.

———

“Please break off the marriage with me, Gongja.”

At those words, Froden felt his mind wander. It was a shock that could not be compared to anything he had ever felt in his life.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden, young lady? You joke too much.”

I trembled and spoke casually, but I couldn’t control my trembling voice.

“I want to marry the person I love, not the person someone else has arranged for me to marry. Young master is an undeservedly good person to me, but he is not someone I love.”

Is the young lady in front of me right now the same one who whispered love and promised each other a future?

Maybe someone else is tricking me in disguise. Could it be that someone is manipulating the young lady’s body? Maybe I’m still sick and I’m saying the wrong thing.

If that’s not the case, are you serious about breaking up?

“Young lady, it seems that you are still not feeling well. I guess I allowed the visit.”

“No. My body and mind are fine. Young master. I am serious.”

I tried to calm down and calm down before talking, but what came back was the cold truth. Young lady was not a woman who would make a joke about this. If the young lady in front of me was real, then those cruel words that came out of her mouth were the truth.

Froden caught her consciousness trying to get away from her shock and called her Hadun and sent her daughter back to the county as if to drive her away. He ordered Hadun to check the count’s condition, but this feeling did not go away.

“If what I have seen, heard and felt is true, then I will give up. Young lady.”

I went back to my office and went through the letters I had received so far. Until Hadun returned, she had to keep her mind at least for a while.

It should be.
