Chapter 80 (1/2)

The Reincarnated Princess’ Fear

Don!

Loud noises continued to echo from above

I breathed in and restrainedheart to the sudden shock that came out of nowhere

'It's alright, Klaus will protect me'

The sailors were also fighting and Wolf said he would lend a hand after all

'I have to believe in them and do what I have to do' I told myself and turned to face the person in front of me

Kurt’s fracture treat and the sheath together as support

Besides broken bones and bruises, there was no noticeable trauma, but I was afraid to move him around so that's why he was laid down on the floor To substitute a pillow, a folded cloth was used instead

His suffering was still clear as day however

Deep wrinkles formed on his brows, his red cheeks swollen and a thin layer of sweat coated his forehead Perhaps froht up a fever

“…”

Kurt struggled a sroan Sweat fell down from his forehead as he waved his head around with a painful face

I brushed away his fringe and wiped his forehead with a cloth

The small scratches and cuts looked painful

I would love to clean the blood and mud off his wounds, but that's impossible until Miss Bianca return from the kitchen with more water

As I gently wiped the er, Kurt's closed eyelids began to move

“Kurt?”

As if responding to my call, his eyelids slowly opened At first there were no life in those eyes, but after a few seconds had passed, life returned to the around

Using his right hand, he traced the sheets with his fingers Noticing that he was searching for so his hand with both of th could be felt from him

“Kurt”

Again, I called his name

His eyes in of the voice I found myself reflected in his eyes His lips started to move… But there was no sound

I wanted to grant him any demands he wished

There were only a handful of things I could possibly do right now, but even then

“Please say it again one more time” I asked him to repeat those voiceless words

But Kurt did not try to open his mouth Instead he stared at h fever

His right hand gently extended and somehow brushed my cheeks

His fingertips gently stroked entle that one would doubt if there was really any force behind it at all

I would never brush away his hand, but it tickled a little bit While staring at me orried about what to do, he smiled softly

“The Goddess… was here… all this time…”

“Huh?”

The littlewas drowned in the clamour upstairs

But before he could repeat hibecame more audible

I wonder what he said

However, looking at his expression, I think that it was neither unpleasant nor painful

I gave a quick sigh, grabbed a bed sheet and covered Kurt with it

“Mary, sorry for the wait!”

“Miss Bianca”

Miss Bianca who ran into the rooot up and took the tub she handed over

“Sorry for all the ruckus”

“No, it's good that you came back safely”

“It's alright It seems that the enemy haven't reached the lower decks yet… But…”

“?”

While whispering to aze away from me

When I was about the ask her…

The door behind Miss Bianca opened

Miss Bianca took my hand and pulled me behind her

“Excuse us”

“I'm sorry, Mary!”

“Mia?”

Mia said as she came in Besides her stood a manservant with Miss Flora held in his arms

“An injured person is sleeping Please be quiet”

Mia apologised to Miss Bianca for being rowdy The ave a sently laid Miss Flora down

Miss Flora was scared out of her wits, pale and tre her knees like a ball seemed to be smaller than usual

“I was only hiding in the kitchen I so I'm sorry Mary”

“I will also apologise I was looking for anything that could function as a weapon or armour in the kitchen but they were all cleared out beforehand…”

With an 'I aentlemen lowered his head

“Where is her escort?”

Certainly, Miss Flora must have an exclusive escort

In response to my question the old man opened his mouth, but Miss Flora's loud shout cut hi

“Upstairs! He left ht!”

“Miss Flora, please keep quiet”

Miss Flora as frightened just now had her anger exceeded her fear She ignored Mia's warnings and rolled up in her bed with tears of regret pouring out from her eyes

“Even though he's just an escort! How could he leave my side at such an iet home!”

“Miss Flora”

“What?!”

I called out standing next to her She glared at me with her teary eyes

“Shut up”

“Why the hell are you order-“

“If you make too much noise, it could attract the enemy”

“Ku…”

Miss Flora who snapped at me sed my words after much persistence

If you look at her expression, one could tell she was not completely convinced

“But… This is not right… “

Muttered Miss Flora in a tiny voice The little droplets forravity

Were those tears because of your frustration towards the escort, or was it because of the situation you're in?

It's probably both

I could not think of any co tears

Resentainst unreasonable circumstances, even I wouldn't be able to come to terms with it either

My head knew that ere being attacked by pirates, butcatch-up

'Why do you steal? Why do you hurt others?'
