The Second Prince’s Struggle
OnceNacht and the others off, we hts supported hie entrusted to me by Nacht
A structure built out of wood and straw caate
The knights carried Marx into the main house in the front
As soon as we entered, a horrible smell made my eyebrorinkleI was surprised by what jus poorly laid out on the floor
Their uniforhts, and their faces were all red with a high feverI knew at first glance that it was the disease
“This is awful…”
Not only is this place craieneJust s the odour from the mixture of sweat and dust in the air made my head spin
I quickly entered and pushed open aThe refreshi+ng wind flew in and swept away the stagnant air in the rooain
“Whether it be supplies or pair of hands, there’s just not enough to go around”
One of the knights lamented as he laid Marx down on a bed
As I had suspected, no additional supplies were ever sent in
“I wish to draw some waterMay I knohere the well is?”
“I’ll help you”
Accoe was eerily quietWe rarely came across the populace, and the people we did see often looked exhausted and lifeless
The seldoroans that can be heard dropped the temperature down a notch further
Advertiseht threw a roped bucket into itA strange wo the bucket
“Hey, youI’ve never seen you beforeAre you froht quickly intercepted her and pushed the woman away from me
But the woman wasn’t deterred and tried to reach out foranyPlease, please help ht there”
I handed the rope over to the knight and returned to fetchand hastily made my way over to the wo in a simple bedThe boy had a beet-red face and his limp body laid in the bed with his thin limbs thrown aboutIt felt like any of his small breaths could be his last
“…”
The appearance of a dying child weighed inedI scoldeda knee beside the child’s bedI began wiping the sweat away fro hotI dipped the cloth in cold water before wringing it and replaced it on his forehead to cool him down
“Son! My son…!”
On the other side, hishis eyelashes to treht brown pupils that couldn’t see
“…?”
“Can you drink water?”
When his eyes caught ure, they twinkled in confusionI asked hihtly nodded in return
I supported his back as he drankI wanted hi a child, I was afraid that anything that goes in would co over the medicine, I switched roles with the mother
“Let him drink plenty of water so that he won’t be dehydratedWarm water is a must, and a little mix of salt is even betterIf he vomits,will clog up his throat”
“Th-Thank you very much!”
It was a bittersweet moment
These methods simply alleviate the syht noon’t say anything, because their will to live would be extinguished if their sliver of hope was crushed
When I opened the doors to return to where the knights were,outside
“Um! I heard that there is medicine here!”
“Give me a bit too, would ya?”
“Is there no food anywhere!?”
I pushed my way out ahead and held up my hand
Everyone’s eyes were bloodshotThey were all desperate, for themselves and their loved ones, to live
“Please cal!”
The noise subsided a little when I announced soIt seemed like the instinct to protect children still reed to calm them down and told thehts were later
