Chapter 180: Chapter 180

“He’s right, my lady. Don’t get up yet. You should take a good rest for a while. ”

“But…”

“If you insist, let me give you a pillow, so you can lean on it.”

“Ah…Thanks, Sein. ”

Carsein helped me lean against several pillows, then pulled up a thick blanket and covered me.

Tilting my head, I looked at Carsein because he looked different up close. With his neatly trimmed hair, deeper eyes and sharp aura, he was very different from the old him that I used to know.

Has something happened to him while I was in bed?

When I looked at him again suspiciously, Carsein, who was tidying up the blankets, asked, tilting his head to the side, “What’s the matter, Tia?”

“Oh, nothing. By the way, where is my father …? ”

“He’s still in the Imperial Palace. He is coming back soon. ”

“I see.”

When I answered with a subdued voice, Carsein, who looked at me silently, said to the High Priest, “Your Eminence, why don’t you take a short break? I think you had better explain what happened since you arrived here after her father arrived.”

“Sounds good. As her poisoning has been neutralized, I think I can take a break. See you a little later, Lady Monique.”

“Ah, yes.”

When the High Priest disappeared, Carsein approached me carefully, sat at my bedside and put his hands on my cheeks. At that moment, I felt his hands suddenly hardening with a twitch.

“Sein, what’s wrong?”

He murmured as he hurriedly pulled me hard.

“Huh?”

“Your cheeks feel warm… ”

“…Sein.”

“What a relief! I feel so relieved now. It’s so fortunate that you received treatment before it was too late…”

When he kept reciting the words with a hoarse voice, I lifted my wobbly arm and patted his back slowly.

Initially, I tasted bitter for some reason. If I had hurriedly called for help when I felt something was wrong, I would not have ended up in this situation. I thought I caused trouble to many people around me because I took my condition too lightly.

Carsein, who had been burying his face in my shoulder for a long time, carefully disengaged me from his chest and stroked my cheeks gently with his large hand.

“Never again…”

“Huh?”

“I thought I could never see you again, Tia. I thought I couldn’t hear your voice. ”

“… Sorry.”

“So, don’t be sick, Tia. Please! I don’t want to see you sick anymore. ”

“Yes, I won’t be sick.”

I felt heartbroken when he looked at me with tearful eyes. He stopped when I was trying to lower my head out of a sense of guilt, and said in a subdued voice.

“Don’t feel that way, Tia. You know it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other like this.”

“…Sein.”

“I missed you a lot, Tia.”

“Me, too.” When I barely smiled at him, he looked a bit relaxed.

At that moment, I heard somebody knocking on the door. Shortly afterwards, Lina stepped into the room and said, bowing to me, “Marquis Monique has just come.”

“Oh, let me go downstairs, so please take care of the lady. ”

“Yes, Sir Carsein.”

Watching him giving her instructions casually, I was dumbfounded because I didn’t know he was close enough to instruct her like that.

As if he noticed me gazing at him, he smiled slightly at me and walked out of the room, saying that he would escort my father here.

Lina approached me cautiously and looked at me crying.

“My lady, you’ve regained your consciousness! What a relief. I’m so happy.”

“It’s been a long time, Lina. How have you been?”
