C 52
Here's the translation of the provided text into English:
"No, I told you that if you touch the lady carelessly, you will be punished.
Still... she's very adorable. Did you see how her chubby cheeks tremble every time she walks? Ugh... It hurts my heart.
I know you like cute things, but your silly comments are too much.
Hey, Millie.
What?
Will the lady's cheeks be softer or the buns?
This idiot... Of course, the lady's cheeks!
The voices coming from all directions gave me goosebumps.
"Is something strange happening?"
The conversation took a strange turn.
But it's understandable that the ice-cold wall, young master Erno, could melt at once. Look at that pink hair.
Ice-cold wall...?
Erno Etham has such a cheesy nickname.
"As expected from a fantasy world."
Is it a bit like "I am the strongest iron wall in the world, the best of all!"?
The other day, he greeted me with a big smile but with a halo of truth...
That's right, he always greets me when I see him...
Mayla, that lady is wicked. Putting such a sin on such a beautiful person...
My shoulders shook wildly at the name I heard.
"Mayla..."
With Erno Etham on my side, Mayla obviously wouldn't have ended well.
Even if Erno Etham had let her go, I remember the ending wasn't good.
Still, I'm glad they sided with me.
I rummaged in the pockets of my waist, took out three candies, and approached the maid who was working while looking at me.
They might think I'm deaf, but as I've said many times, my hearing is very good.
Hello!
When I gathered the courage to approach and smiled broadly, the three maids screamed and clung to the wall.
Miss?
What are you doing here?
We didn't say anything.
The three of them nodded desperately at the same time.
That's right...
Okay, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.
This is for you! Candies!
Uh... Is she giving it to us?
Yes! One, one, and one!
I gave each of them a candy. They all knelt down and reverently accepted the sweet.
"No, kneeling and accepting some candies..."
Is it inevitable because there's a class system?
Still, I haven't officially entered the family registry yet.
I don't know.
Good is good.
Thank you.
They're a bear and a rabbit! Aren't they cute?
The candy was shaped like a bear and a rabbit, so to be honest, it was a pity to eat it.
Have you seen my sister Sharnae?
Ah, if you're looking for Lady Sharnae... She should probably be in her room.
Thanks, then I'm going!
I waved my hand.
As I was about to turn around, I suddenly had a mischievous thought, so I lightly pressed my lips with my index finger and opened my mouth.
So... the unnies* are cute too.
I whispered quietly, then turned around and quickly walked away before anyone caught me.
Aww, I'm embarrassed.
I was used to praising someone, but somehow I felt a little embarrassed.
Kyaaaaaa!
Let's pretend we didn't hear the cheers coming from behind.
I ran straight to Sharnae's room.
I knocked on the door with my little hand, and there was a creaking inside.
Who is it?
Unlike when dealing with me, my body paused for a moment at the voice that clearly showed signs of fatigue.
Did I come here when she was too busy?
I thought I should just go back, but I was already here.
Sister, it's Eirin...
Oh? Oh?! Eirin?
Yes...
Wait a minute! Just a minute!
Tarang-tran!
Inside, a sound that would only be heard in a war echoed.
After waiting in front of the door for 10 minutes, the door burst open.
A sweaty face and a slightly clumsy hairpin appeared first.
She had put on a dress, but somehow everything looked a bit messy.
"Haha, there are... cockroaches in the room... I'm sorry. I just caught them and threw them out."
She opened the door wide.
"Come in."
Sharnae's smiling face had the ability to melt people's feelings.
The room was clean.
It was so clean that it was a bit unusual. The closet door was wide open, and something was poking out of the gap.
"Is that... a photo frame?"
What photo frame would be in a closet?
As I was looking at the closet, Sharnae naturally closed the door and entered, pressing against the closet door.
"Were you busy?"
"I was resting while thinking that tomorrow I should enter the imperial palace."
"The imperial palace?"
"Yes, the second prince is not feeling well. So His Majesty asked me if I could use my powers once more. It will be the third time tomorrow."
"Ah..."
It's that time already.
"Enosh..."
The reason the emperor spoke to Sharnae must have been because Enosh's condition was gradually deteriorating.
"Still, I thought the epidemic had been quickly controlled..."
Is it possible to change the fate that has been decided?
Unfortunately, Sharnae's ability is simply to calm the "berserk" state and "purify" dragon blood, so it won't be effective for congenital diseases.
Still, through these few encounters, Sharnae and Enosh suddenly become close friends.
... Yes, that's the story.
She's a simple secondary character created to drive the story.
"But I haven't used my ability yet."
"Why not?"
"The prince is very sensitive because he's ill. He gets very angry and is a bit... violent."
Who wouldn't do anything wrong if they were told they would die soon?
Moreover, Enosh was a prince who was born with everything. He also had a will to live.
However, he wasn't born with good health, so he lived with "death" his whole life.
He must have lived with doctors' comments saying he would die young.
Everyone must have sympathized with Enosh.
Maybe Enosh didn't like that.
That's why he also likes Sharnae.
Because of Sharnae's white lie when she said she didn't sympathize with him.
"Ah, Eirin!"
"Yes?"
"Would you like to go see the prince with me tomorrow? Because I don't like going alone... I think I'll be brave if I go with you."
"Mmm..."
But they said my tutor would come tomorrow.
"Then, my tutor should come tomorrow, should I ask Grandfather for permission?"
"Yes! Uh, I want to go with you, but I have something to do right now. Is it okay if you go alone?"
"Yes."
"Let's have dinner together later!"
"Yes!"
"My room is a bit messy, and I need to tidy it up... Be careful, Eirin!"
Sharnae hugged me tightly and said.
"Ugh, it's soft..."
Sharnae rubbed her cheek against mine, then sighed and stood up.
"Now that I think about it, I have a gift for you."
"A gift?"
"Yes, a tiger lollipop!"
Sharnae said as she took out a large lollipop from a drawer.
It seemed like a waste to eat the candy shaped like a cute tiger.
Sharnae unwrapped it, placed it in my hand, and even put it in my mouth.
"Aww, it's so cute..."
The girl who had been fluttering around took out a bead from somewhere and handed it over.
"Eirin, can you hold the lollipop and look over here for a moment?!"
"Eh?"
When I tilted my head while holding a lollipop as big as my face,
Sharnae placed the bead on the blanket, clenched her fists, and started hitting the bed.
"...What, what's happening?"
I was a little scared and took a step back.
"Cough, hmm..."
The heroine smiled at me as if she were embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, did I scare you? My heart hurt for a moment..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sharnae's nose started bleeding.
I was surprised by the nosebleed that suddenly erupted, so I approached, but the blood flowed even more strongly.
"Sis! Are you okay...?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. This happens often these days. Hehehe."
She forced a laugh and covered her nose with a handkerchief.
"No, you're bleeding."
She wasn't really a terminally ill woman or a sick woman, so why is she doing this?
Embarrassed, I threw my hands in the air and could barely say.
"Should I call the doctor?"
"No, it's okay. It will get better soon. Eirin, go quickly! In the meantime, I'll call the doctor and sort things out."
"Yes..."
She said it was okay, so I had no choice but to nod and leave the female protagonist's room.
