The Return of the Female Knight

CHAPTER 36: the only time 1

As soon as Elena arrived at the inn, she was told that Mirabelle had lost consciousness and fainted. It was clear that Mary was not expecting the situation and was confused as to what to do.

"What's? Why didn't you tell me right away? ”

"Well .. I sent someone but they must miss you, ma'am."

"Have you called the doctor?"

"Yes, he's seen the doctor …"

“Which Mirabelle room is now? Take me to him immediately. "

Following Mary's lead, Elena rushed to the room where Mirabelle was. The nobles rarely ran, but Elena did not care about the dignity now. Her heart was pounding in her chest thinking Mirabelle was injured as she left. The screams of Mirabelle who was defiled in her last life resounded loudly in Elena's ears.

Bang out!

He opened the door and ran into the–

And saw Mirabelle lying on the bed breathing regularly. Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

"…Thank you God."

Fortunately, Mirabelle did not appear to be in pain. Elena approached her sleeping sister, attracted to her like a magnet, and gently swept her hand over her face. The warmth of Mirabelle made Elena's eyes cry. Elena looked at her beloved sister's face, eager to find any signs of injury when something that should not have been there caught her attention. That's coat. The blanket that covered Mirabelle mostly obscured her at first, but now Elena could see her sister wearing clothes that were too big. Mirabelle gripped him tightly, and Elena had no choice but to ask a question.

"… Where did this come from?"

However, a strong memory told him about the owner of the suit.

Kuhn Kasha's.

Why does Mirabelle have her coat? Elena turned towards Mary who was standing behind her. Mary immediately noticed what Elena wanted to ask and opened her mouth to speak.

"All right!"

"Shh."

Elena raised her finger to her lips, then pointed to the door and nodded that they should come out. The two women quietly left the room and only spoke after they were some distance away from him.

"Whose coat is that?"

"I don't know. Actually ... When I went to the room to ask the innkeeper to raise the heater, I heard that Miss Mirabelle collapsed. "

"Here you? From whom?"

"I thought it was an employee, but I was too busy to remember it."

After listening to Mary's story, Elena remembered where she had asked Kuhn to wait for her.

"Is that my room where Mirabelle collapsed?"

"Yes that's right! It's in your room, Miss Elena. Maybe he went there himself. "

"I saw…"

Maybe it was Kuhn who helped Mirabelle when she saw her fall. But that doesn't solve the mystery of why Mirabelle wears her coat, or why she holds it so tightly. Elena will ask Kuhn directly and find out. However, before doing so, Elena had to deal with Mary.

“Mirabelle has a weak constitution, and you leave your position without leaving someone to replace you. What if something more serious happens to Mirabelle when I leave? "

"… I'm sorry, Madam."

"I'll let this pass this time, but if this happens again, you have to be ready."

"Yes, ma'am, I will never leave Miss Mirabelle unattended."

Mary's face also looked very tired. Of course it was Mary's fault that she left Mirabelle alone, but Elena knew that it was difficult for the maid to take care of everything herself during the trip. There were several other servants besides Mary, but she was in charge of leadership and communication. But despite Elena's cold-hearted reasoning, Elena couldn't help but look at Mary's drooping shoulders and regretful eyes.

“Mirabelle very weak. I'm asking you to pay attention next time. "

"Yes yes! I'lli'll. I'm really sorry. "

Mary wasn't very fast or intelligent in her last life. However, Elena stayed close because she was pure and kind. No matter how competent someone was in their job, Elena could not maintain the opportunist who would change their position depending on the type of situation.

Elena returns to her room where she promises to meet Kuhn. The room was still as dark as when she left, but Elena felt Kuhn's presence at once.

"… What happened to Mirabelle?"

Elena's words seemed to fall in empty darkness, until Kuhn's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He looked at Elena with a curious look. As usual, Kuhn replied in a flat and relaxed tone.

"He passed out in this room, so I helped him."

"Why did you leave your coat?"

Kuhn's usually distant eyes were somewhat gleaming. She quickly wiped her emotions away before Elena noticed it.

"He won't let go."

"… Mirabelle?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Elena looked at Kuhn with an expression of disbelief. Mirabelle may seem like a little girl, but she never bothers anyone else. She's not the Mirabelle type who takes Kuhn's clothes and doesn't take them off.

'… Is it because he is sick?'

Elena could not figure out Mirabelle's inner thoughts, so Elena only made her best conclusion.

He took stock of Kuhn who stood there in the dark with his shirt and without a jacket. Somehow, he felt like he slightly understood her from this short meeting. Kuhn didn't care enough so she wouldn't help someone.

“I'm sorry for being late to give you my gratitude. Thank you." Thank you."

"…"

"Are you disguised as employees called waiters and doctors? Due to prompt treatment, Mirabelle can get better without complications. ”

“... It just happened. You don't have to say that. "

“No, really, thank you very much. My sister is the most precious person in the world to me. ”

Mirabelle was the only one Elena thought of and would proudly tell whoever it was. When she heard that Mirabelle had collapsed just a moment ago, it was if her heart had fallen to the floor. He had only one goal when he returned to the past. Peace to his family. For her father, her brother, and Mirabelle. He will prevent them from getting sick or injured.

After a moment of silence, Kuhn suddenly spoke first.

"When are you going to see the information about Kraus?"

“I have to take care of my sister so finding time will be difficult. Sorry to keep you waiting. "

"No, I understand. Then I'll see you next time. ”

Kuhn turned around non-beating, as if she was expecting the answer.

It suddenly flashed through Elena's mind when she saw Kuhn heading towards the window.

"If something dangerous happens to my sister like today, please help her."

"… It's the only time."

Leaving her with just that short answer, Kuhn then quickly opened the window and disappeared from Elena's sight.

Kuhn's abilities are known to Elena and she wants him to protect Mirabelle, but unfortunately Mirabelle is not her responsibility. Kuhn had no reason to obey him. Elena felt sad, but at the same time, she knew it made sense. She had to settle for what Kuhn had done for her sister …

Tonight all the relationships were going in a completely different direction than Elena expected. He wondered how it would turn out later.
