And the next afternoon.
Guests came to Marquisate Saeron.
The true identity of those guests were my precious friends.
They came to visit.
“Emir! We are here!”
“Is your injured leg okay?”
“Lady Emir, I brought you a present!”
Seeing how they got off the carriage, it seemed like they were riding the carriage together as soon as kindergarten was over.
“They are close friends of the Miss who came last time!”
Employees, including the maid and butler, welcomed the children.
Fortunately, this time the mansion was not disturbed because of the royal family’s visit.
Probably because they had experienced it before.
Anyway, the children who came to my room after being guided by the butler were terribly surprised to see me lying in bed.
“I, I heard that you were treated with healing magic, but why are you lying down, Emir? Are you still in a lot of pain? Shall I call my father and ask him to heal you?”
In particular, Jake seemed to be the most surprised.
I waved my hand at Jake’s words.
Because it was impossible to waste the time of someone like Duke Theion.
Of course, if it was Jake’s request, it would seem that he would really come and heal me.
“No, it’s okay. Jake, thank you for your words. Actually, I was almost healed by magic, but I’m lying here because I can break it again if I move too hard.”
Actually, it’s because my mom and dad are the ones who make a fuss when it comes to things related to me.
I smiled bitterly and dimly.
Then the children sent me a very compassionate look, knowing what my expression meant.
“So Emir, you mean you’re still very sick?”
Cedric, who doesn’t usually sympathize with me, asked in a pitiful voice.
‘Why are you doing this, I’m healthy!’
However, my normal face seemed to be invisible to anyone.
Everyone was treating me like a weak child.
“When do you plan to go to kindergarten? Without you… Kindergarten is so quiet and boring.”
Then Nicholas opened his mouth.
However, as if the words that had come out were without his realization, he added with a blush on his face only later.
“The words were just my heart. Don’t mind it.”
I heard your heart, how can I not mind it, Your Highness?
Meanwhile, Ninaina motioned to the imperial escort knight who stood guard near the door to bring something.
“Here, take this.”
“What is this, Princess?”
It was a nice, large, solid wooden box.
It was heavy with what was inside.
Ninaina answered my question with pride.
“It’s herbal juice brought in from a distant country. It made bones strong as steel.”
“Bones… like steel?”
I blankly repeated what Ninaina had said to me.
What did you give me as a gift, Ninaina?
“Yes. Because the bones are weak, they break easily. You have to eat a lot and be strong, Emir.”
“……Yes, understand. I will eat a lot and be healthy. Thank you for the gift, Your Highness.”
I said thank you.
‘Will my bone really turn into steel after eating this?’
I fell into an absurd imagination for a moment, and then, suddenly, Jake walked up to me.
“Jake?”
“I have something to show you, Mir.”
It was a very sad expression.
“Yes? What are you going to show me?”
“Since you got hurt, I’ve been learning healing magic from my father. Look, it’s still weak, but I have strength.”
“Healing magic? already?”
I rolled my eyes.
Hey, it’s only been a day since I got hurt?
‘Did he learn it all night long?’
Come to think of it, Jake’s under eyes seemed to have darkened slightly.
‘No way, Jake! You’re still six years old, you shouldn’t get dark circles.’
I was startled and concerned about Jake’s health.
“Jake, at our age you have to go to bed early.”
Then Jake shrugged his shoulders as if he was talking about something.
“I slept early. Yesterday I went to bed at 9.”
“Huh? You learned healing magic, so……”
“It’s okay because I learned it instead of playing time.”
“……!”
Come to think of it, I forgot about it these days.
Jake was a magical genius.
“……That’s right. If so, I am relieved.”
Somehow, my voice crawled into depression.
Maybe Jake didn’t notice my face, and he continued his speech with a slightly excited voice.
“It is not yet a great healing power. But I’m sure I’ll quickly become a great healer.”
“I think it would be nice if that was the case.”
I replied with a hint, but the reply was an embarrassing oath.
“Yes. Because I have to always protect Mir by your side.”
“……!”
It was Jake who spoke as if he would be my escort or guardian angel.
I was also a little burdened that the only reason he learned difficult and complex magic was me.
‘But, of course, I am most grateful.’
I laughed bashfully.
Then, Alice came to me.
A small fist clenched in one hand.
“Lady Emir.”
“……!”
“I can’t even use healing magic, and I can’t give you medicines, but I have something to offer you.”
