Capitulo 56

Episode 56

My name is Lily, Duke Pioneer’s maid. Her Majesty the Grand Duchess.

What are you doing here?

Despite Wilhelm’s prickly reaction, the maid named Lily showed some composure with a slight smile.

Then, in a voice that was neither too high nor too low, she brought up the matter.

The princess suffered a back injury. The Pioneer family sent me here to see the doctor who was brought by His Majesty.

«Ha, how can the grand duke’s family take care of the princess’s safety?»

Despite Raymond’s strong reaction, Lily did not respond.

Tatiana said nothing.

Even if Wilhelm and Raymond didn’t know, the others would surely say something about not sending a doctor to Karina….

But Allison was involved in the end.

The fact that she was sent to Karina that way was uncomfortable in itself.

I came to you in such a hurry because it might leave the princess with a scar on her back, so please consider it.

Tatiana opened her mouth and shook her hands.

Ha, that’s fine. I’ll let her go.

There was no way I couldn’t let her go.

Tatiana had no choice but to let Allison go, comforting herself with the thought that everything would be okay.

* * *

After listening to my mother and father being upset, I was completely exhausted.

Miss, there is a doctor from the Prince of Gloucester.

I was lying quietly in bed and my eyes widened when I heard Allison had arrived.

Tell her to come in.

There was the sound of the tent door opening and Allison entered with Lily.

From a distance, the impression was a little different.

«Isn’t this more exhausting than boring?»

The reluctance to work reluctantly was evident in her expression and attitude.

It’s an honor to meet you, Princess Pioneer. My name is Allison Cameron, the Prince of Gloucester’s physician.

Thank you for coming all this way. Please treat me well.

Allison nodded at my words.

She opened the visitor’s bag and took out disinfectant, clean cotton, gauze and a bandage.

You can take off your shirt and lie down.

With Lily’s help, I took off my shirt and lay on my stomach, carefully examining the wound.

I’m glad it’s not that bad. It will sting a little.

She then moistened a cotton ball with disinfectant to disinfect the wounded area.

There was a slight tingling sensation, but it wasn’t unbearable.

I am disinfecting it well. This time, I will apply the medicine.

He used a spatula to scoop the ointment out of a small glass bottle and smeared it on my back.

The affected area was not large, it did not appear to be a serious wound.

Allison stepped back only after gauze and bandages.

Avoid contact with water for a while, and change the gauze once a day . Here is an ointment that helps not to scar, so apply it together.

After she finished talking, she immediately packed her things. I went back to get dressed with Lily’s help, grabbed Allison.

In gratitude for treating me like this, how about having a cup of tea for a while?

No. Her Majesty the Grand Duchess is waiting….

Maybe Tatiana was nervous, then it seemed she asked Allison not to talk to me for a long time.

I put that name to my lips just in case.

Actually, Robert recommended you. I’ve wanted to meet you at least once ever since.

I shut my mouth when I saw her reaction.

A shocked expression, trembling hands and tear-filled eyes.

It all said Allison would want to hear the story.

S-sorry. I had a different idea.

Allison quickly caught her expression.

But she was still shaking my hand. I noticed she was agitated and continued.

If you have any questions, please call me later. If you feel uncomfortable, you can contact Professor Foreman.

Have you also met Eric?

Of course. I wanted to meet all three of you if possible. I came here because I wanted to meet you without any other desire about the Grand Duchess.

Three people…

Allison was silent for a moment.

She seemed to be reflecting on the fact that among the three was Robert, with whom she had lost touch.

Taking a long sigh, she immediately began packing.

Be careful not to get water on the wounded area for a few days, and if you apply the ointment well, there will be no scarring.

Then he ran out of the store. I wanted to talk some more, but was it too heavy?

It may be that or there may be other reasons.

I was particularly annoyed that he was worried about Robert.

Miss, I’m going inside.

Lily returned to the store with a strange expression on her face.

What happened to her, Dr. Allison?

Nothing, she was just telling a simple story.

Well? But why do you have that look on your face?

Lily shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t understand what I was saying. With her help, I put on a new shirt and pulled a jacket over it.

Although the competition ended hastily due to a sudden attack by wolves, they said there were no serious injuries, so the awards ceremony would be held as scheduled.

«After the awards ceremony, there will be a riot for giving the dam.»

I wanted to give it to both my father and Aster, but unfortunately I only caught one Beast.

If I had known it would be like this, Helen would have been more focused and caught without paying attention.

Now that I look back, I don’t think it was so bad.

We headed to the vacant lot where the podium was set up.

My mother was not present. Perhaps because of the movement of the magical beast, she went out to investigate.

As I looked around, the eyes of the nobles who had already gathered turned to me.

The situation itself was not very pleasant . It was even more overwhelming because my mother wasn’t there .

Princess.

When I turned around to hear someone’s voice calling out to me, Helen was standing there.

With a forceful expression on her face, she approached me.

How is your body?

I paused for a moment because I didn’t know she would speak to me. I tried not to look uncomfortable.

Oh, it’s fine. The Prince of Gloucester sent a doctor.

Good.

I thought it was a formal greeting, but Helen stood next to me and said a few more words. Her friendly attitude was more relaxed than expected.

Soon Aster stepped up to the podium.

For a brief moment, her gaze fell on me and then wandered.

There was an unfortunate incident, but thankfully the women’s tournament ended without casualties. Tomorrow we will take better care of our surroundings so that this doesn’t happen.

Aster sent the guards to look around the Golden Forest to dispel the nobles’ discontent.

Unfortunately, no trace of the wolf could be found, but for now, more guards were posted.

«Why don’t you cancel?»

It was a hunting competition held after Aster ascended to the throne. It had been neglected for several years, so I had no idea what had changed in the forest.

Was there any other reason to hold a hunting contest?

Helen leaned over and whispered, as if the thought had flashed across my face.

There are many people who are not satisfied with just winning a hunting contest. The knights who win the competition on the last day will be placed in a good position in the evaluation match at the end of the year.

All knights in the Empire were eligible to participate in the evaluation battle held at the end of the year.

What they have accumulated during the year and the score before the evaluation.

That alone was an honor, but if you were chosen as the best knight, you could get what you wanted.

So many knights without titles took up the challenge.

It’s a competition that many people have been looking forward to, so it can’t be interrupted.

So let’s start the presentation now.

At Aster’s statement, I came to my senses and raised my head.

Third place goes to Tatiana Gloucester, wife of the Prince of Gloucester.

Tatiana, who took the podium, showed a look of embarrassment. It was as if she couldn’t believe her rank.

In fact, it must be quite shocking to me that there has never been a time when I didn’t get first place in a competition like this.

Second place is Helen Henry, daughter of the Marquess of Henry.

Helen took the stage with a stunned expression on her face. Naturally, the people who thought she was going to win roared.

Of course I was one of them.

If Helen isn’t number one, who the hell is number one?

Everyone’s eyes turned to Aster before the announcement.

First place goes to Karina Pioneer Daughter of Duke Pioneer.

Oh?

I was speechless for a moment.

Everyone started mumbling as if they were shocked by this ridiculous situation.

I couldn’t easily step up to the podium either.

It was a fact that everyone knew I had only caught one beast.

Let’s go upstairs.

Helen came down from the podium and patted me on the shoulder.
