Suddenly, my brother’s door opened and he came out, rubbing his eyes as if he was still half asleep. My brother looked down at me as if he was surprised, and Lara held her breath for no reason. Was my brother looking for me… …

“What? Didn’t you go to the military?”

It was the moment when I understood his shocked reaction from earlier. When my brother asked me again why I was here and if I was on a vacation, Lara slowly lowered her head.

“Hey, you didn’t quit, did you… … ?”

“… … .”

“Get out of the way so I can drink some water. No. You go get some.”

My brother’s punk was talking nonsense as if he was doing me a favour. “I’ll give you 3 seconds. Get some water.”

“… You got caught today… … .”

“… … ?” “… Die! Die!!”

“Did you quit and lose your mind!”

Lara ran towards her brother like a crazy person. Lawrence barely managed to block Lara’s two arms that stretched out to strangle him with one arm, but he was pushed further and further towards the stairs. They say that when a person goes mad, their strength increases five times more than usual, and it is true.

“Oh my… Don’t do this!!”

The moment Lawrence furrowed his brow and shouted, Lara shouted “Die!!” and jumped. The moment she hit his torso with all her might, his sturdy body staggered and fell backward.

Clang. Lara lay flat on top of her brother’s body, who was sliding down the stairs as fast as a sled, and went down together. When they reached the last step, their bodies separated. Lara was thrown to the left, and Lawrence to the right, and they were spread out like pieces of rags.

The commotion caused the countess, who was sleeping in the bedroom on the first floor, to jump out along with the count. The two ran towards the sound and found two children lying down the stairs.

“oh my!”

When the countess was startled and clutched her weak heart, the count hurriedly went to his children and felt their pulses. Fortunately, both of them were alive.

* * *

“Haa… … .”

The feeling of looking up at the ceiling with a full body cast is so miserable that it is indescribable. Lara couldn’t even raise her head because of the neck cast. It had been three days since she had fallen down the stairs with her brother and was diagnosed with a two-week recovery period.

She couldn’t control her bowel movements by herself, so she had to wear a diaper and receive help from the maids, and the maids had to feed her food. It was the first time she realised that lying down was this hard.

One happy thing was that her spaghetti brother had a four-week recovery period. While Lara was dazed by herself, the door opened and her mother came in.

“Lara, a guest has arrived.”

“Oh… … . Please don’t let them in. I don’t want anyone to see me like this.”

There were a few ladies she had met at the ball and become friends with, but they weren’t close enough to reveal her shameful side. Lara had no intention of showing this shameful side to anyone but her family.

“The Princesses Liniot and Duke Esteban came to see you in person. Be polite.”

‘No, how can I be polite like this? I can’t even change my diaper by myself… … .’

Lara burst into tears at the thought of her situation, which was so frustrating that she couldn’t even beat her chest. When her mother left the room, the four people appeared as if they had been waiting for her.

“How are you?”

“I heard the news and came with you. Are you feeling okay?”

Elina3 and Diches, who had been in the Knights’ uniform, came, as if they had taken the time to come. After that, Elina2 with a cheerful face and Elina1 with a shy smile of 100% innocence appeared.

“Are you okay? What happened? If I had known this would happen, I would have attached Silph to you. Oh, Silph. It’s a joke, so don’t glare at me like that?” “I’m sorry, for suddenly coming… … . How are you?”

It was already noisy. I wanted to kick them all out, but on the other hand, I was grateful that they came to visit me on purpose for my sake.

“I heard that Sir Lawrence is resting in the room next door. I’ll visit in turn.”

Lara quietly glared at Diches’s back. She should leave her arrogant boss behind and hang out with the ladies. She should also kick out Elina2, who was standing by the door and chatting happily with the invisible spirit king, and Elina3, who was sitting on the sofa and sharpening her sword.

At that moment, Elina1 spoke to Lara in a friendly manner. “Have you had lunch?”

“No, not yet.”

“Oh, that’s good. Then can I make it?”

Elina1 smiled brightly and clapped her hands. Lara didn’t understand why she, a princess, would make it herself when there was a cook.

<It’s a cliché for a pure and kind-hearted female protagonist to nurse the sick. Normally, she should nurse the injured male protagonist, but… Hmm, since Diches is here, wouldn’t you like to dream of a perfect crime with me?>

‘Are you really a god?’

A god who personally guides lost lambs to the path of arrest on charges of assault, so it was fortunate that she wasn’t a devout believer.

“This is my first time making porridge, but wait a minute? I’ll make it soon.”

Elina1 said lovingly with a small smile. At this, the lively Elina2 followed Elina1.

“I want to go too! I’ll bring you the most delicious porridge in the world, so look forward to it!” Elina2 shouted confidently and forcibly lifted Elina3, who was quietly working on her sword, and dragged her out. Only then did the room become quiet, and Lara felt comfortable.

She closed her eyes and took a restful rest. Then, as if she had blinked, she suddenly felt that time had suddenly been pulled forward. The surroundings were noisy.

“Lara! Get up and eat this.”

Elina2 confidently spoke, holding a steaming bowl on a tray. For Lara, who couldn’t get up, she placed three pillows on her back, creating an awkward angle that was neither lying down nor sitting. Elina2 held the spoon herself for Lara, who couldn’t bend her neck. Elina2 smiled vaguely and stirred the porridge.

“I tried making it… It was harder than I thought? Of course, you wouldn’t die from eating it!”

The face that boasted only made her more suspicious. Lara stiffly stared straight ahead, then rolled her eyes and looked down at the spoon that had come up to her mouth.

The visuals looked like horse dung that had been scooped up somewhere. How much had it been burned for it to turn a deep brown colour? Elina3, who noticed Lara’s subtle change in expression, quickly intervened and snatched Elina2’s spoon.

“This is probably inedible.” “What’s wrong with this?!”

“Then you eat it. I can’t stand seeing my friend get sick from eating this kind of food.”

Elina3… … . Lara felt that her bluntness was lovable all over again. Elina3 said that she would feed her from now on and lifted the porridge she had made up to her chest height. Lara rolled her eyes, checked the porridge, and furrowed her brows in embarrassment. “… Elina3, what’s that?”

“Porridge full of nutrients.”

She could understand the glossy meat. Why were the horseshoes floating?

“It’s good for recovering energy. Don’t leave anything behind, eat it all. I worked hard to get it.”

Did you catch my words…? Lara didn’t say anything even though the words were on her lips. She just realised that this is why the female protagonist with the sword is scary.

“Elina3, I think meat porridge would be too much for someone with poor digestion, huh?” Elina1, who spoke cautiously, held out the porridge she had made. Lara

reacted fiercely, saying, “That! That!” It was normal porridge. She would rather eat something that looked good even if it didn’t taste good.

Elina1 widened her eyes as if she was a little surprised, then smiled bashfully. She then blew on it carefully, telling Lara to eat it carefully because it was hot, and brought it to her mouth. The taste was better than she had expected. It was light and rich, so delicious that it was special. It was the only clean area she had found in a non-cliche polluted area. Lara finished off the bowl cleanly.

“It was really delicious.” “Oh— really? I’m glad you said it was delicious.”

Purely delighted, Elina1 covered her lips in a huff. She had spoken too casually.

“You know, Miss Lara. Now let’s talk to each other… okay?” “Okay.”

“Thank you. Actually, I’ve wanted to get to know you for a while.”

It was a really innocent conversation between girls. As if this was the typical conversation between the female protagonist and her friend, they were talking affectionately when Diches came into the room. At that moment, of all times, she felt a strange sensation of gas rushing down. Recently, she had been lying down and had not been digesting well, and she thought that if she missed this opportunity, it would be very bad for her health.

“… Hey Elina3, I think I’m going to fart. Sorry, but… … .”

Lara spoke quietly so that only Elina3 could hear, and she nodded and quietly told Elina2 and Elina1. Elina2 smiled as if she understood, and out of nowhere, she started singing “La la la la~”. At this moment, Elina1 walked over to Diches and carefully asked for his understanding.

“Excuse me… Miss Schmold needs to fart. Could you please leave for a moment?” Lara’s face turned red in embarrassment. To a lady, farting was like a death sentence.

“When did I! When did I say such a mean thing! Hoho!” “Oh, I’m sorry, Lara. I guess I didn’t notice… … .”

At the sight of Elina1 fidgeting, Lara’s rising anger curve slightly subsided, but her face still looked pale. At that moment, the empty porridge bowl that was precariously placed on Lara’s blanket rolled down. With a thud, the porridge bowl shattered into pieces.

“… Ah, I’ll clean it up.”

At that moment, Elina1 was startled and tried to pick up the broken pieces of the bowl. A large hand reached out and grabbed her delicate wrist to stop her.

Elina1 raised her head. The man’s hand that she had touched for the first time in her life was hot. Unlike his body temperature that seemed to be burning, his expression was infinitely cold, and Elina1’s heart fluttered for a moment.

“Please step back.” “Yes… … ?”

After sending Elina1 behind him, Diches looked down at Lara, who was stiffly wearing a full-body cast on the bed. His eyes were unusually cold and fierce. A fierce aura was swirling around her, as if it were tearing apart the extra who had been jealous of the female protagonist and had been acting up.
