76 – Emergency
“Tests suggest it’s just a cold.”
“I see…”
“Oh, Mrs. Mama, you can fasten the buttons.”
I nodded and fastened the front buttons one by one.
Is it because my fingers are dull or because of the headache?
Stella, who had been tilting her head beside her, knelt down next to her as it seemed that time would be delayed more than expected.
Then he put his hand on my shirt and in an instant he fastened all the buttons.
If you think of Stella’s tie at the wedding,
I can’t do anything without Stella.
“Then, when you touched the sword, the symptoms disappeared?”
“From what we’ve learned, it’s confirmed that the broken sword holds a lot of magic power. To put it simply, an object containing high magic power touches the empty body.
You can see that my physical condition has temporarily improved.”
Surely…
Aside from swords, the symptoms of a cold also disappeared when he touched items rich in magical power.
Rather than the sword being special, my characteristic as a warrior is probably special.
“My husband, we will finish repairing the sword.”
“Please. I don’t have anywhere to take it.”
We can’t leave the sword that the hero used anywhere.
Looking at the reaction of my daughters upon seeing the sword,
Because it was certain that there was something, it was decided that it would be better to entrust it to the Church Headquarters, where there are good craftsmen.
“And this is the medicine to take for a week. You can take it three times a day before meals, and you don’t need to take it if you are completely cured.”
“Thank you.”
Because the era is still in the era, it was in a bottle, not a medicine bag.
So what I handed over was a slightly larger paper envelope.
“It’s…Heavy.”
“Carry it carefully. If it breaks, you have to come back to get it.”
“Then…Then let’s go.”
I bowed my head to the high priest who checked my health and went outside.
Since Stella and I’s health is a serious matter, the High Priestess, who is in the position of fisherman, took care of our physical condition.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but I decided to think that it was rather fortunate that I was able to get tested properly.
“Enjoy the rest of your holiday.”
“Ugh…”
I wiped the dripping runny nose with my hand.
I’m glad that I can rest well since I’m back home after a long time…
“Ah…But I have to go to the eastern town.”
“Right… I forgot about that.”
Because I cleared my schedule to put my body first and ran all the way to the church headquarters, I couldn’t even go to the eastern village I was supposed to stop by.
As soon as I realized that it wasn’t a big deal, I have to head to the eastern village for the maids and priests who can be called my family.
“We all have to go together, so even priests can go.”
If Stella doesn’t go, the priests who follow Stella can’t move.
If I don’t go, my attendant priests won’t be able to move.
Inevitably, Stella and I had to hold hands and head to the eastern town.
“Since the West has already decided…”
“Thank you.”
I passed Stella’s hair lightly and stroked it.
Well, it’s not like you’ll collapse and die just by listening for a while, so I hope you don’t worry too much.
It won’t hurt as long as you hold an object full of magic in your hand.
***
I went to the eastern village, laid down on the bed, took a deep breath, and woke up.
The timing was just right, and a knock was heard outside.
“Mother, it’s time for your medicine.”
“Yes, come in.”
I rarely lock the bedroom door, so the maid who was outside came inside.
The tray she held in her hand contained water and medicine.
I think she would have liked orange juice because she personally doesn’t like anything bitter.
Still, I should stop talking and eat.
As she spread her hands politely, the maid placed her medicines on her hands one by one.
Even if you eat, on top of eating at once
I didn’t put it in her mouth until she had put all her medicine down.
“Are you finished?”
“Yes, Mrs. Ma.”
She poured all the medicine from her hand into her mouth, then lifted the cup from the tray and drank it.
I could feel the medicine going slowly up through my throat without getting stuck in my gums or elsewhere and not dissolving.
“Wow…”
“Then excuse me.”
Since Stella is busy, she puts her hand to my forehead to check for a fever instead.
It was a bit cold, but strangely, it didn’t feel as good as Stella’s hand.
I think it’s cold…What was different?
“Then I’ll prepare dinner.”
“What about your sister?”
“Your eminence said that he had business to take care of, so he was eating in the office.
He said he would drop by the bedroom later…”
“I see…You seem very busy.”
“It seems to be a report related to espionage.”
That’s right.
Stella caught a spy and needs an explanation.
I can’t help it if that’s the case.
The maid went out and lay down on the bed again. She
She said she was bringing the meal, so it’ll probably take 30 minutes to come back.
In the meantime, it wouldn’t be bad to spend time lying down or take a nap.
“By the way, what is this?”
I’ve been in trouble since before, but something hard is lying next to the bed.
Should I say something like a sword?
I lifted the blanket from the bed to check what was there.
It was a big bed, so the duvet was quite heavy, so I couldn’t hold it perfectly, so I couldn’t see it well.
“Ummm… Huh?!”
There were things that shouldn’t be here.
I pushed the blanket I was holding onto the floor because nothing was more important than the current situation.
And finally, the shape of the object there was revealed.
The broken sword that I had left at the church headquarters earlier was there.
***
“aaagh!”
I ran out of the bedroom with goosebumps all over my body.
I was so shocked that I even screamed.
Then I took a picture of the butt in the hallway and sat down.
“Bung!”
“Kyung!”
“Quack.”
I screamed and came out, and out of nowhere my daughters appeared.
You must have been in the room next to the main room. When did you come down to the second floor?
By the way, the bedroom I was lying in was on the second floor.
I couldn’t enter the master bedroom on the 4th floor because the maids were tidying up.
The daughters-in-law immediately began to surround me and began to escort me, keeping an eye on the left and right.
Unlike his usual appearance, his hair was standing up and he was making a scary noise.
I was rather relieved.
“What’s up, Mrs. Mama!”
And then, the knights who were guarding the area around my house came up the stairs.
After hearing what I was screaming at, it seemed that it was an emergency and came running.
“The bar…The room…”
“Are you talking about the room?”
The driver entered the bedroom I had just jumped out of.
I heard the sound of a closet or drawer opening for a while, then I came out with a tilt of my head.
He looked like he didn’t know what the situation was.
“Chi… The sword on the bed… The sword!”
“Isn’t this the sword your father-in-law got in Lagoon City?”
“Eh…Right!? I’m not looking at it wrong?!”
If that’s what it is, then you shouldn’t even be here.
“That sword I left at the church headquarters earlier! There’s no way it’s here.”
“I…Really?!”
If I was wrong,
If that sword was purchased for practice or the sword Dave bought, it could be passed as a simple happening, but
The worst would happen if the former hero had a broken sword.
First of all, the church headquarters was robbed again.
It wasn’t that a small pottery was stolen from the master’s office on the top floor, but a sword stored in the basement, which could be seen under the glacier of the church’s headquarters, was stolen.
And an intruder broke into this house, entered my bedroom and put the sword in the bed.
That means you can target me and Stella at any time.
How the hell?!
A battalion of knights are guarding my house.
As for what it feels like, after building a circle around the house, they build guard posts every 20 meters and stand guard there.
It is more like an impregnable fortress where no one can enter without permission.
“Please report this to the captain.”
“Ah…I see!”
A knight who runs out without directive.
After confirming that, I spoke to the maid who was wiping the sweat from my forehead next to me.
“Helena, hurry up and tell your sister. Yongyong-ah, go with Helena.”
“Kyung!”
An intruder may still be in the house.
In a dangerous emergency, sending a woman alone in such a spacious house would be no different than dying.
“Boo… How can I leave my wife and mama alone…”
“I have Perry and Yuri, so don’t worry. It’s safest with the two kids.”
“Ah…Okay. I’ll follow your orders.”
Despite her emergency, Ms. Helena politely greets her and then runs away with a jolt.
I think professionalism is really great.
