260 – Too Obvious Event (4)
Maria asked the bishop who was treating Martin in an urgent voice.
“Bishop, what is the condition of the Baron of Cologne? “I’m sure I won’t die like this, right?”
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her hand had been holding the hem of Martin’s clothes for some time.
The bishop who saw this could sense that Mary had a special interest in this man, but she did not intend to pry into it.
If you delve into her wrong, you will be silenced by the princess in front of her and you never know when your head will be blown off.
‘I will have to report this to His Excellency the Marquis of Schweig later…’
Thinking like that, the bishop responded with the intention of doing his duty as a priest and doctor and wanted to see her reaction.
“If an ordinary person suffered this serious injury, it would not be surprising if they died at any time. I managed to avoid the heart, but the arrow was rusty and I was stabbed quite deeply and lost a lot of blood. Look at your complexion. “Aren’t you pale?”
Maria asked with a trembling voice.
“So you’re saying I could die?”
The bishop shook his head.
“It would not be surprising if an ordinary person suffered such serious injuries and died instantly, but Baron Cologne is a knight who has reached the advanced level of Expert. Unless his heart or head is blown out, he is unlikely to die from his injuries if he is treated well. “For a knight of this level, even if a bone is broken, it will heal in about 1 to 2 weeks if treated properly.”
Compared to the average person’s broken bone, which takes three months to heal even if treated with care, the speed of recovery is several times faster.
Mary’s eyes lit up with joy when she heard those words.
The bishop was speechless for a moment because it was clearly the image of a girl in love.
Maria urged, showing her displeasure at the bishop’s attitude.
“So does that mean I can live? Is not it? “Please make her words clear.”
“I’m sorry. Since I am here as a doctor, this has become a long story. Then, let me quickly tell you the conclusion.”
The priests of this world also used sacred laws to heal people, so no one found this word awkward.
“If it were an ordinary person, it would not be surprising if they died at any time, but a high-level knight like Baron Cologne would be able to recover from injuries of this level just by stopping the bleeding. “Now that you are receiving proper treatment, you will wake up within 2-3 days and there is no need to worry too much.”
“That’s a good thing. I was so worried that I would almost die like this…”
After Maria finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she affectionately touched Martin’s hand.
If Lucia or Karin saw it, it was a move filled with such deep goodwill that it wouldn’t be strange for her to rush in and say, ‘Hey, that thief cat.’
But fortunately, Lucia, Hilde, and Karin were not here.
The bishop pretended not to see it and stopped the princess.
“So now, go inside and rest. “It’s late at night.”
When Maria heard those words, she shook her head.
She
And she threw away the scared and crying look from just a moment ago and she declared with great majesty.
“I, Maria von Rhein-Palatinate, was almost assassinated in the banquet hall, but she survived because she gave her life to save her daughter, whom the Baron of Cologne had seen. I think it would be against the law for me not to take care of such a Baron. So, I will be grateful for your concern for me, Bishop Unter.”
When the bishop heard those words, he sighed.
No matter who looked at her, she could only be seen as a girl who had great favor for Baron Cologne…
But because he had neither the power nor the justification to stop Maria’s unreasonable actions.
“Hasn’t the princess gone through something big? If she does not rest now, she will be exhausted and her body will be damaged. Besides, we have to start interrogating the assassins tomorrow.”
“That interrogation can be left to the Marquis of Schweig. Go away now. “No matter how much you are a bishop, any further comments will be viewed as an attempt to get involved in politics.”
Bishop Unter had no choice but to bow his head and walk away.
“Baron Cologne’s body will generate a lot of heat. Even so, you should not carelessly wipe his body with a wet towel. “If the bandages on your upper and lower body come loose or get wet, bleeding may occur again.”
After giving the final warning, the bishop immediately left to find the Marquis of Schweig.
And Maria decided to stay up all night to nurse Martin.
“You always show a serious expression in front of me, but your sleeping face has this innocent expression. “Women who can see this expression every day will be happy, right?”
I wanted to at least touch her cheek with her fingers…
She had never even held hands except when she was dancing at church with a man, so she couldn’t even touch Martin’s cheek.
She just moves her gaze towards her fingers and Martin’s cheek…
“What on earth am I doing…?”
Even as she said that, Maria’s eyes did not leave Martin’s face, who was sleeping with a relaxed expression thanks to her treatment.
After a few hours, the princess could see that Martin’s situation had calmed down, and after she was relieved, she sat down and fell asleep.
A peaceful smile appeared on Maria’s face.
It was a peaceful appearance that I had never seen before due to the uncertainty in the years following the emperor’s death.

“Ugh, ten…”
When I opened my eyes and woke up, I could tell from the emblem that I saw right away that it was the camp of the Marquis Schweig, so I started thinking that I would not be killed.
However, the area where the damn assassin hit with an arrow just before losing consciousness…
“My heart hurts so much… I feel like I’m going to die… f*ck.”
It was so painful that I couldn’t help but curse.
Even when I got cut by her knife, it didn’t hurt this much…
“Ha, I wish I had lived. “If I live, everything will be fine, right?”
Assassins are scary not because they are large in number or because they are extremely powerful.
It’s just scary that they suddenly appear in places I didn’t expect and stab me in the back.
‘If they escape that one room, they are trash and the only thing they can do is run away.’
As I calmed down a little, I saw a red-haired girl sitting in front of me, sleeping soundly.
No, who is that? The red-haired girl in front of me was definitely Princess Maria.
You saved me from almost being assassinated, but you couldn’t believe you stayed up all night taking care of me…
Now that I think about it, there is a wet towel on my head?
As I was looking around in confusion, Maria woke up at the sight of me and asked with a worried look on her face.
“Is Baron Cologne awake? “How is your physical condition?”
Except for my chest and thighs where the arrow hit, there was no pain anywhere.
“There is no pain anywhere except my chest and thighs. Even now, I think I can carry out my daily routine without any problems as long as I don’t overdo it.”
Perhaps because I received good treatment, there is no pain except for the two places I just mentioned.
‘If the wound is deep, fever rises all over the body due to an inflammatory reaction, but there is no sign of it.’
“Thank goodness. If Sir had died instead of me… I would have been very sad. “Thank you for living so safely.”
“Thank you. Anyway, I am glad that Your Majesty is safe. “If His Majesty had passed away or been seriously injured… this faction would have simply collapsed.”
If the royal family, who is the central point of this chaotic political situation, dies, that faction will instantly fall apart.
After saying that, the princess held my hand tightly and said.
“Kyung, even though her body is like this, she only cares about me. Okay, let me ask you again. Is there anything he wants from me? “I will listen to anything I can.”

If I were to ask the current princess, she would immediately give me at least one of her territories.
Even after giving it up like that, Maria will show her unwavering trust in me.
However, if you think a little later, there is no need to receive compensation now.
‘It would be good to use this opportunity to erase all doubts about me within the faction.’
“Isn’t Your Highness safe? “That is enough.”
Maria tilted her head when she heard those words.
“Is there really nothing you want? Other nobles would use this opportunity to ask for a better position or territory. “You have the right to receive something like that.”
It sounded a bit flirtatious, but I really had to say this.
“I am offering my loyalty for the happiness of His Majesty who gave me, not for wider territory or power. “Your Majesty is safe, so that is enough.”
At those words, Maria’s big eyes filled with tears.
And at that time, a messenger from the Marquis of Schweig hurried into the barracks where I was.
“The assassins leaked information. The person who dispatched them is the Third Prince! “The Third Prince cowardly attempted to assassinate Her Royal Highness!”
