109 – Genre
In the end, I was the one who was defeated by Shael. I had no choice but to make a promise not to touch anything related to gambling from now on.
‘It’s a pity that I missed out on making a fortune.’
Since Sael hates it so much, I can’t help it. He was worried about the Baslet family’s finances, but fortunately, he said that the Azbel family would provide little by little.
‘Then, all that’s left is to tell the Barslett family about this directly.’
I came out of the Azbel family with Sael and I, still full of joy and happiness. Our next destination was Baslet Street.
* * *
The Baslet family had a completely different atmosphere from the Azbel family.
Unlike the Azbel family, who were talking loudly about the news of her marriage, the Baslet family was silent.
From the beginning, the Baslett family, who only wielded swords, was like that, but today it was particularly severe.
As soon as I met the butler, I knew why.
“Do, boy! You are finally here!”
“Why is the atmosphere like this?”
“The lord is ill. He coughed up blood a little while ago while watching the swordsmanship of one of the knights.”
I’ve seen Duke Ezran coughing up blood before.
I thought it was the devil’s temporary restriction to prevent the leakage of secrets… But wasn’t it temporary?
Then it was necessary to do something about it. As I was lost in my thoughts, I heard the butler’s words.
“I couldn’t deliver it quickly because the family lord told me not to do so.”
“From now on, just tell me right away.”
After talking with the butler, I headed to the room where Duke Ezran was.
“It will be fine. There are many excellent medicinal herbs in the Azbel family.”
Sael’s comfort was a bonus. She looks at me, just in case I’m down, and wants to be of her help, telling me about Azbel’s medical skills that I don’t even know much about.
My heart, which was anxious just by Sael’s actions, was cured.
It wasn’t long before I saw Duke Ezran’s room. I knocked on the door with tension in my body.
Smart smart smart.
Duke Ezran gave permission to come into the room.

Kikiiik.
I opened the door. At the same time, I saw Duke Ezran. His condition was worse than I thought.
The forehead dripping with cold sweat, the arms shaking as if it were cold, the eyes half-closed from exhaustion.
There was no emotion in his expression, but his body was expressing a tired body condition.
“Gwa, are you okay?”
“I’m just tired from practicing swordsmanship.”
Not at all. It was because it was too severe to be a damaged body due to intense training.
There was a reason why the butler had a lost face.
“If you don’t have anything more to say, then get out.”
As soon as I heard Duke Ezran’s words, I began to worry.
‘Is it correct to ask questions here?’
I could have made the situation worse by asking something rashly.
Because Duke Ezran vomited blood while trying to reveal something to me about memories of the past.
So, I decided to tell you the news about Shael and me. I had sent the letter in advance, but I couldn’t have checked it while sick.
I said while holding the hand of Shael, who was standing still next to me.
“I decided to marry Sael.”
It was Duke Ezran who was looking at us, erasing the fatigue in his eyes.
“You are very late. Congratulations nonetheless Hurry up and inform the Baslet family of this news.”
Nodding his head, Duke Ezran closed his eyes exhausted from fatigue. Another story seemed right to tell when he woke up.

Kikiiik.
It was then that someone opened Duke Ezran’s visit. The name of the Baslett family was entering the room.
‘You came in without knocking?’
There was no way that would happen unless it was very urgent. However, the huge variety of medicines in his arms showed the seriousness of the situation.
“Do, boy?”
“Is the father’s condition serious? I want you to tell me the situation too.”
“That’s actually…”
Duke Ezran’s breathing was regular. He was already asleep.
The doctor who confirmed this lowered his voice.
“You are suffering from an unknown and incurable disease. Even the condition is so critical…”
If it was a disease he did not know about, then it could be regarded as a disease that no one in the empire would know about.
The doctor and Sael must have known that, and their expressions became gloomy.
It was the same with the sudden voice of Duke Ezran.
“What can I do? Eran will have to take care of it anyway. It doesn’t matter at all.”
“Go, the head of the household….”
The doctor approached him with medicine as if to try to save him somehow. However, Duke Ezran shook his head as if it was unnecessary.
Then they kicked everyone out of the room except for me.
“First of all, congratulations on your marriage to Shael. It’s just a pity that I don’t have much time left.”
Duke Ezran kept his expression calm even as he spoke gloomy words. I was like that too.
Because I had the means to cure Duke Ezran.
However, sad emotions pounded on his heart, so he had no choice but to change his expression. The reason for this was Duke Ezran’s expression, which seemed unconcerned even in this situation.
“Cure the disease…”
“No, further attempts are pointless. He went from place to place when he was away in Baslett, but he couldn’t fix it.”
Duke Ezran, who cut off my words, thought of something and fell into agony.
‘There really is a means to cure the disease.’
⋯Looking at it now, Duke Ezran also had an erratic side. Before I could say anything, he spoke first.
“Recently, a report came in that the owner of the mage tower and the crown prince had gone into hiding.”
As I knew the reason, I had no choice but to remain silent.

Knowing why isn’t everything. Because I was the one who created the reason.
“Past⋯⋯. No, they had disappeared before.”
It was simple as to when the transfer that Duke Ezran had mentioned meant.
I died from poison and Sael and Duke Ezran suffered a lot, things in the past that are now gone.
“You’ll never know why, so you’d better be careful.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Ezran coughed several times bloody.
As expected. Duke Ezran’s illness was getting worse every time he recalled his past memories.
Before I thought about the owner of the mage tower and the crown prince, I first looked into my clothes and took out my magic bag.
What I found in the magic bag was an earring. The earrings Shael bought for me.
In addition, an earring that heals all the ailments that Clie had to wear.
In other words, these earrings were the only thing that could completely cure Duke Ezran’s illness.
I personally approached Duke Ezran and gave him an earring. The disease that had eaten away Duke Ezran should have disappeared.
It was only then that I was able to ponder what Duke Ezran had said.
‘The owner of the tower and the crown prince went into hiding in the past?’
I thought about it.
The reason they disappeared in the present, not in the past, is because I gave them a love potion.
‘Then in the past?’
A creepy assumption came to mind.
Could it be that he disappeared in the past for similar reasons?
I shook my head, thinking that I must have gone mad, but the rationale for that assumption kept popping up in my head.
Clié could have lived a happy life if she chose between the tower lord and the crown prince, but Clie returned using the bracelet of holy power.
After returning, Clie hated the owner of the mage tower and the crown prince madly.
Episodes in the original novel that showed a little strange feeling from the tower owner and the crown prince.
At first, I didn’t think it was a big deal, thinking that it was an episode that sniped a certain genre of readers.
Actually, there were readers who hated it in the original novel, but there were also readers who responded positively through comments.
I still believed. I would never change genres. I remembered the comments I saw in episode 1.
ㅡIt can be confirmed that this work has a high rate of overdose, unlike the Roman version. There are a lot of kids who stay in the comments and distort it into other genres, but it’s just pathetic.
Come to think of it, as the comment said, there were a lot of comments criticizing the original novel for saying it was a different genre.
ㅡThey said that the guys who didn’t read the novel properly were Biel hahahahaha Just in the finale, the male protagonists are mutually helping each other, so it’s absolutely not a misunderstanding.
Those bad-tempered male protagonists mutually mutually agree?
⋯⋯Something is strange.
ㅡStory that hasn’t progressed, let’s not spoil it! It’s a nuisance to readers who haven’t seen it yet. It’s a perfect novel even to the end, and it’s a very good novel with gag elements, so you can run with confidence!
Although something is strange, I definitely saw these comments in episode 1. These were comments that I still vividly remember.
‘But why does the back of my head tingle?’
I even thought that it was rather fortunate that I was possessed without being able to read the finale.
I felt a bit pitiful for Clie. However, he did not regret taking Clie’s life.
There were so many things Clie did. It wasn’t all that bothered me and Sael.
Like Seniela of Count Tedel, who almost lost her sister due to Clee, or a medium-sized merchant who almost lost her entire fortune.
Besides her, it was Clie who did her harm to her numerous noble families and commoners for her own benefit.
So it was only a pity that taking Clie’s life didn’t add to her pain, it was nothing to regret.
‘Still, I feel a bit pitiful.’
I pressed her throbbing head and erased her thoughts. Looking ahead, I saw Duke Ezran, who had shaken off his visibly fatigued body.
It meant that the earrings had successfully cured his illness.
Now, it was my turn to ask in more detail about the memories of the past that I hadn’t heard about.
