Today, Grassis went to Subaru's room on her own to wake him up. Regularly, she'd have her sister accompany her but she wanted to be Subaru's little helper today. After that little coff interaction, she wanted to get to know Subaru more.

"Good morning Subaru-sama." Grassis bowed her head to Subaru.

However, Subaru was staying perfectly still. Not even budging an inch.

"Subaru-sama?" Grassis walked over to Subaru's bed and began to shake him. "You need to wake up, Master Reinhard and Lady Felt are-"

Grassis's eyes widened. Subaru felt cold and he was completely motionless.

In a panic, she yanked the covers off of Subaru. His body looked perfectly normal. She placed the back of her hand over his neck to check for a pulse and discovered Subaru had none.

Subaru was dead.

"How...?" Grassis began to tear up. She quickly used her divine protection to telepathically contact her sister.

'Sister! Our guest... He's... He's...!'

Even through her own thoughts, Grassis couldn't finish that sentence. There was silence for a moment before she connected back to her sister.

'Master Reinhard and I are on our way.'

"Master Reinhard...?" Grassis barely peeped. Reinhard was doing the best he could to find a way to help Subaru and understandably, the poor little girl was distressed.

Reinhard looked very distressed himself. He couldn't believe his friend died in their sleep, in his own home no less. "I don't understand... There aren't any wounds, it's as if his body gave up on him in his sleep..."

Felix informed him that the internal bleeding was patched up, he also couldn't think of a possible motive why anyone would be capable of sneaking into their home and doing such a thing. The only logical conclusion would be if Subaru was cursed at some point.

Everything was so peaceful and he doesn't recall crossing any shady individuals.

"My friend... I should've paid more attention!" Reinhard cursed himself. If only he watched Subaru more closely, he'd still be alive. If only he was stronger. "Please... Forgive me."

"Hey, what's taking you guys so long?" A familiar crimson eyed girl came into the room. "Really? Is big bro refusing to wake up again?"

Reinhard swiftly took Felt's hand. The knight had a dead serious look on his face. "Felt... I'm so sorry..."

Felt tilted her head. "Can't you make just a little more sense? I feel like you guys are keeping something important from me."

"Miss Felt, I'm afraid that Subaru..."
