"I never heard about that."
It was the duke's job to research witches, and he knew more about the witch than any other person. The doctor replied when the duke said he didn't know about the information.
"It was discovered that when the duke went to invade the kingdom."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm almost certain. I've got a new piece of information recently."
"Then why is my heart pounding so hard?"
The doctor smiled vaguely and replied.
"You'll find out over time."
"Is it serious?"
"It's not like that."
"Perhaps it's arrhythmia*."
*TL/N: Arrhythmia is a situation when the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm.
"It's not arrhythmia. I assure you."
"Aren't the symptoms similar?"
"Not at all."
It would be hard to talk about it while the duke is not in his right mind. So the doctor thought it would be better to realize it on his own over time, but there is only one thing that bothers him.
"By the way, does she look like a witch?"
"She said she was an apprentice witch."
They talked without hesitation since the doctor knew about his condition and kept it secret.
"Do witches have apprenticeships?"
"I guess they have. She said that."
"I see. That's also new information. Can I see her later?"
"Yes, do as you please."
"Thank you."
He bowed his head and grabbed his paper.

Sobs-
Luana sobbed and rubbed her swollen eyes.
'He was really trying to torture me!'
She always trusted the duke, but he betrayed her. Luana has been doing well, but the duke got suspicious and sent her straight to the dungeon! She was not even a witch in the first place.
'Why is this happening?'
She stared at her toes and tried to hold back the tears about to flow out again.
The dungeon was cold, and she was hungry and felt dirty. But she couldn't help it. Luana was born and lived as an abandoned princess, but she felt lonely now more than ever.
Luana was lonely. She wanted someone by her side, but there was no one.
'There was even my nanny in the kingdom.'
But there is no nanny here. She felt cold and heard footsteps in the hallway outside the cell. The sound of footsteps in the dark should have been scary, but it wasn't.
'Is someone perhaps...'
Perhaps...
A faint expectation swelled up in her heart. Maybe the duke came to release her? She had such expectations. But the person who appeared with the lamp was not the person to be expected.
"Miss Luana."
The butler brought the lamp close to her and called Luana's name.
'It's not him. Who the hell was I expecting?'
