SHIZUKO

“how was he?” Mrs Florie asked placing down the mushroom porridge on the side table she placed the back of her palm on his forehead to check the temperature. He moved a bit and groan out and i know that his skin must burn because of the temperature of his body.

I kept quiet turning to look up at the old woman. Her face frowned before she flashed me her usual worried gaze. And i know that he is not getting any better “I am going to get him damp clothes. And if he wake up please feed him some porridge i made.” she said before leaving the room.

Within five minutes, the man woke up as i turn to look at you “My lord, are you alright?” what a dumb question to ask toward an obvious sick person. But I couldn't think straight as he blinked a few time, i was the first person to greet his sight.

“Where am i?” my question was left hanging but that does not matter “You were found passed out in your office room. Why did you put a risk on your own life just to work very hard until you're all drown out?”

He stared at me quietly the whole time i talked. I would nag him like an angry mother but his soft gaze stopped me. Stopped me from keep talking “I just woke up, Shizuko” i turned away trying to hide my embarrassment before i reached for the porridge “And you might as well consume this before the maid come.”

He groaned turning away from me as soon as his eyes land on the white bowl which of course he needs to eat the food containt. I despise eating during sick as well but it's an obligatory to eat. If you want to stay alive, then eat.

“No, you're not refusing or giving me an excuse you're going to have this porridge. Now open wide” i said before scooping the porridge and wait for him to turn around

“I am the one who gives order in this house”

Huh. I see. He's finally taking 'abuse of power' seriously now huh.

“oh? And you might as well be aware of your own state right now, my lord. Just look at you all weak and you can't even get up. Do you think anyone would listen to a weak man?” i provoke making him turned to look at me.

Bingo.

“Now, if you want to keep giving order around in this house, i suggest you to open your mouth and let me feed you” i said.

He finally gave up, opening his mouth and consume the food slowly. Not after third scoop, Mrs Florie appeared with a damp clothes before she walked toward tristan “I brought you the damp clothes”

“Huh? For what?” he asked turning to look at the damp clothes. He raised his eyebrow before shaking his head. Knowing very well it will be put on his forehead.

I do despise having damp clothes on my forehead as well..it strict my moves.
