I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 7 - I'm back (1)

"Cassion."

Ganien called Cassion, who was heading to Ruel's room.

"What's the matter? Do you have any inconvenience?"

"No, it's not something like that, but I do have something to say."

"I don't know why you have been talking to me so politely since this morning."

Cassion took the watch out of his pocket and checked it. There were 10 minutes left.

Ruel had asked Cassion to wake him up at 8 o'clock, so Cassion had to wake him up on the dot.

He didn't want to imagine his heart pounding in pain, if he failed to complete the command,

Cassion said.

"Keep it short."

"I apologize in advance for being rude. Why don't you join me? I don't mind if it's not right now. But later..."

"I refuse."

Cassion cut him off with a phrase.

Ganien, who suggested it, seemed to not understand the reason for refusal.

"I suggested it because I knew the time you spent with Ruel wasn't that long. But I didn't think you'd say no at once."

"Because you're a guest here, I'm putting up with this rude behavior."

Cassion took a step without looking back.

"Sigh, what a waste."

Ganien looked at his back and scratched his neck.

If he had met Cassion first, they could have teamed up.

The Lord, assassins, and raids.

The combination of these three things made the relationship between Ruel and Cassion so strange.

But it certainly wasn't a close relationship.

'...did that mean there's something strange about Ruel?'

In Ganien's eyes, there was nothing special about Ruel that could capture Cassion's heart.

No.

In Ganien's eyes, Ruel was just powerless.

'Did I understand something wrong? Is there something else I'm missing?'

Hmm... It would be best to observe Ruel again.

5 days later.

My eyes were filled by the red sunset.

The sky was really wide, as I stood on the ground with my own two legs.

I kept my mouth shut because I felt something was going to rise up from the inside.

'I did it.'

I really did it. I walked.

I walked over to the peak and smiled back at Cassion who was behind me.

Cassion laughed all the way up to that point.

"Well done."

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to do it so soon."

Ganien clapped his hands in admiration.

"Thanks to your help, I did it. Thank you."

With a nod, I thanked the two.

"Ruel-nim, please sit down for a moment."

Cassion walked into the mansion with his mouth raised, as if he had seen something that excited him.
