Arthur said to Sally, who had just finished cleaning the floor as he walked toward the closed bedroom door.

"Take care of her so she doesn't feel the slightest discomfort."

"Yes, Duke. Don't worry."

"Well, I'll be back."

After speaking to Sally, Arthur turned back to the bed where Grace was sitting and greeted her in a small voice.

Grace waved slightly to Arthur as he looked back at her with eyes dripping with regret. She was worried that someone might hear her voice as he walked out the door.

Eventually, the bedroom door closed, and Grace spoke to Sally, who came to her side.

"Sally, I have a favor for you."

"Yes, sir."

Grace smiled lightly at Sally, who replied to her words with a grim expression like a knight on the battlefield.

"I'm a little hungry. Shall we have breakfast together?"

"...... Yes? Ah yes! I'll get you ready right away!"

Sally, who had been nervously listening to Grace, who had been nervously wondering what she was going to ask of her, hurried out of the bedroom with a face like a blooming flower at the answer that came back.

Then, suddenly, he remembered Arthur's request a moment ago, looked at the bedroom door, caught his breath lightly, and then left the room with a squishy expression.

Grace, who had been watching Sally like a comic star, let out a small giggle and let out a sigh of relief as she leaned back against the back of the bed.

Sally was going to rest, until Sir Oliver, who had heard all the news from Arthur, brought the records from the crypt of the East Tower.

A moment later, Sally came into the bedroom carrying a large basket of herbs that appeared to be about three inches [30 cm] wide.

The basket looked heavy, and Sally whined and walked up to the side of the bed where Grace was reclining and opened it.

Inside the large basket was a small folding silver table big enough for a bed, sandwiches with fresh vegetables and sliced meats between soft white breads, hot steaming corn soup, water bottles with lemon and herb leaves, and expensive exotic fruits.

Grace looked at Sally, who had arranged too much food for the two of them.

"...... My god. Sally, did you bring all this stuff for me to eat?"

"Absolutely! You haven't eaten in a few days, so you need to eat a hearty meal from now on! Besides, you're going to be looking at the records in the basement of the East Tower all day today? Then you have to eat it even more!"

"...... Still, I think this is too much. Didn't the chef or the other servants suspect you when you brought it in?"

"I told the chef that I was going to bring it to the Duke. He left the kitchen and told me that the basket contained herbs and a furnace to detoxify neurotoxins. So everyone was convinced, right?"

"...... That's right."

"Yes, so rest assured."

Sally smiled brightly, as if not to worry, as she cut and trimmed the food in front of Grace into bites.
