"You've worked hard, Doctor Sebastian."

I look up at him and smile softly, wondering if it would be normal to respond to teasing with teasing.

He noticed that we kissed and made fun of us the whole time, so why not make fun of him openly?

"I think Sebastian is the best, too."

"......Is that so?"

"Yes, Sebastian."

Lejan, who pulled on the corners of his mouth, smiles back at me in kind after I called him Sebastian, and nods awkwardly.

"I'm sorry."

Coming closer, he whispers quietly.

I don't know what's going on, but it seems that he doesn't like the name Sebastian.

"I'm serious."

What should I do?

I was going to make fun of you today.

"Believe me."

Seeing that desperate expression on his face makes me want to keep going.

At the same time, I wonder what else I could do as I glance at him and nod softly.

"Okay."

"Thank you."

He bows his head briefly as if he's thanking me from the bottom of his heart. Smiling, I turn away.

The sunny village of Condel is in much better condition than when I first arrived.

The part that looked like ruins is being cleared up quickly by the 3rd Guards, and it's thanks to Lejan's sorting out the wounded and starting treatment.

However, the situation in the village is still in a state of disarray.

"It's a mess."

"It's pretty much organized."

Lejan shakes his head as if to tell him not to think about it like that.

"Nevertheless, most of the villagers seem to have their lives saved thanks to your wife making an evacuation space in advance. So, the cleanup is much easier."

"That's good."

Knowing that these were words of comfort, I smile softly at Lejan.

"The village will be restored soon. The knights can also be healed. So, don't worry too much.

Lejan, who quickly became serious, as if he had been teased by smile, speaks as if he's comforting me.

I lift my head in his direction.

"You've worked hard, Lejan."

"What?"

Lejan, who's rubbing his nose with his index finger as if he's embarrassed, leans back.

"This is what I'm supposed to do. This time, it hasn't been too hard. It's very easy because Lady Callian has helped me a lot."

"......"

Lady Callian? Who is that?

Listening to what Lejan is saying, of course, it seems that he's assuming that I know.

Who is the Callian that I know? I want to narrow my brows together.

"Lady Callian?"

"Yes, she is very knowledgeable when it comes to medicinal herbs. She helped a lot. Oh, there she is."

Lejan waves his hand, pointing his finger at the woman who is diligently moving as if she's there, just in time.

"Ah."

A silver-haired with a rolling voice.

"I heard that Abigail is the daughter of Baron Callian. Don't you know her? She's famous for being Kyle's lover......"

"......"

Oh, that's right.

Abigail's last name is Callian.

Even after hearing that she was staying in Condel at the founding festival, I have completely forgotten her existence out of urgency. I then look at Lejan.

"Don't you know?"

"I know."

"It looks like she's famous. Anyway, it was fortunate that she was staying in Condel."

"Really?"

"Yes, she is very knowledgeable about herbal formulations."

Perhaps it's the way I responded, Lejan laughs haphazardly and continues praising Abigail.

There's so much to say that his mouth doesn't seem to be drying up.

"How could such a beautiful woman have walked the difficult path of herbal medicine? I even felt more sorry for her."

He lightly folds his arms as he grimaces, speaking as if he's assimilated to her emotions.

"Really?"

"Yes, Your Grace, you may not know, but this is it. Herbology is not all about wounds and bandages with just existing herbs."

I want to see how far he would go.

"I had to travel all over the remote mountains to find medicinal herbs. It is a difficult task for even some herbalists. For example, there are herbs that only grow in crevices of cliff rocks, and sometimes we need herbs that grow in the sea."

He seems determined to go all the way.

"It's usually not that hard. But again, such a situation is a can be a blessing in disguise because today, Lady Callian is looking for herbs in Condel... Oh, that's right. Your Grace, did you hear that story? Her father, Baron Callian, is here today and tomorrow. So, it is said that he came to Condel to find medicinal herbs that are good for ailments with desperation. Her filial piety is really great. Yes."

Lejan, who stuttered slightly at the end of his words, shuts his mouth without looking back at me.

"Go on, Doctor."

"Oh, I'm done."

"You think Lady Callian's filial piety is great, right?"

"Yes. No. No. Yes."

Lejan, who swallowed dry saliva, secretly avoids my gaze and nods.

I'm a little disappointed by that look.

Hey, hey, no matter how good she is, what are you doing? You fell in love with Abigail the first time you saw her because you couldn't help yourself?

Even now, Lejan and the men around me are smiling, looking at Abigail.

What are men...

I lightly click my tongue and turn my head to follow Lejan's gaze.

Yeah, to be honest, it isn't that I can't understand the feelings of Lejan and the men.

Abigail's appearance is beautiful even to some women.

Truly to the point where I think, 'There's an angel in white is over there!'

Dressed in a plain indigo blue dress that could look dull, the sight of the injured knights with a shabby cloth tied roughly in front of them shines brightly.

How can there be such a thing?

An angel in white!

Our female protagonist who knows herbal medicine well!

Even in such a poor situation, her spirit of sacrifice has no hesitation in helping people!!

Wow!

If she holds the microphone and talks outside the hall, she is likely to get explosion of applause and thunderous shouts—

"......"

I glance back at Charles.

No, it's not that I'm suspicious of Charles, but when everyone sees Abigail, I wonder if he's seeing her, too...

Why isn't there such a thing?

He says he's not interested, but just as I haven't found any evidence that I have completely escaped from this novel, he might feel his love for Abigail at any time.

Even though I know it, I don't want to see it. If I see it, I'll be upset.

It's crazy.

So, I turn my head very carefully to find him.

"......"

Fortunately, he seems too busy talking to Ledin. He's not even looking at Abigail.

I nod with satisfaction, seeing Charles with his back to where Abigail is and not knowing where she is.

"Like Lejan said, Lady Callian is very filial and has a strong spirit of sacrifice. It must be difficult because she have a weak body."

I look up at Rezanne, feeling that even my heart, which has been knotted like a twisted rope, is becoming more generous.

"That's what I'm saying. It seems that His Majesty Kyle has foreseen her as the crown prince—"

"Oh, so she has found that herb?"

However, my generosity is only limited to Charles, and I have no intention of accepting more from Lejan, so I decidedly cut off his words.

"Isn't it impossible to enter the mountain range because of Cadensha?"

To be honest, if we start talking about Abigail again this time, there is no promise when it will end again, so let's tilt our heads and ask the questions quickly so we can get rid of them—

"No, they said it doesn't look like it is."

Lejan shakes his head.

"Hmm?"

I frown at the unexpected situation again.

Obviously, this scene is an episode where she confirmed her love with Kyle and went back to find medicinal herbs.

There will be many future episodes where Abigail and Kyle will confirm their love, but this is the only chance she has to get the herb that could save Baron Callian. Therefore, in order to proceed with the story—

Abigail needs to find some herbs.

Only then can Baron Callian live a few more years with good health thanks to the herb.

That's how, on the day of Abigail and Kyle's wedding, the secret of her birth will be revealed.

It was said that only Baron Callian knew the truth.

I narrow my eyebrows slightly, wondering how the hell is this going to flow.

The feeling that the novel is flowing so strangely leaves me wondering if it's going to make a different story because of the twists so far.

"But, she's very calm and elegant."

Lejan, who returned to praise Abigail again as if he's on repeat, narrows his brow as if he's admiring her.

"How can she be so aristocratic?"

For a moment, I push down the question I wanted to ask as I turn my head to look at Abigail.

Noblesse Oblige.

I can see what Lejan sees when he said she's aristocratic.

Abigail seems to be doing what I'm supposed to do.

Seeing her taking care of each other by making eye contact with them—

Rather, Abigail looks like the duchess.

I feel the rope twisting again.

To be honest, the boundary is so blurry that I'm wondering if it's me who's twisted or am I just being weird.

Appearing all of a sudden, she's wanders around, meddling in all directions as if she's Diago's hostess.

"Nobles don't act like that."

I feel bad.

"What?"

But there's no need to stop her from acting like that.

She's doing the best she can, and I just need to do what I can.

For example—

"Huh? Is that Ergel?"

Spending money like crazy!
