NovelEnglishThe Imperial Japanese Language [Part 1]
*knock knock* A modest knock was heard, and the maid from before entered the room.
“Excuse me, I have brought a change of clothes for Emma-sama… Forgive my rudeness that it is my sleeping wear, but please use it if you would like. I thought she might feel uncomfortable sleeping in a dress…”
The maid timidly handed the sleepwear to Hilda.
The maid did it completely out of goodwill without being asked by anyone. A maid usually never tried to meddle this much.
The Prince left the room while Hilda changed Emma’s clothes.
Whether it was towards the maid or the Prince, Emma’s attitude basically didn’t change.
Although Emma’s greetings and courtesy towards the two were different according to etiquette, Emma wouldn’t exaggeratedly humble herself just because the other person was a prince and wouldn’t be condescending just because the other person was a maid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhoever it was, she would face them with respect as a fellow person and treat them kindly without discrimination.
That’s why she was liked by everyone.
After Hilda finished putting on the sleepwear on Emma, the Prince went back into the room and found that Emma was still sleeping.
Hilda was holding her hand worriedly.
“Even when I changed her clothes, she didn’t wake up. Just how much has this kid been pushing herself for…”
The doctor who came to examine Emma spoke a little embarrassedly,
“The scars themselves have healed up perfectly, so there’s supposed to be no problem… However, since the wounds used to be quite deep, they might leave behind some after-effects inside the body. Well, for now, she should rest well without overdoing herself.”
Wounds that even a doctor couldn’t speculate about.
Had she been enduring it all alone so no one would notice?
. . .
A little while later, Leonard arrived at the royal castle to pick Emma up.
“Leonard, I’m sorry. While she is with me, Emma has…”
Hilda explained the situation to Leonard and apologized.
“Emma is fine, Mother-in-Law. My cat wasn’t making any noise, too. Anyway, I will take her home now.”
“…………cat? Eh? Cat?”
“Emma…” Leonard called, but Emma didn’t show any response.
Leonard could tell just by looking that she was sleeping like a log very comfortably. He could wake her up, but because he didn’t bear to, he just carried her up directly and wrapped her in the blanket he brought in advance.
“I’m truly sorry for making Your Highness and Mother-in-Law take care of Emma. Well then, if you’ll excuse me…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Prince hurriedly followed after Leonard, who was leaving the room, but when the door opened, his footsteps stopped.
More than ten men were standing in the way and obstructed Leonard’s path.
“Count Stuart, I have something I want to talk to you concerning Emma Stuart.”
A fussy-looking man standing in the forefront talked to Leonard while glancing sideways to Emma in Leonard’s embrace.
“Now? I’m currently in the middle of something…”
Leonard replied as if he was troubled, but the man didn’t back down.
“This is a very important matter to our kingdom. We have to understand the circumstances as fast as we can.”
*thud* The men stepped forward and brought pressure upon Leonard.
“I want to take my daughter home quickly to let her rest. Can we talk about this tomorrow?”
Not being affected by the pressure at all, Leonard smilingly said.
In the first place, Leonard, whose body was tempered from hunting monsters and was one head taller than those men, was physically stronger.
To the point that would make you think the result would still be the same even if the number of people doubled.
