I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way? Ch 141

Tap, tap, I knocked on the door. I heard the maid Maya replying “yes?” from inside.

“Excuse , Elise-dono.”

“Eliza-sama!”

A smile blood just like a flower on Elise’s face as she called out my na. Today as well she was resting on her bed with the window closed, and her complexion didn’t seem well. It seems that she’s been having more seizures again recently, and she’s staying bedridden with a weak body.

“I’m glad that you’ve been visiting so often lately.”

“Not at all…… I just co by whenever I’m free. But, well, I don’t mind coming to visit Elise-dono once in a while, although this ti I have another reason for seeing you.”

“You do?”

Elise’s eyes were round, and she closed her eyelids ambiguously. She has an innocent smile, but it also seems like she’s given up. It’s definitely a hard thing to accept, having your illness get worse again when you’ve gotten better before. Although, her symptoms should still be lighter now than when she first ca to my domain……

“Elise-dono, I have sothing I would like to give to you.”

“Yes? What is it?”

As she tilted her head, when she saw the inscrutable person whose gender and age were both a mystery dressed in white behind , her eyes beca like round saucers in astonishnt.

“……Oh, is this the girl?”

Elise glanced over very interestedly at Priest Faris’ veil, and behind Priest Faris, Ratoka nonchalantly ca in as well.

“This person here, is Priest Faris. Priest Faris is a licensed national doctor, so I troubled this person to co see you today. Elise-dono, I also inford your father and uncle in advance already, so please rest assured.”

At the words licensed national doctor, Elise’s mouth went wide agape and a small gasp escaped from her.

National doctors are extrely rare. The test to beco one requires much dical knowledge, and the high test fee narrows the candidates down even fewer, and of the doctors that do take the test, fewer than half will pass.

Basically, the national doctor’s license program was launched as a qualification to beco a royal physician, and it’s basically not needed at the local level. As they’re required to handle the controlled drugs, their number will probably increase in the future, but currently there’s fewer than 50 licensed national doctors.

“It seems to be forest syndro. Would it be alright to ask you so questions about your illness?”

“Ahh…… Of course.”

Elise seed confused at everything that happened so suddenly, but seeing nod at her affirmatively, she was able to relax.

“I’ll be in your care.”

Priest Faris inquired about how frequent her coughing was, how serious her seizures were, and when she would have them. Elise answered most of the questions, and occasionally her maid Maya would add so details as well.

After Priest Faris finished the dical diagnosis, she wrote a dical permit that’s sort of like a prescription and handed it to , giving her permission for Feria to burn the Renvia beeswax candle for fifteen minutes every day, in order to reduce her seizures and telling her to burn it especially during the seizures. As I took the permit, I asked “will this be alright?”

“Repeat attacks are common with forest syndro seizures. If your mind and body are weak, coughing will increase even if there are no cotton butterflies around anymore. Symptoms are also dependent on age, so they should lighten as she gets older and her body matures, so please make sure to keep a positive state of mind as much as possible.”

As expected of a holy person, I’m impressed that she can say such things as well. Just hearing this will convey a sense of relief.

“Yes.”

“It’ll be alright, while the royal capital area does have more cypress trees than Kaldia does, cotton butterflies almost never fly near the noble district and the noble school. Most of the trees are basically outside the huge city. Your symptoms won’t worsen if you co to the royal capital.”

Pat pat, Priest Faris even patted Elise’s shoulder as if to comfort her, while Ratoka and I listened silently.

It was only recently that I noticed Elise’s seizures would beco more severe whenever she had to leave Kaldia. Since she’s about to turn thirteen years old, she’s going to be required to attend noble school next spring. I was worried about her having to leave this domain that’s beneficial for her recuperation, and of course she’ll have more pain as well if her seizures increase. And according to Ratoka, Elise was more attached to life in Kaldia than I believed.

“……Elise-dono. In the royal capital, it’ll be easier to et with your father and uncle. I’ll also being living there during each sumr. I believe that the winters in Sherstok were colder than Kaldia’s to begin with, so you should be able to handle the royal capital’s weather.”

“Eliza-sama……”

Priest Faris slipped out of the room without a sound. I walked up to Elise’s bedside near her pillow, to fill in the empty space where Priest Faris just was.

Thirteen years old. In Arxia, this age ans you’re almost an adult, and many laws will treat you equal to adults. However, this girl in front of still only thinks that I’m an unreliable child.

At this mont, I saw for the first ti an expression from Elise that seed like she was about to cry. This is despite the fact that she’s already been in Kaldia for three and a half years now.

Elise would rarely let her anxiety show, because she didn’t want to worry her family. ……Even though she has a great relationship with her affectionate family, it doesn’t an that she doesn’t suffer. Maybe it’s impossible for soone like who killed her own family personally to completely empathize with her, but it’s not a good idea for to ignore emotions I can’t understand.

My world is such a heavy one to bear. Pain and suffering are so close to , much more so than in the world of the mories left to .

“……In winter, I probably won’t be able to visit this domain anymore?”

To Elise’s tiny little desire, I could only shake my head and answer:

“I’m afraid not.”

Is that so, was her reply as her shoulders drooped in disappointnt. Honestly, I wanted to say that I didn’t mind if she ca over whenever she liked. Even though I haven’t visited her all that much, having a gentle, kind-hearted girl close to where I can visit her any ti I want, it’s a wonderful healing experience for my heart.

However, it won’t co true anymore. There’s a high chance that she won’t ever visit Kaldia again in her lifeti.

A formal protest has arrived in Arxia from the Planates Dukedom regarding the treatnt of Prince Albert. When Prince Albert was forced into the monastery, it basically ant that he lost the right to attend noble school. For being born a noble, just what type of unfair treatnt is it that he isn’t able to go the noble school that’s required by law to attend, this sort of protest.

The protest was a strong condemnation, and sharply criticized Arxia for the insult to the Planates bloodline. The disappearance of the Rindarl Kingdom could now happen at any mont.

It’s a very dangerous situation, with the only potentially friendly country of Planates in the future Rindarl Union making a formal protest to us at this timing right before the Rindarl Union will be ford.

……Everyone is concerned about the relationship with the neighboring country. Especially when I was at the eting of the Jugfena region domains earlier, our domains made plans to increase our military armants and prepared for the possible outbreak of war.

I kept all of these matters to myself, and gently presented the box of beeswax I had in my hand to Elise.

“This is what I was referring to earlier when I said I have sothing to give to you. I’ll be really happy if you accept it.”

“What’s this?”

“A type of beeswax that’s also a dicine to treat forest syndro. You must follow the law and Priest Faris’s instructions when using it, but there should be a beneficial effect for your seizures.”

Elise looked at the box placed on her knee with a look of amazent. Of course, dicine is rather expensive in Arxia. And for the Renvia beeswax which is now a controlled dicine, it’s probably going to be one of the most expensive to prescribe.

“Whenever you’re feeling better, please co and visit my sumr townhouse in the capital. It’s a bit of a small, ramshackle house, but…… you’re welco anyti.”
