Raphlet advised Yuriel to not enter his room while he was away. The princess said she wouldn’t hurt Yuriel, but it was to prevent her from doing anything unsavory.
“… Why are you crying?”
Raphlet, who had finished preparing to be dispatched with his knights, looked back at Yuriel for the last ti and was bewildered. He left his knights and went to Yuriel.
After he told them to wait a mont, Raphlet took Yuriel out of their sight, and quietly said,
“It won’t take long. I will be back soon.”
“That, though…. I’m afraid you won’t co back again….”
“I didn’t tell you to wait this ti. It’s not too far away, so you can co if you want. The dangerous area is the Alchemist Tower. You can et around the Alchemist Tower.”
Seeing Raphlet getting ready to leave, she rembered the ti he left the Mogris Estate. Unlike then, she knew he was close, but she couldn’t help but be upset.
“I will contact you after moving the monster cores to a safe place. You can co then.”
She could see Raphlet was worried as she was depressed. When they were outside, Raphlet, who always spoke coldly, wiped away her tears.
Yuriel, who barely stopped crying, nodded. Raphlet sighed and said,
“When you co, you must be accompanied by another knight.”
“Yes, I will.”
Raphlet, who had soothed Yuriel, gave that final request.

When Raphlet left, Yuriel beca very bored. She was told not to enter his room, so she had nothing to do.
Yuriel, who was sneaking around Baraha’s room, confird that he wasn’t there and left the building. Yuriel was so bored that she even went to the East Building used by Helio, but she soon left after not seeing a familiar face.
Occasionally, the knights she encountered greeted her, but they passed by without talking. The knights seed a little uncomfortable with Yuriel.
In Mogris, there was a building used by the servants, so it was crowded….
Here, Yuriel was neither a servant nor a knight, but in an ambiguous position, she hardly had a chance to talk with people she encountered.
The servants thought of Yuriel as a mber of the knighthood and treated her as a superior, and the knights she frequently encountered seed to have no idea how to treat her.
The only people who treated her normally were Baraha, whom she had known before, and Helio, the 2nd commander.
After completing physical training and shooting in the training ground alone, Yuriel stared blankly at the sky and thought of a place she had not yet gone.
The place that ca to mind was the dical office. West Building. This is the dical office in the dical unit commanded by the 3rd commander who she had not t yet.
There was a person she knew there. He was the person she talked with a lot during her hospitalization.
Yuriel was about to run to that place right away, but after checking her condition, she headed to her room.
Her body was a ss from training. It was clear that if she entered the infirmary in this state, she would be kicked out without being able to speak.
After returning to her room and taking a shower, Yuriel went to the West Building, carefully checking for any dirt.
“No, Miss Yuriel. I told you never to co again, so why did you co? Is your body okay?”
The dical officer who had taken care of her, greeted her with a surprised face.
Yuriel opened the door slightly and looked inside. When she saw the dical office inside, she opened the door wide with a smile. If there were any other dical officers other than him, she would go back.
“Long ti no see!”
“What, I was surprised because I thought that you were sick. Why are you here?”
The dical officer who was sitting at his desk writing in a journal, opened his eyes wide in surprise. As he was about to get up from the chair, he saw Yuriel’s smiling face and sat back down in despair.
Yuriel had a bright face with no pain anywhere he looked.
“I ca here because I was bored.”
“The infirmary is not a place to co when you are bored.”
“Can I help you with anything?”
As Yuriel approached with a smirk, the dical officer narrowed his eyes and gave a seat next to him.
“You won’t be kicked out because there are no patients, but…. There is nothing good about coming to the infirmary so often.”
“That’s right. But what were you writing?”
“Oh, it’s a duty.”
“May I help you?”
“No. This is a docunt that cannot be read by non-dical personnel…. Miss Yuriel! Don’t stare at like that.”
“No, there was a familiar na, so…. sorry.’
Yuriel looked at the docunts unknowingly and bowed her head. She had to sit through a long lecture about how dical records could only be read by patients, dical officers, and commanders before she had an opportunity to open her mouth again.
“I didn’t hear that Baraha stopped by the infirmary, when did he co?”
What the dical officer was writing was a paper with Baraha’s na written on top. Whether it was a technical term or an abbreviation, Yuriel could not understand, it was impossible to know what it was about.
When Yuriel asked a question, the dical officer answered with a glare.
“This is sothing I shouldn’t say.”
“That paper, it’s about a monster core. I know.”
It was not known what it was, but it was possible to guess from the human figure on the dical record. Yuriel, seeing the fragnts on the back of Baraha’s hand, saw a record marked in the sa place.
At Yuriel’s words, the dical officer closed his eyes and nodded.
“Well, Miss Yuriel was working in the Strategy Room, right? You only chased after Commander Raphlet, so I forgot about it for a while. Of course you know… ”
“Yes, so can you tell what it is?”
“Of course not.”
The dical officer, who blinked his eyes, firmly answered . Noticing how he sharply cut her off as if with a knife, Yuriel had no choice but to retreat a little.
Yuriel, who had retreated to the point where she could not see the dical journal, asked a question.
“Then, just this. Baraha, is he in a bad mood?”
“Yuriel, are you close with Commander Baraha? You’ve been calling him by na since earlier.”
“We’re very close.”
“Well….”
Yuriel nodded her head quickly, and the dical officer looked at her as if trying to ascertain the authenticity. He looked carefully at Yuriel’s face with stern eyes and opened his mouth.
“You have a close relationship with Commander Raphlet, so I know that you are not soone who will lie about things like this.”
“We’re really close. I don’t need anything else, but can you tell that Baraha is okay?”
Yuriel asked, clasping her hands in front of her chest.
She was genuinely worried about Baraha, but it was also a question out of concern for Raphlet, who also had a monster core.
If Baraha’s condition is okay, will Lord Raphlet be okay?
The dical officer tapped his desk with a pen and slowly opened his mouth.
“Well, it would be fine if it was just to tell you about the condition… I know that Commander Baraha has implanted a monster core on the back of his hand….”
“Yes, yes.”
“The thing I was just organizing was the experint log sent to by the Alchemist Tower. The body’s strength increased to a wider area than the area where the core was implanted. So it ans that he was fine and he’s gotten healthier.”
“Really?”
“The information about the increase in physical strength is important, so the Alchemist Tower reported it to us imdiately. If they are injured later, there is a problem such as not being able to use injections in the area….”
Yuriel listened intently to him.
“There are cases where injection into the skin is not possible or the dicine does not work properly.”
The dical officer who had been giving an explanation to Yuriel, who nodded, suddenly hardened his body without speaking.
“Well, that’s it, there are cases like that….”
“dical Officer?”
The explanation that had continued well was suddenly cut short. The dical officer looked blankly at Yuriel and stuttered his words.
Yuriel frowned and looked behind her. There was a large mirror, in which she could see a tall man leaning against the door.
The dical officer saw the man’s face and began to stutter.
Yuriel and the man’s eyes t in the mirror. He was a man with glasses. It was an impressively cool face that didn’t have a smile.
The man turned his gaze away from Yuriel and got up from the door. A voice full of cynicism escaped his mouth.
“Are you going to keep explaining?”
“Oh, no. Commander!”
“Why? Are you about to divulge all the secrets?”
The dical officer jumped up from his chair with a bluish face and answered.
The dical officer answered with his lips trembling enough to look pitiful, and looked at Yuriel. He looked like he was begging for help.
Yuriel caught his gaze and got up quickly.
The dical officer called that man ‘Commander’. There was only the 3rd Commander that Yuriel had not t yet.
Compared to the other commanders, he was a little skinny and could not be imdiately recognized as the commander. He was a man with the impression of a scholar rather than the leader of the Knights.
She had heard the na, but it was the first ti she had seen his face.
The 3rd Commander who leads the dical unit, Shudmuel.
He was a man with gray eyes and silver hair as cold as a blade. A cool glance flashed in the gray eyes that were seen through his glasses.
He was looking at Yuriel silently.
