140. Damian, terminally ill (6)
140. Damian is terminally ill (6)
My face reflected in the mirror.
As time passes, maturity is melting into his handsomeness.
As if to prove it, black things were appearing around his lips.
“Has this time already come? Well, I got engaged, but it was also time for me to grow a beard.”
Is now the time to shave off the annoyingly growing beard?
I can’t believe I went through a period of growth twice in my life.
I felt a new sense of surprise and lathered my face with soap.
Then, take the razor to the beard and carefully scrape the beard.
-Damian… !!
… I was going to get off.
I heard someone calling my name outside.
“Judging by the voice, it’s Bluebell… “Why are you calling me so urgently?”
Could it be that Nadia and Yuri had an accident?
I should quickly shave my beard and go out.
I increased the speed of my cautious movements.
Psyuk-!
“Mr. “
Because of that, I got scratches on my face from the razor blade.

It wasn’t a big wound, so I roughly washed my face.
After checking my neatly trimmed beard, I hurried out into the hallway.
“Damian!”
“What is it, Bluebell? What’s the matter?”
“Come back to your work!”
She saw me and hurriedly ran towards me.
Then, did he see my wounds?
Bluebell’s expression hardened in an instant.
Her hand that touched my wound was covered in blood.
‘I guess the bleeding hasn’t stopped yet.’
Bluebell, seeing my wounds, asked with a shocked look on her face.
“No way, I guess I was right…” ?”
“What are you thinking? Doesn’t your complexion look worse than that? Did Nadia and Yuri get into some kind of accident?”
“D-Damian… “
“Yes, Bluebell.”
Bluebell spoke in a trembling voice.
He asked me as if he was hoping not.
“You… I’m thinking about killing myself… ? This wound… I was trying to die… ?”
I was silent for a moment.
And, looking at Bluebell getting stiffer, she opened her tightly shut mouth.
“What kind of bullsh*t is that?”
It was so absurd that I forgot what to say.

Calming down Bluebell.
After slowly listening to her story.
I could understand why this happened.
‘I got depressed because I was alone, and after thinking negatively, I thought I was dead.’
I think you can think that way.
But, the fact that I thought I was going to die on my own.
It also meant that they still didn’t know me very well.
Most of the actions I have taken so far have been related to survival.
“Still, I know how you feel about me.”
“Shut up, Damian… “
However, embarrassment due to misunderstanding is inevitable.
After her misunderstanding was resolved, Bluebell blushed and could not raise her head.
“Ssi, it was your fault in the first place! Why are you shaving today? And, what if you get hurt? I’m really annoyed… !”
Sharp-
Bluebell buried her face in the desk.
He seemed to be consumed by shame due to his absurd imagination.
I patted Bluebell on the back to comfort her.
“Now that I think about it again, I think it wasn’t a bad idea. “You have such a rich imagination, Bluebell.”
“Shut up! Shut up! “Don’t comfort me because I want to die!”
“I’m being sincere.”
“Seriously, shut up!”
You don’t listen to me.
It’s sad.
But what I said is true.
It may be a little mixed with lies, but it is the truth.
Bluebell’s claim also had some basis.
“If you think about it, it’s really strange. In every future I die the same way. Either a very talented person killed me, or I killed myself. Otherwise, it would be difficult.”
“Wow, that’s right kata…” “
“Yuri?”
I looked to the side when I suddenly heard Yuri’s voice.
Yuri looked straight at my face and agreed with what I said.
“Well, I think what Damian said is right… !”
“Surprise, Yuri. “When did you come?”
“I am always protecting Damian…” ! It’s natural to be by your side… !”
Did Yuri think that he had done well in what he said?
She smiled proudly and let out an ‘ehehehe’ laugh.
Of course, Bluebell expressed discomfort when she saw that.
“When did you come again? I’m talking to Damien. “Why don’t you turn it off right now?”
“I hate poetry… “
“What?”
“Why do I have to go away…?” ? Oh, it won’t turn off… !”
Yuri closed her eyes tightly and parroted Bluebell’s words.
Is it because he became the Grand Duke?
Unlike before, he seemed to have the courage to break away from timidity.
“You’re growing, Yuri.”
“Damian do you want to die? “Whose side are you taking now?”
“… “
The exclamation came out inadvertently, irritating Bluebell even more.
Then Bluebell raised her head from where she was buried and glared at Yuri.
She then sighed and took a step back.
“… Ha, I’ll just look at it now. Damien’s future is about to change. “I won’t look at you then.”
“Well, one way or another… “
“… “Really, we’ll just have to wait and see.”
Boom!!
Bluebell slammed her desk down and stormed out of her room with an angry stomp.
“Ah, one last thing before I leave, Damien.”
“Uh.”
“Take good care of your body. “Don’t get hurt needlessly like an idiot.”
Bluebell left behind only those words and ran away.
I chuckled at that sight.
“To be ashamed.”
“Damian laughed… “
However, that laughter ended up making Yuri jealous.
“I’m the one protecting Damian… Why don’t you smile at me… “
“Yu, is it Yuri? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“I guess it’s because I wasn’t good enough… ? I’m sorry, Damian… Because I couldn’t protect Damien from the future… I think you might hate it… “
“No, Yuri, that’s not it. Listen to me-“
“I, I am trash…” Even after becoming a grand duke… Trash who can’t protect Damian… “
… Driving me crazy.
After that, it took a long time for her jealousy and her lowered self-esteem to return to their original state.
She also realized that she should not laugh carelessly from now on.
‘… ‘Because the kids are gathered together, you can’t lose tension even for a moment.’
She once again felt how absurd the plan to stay with the evil women was.
***
Today too.
Yuri was protecting Damian by her side.
It doesn’t matter where, but today I tried to hide in a normal location.
“Damian’s room… long time no see… In the past, we used to sleep together in this bed… “
It’s a shame.
Now that we have grown so big, we can’t sleep together.
“If we sleep together… Because I’m having a baby… Not yet… !”
Yuri anxiously turned her gaze away from the sleeping Damian.
She wanted to sleep together like in the old days.
I thought it wasn’t that moment yet.
So, she took out the chair from the desk and went into the space under the desk.
“hehehe, it’s a bit more comfortable here… “
A cramped, humid, place with your back against the wall.
Yuri felt stable in a space that had this feeling.
Damian was visible.
“I’m glad Damien didn’t notice my presence anymore… Damian will be disappointed if he sees me doing this… “
But…
Who will kill Damian in the future?
“Damian… Someone is trying to kill me… Who is killing it… Dear Damian… “
Kkdeuk-
Yuri bit her nails, suppressing her desire to live.
“Damian did something wrong… You’re trying to kill Damian… Damian didn’t do anything wrong… People who think that even if they do something wrong are wrong are wrong… “
Why on earth do people treat Damian so poorly?
It’s all everyone’s fault except Damian.
“I…” I guess it was suggested to me… The princess is suspicious… “
And.
“Nadia is also suspicious… Bluebell, that woman is also suspicious… The crown prince is also suspicious… Charlotte is also suspicious… “
Of course, there is something to believe in.
There is only Damian.
“Ehehehe… “
Yuri curled up on her knees and giggled, hiding under her desk.
But, that feeling only lasts for a moment.
As she thought about the future, she became depressed.
“But, I…” Without Damian… What happens… “
I wonder if I can live alone… ?
In a world without Damian… ?
“No…” I can’t do it without Damian… I’m going to die soon… “
She thought that Yuri knew her well.
You have to lean on something, and there is nothing you can do alone.
Despite having the title of Archduke, only Damien can fill the empty space in his heart.
Yuri realized this intuitively.
Therefore, she moved to protect Damien’s life even more than other people.
“If Damien dies… Because I am nothing… “
We have to make sure Damian doesn’t die.
Do whatever it takes.
Even if I do something Damian doesn’t like.
I have to save Damian.
“If that is… Well, even if it means killing someone… If I had to save Damian… I’ll do anything… “
Friend.
My only friend.
A being that we love, affectionately, and cannot live without.
Yuri thought that Damian must be there to prove his existence.
If you don’t rely on Damian, you’ll fall into a deep swamp and die even if you struggle.
“No matter what I do… I am… I will protect Damian… “
Yuri hid under the desk, igniting his will to live.
