Chapter 9

 

“It tastes good… I enjoyed it.”

 

Ian was not very eloquent. However, it was only a few times that he felt sorry for that.

 

‘How can I express this subtle feeling!’

 

‘Damn my tongue.’

 

But Laritte felt proud and content just by watching Ian eat.

 

She was already having thoughts about what she would prepare for their next meal.

 

 

“How do you wash the dishes after you eat? Can you show me?”

 

Laritte’s eyes became sharp as he tried to get up to do the dishes.

 

Her eyes were on his abdomen.

 

‘If you move another foot towards the sink, I will stab you in the wound again.’

 

…..It was clearly like a line of poetry.

 

She was not the only one who could see his dreadful condition. Ian faltered and had to sit back on the chair.

 

He noticed that there was only a rocking chair instead of tables and chairs on the first floor.

 

 

So it was clear that they took away the ones that were existing and sold them. A table must have been brought out from the dusty second floor.

 

Ian sighed, aware of the fact that Laritte had worked hard for him again.

 

He needed to get well soon so that he could help Laritte in getting more comfortable around the house.

 

“Ah.”

 

Thinking of something, Ian exclaimed suddenly.

 

‘Come to think of it, there is something we can talk about.’

 

Which was to explain to her the truth about him being framed for treason.

 

 

The last time he tried, he collapsed and lost his consciousness.

 

‘Sometimes, I forget that she treats me like a normal person and not as a traitor.’

 

“Do you have anything to do right now? If not, there is something I have to say.”

 

“What is it?”

 

Ian hesitated for a moment.

 

It was not that he didn’t trust Laritte now, but he had some doubts that it would be difficult for her to understand.

 

“Maybe you would not believe me, but….”

 

He uttered hollow words again and again.

 

‘What is the hold up for?’

 

Laritte waited patiently, but she was curious at the same time.

 

“…..that I was framed for the conspiracy.”

 

“Huh?”

 

He thought she would say, “Oh, I see. It’s not a big deal” and would just let it go.
