Chapter 30


Laritte and the Duke of Reinhardt

Two days had passed since they came to the Duke’s estate and Laritte was still unconscious.

“It’s kind of due to her endurance.”

Physician Colin said as he put down Laritte’s frail wrist after examining her.

Ian, who was frowning with his arms crossed over his chest, asked again.

“Endurance?”

He was very concerned when she didn’t show any signs of waking up.

“Yes, the anxiety and stress she had experienced caused this to happen.”

The physician said as his index finger drifted up to push up his glasses.

“Anger signals help people to avoid danger. However, too much of it can be stressful and threatening to one’s health.”
“Elaborate.”
“The Duke said she was an illegitimate child, right?”

The physician seemed insignificant. From what it seemed, Laritte was not in a critical state.

“There are signs of her abiding stress, and after a long sleep on this occasion, her inner self has gone into a mental recovery.”
“Then what?”
“I expect her to wake up in a day. Or perhaps, in half a day if things go well?”
“Are you saying she’s not in a state to make us worry?”

Colin nodded in response.

“Please make sure that the bandage on her shoulder doesn’t come loose and that her body is clean. When she wakes up again, she’ll feel thirsty, so fresh water should always be present beside her.”

Then, he bowed politely and left the Duke’s mansion.

But, Ian looked confused. His eyes drifted down to the frail figure of his wife.

Ava, who was standing behind him, patted his back.

“Isn’t that a bit reassuring? Now, now. Straighten out those wrinkles between your eyebrows.”
“Don’t do it like you’re comforting a child.”
“The Duke has always been a child to me.”

A scoff was immediately painted over her old, small frame.

“I can take care of the Duchess, so go to work. I heard there’s a lot to do.”
“I know, I’ve got it.”

Evidently, Ian was busy.

These last few days, a huge number of wagons had been coming and going from the mansion, allowing the return of the employees and the knights under him. They also contained necessary supplies and the documents and confiscation of furniture from the palace.

In particular, most of the documents were intact. The wagon, which brought those documents while escaping the Queen’s surveillance, was sent by Prince Oscar.

Books and contracts were certainly important. They were much needed by the Duke.

For the next week, the palace would continue to send some of his belongings.

The mansion was quickly restored to life, slightly less than the glory of the past, but with wealth and honor.
