"Meliara."

Someone tried to wake me up.

Still in the throes of sleep, I dismissed the voice, turning over.

"Mmm..."

"Meliara, open your eyes."

But the voice sounded quite urgent.

"Are you sure it's not that disease? Did you make a proper diagnosis?!"

An angry voice followed.

"For the princess, a simple motion sickness is correct."

"Then why isn't she opening her eyes?!"

I opened my eyes in the commotion.

As I squinted while my vision adjusted to the light, my field of vision slowly opened up, and saw people surrounding my bed.

"Meliara!"

It was none other than Linden, who had been making the loudest commotion since earlier.

Linden, who had been angry at the middle-aged man in white who was next to him, came closer toward me.

"You're awake?"

"What's going on..."

I had been in a deep sleep for a long time... When I woke up, my voice was completely muffled.

"How are you feeling? Is it hard for you to breathe?"

"I'm fine though..."

I looked around at the people surrounding my bed, including Linden.

Linden, the mister who appeared to be a doctor, Kelber, Tanma, and Lecht.

This was a bolt out of the blue. Why was everyone watching me while I was sleeping?

I quickly brushed my fingers through my hair to untangle it and quickly felt around my face to check if there was any dry eye mucus or saliva.

Lecht stared intently at me, who was doing so. It was as if he were checking each and every action I took.

"Ahem. What's going on?"

There must be a reason why everyone had come into the room of someone still sleeping and woken them up suddenly.

Linden sighed in relief when I cleared my throat and asked again.

"Haa... Don't be too surprised and listen."

I was already extremely surprised at my point of view when I woke up, with everyone staring at me, but I nodded without mentioning that part. Wouldn't anything be less surprising that this situation?

"There's an epidemic going on in the village right now."

"What...?"

I take back what I just said.

There was something that was even more surprising.

***

"Thirty percent of the village has caught it? Isn't that extremely serious?"

Listening to the story, the situation seemed very serious.

Apparently the infectious disease that had spread in the village was transmitted through contact, and that the symptoms included age spots that spread across the skin and red spots that resembled hives. Whether it was a result of the skin being scorched internally, the failing of the respiratory tract came with it along with coughing up blood.
