Chapter 10

And that night. When Brielle was in his dreams and Marie, who was by his side, fell asleep as well, Brielle's door was quietly opened.

It was the Count who came through the darkness. Before he put his hand on his nephew's face, he was afraid he would wake him up from the coldness, so he warmed his hand once in a blanket and measured the heat.

'Fortunately, the fever went down a little.'

He carefully moved the hair on his nephew's sweaty forehead and looked at Marie this time.

A little while ago, she was holding the child's bottle and had a towel in her hand.

The Count quietly removed the wet tower and pulled the blanket around her feet to cover her.

"Uh...um?"

He tried to be as quiet as possible, but he woke Marie up.

"Count?"

"Are you awake?"

"Uh? When did I fall asleep?"

As she got up from her seat, she quickly measured Brielle's forehead from the heat.

"Hoo. His fever has gone down."

"Yes, your back and shoulders must have hurt. You seem to have been in that position."

It was only after listening to him that Marie realized her back and shoulders hurt.

"It's a little bit." She replied, turning her waist to the side.

"If it's not burdened, I'll massage your shoulder."

"What?"

Her eyes widened.

"I'm a civil officer, but when I was in the Knights, I learned how to loosen muscles."

"But, Count, how can you t..."

Though contrary to her words, it was so tight that she was preparing to get a massage.

"Then, let start."

"Ugh."

As if the Count's words weren't false, she felt the muscles in the area where his touch had passed getting soft.

"Why were you in the Knights?"

It was not in the book.

"Usually, the younger boys went into the Knights Templar, but I quit right away."

"Why?"

He didn't say much about it. He just focused on loosening her shoulders.

'From the contents of the book, it seems that he didn't have a talent for swordsmanship.'

Marie fell into her own thoughts.

***

Brielle was unraveling all the animals that Marie had once folded.

"Oh, young master."

These days, as small muscles were developed, these movements became possible.

"Marie, this."

There were insects that the Count had previously painted.

"Do you remember what it is?"

"Ant."
