tweet.
the morning is bright and the sun is shining pleasantly.
“it’s time.”
a few days ago, when i opened my eyes, i went to the roden therapist’s clinic, repeating each day.
skip breakfast and go to the clinic dressed lightly.
at such times, roden always came out frowning with the strange scent of medicinal herbs.
“i hope you came today. didn’t i tell you to go back?”
it was an obvious order to celebrate, but he wasn’t going to give in to it.
“labor and management, please don’t do that and listen to me.”
“okay. what do you guys do the therapist closed the clinic door and left the patient alone. i cannot accept such a name.”
i think i’ve heard these words twenty times.
now it was to the point where scabs sat on my ears.
“i am not going to force you to follow me. just listen to the story. that’s enough.”
when he returns, the old healer will most likely die.
it should be forced to follow, but if you go strong from the beginning, you will surely ignite the fire of that stubborn personality.
as he bowed his head and begged, roden’s heart softened a little.
“...if only it was a story.”
i opened the door of the councilor with a narrowed eye.
once inside, he started to get into the car to serve to the driver.
inside the old-fashioned scent was leaking the unique scent of the clinic.
roden brought a steaming cup of tea shortly after.
when two people sit down, he pulls a chair to a table that fills up and sits down.
“eat. even if the congressman looks like this, he uses only high-quality tea leaves, so it will suit his taste.”
the driver inspected the teacup for a moment and then took a sip.
slurling-
the soft tea water lingered in my mouth and soon disappeared beyond my throat without my knowledge.
car handling is no ordinary skill.
“it is a very nice car.”
seeing the knight genuinely admiring it, roden’s expression relaxed a little, as if he was feeling better inside.
“okay. say something. what do you mean by bothering the old man so much?”
the article fell silent for a moment.
soon, he took out a small piece of parchment from his bosom.
one sheet.
two sheets.
it didn’t take long for the parchment paper that had been continuously pouring down to pile up thickly.
“what is all this...”
“the number of villages sacrificed by the plague. i received a report, but i couldn’t believe it either.”
roden’s body froze at the knight’s words.
the knight, who was drinking a sip of tea and quenched his thirst, said, as if his throat was blocked.
“conditions in the kingdom are far worse than you think. if we continue like this, the day will soon come when we will have to worry about the future.”
the plague had spread, but he hadn’t expected it to be this much, so roden’s expression was clearly colored with bewilderment.
“what happened? as far as i know, the scale of the plague isn’t that great except for the outskirts of the west...”
“your majesty has been hiding it. if the people find out that a plague has spread throughout silia and they are struggling, there will be a bigger uproar.”
“anyway, this... isn’t this the level of a plague? as if someone had put a curse on it...!”
“the voice of labor and management is loud.”
unlike before, the sharp-eyed knight restrained roden, who was incensed.
after a small bow, the knight retreated.
left alone in the clinic, roden looked in the direction of the patients and sighed.
“i didn’t mean this... i’m sorry.”
he, who did not know how to take off his complex gaze for a while, hurriedly began to prepare to leave for the royal castle.

“nuna, this is the last time.”
with his swollen, swollen hands, he divides the leftover bread crumbs into small pieces.
the small pieces were divided even more finely.
the child who was called older sister shook her head.
“it’s my share.”
one boy and four girls.
even at a glance, the young people are crouching over the wall, so it’s only natural to draw attention.
for some reason, i couldn’t even find anyone passing by.
they didn’t seem to care if the silence was familiar.
at that moment, the sound of a carriage was heard in the distance.
people here don’t pass around goachon very often, so it’s very rare for a carriage to come like this.
the children’s faces immediately brightened.
“it’s a carriage!”
“let’s go and ask for something to eat!”
excited children ran out into the streets.
barefoot and skinny, i ran down the rough road to the street, and there were several soldiers and knights standing there.
looking at the outfit, it’s not a guard.
knowing that there would be nothing good from encountering a soldier in a place like this, the children who ran excitedly took a step back to quietly retreat.
but isn’t the knight extending his hand with a very friendly face?
“come here. please share some food.”
along with the horse, there was no child who would not fall for the food bag full of dried food.
one of the oldest-looking girls looked at the knight with suspicious eyes.
“...do you have any business with us?”
at that, a soldier met the girl at eye level.
“the owner of the clinic, roden, said he wanted to treat you at the royal castle. be grateful to these guys.”
roden is an old man who occasionally visits them and gives them food or medicine.
although he seemed sloppy, his disposition was kind.
to think that he wanted to take them to the royal castle.
the children’s eyes widened.
it was a bit hard to believe, so the girl still had no doubts.
“i don’t have anything. even if i receive treatment, i don’t know how to repay the favor...”
“what is repayment? don’t worry too much, the therapist will take care of it for you. even if you end up sleeping in the warehouse, it will be better than here.”
“but...”
unlike the kids she likes, the girl seemed to be worried about the sudden situation.
the knight who had been quietly watching from behind approached the children.
“it is not a good thing to turn down a kindness done. healer roden made the decision with you in mind, so please don’t refuse.”
“...”
the girl, who had been thinking for a while, immediately shook her head.
although she is the eldest of the children, the girl’s age is not too old.
i couldn’t help but be tempted by the fact that i would not feel hungry right away and could fall asleep warmly.
the girl, who wanted to stop enjoying the comforts, looked around at the children and made her decision.
“...yes. then, regardless of shame, i will follow the knights.”
the talking girl’s face was red with embarrassment.
