Chapter 37
He was clearly asleep,
It was only one step. The man came silently for a short period of time and stunned her at once. Her memory after that was all dark.
She slowly blinked. Everything I could see was strange. It was the ceiling that she saw right away, then the bed with an elongated canopy. Even the size of the bed that was supported by four pillars seemed like the size of a room.
As soon as I move my head, the pain hits me, so all I could do is turn my eyes and look around. Luxurious tapestry hung on the wall or the fluffiness of the bed she was laying, all of which were unfamiliar to her.
‘Where am I? Did she come to heaven because I was already dead?’
After the visual shock passed, her other senses began to revive. Ariste notice the scent in the air at once. It was the smell of medical herbs that had a soothing effect.
When I tried to get up, sharp pain immediately penetrated my body. To be precise, it was from her calf and ankle. It took me a while to think why those areas hurt.
I was wandering through the hunting forest after being shot by a gun, and then I got caught in a trap.
The wolf’s groaning eyes came to my mind. There was nothing I could do other than to wait for death.
“Have you awakened?”
After a moment, a voice was heard outside of the canopy bed, and the curtain was lifted. The candle illuminated the shadow of a middle aged woman.
“Oh my god, she finally opened her eyes.”
The woman came close and wave her finger in front of Artiste’s eyes. Seeing her pupil reacting along with her finger, the maid informed the doctor again. “I think her mind has returned.”
“It’s still going to hurt, so you can;’t move.”

The woman gently pressed her body down. Still, she won’t get scabies just because of the pain, so she quietly followed the woman’s words. Still I didn’t stop thinking.
Where do these people come from? And who are these people?
Given this luxurious bed, it was easy to guess that the room in this place would probably be much larger and more luxurious.
“…where…”
This time the doctor came and checked her condition. The sheet was lifted and the bandage wrapped around her leg was examined.
“Please change the bandage. Directions to apply…”
This time he lowered the sheet and went to check the condition of my ankle.
“Okay, this is also in good shape. Change the bandage. I need to fix the splint more tightly.”
“You would have been disabled if something went wrong. You are very lucky to receive all the treatments.”
Then I heard the young maid cry “shhh…” between the crack of the curtains. “I’m glad she survived.”
“Right. Everyone might carry the grudge.” I didn’t know exactly what they were talking about or what they meant. What’s fortunate, and what’s overwhelming. The maid did not open her mouth anymore.
Whatever it is, there was no way for her to know anymore. “…there…”
“Oh, what are you trying to say?” Then I heard the sound of someone slapping the maid’s back.
“Lady, is there something wrong?”
“What Lady.” A small grunt was heard from the side, but the elderly woman ignored it.
“Is there something in your mind? Can you speak?”

“Yeah.”
She was also surprised when her voice came out. Because of the terrible thirst, her voice seemed to come out of her throat, but I couldn’t do anything about it.
“Where is this?”
“This is the Duke of Icanus. And she is one of the maid of this castle.” The Duke? Mais? Icanus?
At that moment, her back straightened up.
“…Duke…The Duke?” At that point, she thought of that accident. As far as I know, I was in a hunter’s lodge, it seems that that was just a while ago, but when I opened my eyes I was already here.
“…why am I here?”
“Oh, you can’t remember.” The little maid cried. “Someone brought you here…”
