Duke, Please Stop Because it Hurts-Chapter 61

Raven entered the room carefully. As he stepped into the room, he was greeted with a soft carpet laying under his feet. He then took a seat next to the bed while brushing against Molitia’s hair. She had them washed just now, so her soft hair quickly clung to his finger just like a piece of thread.

Needless to say, he breathed a long sigh of relief as he touched her forehead. Her fever had gone down for today.

Raven’s hand brushed against her cheek before moving down to her neck. He nudged into the collar of her pajamas before reaching out to measure the temperature at her neck. When he realized that there wasn’t much difference as compared to her forehead, only then he began to rise.

“Take care of my wife.”

“Yes.”

Raven took some of his clothes again before leaving the room. Just after Pillen had heard a soft thud as the door closed, the room was once again filled with the faint rhythm of Molitia’s breathing.

It was only after three days that she was finally fully energized. Actually, she still couldn’t move after that as her fever went up and down in an uncertain manner. In other words, she was sick for a total of ten whole days. It was not until the doctor’s diagnosis had declared her completely cured that she could finally move out of bed.

In contrast to her carefree attitude, her maids were standing by as they looked at her with such uneasiness.

“Madame! It’s too dangerous to run!”

“Madame! You’ll catch a cold again if you move around with such thin clothes!”

“Madame, Madame!”

Molitia looked perplexed at those two’s predicament, which seemed as though they were dealing with a newborn.

“It’s alright. I’m all better now.”

“No way! We’ll be in big trouble if you get sick again.”

Lili didn’t want to recall how life within the Duchy was like recently. The terribly cold atmosphere was similar to the one she had experienced when she first met the Duke of Linerio as she was employed in the household.

“Lili is absolutely right. Even if you’re now fully recovered, you still have gotten a lot weaker. Which is why you have to be careful.”

“Then, how about wearing fewer clothes…”

“No.”

“The dining hall is much colder than it is over here.”

Molitia was forced to dress in thicker clothes at the words of her two determined maids. They finally looked satisfied at those chunky clothing that clung onto Molitia’s body, which didn’t match the current weather at all.

It was just indoors, though. Molitia was speechless at the behavior of her two maids.

They had confessed that this was their first time working for a high-ranked figure. Therefore, Molitia thought of this reason as to why the two were being quite extreme.

Nonetheless, this same attitude had remained unchanged throughout her time she had stepped out towards the dining hall.

The table was completely filled with various sorts of food despite it being too large for just two people to dine in. For someone like her, who hadn’t been eating properly, brothy soup with meat should be a good start to make up for the lost protein. Still, a diverse set up of food was already lined up on the table.

“What about the Duke?”

“The Duke really wanted to have lunch with us, but he had sent a message that mentioned how he couldn’t attend as he was busy with the amount of workload he had to do.”

He was too busy nursing Molitia recently that he wasn’t able to work on them. She could have never known about this fact. Molitia straight away stared blankly at the table as if she was already exhausted.

“You’re not saying that this much food was made just for me…”

“That’s right.”

Molitia fell silent briefly. Somehow, she was already seated in a chair while facing the line of food. While taking in the view, she couldn’t shake her thought of being buried in them soon.

She first had soup, which that was quite easy for her to eat. However, as she was still on an empty stomach, it was entirely impossible for her to eat a lot in one go.

It was all too much, even if she were to consider the sincerity of everyone around. Regardless of the food that had been eaten slightly, the number of dishes on the table was still too much.

“Madame, don’t you like the food that has been served?”

The butler who was anxiously observing her from the side, briskly approached her figure.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Then, is there anything else you wish to eat?”

“No, it’s just that I’m full.”

“That was enough…?”

The butler looked absolutely incredulous. He had only been living with the huge appetites of his Master and the knights that he couldn’t really comprehend the fact of which Molitia had eaten too much.
