Time Healer Ceres - Chapter 147



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

‘Hmm.’

Ceres, who was sitting in the reception room waiting for the Duke of Schweiss, scratched her cheek under the sharp gaze of the maid standing at the doorway.

‘Am I being watched right now?’

Ceres burst into laughter at the sight of the maid who didn’t hide her fierce gaze while glancing at her as if watching her every move.

Perhaps he was dissatisfied with himself for waiting for the Duke to arrive.

Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. I could have been reprimanded for letting guests into my house without permission.

‘And she’s not even a noble young lady from a good family.’

It wasn’t yet widely known that he was the owner of the Tamer Relic.

Of course, to those who don’t know that fact, he would appear to be the son of an unknown noble family.

How strange it would seem for such a person to sit down and wait to meet the Duke of the Empire.

‘Is it worth being watched?’

Bam!

At that moment, the reception room door opened quickly and a person came in. It was the Duke of Schweiss.

The maid standing near the door quickly lowered her head at his appearance. Her eyes were filled with confusion.

I expected the servant who had gone to the conference room a little while ago to deliver the news would come back, and I expected to be immediately ordered to send the guest away.

But the Duke himself came? How should I understand this situation?

“Ceres.”

And the maid’s mouth fell open in shock at the scene that followed. This was because the Duke of Schweiss was seen approaching the unfamiliar guest and patting his shoulder.

The action of putting a hand on her shoulder seemed very cautious and awkward, but the action itself was a great shock to the maid.

Because it was the first time I had seen the Duke of Schweiss act so intimately toward someone.

If I told this to my colleagues, it was clear that no one would believe me and that I was seeing things as if I was hallucinating.

“Have you been waiting long?”

“no.”

“filled?”

Duke Schweiss frowned slightly when he saw that there was nothing prepared on the table.

A guest has arrived and you didn’t even offer him tea?

The maid standing on one side turned pale at the sight. Seeing that, Ceres quietly added.

“I said I didn’t need it.”

“If you don’t like tea, prepare something else to drink.”

Ceres stopped him again as he was about to make a gesture.

“No, it’s okay.”

Only then did Duke Schweiss nod his head at those words and sit down.

“… … .”

But he sat down and didn’t say anything else. He just drank the tea that the maid quickly brought him without saying a word.

It would be a good idea to ask him why he came, but he just remained silent, as if it wasn’t at all strange that Ceres had come to see him.

Ceres, who had been looking at him with a bit of curiosity, eventually spoke first.

“I came here to ask you something.”

“okay.”

Watching him nod as if to ask her anything, Ceres brought up the story she had heard from Count Elesia a little while ago.

“I heard you ordered some medicine from Count Elesia.”

“I did.”

“And that at a price more than 20 times higher.”

“Because it seemed worth it.”

“Where are you going to use all that?”

“They say there are a lot of monsters appearing in the western region too.”

… I know. I know, but why would you buy that much in such a large quantity for such a large sum of money? And so suddenly? And give me a big deposit up front?

“I heard that all the families that have recently ordered medicine are related to this place.”

Not only the Duke of Schweiss, but also other places have been suddenly ordering huge quantities of medicine recently.

It wasn’t 20 times as much as the Duke of Schweiss, but it was more than 10 times the basic price.

‘And all those families are the families that went here.’

This was something Secretary Juno had told me.

“They must have realized the value of medicine.”

“… … .”

… It seems like you’re avoiding my gaze just now. Am I mistaken?

Ceres’ eyes narrowed. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope.

“Did you know about that cure?”

That I made it.

I had my suspicions from the moment I first heard that the Duke of Schweiss had purchased the medicine at such an exorbitant price.

I wonder if the reason he bought the medicine like that, even giving me the deposit in advance, is because of me…

Wouldn’t he be trying to help, knowing that half of the proceeds from the drug sales would go to him?

I couldn’t help but suspect that he was trying to help me in this way when I had refused his direct help.

“I just bought it because it was worth it.”

Duke Schweiss spouts out the same words as before.

however……,

‘…Why do you keep avoiding my eyes?’

Ceres had no choice but to make a dumbfounded expression at the sight of Duke Schweiss secretly averting his eyes, instead of calmly responding.

After a while, a small laugh finally escaped her lips.

‘I thought this person would be a little different.’

You’re not much different from Uncle Gino or Auntie Rose.

‘This person also seems to have a lot of secret affection.’

Ceres smiled brightly, not caring if the others would be terrified if they heard this.

“We are friends.”

“friend?”

“The Grand Duke of Persia. So don’t worry too much.”

Duke Schweiss’s eyes widened slightly at the unexpected words. But soon his expression returned to an emotionless state and he shook his head slightly.

“You don’t seem like a particularly good friend.”

I don’t know how it happened, but I wasn’t too happy about the fact that Ceres was close to the Grand Duke of Persia.

I didn’t judge people by their rumors, but there were few good things to say about him.

Cruel, merciless… … . Completely devoid of human emotions… … .

Above all, it did not seem good for Ceres, who had been living a closed life for a long time, to continue an intimate relationship.

“I heard you’re a cruel person.”

“It only happens to enemies.”

“They say that he doesn’t give up his side easily.”

“You don’t do that to your own people.”

“I found out that you haven’t slept in a long time, so your nerves are really edgy-”

“You sleep very well next to me.”

“… … .”

…sleeping next to you?

‘That guy… … .’

…Why am I sleeping next to you? The Duke of Schweiss’s eyes shone sharply.

Phew!

“… … ?”

At that moment, Ceres felt a strong gust of wind and looked at the Duke of Schweiss with wide eyes.

At that gaze, he quickly hid his energy, but he was unable to completely erase the faint murderous feeling.

“Really, don’t worry. Kai… no, the Grand Duke of Persia, he’s not such a bad person.”

Ceres, who thought that the murder was still due to concern for herself, continued speaking hurriedly.

“Your Highness, there is absolutely nothing to worry about.”

If I beat that guy, he would beat me? I couldn’t even imagine.

“… … .”

“… … ?”

However, the expression on Duke Schweiss’s face as he looked at me was a bit strange. Ceres, who was very good at reading people’s expressions thanks to Kainel, immediately caught the meaning of that expression.

‘Why are you upset?’

That expression is exactly a crooked expression.

“Any kind of discrimination is not good.”

“yes?”

Discrimination? What kind of discrimination is this all of a sudden? Despite Ceres’s suspicious gaze, Duke Schweiss did not say anything else.

He just quietly mutters to himself, ‘Those two people don’t call me that…’

‘Hmm.’

Then, Ceres’ gaze naturally turned to the neck of the Duke of Schweiss.

Today, he still had a necklace around his neck in the shape of an eagle, dented and with one wing broken.

The symbol of the Dukes of Schweiss is the black eagle.

That made me even more curious. I’ve never seen a head of a family walk around with his family symbol so crumpled and broken.

“… … .”

Duke Schweiss, sensing those gazes, gently touched the necklace around his neck with his hand.

“It’s what my younger brother left behind.”

“ah…….”

At those words, Ceres remembered something she had heard from her butler Colin a while ago.

‘He died… … .’

That too because I was kidnapped.

“When the accident happened, that’s what the child had.”

Is it an illusion that the Duke of Schweiss’s hand seems to be strengthened as he touches the necklace?

“It was held tightly in the dead child’s hand.”

‘Ren… Ren is back?’

‘that is…….’

Bam!

My younger brother, who had been kidnapped a month ago, returned. When I heard the words of the butler, whose expression was frozen, I ran to where my father and mother were already guarding the place. A small corpse was lying in front of the two of them.

‘wren…….’

The identity of the corpse was none other than his younger brother. The younger brother who always chased after him, calling him “hyung, hyung”… … .

When I got closer and looked at my brother, his appearance was so messy that it was hard to put into words.

It seemed like it would be easier to find a holy place.

‘Hands, Ren’s hands… … .’

The worst part was the child’s right hand. The child’s fist, which had been clenched tightly, was torn to the point where the bone was visible.

‘You don’t let go.’

The voice of the mother, full of moisture, was heard. The father and mother tried to loosen the child’s tightly clenched hands, but it was no use.

‘wren.’

He approached and carefully touched his brother’s hand, a hand that seemed a little afraid of breaking.

Ssuk.

Then, as if it were a lie, the child’s hand, which had been clenched tightly and seemed frozen, loosened. As if it had been waiting for his brother.

Bam.

What fell from the child’s hand was a broken and dented eagle pendant.
