Aeryl headed straight to the East Wing to meet Lady Merel. Connie considered stopping him, remembering the Grand Duke’s warning, but she knew how much Aeryl worried for his patients, so she couldn’t bring herself to hold him back. Still, this time Raeler was guarding the infirmary, so Connie confidently accompanied Aeryl. *** The reception room of the East Wing. Aeryl sat on the sofa, waiting for Lady Merel to arrive. Connie stood behind him, on alert as she watched…- 279.4 K • Completed
- The scene of the bedroom came into view. Aeryl discovered that he was lying in bed. Since he remembered falling asleep, the Grand Duke must have moved him to the bed. Thud, thud! Thud! “Doctor! Please wake up! Quickly!” There was no time to let his heart race—Aeryl hurried to the door and opened it. A servant stood outside. The servant tried to explain, but Aeryl stopped him. “Let’s talk while we walk.” Aeryl and the servant rushed toward the infirmary. During the run, Aeryl was…

- Who in the world would enjoy having their emotions laid bare for others to see? Everyone had things they wanted to keep hidden. Even Aeryl felt a chill whenever he thought someone might have discovered his secret. Just imagining someone knowing was terrifying. He hadn’t fully bought into the Grand Duke’s excuse—he’d expected something more serious—but at the same time, he saw no reason the Grand Duke would lie to him. “So that was it. That’s why you avoided me.” Aeryl nodded. Just…

- Could it have been a mistake? Maybe it was just the window rattling. Just as Aeryl was trying to think positively… Knock knock. “Ahh!” Aeryl shrieked in terror. He definitely heard that outside! He quickly clamped a hand over his mouth—but at that exact moment, the door burst open. Bang! Someone smashed the door down and charged into the room. Aeryl jumped up in shock and wildly swung the first thing he could grab. “Ack!” Thwack! The pillow he was holding landed squarely…

- When the infirmary had just opened, most of the people in the castle ended up visiting because of one of Lady Merel’s schemes. Thanks to that, they met Aeryl without time to feel wary of the unfamiliar outsider, and quickly formed the impression that he was a kind and capable doctor. Not only that, Aeryl would ask after their past ailments when they crossed paths, show genuine concern, and freely offer health advice. He even consulted on their family members’ health. At times, he’d listen to a…

- ‘I barely walked a little, but I’m already tired.’ It had been a while since Aeryl had dressed up and worn something that showed off his figure, so he became overly conscious of his posture and gait. Because he was so mindful of it, he felt overwhelmed by the way everyone’s eyes seemed to follow him. He hadn’t been this aware of it before, so the feeling struck him anew. ‘Wearing this really makes me stand out.’ If he wanted to stay hidden, it was better to dress plainly. No matter…

- “Closed? Is he taking the day off today?” “Is the doctor sick?” Those who saw the “Closed” sign on the infirmary door began to worry a little. Aeryl had been looking especially tired lately. Fortunately, no one was in urgent need of medical attention, so there were no wasted trips. But contrary to what people assumed—that the infirmary would be empty—Aeryl, Connie, and Raeler were inside. Aeryl was seated at the consultation desk, and Raeler was cleaning. The infirmary didn’t…

- Aeryl couldn’t move as he remained in the Grand Duke’s arms. The thick clothes he’d once thought warm now felt stifling. The Grand Duke wasn’t in much better shape. In his case, it was worse—he was fully aware of his emotions, which made it all the more overwhelming. ‘This isn’t right.’ They were both thinking the same thing. But despite knowing that, their bodies refused to listen to reason. As if their bodies were separate entities acting on their own. The longer he held Aeryl…

- The madam was reluctant. ‘Murder, really? But he helped with Sorel…’ That was why she’d planned to win Aeryl over and have him leave on his own. Or send him far away, at least. ‘But to think he was planning to leave on his own! And the Grand Duke is thinking about marriage!’ When Aeryl said it, he hadn’t even hesitated. It made it look like the Grand Duke was the only one desperate and clinging to the relationship. Pfft. Lady Merel burst out laughing. ‘I never thought…

- The idea that Omegas make good mothers was a classic prejudice. Since Omegas were predisposed to certain traits, they were statistically more likely to give birth to children with similar predispositions. From that, an absurd line of logic had formed: Omegas give birth to Alphas, Alphas become heroes—therefore, Omegas must be good mothers! “Being an Omega is merely a biological sex characteristic. Gender and personal temperament are separate matters. If you could first define what you mean by a…
