Chapter 21 – Lord Selim stays out without permission

By dawn the next day, Laura’s breathing had stabilized, and she no longer needed a water pillow.

In the end, I couldn’t sleep at all.

Noticing the light leaking through the cracks in the shutters, the owner of the house opened the window.

The stream of light wiped the darkness from the patient’s bed.

“… Laura, are you awake?”

“Yes, I…”

She got up and slowly slipped out of bed.

“Everyone, you were taking care of me. I’m sorry. Are you hungry? I have to make something for you.”

As she tries to leave the room, she stumbles in the middle of nowhere.

“Laura! Are you okay? Haven’t you recovered!?”

Yelled the man.

“No, because I slept for a long time, I couldn’t remember how to walk. But I feel great.”

“That means…”

《You completely healed a disease     Your experience points increased     +1000 experience points》

《Current level: 20    Current experience points: 1300/2100》

“You seem to have healed completely.”

Looking around, everyone was in tears. No, only Amanda isn’t crying. She looks sleepy and grumpy, as usual.

“This is the end of the treatment. I’m going home.”

I’m worried about what’s going on with the castle because I stayed out without permission. Because I’m the Duke Household’s precious son.

“Wait, brother. I’m sorry I doubted you. Thank you for treating Laura.”

The man kneeled on the ground and banged his head on the floor many times. In a hurry, his wife also bows to show gratitude.

“I don’t know if I can thank you, but I have some money I’ve been saving to ask the church someday. Please take it.”

I stopped him from trying to get the money out of his drawer.

“I don’t need it. I have enough money.”

“I…I see. That’s right, you look like a noble. Well then, if you have any trouble, tell me. I’ll do anything I can for you!”

“Okay. If I need it, I’ll ask you.”

With that said, I left the house.

For the first time in my life, I stayed out without permission. I must go home quickly.

When I returned to the castle, there was a demon in front of the entrance. It’s a demon bear.

“Where have you been? What have you been doing all this time!?”

The demon bear dad had already drawn his sword.

“Ah, erm, helping people…”

No, I can’t think of anything because I stayed up all night. What should I do?

“Bullshit!!”

Father slashes at me. Wait, my current MP…

《MP: 413/7887     Healing skill proficiency: 1251》

Oh no, my mana volume is almost empty.

If one completely uses up their mana, they would not get hurt. However, they would faint on the spot.

If you suddenly faint while fighting using mana, you will be killed, so I was trained to never use up my mana.

However, in this situation, how can I prevent my angry father without mana?

I desperately try to avoid Father’s sword, but his swordsmanship is far superior to mine. Katia, my swordsmanship teacher, told me to learn more swordsmanship that is useful in actual combat, but now I’m starting to regret that I should have followed her advice.

I did not have other ways how to deal with Father’s attacks. I have to use a barrier.

After creating a barrier, I blocked Father, I blocked, blocked, blocked…

Then my consciousness became hazy, and my vision suddenly turned black.
