The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

176 – Return (8)

After the sun set, dinner ended quickly.

Everyone had been in a gloomy mood since what happened in the square.

This is because we continued eating with less conversation than usual.

Originally, I decided to look around the streets of the capital after finishing my work.

Since it was dangerous to go outside, everyone decided to spend time at the mansion.

Likewise, I spent most of my time in my room, unable to go outside.

After returning to the room after taking a bath, I collapsed on the bed.

“Haa…”

As I lay down on the soft bed, I felt drowsy.

The stress and fatigue that had accumulated over the years made his head heavy.

Meanwhile, the intense pain in my shoulder continued to torment me.

Normally, I thought it was bearable.

‘Damn it…’

Is it because I’m not in a good mood? My senses became more sensitive.

Even though I injected magical energy into my shoulder and applied ice, the pain did not go away.

Erina left for a moment to take her bath.

While I was quietly enduring her pain alone,

“Master. “Is it okay if I come in?”

Kayla’s voice was heard along with a knock on the door.

When I told her to come in, she came into the room with her face full of worry.

Then he looked at my face and came to me with a serious expression.

“You don’t look good. Are you okay…?”

“It’s nothing.”

He pretended to be okay, but the pain seemed to be visible on his face.

And upon seeing her frozen shoulder, Kayla came up to her pale face and checked her wounds.

“I will call Serika!”

“No. Are you okay.”

“You never know. “It’s better to get a checkup…!”

I hugged her as she fidgeted and didn’t know what to do.

Her wounds didn’t get any worse and she didn’t need to call Celica.

However, if Kayla were by her side, wouldn’t her pain go away a little?

Erina was also away, so she wanted to be with her for the first time in a long time.

And I had a lot of things I wanted to say to Kayla.

“Kayla. “Please stay like this for a moment.”

“…If my lord wishes, I will follow.”

Kayla accepted my embrace and hugged me warmly.

At the same time, stability came to her dizzy mind and her pain subsided a little.

Kayla was always clinging to me and obsessed with me.

But for now, I asked her for her skinship.

She was grateful that she followed her without saying anything, so she hugged her waist tighter than usual.

Then Kayla let out her sigh along with her feeble moan.

“I will hug you whenever you want…”

“Thank you. “Kayla.”

Once she calmed down a little, I tried to let her go again.

On the contrary, Kayla did not let me go.

In fact, she continued to hug her stronger than me and did not let go.

Now I wanted to stop hugging and move away.

When she saw Kayla looking up at me, she couldn’t move.

Her wet eyes, as if tears were about to fall, stopped me.

“Master. It’s okay. “I am here.”

“…”

“I will be with my lord no matter what the situation…”

Unlike Erina, there was no way Kayla would give her empty words.

She has already sacrificed her life for me and pledged her loyalty.

She was Erina, who was always by her side, but both affection and anxiety coexisted.

It was also true that she felt more at ease when she was with Kayla.

“Thank you. “Kayla.”

“Yes…”

Her embrace ended when she finally gently pushed him away from her.

We lay side by side on the bed together in a warm atmosphere.

Kayla was always worried about me, but I also had concerns about her.

Recently, the moments when her expression darkened increased.

Of course, up until now, she only showed her upright attitude.

After I got hurt, I often showed a downcast appearance.

Even while she was returning to the capital, her expression was rarely bright.

Even when he received a gift from me, his expression was not very good.

“Kayla.”

“Yes. “My lord.”

“Do you have any worries or concerns?”

Then Kayla was so embarrassed that she couldn’t open her mouth.

Uncharacteristically, she muttered, unable to give a straight answer.

“I always worry about my lord…”

“I’m asking because you’ve been looking really bad lately.”

“…”

“If there’s anything you want, please tell me anything.”

But Kayla just quietly averts her gaze from my embrace.

She did not reveal her true feelings until the end.

There’s probably a reason why you don’t tell me.

I can only predict that since she trusts her, there must be a reason why she doesn’t tell me what she says.

She decided not to pry any further.

Rather, she looked distressed at my question.

Look at the conflicted expression on your face as to whether you should talk to me.

Instead, I patted her on the back and tried to calm her down.

“It’s okay if you don’t say anything.”

“Oh, no! “I will tell you!”

“No. “There must be a reason you don’t want to talk.”

Then Kayla looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.

“Really…?” ?”

“Yes. “You can do whatever you want.”

No matter how worried she was about Kayla, she had no intention of forcing her to open her mouth.

She decided to let herself handle her own worries.

“…Then I will tell my lord when I think I am ready.”

“Yes. “Be sure to let me know when that time comes.”

I don’t know what concerns you have.

I decided to wait for her to be honest someday.

“Thank you. “My lord.”

Fortunately, Kayla also smiled with a slightly relieved expression.

She didn’t look as bright as before, but she believed that leaving it up to her to make her own choice was the right thing to do.

“Ugh…”

As soon as morning dawned, she woke up looking at Erina’s face.

She fell asleep with a peaceful expression and quietly closed her eyes.

I could feel her heartbeat through my body touching hers.

Erina is always beautiful even when we are together.

Let’s try to raise her body carefully so as not to wake her.

“Ugh… !”

Suddenly, Erina opened her eyes with a painful expression.

He instinctively hugged me and trembled.

When I looked at my face with hazy eyes, my eyes, which had been full of anxiety, regained stability.

“Uh, where are you going…” ?”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

“Then please stay with me…”

Erina starts the day by complaining like a child.

I was already used to it, so now I could only laugh.

Perhaps it was because she fell into a deep sleep for the first time in a long time that her mind felt refreshed.

Of course, the pain in her shoulder was still there, but it was enough to call it a good morning.

As I lifted Erina up from her bed with her by her side, there was a knock on her door.

“Seohyun. “Have you woken up…?”

After listening to her voice, I recognized that she was Serika.

When she heard her voice, Erina woke up as if having a seizure.

Having already predicted her actions, I stroked her head and calmed her down.

“Yes. “It’s okay to come in.”

After I gave permission, Celica carefully opened the door.

When Erina’s eyes turned, she failed to approach with only her head sticking out.

“Is it okay if I check your wounds?” ?”

“Ah. Okay.”

Every morning, Celica started the day by checking my wounds.

She had to check every day to see if the wound had opened during the night.

Celica slowly approached and sat down on the edge of her bed.

She took my top with a deft hand.

At that moment, Erina’s fierceness became stronger, but she could do nothing to stop me.

“…Be careful.”

“Yes. Do not worry.”

Celica took down my top with her careful hands.

A wound that festers as white as ash.

Celica continued her prayer with her hands clasped together.

Unfortunately, it had no particular effect.

“Today, let’s visit the healers in the capital.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Originally, she was scheduled to head to the healing center after finishing her work last night.

It would be best to visit early in the morning when there are no people around.

“Let’s get up and get ready to go.”

“Yes. “I’ll make sure Tyria wakes you up too.”

“Kayla… ?”

“You left early in the morning. “It looks like he went out to train.”

Every day, Kayla did not miss training.

In particular, her performance intensity seemed to be increasing even more these days.

I have been exercising and training my magic since dawn when everyone was asleep.

Even Serika, who was training with her, has been unable to keep up with her recently.

Of course, it was difficult for Celica to keep up with Kayla’s intensity of exercise.

I was able to gauge how arduous and difficult Kayla’s training was.

“You are truly amazing. “I continue to practice without missing a single day.”

“Celica. “Don’t you train and pray every day?”

“But not as much as Kayla.”

Although Celica showed a humble attitude, she was also doing a difficult job.

Perhaps thanks to that, among us, the one whose abilities and level increased the most was Serica.

When we first met, the sight of him out of breath because he couldn’t follow us has almost disappeared.

Now, he was doing a great job as a party member.

“More than anything, we couldn’t even heal Seohyun’s wounds…”

“Don’t say that. “You did your best.”

As far as I know, the most capable healer in this world was Serika.

Perhaps the healers in the capital will not be able to properly heal my wounds.

I didn’t have much expectations because I was already half-given up.

Celica put my top back on with a gloomy expression.

“Let’s head to the healing center first. Please prepare slowly and come out.”

“Yes. I’ll be going soon.”

After checking her wounds, Celica went to her room to get ready to leave.

When she finally disappeared, Erina let her guard down and looked at me.

Erina looks at me like a calm puppy.

Her face turned bright red as he patted her head again.

“…Are you in a lot of pain?”

“Don’t worry. Because it doesn’t hurt at all.”

Erina’s expression brightened as if she was relieved by my words.

Unfortunately, my pain did not subside, but continued.

***

“I’m sorry… “I don’t think this wound can ever be healed.”

Everyone froze at the healer’s words.

I sighed and checked the wound once again.

The healer just shook her head and did nothing.

“The good news is that the wound won’t get any worse.”

“But does this mean that treatment is impossible…? ?”

“…Yes. “It’s unfortunate, but this is for the best.”

No one could continue speaking due to the healer’s assertion.

In particular, Tyria was shaking with a pale complexion as if she was scared.
