Chapter 62
Furthermore, it was only a few days ago that she had been seriously ill. He was still anxious to see her go back and forth between life and death, which was why he wanted her to eat more.
“Shall I get you something sweet?”
“No, I’m so full already…”
She didn’t think this scuffle would actually end soon. So instead of continuing the talk, Molitia straight away called in Lili and Pillen.
“I think I’m losing my appetite because there’s no one around me. So, I really wish for someone to eat here with me.”
Those three people were completely surprised as their eyes went round at the words uttered by Molitia.
“But, Madame. We are merely servants…”
“It should be fine if you are permitted by your superiors, no? I don’t think that the three of you had your lunch yet as you were busy tending to me just now. I’m currently lonely while the four of us are hungry, that’s why I think it’s better for all of you to join me.”
The three were speechless at the tone of her gentle voice.
“But of course, I have no intention of forcing you if you don’t want to.”
“Oh, no.”
Startled by Molitia’s words, all three of them took a seat in their chairs, albeit awkwardly. They just couldn’t believe how they were now eating with their Madame. The three of them then carefully took a mouthful of the dishes before engraving that glorious scene right into their very hearts.

Thanks to those three, the table that seemed to contain a never-ending line of dishes were soon emptied.
After ingesting the provided medicine, Molitia was finally freed from the dining hall. Her body felt quite uncomfortable as she had just eaten for the first time in a while.
She wanted to take a walk, but Pillen and Lili had forced Molitia to be confined in her bedroom yet again. Her body was also already covered with a thick blanket all over.
“I’m quite sure that a lot of work has built up while I was sick in bed.”
“You don’t have to worry much about Master, Madame. The butler and Master had already told me not to let you do a single thing or even anything that could cause you any worries.”
“That is right. The doctor had also told me to be careful for a while.”
“The cold might recur if you’re too careless.”
The people of Duke of Linerio seemed to have forgotten about the fact that Molitia was already completely recovered. Molitia was bewildered by their protection that she was receiving for the first time, yet it wasn’t bad at all.
But of course, except for the fact that they kept her inside, not even allowing her to step a foot outside her fluffy bed.
In the end, she finally agreed to have a read on her own bed.
“The Master has returned.”
Molitia’s shoulders straight away stiffened when she heard how Raven had already returned to the mansion. It wasn’t apparent on her face, but her fingertips had become as white as snow.
It’s all right.
Molitia placed the book in order before straightening her posture. As she was pressed on the bed earlier, she quickly arranged her disheveled hair while neatening her skirt.

Just after Raven had opened the bedroom door, Molitia quickly jumped to her feet. Her white feet softly trodden on the smooth carpet.
“Oh, you’re already here.”
Raven first said nothing at Molitia’s presence. As he fixed his gaze on her walking figure along with her eyes parted slightly bigger for quite some time, she quickly lowered her head. A tint of blush could be seen in her eyes with just a glance.
“I’ll go and wash up first.”
Abashed by her greeting, he immediately left the room in a hurry. Nevertheless, he returned as swift as he had left with his still-damp hair, wet from his wash.
The clothes he donned weren’t meant for an outing. She also got changed into a different set of clothing and eventually met up with Raven with the relatively comfy indoor clothes. Strange enough, he approached the bed in which Molitia was seated with a beam on his face.
Just after a moment of hesitation, he proceeded to sit cautiously on the bed.
“…I’m back.”
“You’re back already.”
Fortunately, it seemed like he didn’t quite hear her greeting. Molitia smiled softly with a sigh of relief.
