Doctor Resignation - Chapter 8

Me, Viscount Ferelmen and Erhan, were forced to come out together.

As soon as Ferelmen left the Duchess’ room, he greeted Erhan dryly and disappeared somewhere, Erhan and I went back to our respective rooms.

I said goodbye to him and tried to enter my room, but he looked up at me and smiled.

“It’s true that Viscount Ferelmen likes you.”

“Of course.”

When I saw Erhan from afar when I was nineteen, I never thought he was cool at all.

However, the more I looked at the thirteen-year-old Erhan, the more I found him to be strangely cute and handsome.

He resembled the Duchess. His long curved eyes, dark eyebrows, black hair, and delicate white face were quite impressive.

“I told you. I’m not lying.” (Lise)

As I entered the room, I patted Erhan’s head without realizing it.

“I heard from Jenny earlier that there is a bell in your room that connects to the one in my room. If you feel uncomfortable with something, make sure to ring the bell. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.”

He sighed slightly.

“My mother is wary of others. She’s a little cold, she’s like that to me, too. She has become more sensitive after Father’s death, I understand if you’re offended because of her cold words.”

“It’s better to be suspicious than less prepared. I wasn’t offended.”

I answered calmly because I thought it was nothing special.

“In the end, she will eventually see my great skills and acknowledge me.”

Erhan stared at me with his black eyes and nodded.

“Yes. If you really don’t lie as you say you are, that’s what will happen. I’ll wait and see.”

When he was with Wederick, he was like a baby who hasn’t grown up yet, but he could speak more dignified than what I initially thought.

I slightly smiled as I watch Erhan’s back walking proudly to his room after raising his chin.

“Master Erhan, you have to eat everything tonight, too! It’s a promise! I assure you, no one will find it funny or look down on you!”

Erhan turned around and nodded slightly, and I laughed contentedly.

Since it’s already like this, I will raise him to the fullest.

When I entered the room, I was lost in thought.

“…It’s been a long time.”

With that said, the duchess dropped her head completely.

Before I knew it, she held my hand tightly. Maybe she’ll wake up tomorrow and have a very clear head.
