I Didn’t Tame The Beastly Duke! - Chapter 2-1

I fell asleep on my usual bed, but when I woke up, I was in an unfamiliar environment.

I looked around and was surprised when I saw a luxurious room that seemed like a restored room from a 17th-century European royal family.

Yeah. That was a good description. This is absurd, but perhaps my playful roommate threw a surprise party.

However, my body’s changed. It wasn’t my usual oriental skin. I had dazzling white skin, similar to a person with albino.

When I jumped up in surprise, western looking foreigners gathered in the room and shouted out a name.

“Master Ninena!”

They were all dressed in white. They looked like doctors.

I was petrified. I thought I was kidnapped by a group of fanatics who are sprouting nonsense, and will soon have me undergo biological experiments.

Even so, my whole body ached. It was impossible to pinpoint where the pain was.

As soon as I got up, I felt nauseous, my stomach felt queasy, and my hands trembled along with my feet.

I wondered if I had a severe allergic shock.

But that wasn’t it. The only explanation left was the fact that I had possessed a character in the book I had read and fallen asleep with.

Who would believe me? This illogical reality!

But I had to believe it. It’s impossible for all this to be a dream, the pain felt was too real.

As I woke up and repeatedly denied reality, I eventually came to accept it.

There was no time to be saddened by the longing for home and the dissonance from falling into somewhere unknown.

Because death has reached my neck.

“In all likelihood, why this body… Cough! Cough! Cough!”

In indignation, I forgot about my body that was like a piece of glass, and so the air pierced my dry throat as I raged with all my might.

Nausea and coughs occurred at the same time, my head was pounding like crazy.

The coughing did not stop until my pale face turned red.

After suffering from terrible coughs for a long time, my body had no strength.

“Cough, cough…!”

“Master!”

As I lay down on the bed like a corpse, the maids moved hastily and placed a wet cloth on my forehead.

“Master, please have a meal. You’re going to be in big trouble!”

‘That’s not the problem. It’s not like I don’t eat because I don’t want to eat.. ‘

I swallowed the rising tears and looked at the steaming, savory soup with bitter eyes.

I didn’t mean to protest.

It’s natural that this body is frail, but it’s not like I am going to starve to death.

Let’s get this straight. It’s not that I didn’t want to eat, rather I couldn’t eat.

I couldn’t swallow the food.

Why? Because the feeling of being able to die at any moment was so eerie.

It was a nightmare for me, like the earth is collapsing and the sea is gushing up. I can’t live with the thought that my life would soon be eaten.

“Master…….”

The maids urged Ninena, but she couldn’t give a proper answer because of her sore throat.

“Just one bite. I made sure to cook it carefully so that it doesn’t smell too much.”

As if feeling anxious and impatient, the old maid reassured Ninena, presumably to soothe her.

‘Ah… It’s really burdensome.’

I know she’s only worried, but my body hurts and my throat stings whenever I try to speak.

“Lady….”

Fortunately, the maids hadn’t realized that their master had changed.

They were always by her side, but most of the time, Ninena was lying like the dead as she is now.

Instead of saying anything, I only groaned, so no one would notice that I had entered Ninena’s body.

Why am I worried about such a trivial thing when my body is on the edge of death!

She was only trying to comfort me, no!

I don’t need comfort, so get me out of this body this instant!

“Ugh! Cough!”

“Ahh! Master!”

What a horrible body! I can’t even get mad in my own consciousness!

After holding back her anger for a long time, it finally subsided.

I had to eat something and save my stamina.

“Then just one bite…”

She took a deep breath and said dryly. Even though it was a voice that was forcibly squeezed out from her overworked vocal cords, it was heard.

The maid, who discreetly shed tears, gently brushed Ninena’s wet hair as if applauding her.

“That was good thinking.”

The maid spoon-fed the soup little by little with a spoon the size meant for a baby’s.

It was a thin soup that doesn’t require chewing. There was no flavor, but it tasted delicious.

It’s definitely good… I think I’m going to die. This is to die for!

“Uwaahhh!”

“Oh my god! Master!”

That day, I was tired of non-stop vomiting and fell asleep.
