Chapter 49: I'm not a Princess! 1
A rumor is quietly spreading in the corner of the country of Tenmark. The rumor is spread by merchants and travelers who move from place to place. The incredulous rumor makes the folks and aristocrats feels curious about the credibility of the rumor. They are desperately hoping to get to the bottom of the truth.
The merchants were travelling with their families while doing business. In the middle of their journey, they happened to pass by the Vankriff territory. One of their sons got sick and they rushed him to the treatment center in the territory. Then they came across some medicine that they had never seen before.
“Let’s keep your child here for 3 days. Hm? He will definitely get well soon, okay.”
The doctor said that when he felt the parent’s doubt. The doctor who took care of the child had a very carefree attitude. His attitude increased the parents’ anxiety and they pleaded to stay with their child.
“I can’t allow it because you might catch his illness too. But you can visit him everyday.”
The doctor’s objection was justified. While the parents started to feel that their worries were groundless, at that exact time, an important person happened to visit the place. Then the doctor finished the examination in a haste.
“There will be other people coming in, so your son will be staying over here. “
The parents were astonished when they saw the doctor left the child behind, and they began to worry to leave their child at the doctor’s care. While stroking their child head in worry, the parents exchanged looks at each other. Then they discussed if it was better for them to go to another place.
“Maybe we should go to another place…”
The two of them uneasily looked around at the room. As they paid more attention to the room, they felt something is out of place. The room was really bright and very clean. No other medical facilities that they had been to were as clean as this place.
“But… this room is very clean, don’t you think?”
“Is there any other patient here?”
When they peeked over the partition that divide the room, they find another patient was lying on the bed. The patient was a man, and his face was blushing red like their son. Perhaps he also had a fever but he slept peacefully.
The parents walked without making any noise and looked around. After stealthily looking around, they noticed that there were a lot of patients other than their son.
“………there are so many patients, aren’t there……” fre ewebnovel.com
“Ye,yes……It seems so.”
There were a lot of beds in the big room. Approximately about 10 patients were residing in the room. There were curtains that divided the space between the patients. You wouldn’t know if there was a patient laying on the bed unless you peeked over the curtain.
After their first assessment, this time they checked around again with the eyes of merchants. The building was newly built and the indoor were very nice. There were plenty of windows with thin cloth of curtains that soften the light into the room. And ultimately, the room was very well maintained with white clean bedding sheets.
On top of the desks, there was a vase of lavender and you could also smell other flowers fragrance inside the room. Compare to the medical center that they had been to, this one was completely different. Others medical center were dimly lighted and had foul stenches of medicines. They also had incenses smells added into it because the healers often prayed to the spirit.
“My dear……Somehow this medical center is really an amazing place.”

When you looked at the bed sheets closely, there was no any stain on it. It was purely white clean like brand new sheets. The doctor’s desk was simply decorated with quill pen, bottle of ink and other small stuff. Although the items looked modest, they realized that those items were expensive. They could tell that those items were high in quality.
“………We might be ripped off by the bill.”
“Eh?! What did you say!?”
What the Father had said was too shocking for the Mother. She completely forgot the other patients that sleep in the room and raised her voice unconsciously. At the exact moment, suddenly someone was knocking at the door. Someone had come into the room to check because of the Mother’s voice.
“………What happened?”
There were two good looking noblemen and a pretty little girl coming into the room. The little girl was peeking from behind one of the men.
“………Are you the parents of the patient?”
The little girl had beautiful purple eyes. When you stared at it from different angles, it gave up illusion of sparkles and changing color. The two parents who were staring at those gems looking eyes finally regained their sense after a while. The two noblemen who came with the girl also shared some similar features and they seemed to be a family. One of the men had stern features and the other man had the same hair and eyes color with the little girl. The face of the young man was really good looking. Perhaps the young man and the little girl were siblings?
“Yes……Our son got a fever. I’m sorry for the commotion. “
“I’m sorry.”
