Chapter 33.2
The next time I woke up, I was again on a bed in a room that also served as an infirmary.
It had been about three days since then, and all my injuries had healed without a trace, but Viro, who came to visit me again with meat, told me that my internal organs had been damaged and that I should rest for a while.
He shouldn’t have brought meat to a kid with damaged internal organs… even though that’s what I thought, I still ate what was brought.
Sera praised me but also reprimanded for what I did. The Female Thief was a well-known “kidnapper” in this area, specializing in kidnapping aristocrats using magic. It seemed that it was the right thing to do.
I was still an apprentice, and the senior butler, who had failed to notice the underground presence, was taking responsibility, and I would receive a reward.
In a sense, it was a matter of force majeure, since Elena was unable to have a high-ranking scout escort by her side this time because of her own selfishness, but it was not a matter of that kind.
Sera’s associates had been surrounding her since the moment she was kidnapped, and they had already planned to get her back, although it would have taken some time.
Therefore, Viro secretly told me that I would receive a reward not because I risked my life to get Elena back, but because I brought the situation to an end before it escalated and avoided the problem of the responsibility of the Dandol frontier count, who was responsible for the frontier security.
Sera, however, appreciated the fact that I minimized the burden on Elena’s frail body. Theo, however, was not very happy about it and scolded me in tears and snot for being reckless and getting seriously injured.
I was still alive and Elena seemed to have removed the scar, so I should have no problem being an Escort Maid, right?
I hadn’t seen Elena since that day.
Even though she was a guest, Elena was the princess of this country, and I was only an apprentice maid from a lowly background, so there was no reason for her to care about me or for me to meet Elena.
