Book 12: Chapter 49
When Freya saw me the next morning, she smiled and asked, “Good morning, Onii-sama. You do not look too well. Did you not sleep well last night?”
I responded with a helpless smile: “Do I look so bad that you can tell with a single glance?”
Smiling, Freya replied, “Yes. You must have done it with Miss Nier until very late, right? I may not be able to hear it, but I am absolutely certain that is what happened. Add Daisy to that equation, and not only did you not sleep well but were also busy all night, right? Onii-sama, to be honest, your fatigue from not sleeping did not show so obviously in the past. Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. At least, not now.”
I checked my body. Freya said I looked bad, but I didn’t feel any discomfort – aside from the fatigue and sleepiness you’d experience after an all-nighter. I felt a lot better after having the tea that wakes you up in the morning. I felt decent; I was still young, after all. My life had just started.
Freya walked up to me and pinched my face. In a slightly concerned tone, she said, “Whatever the case may be, I feel that you look very unwell, which is a complete contrast to the past. Onii-sama, you must look after your health. Do not exhaust yourself if you are feeling unwell. Though I feel that it is a miracle you are this tired when you have not worked earnestly at all recently. Wait. That is not the point. The point is, from now on, you must pay attention to your health, and you best go see Queen Vyvyan for a check-up.
You are not a pure human, or the doctors in the Imperial Palace would be able to give you a check-up. Therefore, it is best you ask Queen Vyvyan to give you a check-up before she leaves. After all, while you cannot use mana, you do require mana to maintain your body.”
“I know my body better than you, Freya.”
Tone serious, Freya stated, “Not necessarily, Onii-sama. If everybody could regulate their body, there would be no need for the doctor occupation. Onii-sama, sometimes, you do not know your body, so you best hurry and get Queen Vyvyan to give you a check-up as soon as possible. If you do not go to see her today, I shall go see her and tell her that you are unwell yet refused to see her. Do you think you can escape from her?”
