Chapter 109

“Is it still uncomfortable for you to see, sir?”

“No.”

He affirmed as so. His sight didn’t revert to as before, but it was still a big improvement compared to when he couldn’t see anything at all.

As he saw the physician’s face was reeled close in front of his eyes, he quickly turned his head.

“Where?”

“Whom might you be talking about?”

“Her.”

There was only one person who was meant as ‘her’ by Knox. The physician expressed an odd look before he shrugged off his shoulders.

“It has only been us ever since the treatment.”

Knox immediately furrowed his brows at the physician’s response. He then turned his head to the butler who was already awaiting by his side.

“Butler. Did you not send the message which I’ve ordered you to?”

“Not by any means, sir. I sent it in swiftly right at the exact moment when you said it, Master.”

“If that’s so, why isn’t she here?”

“That is……”

The butler unveiled a troubled expression in response. It was already a long time since the Young Countess hadn’t been visiting the Grand Duchy.

He was vaguely aware of its meaning, but since he was merely a butler, it became hard for him to utter the truth.

“What time is it now?”

“2 o’clock in the afternoon……”

“Then, I must prepare myself to leave soon.”

“Your Highness, your eyes are still not fully recovered.”

The one who stopped Knox by standing abruptly from his seat was none other than the physician himself.

“And where do you plan to go in such a haste?”

Knox’s body immediately stopped as if it was disrupted at the physician’s question.

Asking me where I’m planning to go? His destination could only be one. However, it wasn’t easy for him to utter the answer right out of his own mouth.

“Why are you asking me that?”

“As your doctor, I wouldn’t wish for you to get in trouble, so I wouldn’t want you to go anywhere too far, sir.”

“Forget it. I’m the one who knows my body best.”

The physician tapped his fingers on the chair’s armrest at Knox’s cold words.

“Wouldn’t they get flustered if you appeared all of a sudden over there?”

“I’ve already sent them a message and what’s more rude than them not showing up here that you’d say so?”

The anger in his voice was directed straight to the physician. Knox, who belatedly realized that he had already vented his anger on an innocent person, straight away tousled his hair.

“As expected, you’re just trying to go to the Young Lady.”

“If you know that, just let me be then.”

He said so as he raised himself abruptly from his seat. This time, there was no one else who stopped him then.

The butler straight away aided him for the outing instead of stopping him while he quickly prepared the carriage at the same time. His Master had always been someone who preferred to ride a horse while traveling, but this was a consideration towards him, who had just obtained his sight once again.

Knox didn’t refuse the carriage at all. Since his first priority was to reach the County as quickly as possible, he was already fine with everything as long as he could be there soon.

The carriage that was carrying Knox was constantly urged by him and it eventually achieved its splendid record to arrive at the County even faster than ever. Unlike the coachman and the horse itself that had accomplished the mission, Knox’s expression still looked a little wild.

He didn’t even spare a glance at the servants who were absolutely flustered after seeing him descend the carriage and quickly stormed inside. Perhaps the news that he arrived had already spread as the Count appeared hastily at that instant.

“Ho-how long has it already been! How have you been all this time, sir?”

“I’m fine.”

Knox answered absentmindedly before taking a quick look around.

“What about her?”

“Hu-huh? Who might you be talking about, sir?”

“I’m talking about the Young Lady, Alexia.”

“Aahh……”

The Count was immensely fretting about before he discreetly gestured to his butler. His butler then nodded before he headed upstairs in a hurry.

“My daughter is still not feeling any better. For that reason, she is still dressed in her pajamas and therefore, she’ll be a tad bit late.”

“That’s fine.”

Compared to the time he had waited for her all the while by only laying down in bed, this short moment was absolutely nothing. Nevertheless, the Count began to sweat profusely at Knox’s firm response.

“Are your eyes all better nowadays?”

“Yes. I can see clearly now.”

“That is definitely something to celebrate! How about this? We could launch a little party here—at my house……”

“No, it’s fine.”

Count Britton could only let out an awkward laugh at Knox’s answer that just cut through him. Knox, on the other hand, was just looking at the tea that had been served in front of him quietly before moving his gaze upstairs.
