In the morning, he brought me a warm meal and even soaked a towel to place on my forehead.
—It’s just cold medicine. Take it after you eat.
—Where did you find this?
—I didn’t find it. I’ve been carrying some medicine with me since before coming into the mansion.
Now, Dietrich was quietly peeling an apple next to me.
“…How could I leave when you’re sick?”
But.
Why do you care about me?
I had taken care of Dietrich before, but my intentions had been clear then.
All I wanted was to keep him alive and get him out of this mansion quickly.
But it should be different in his case.
“Why are you being nice to me?”
“…Is it wrong to be nice to you?”
“I don’t trust kindness without ulterior motives.”
“So you must have had some ulterior motive with me.”
“…I can’t say I didn’t. But I guess I don’t find you so annoying anymore.”
A faint smile tugged on the corners of his lips.
“Right. Not annoying anymore.”
At that moment, I felt very strange.
“So you’re being nice to me. But Dietrich, it seems you didn’t think things through.”
I spoke with a mocking tone.
“If I suddenly decided that I needed a servant to stave off boredom and chose not to let you go, what would you do?”
I had thought about wanting to get along with Dietrich before.
But that never meant I wanted to get closer to him.
I just wanted him to let his guard down a little.
“You wouldn’t do that, so why even say it?”
“I’m quite a fickle woman.”
It was meant as a warning, but Dietrich just smiled.
He continued peeling the apple. Why was he so relaxed?
“…Even if I say I’ll break something precious to you?”
“Will you break it?”
“Yes. I might.”
At my brazen words, Dietrich chuckled softly and offered me a plate of perfectly sliced apple pieces.
“Then you’d better eat well. In your current state, what could you possibly break?”
“…Just wait and see.”
“Yes.”
Seeing him smile, oblivious to what lay ahead, made me uneasy.
Soon, ‘that event’ would happen.
Creak.
“Haahm.”
At that moment, Noah approached, yawning and stretching as if he had just woken up.
With a tired look, he reached me and immediately snuggled into my arms, dozing off again.
“Noah?”
“……”
“Are you asleep?”
He really fell asleep.
Dietrich suddenly seemed to realize something, his expression growing serious.
“Charlotte, how long has Noah been asleep?”
“He just woke up after two days.”
“I see.”
Dietrich nodded as if he had come to a conclusion.
“I think this is Noah’s curse.”
“What do you mean?”
“Noah gave you a hint on the second floor and then fell asleep immediately, right? I believe he has to take responsibility for what he says.”
“……”
“The more his words are tied to the curse, the deeper he falls asleep.”
The more I listened to Dietrich, the more questions I had.
What does Noah know to be under such a curse?
“But Charlotte, I’ll take Noah with me now.”
“Why? He’s warm.”
I hugged Noah tighter.
“What if he catches your cold?”
“……”
Reluctantly, I handed Noah over to Dietrich.
And that night.
The event I had been dreading finally happened.
In the middle of the night,
I was awakened by a cold presence after taking the medicine Dietrich gave me.
When I opened my eyes, it wasn’t Dietrich standing there, but someone else.

Though Charlotte was asleep, Dietrich’s care for her hadn’t ended.
He needed to check if she had any other symptoms.
He was especially concerned, likely due to what had happened the previous night.
So, he headed back to Charlotte’s room to ensure she was sleeping safely.
However.
“……”
Charlotte was gone.
“Where in the world could she have gone in her condition?”
As he turned to leave the room to search for her.
“AAAHHHH!”
A scream pierced the silence, and Dietrich instantly knew something was wrong.
And there…
Charlotte was holding a fruit knife, surrounded by ‘familiar faces’.
Upon seeing those faces, Dietrich froze.
“What? Dietrich? Why are you here…?”
The ‘familiar faces’ looked just as bewildered.
