I Unintentionally Cured the Grand Duke’s Insomnia - Chapter 66

33. — I Got Hit In the Back of My Head (2)

At his cautious yet firm words, Cain put down the spoon he was holding. He stared at Roan in bewilderment and gave an answer in a calm voice.

“Roan, I thought you’d know.”

“Your Highness.”

“It doesn’t matter to me that I read the book to the end.”

“….”

“If I had even one book of that book in my hands, I’d be free from this terrible insomnia.”

“….”

“Regardless of Adelia’s existence.”

At Cain’s exact words, he could not say anything. It was true that Adelia’s book could have saved him from the dreadful insomnia, and, as he said, he did not need her help.

…But, Roan liked Adelia.

Having not been able to fall asleep in any way for the past five years, a young lady suddenly gave his master a long night’s sleep with just one book.

When Cain stood up from his seat and strode towards the door, he could only bite his mouth.

It was because he was a member of Grand Duke Destro. Therefore, if his master did not want him to, he should not bring up stories about Adelia to disturb his mind.

Roan, who was bowing his head, heard the sound of Cain opening the door as if he was about to leave the dining room. Though for some reason, he could not hear the footsteps he thought he would hear right away. As he prudently raised his head, he found Cain standing in front of the door as if he was thinking about something.

Turning towards him, who was carefully looking at him, Cain smiled.

“So, don’t you think it’s not just for that reason that I’m trying to keep Adelia by my side, Roan?”

With a few words added, he eventually left the dining room.

Roan had strange expectations for his master’s words. To him who has protected this great house alone, and to him who has isolated himself in guilt… He had a very small anticipation that he may finally have a mistress to protect this mansion with him.

“Lady, didn’t you say you were going to a waffle publishing house?”

“Oh, I need to buy a book before that.”

“A book…?”

“There was a book I read by chance, but I’m so curious about the second book that I can’t stand it. So first, I’ll go to the bookstore and ask if they sell it, and if it hasn’t been published yet, I’ll see when it would be published.”

“….”

“Oh. Lily, stay here for a second. I’ll be right back.”

“Yes? Wait a minute, Lady…!”

Without hearing Lily’s answer, I quickly ran towards the bookstore in front of me. Even as I was busy walking, my curiosity hoisted up about the context I had been imagining all night. No, how could the writer humanely end it there…?

…If you had cut it, the second volume would have been published, right?

With a fluttering heart, I coughed in vain in front of a place called the biggest bookstore in Aren. The bookstore owner, who was organizing books inside, ran out with a bright smile.

“How long has it been, Young Lady!”

“It’s been a while, Note. How’ve you been doing?”

“Oh, I haven’t been doing well. The heavy readers of our bookstore didn’t come to visit at all. I thought if she comes, I’d already forgotten her face.”

I let out a shallow laugh at the Note’s quips and leaned down carefully. At the secret signal that we had decided between us, Note quickly bowed after me.

“Are there any new releases?”

“There’s a new writer who’s famous for his name ‘Milcell,’ and there’s a new work by that writer.”

“Maybe, the stable?”

“As expected, I thought the Young Lady would know.”

With a twinkle in his eyes, Note gave a meaningful smile as I asked, and nodded his head. I swallowed a gulp before spreading out two of my fingers.

“Do you have book two?”

“Ah, volume two is still not available.”

“What? Why…!”

“Isn’t there a feast to commemorate the return of the Saint who will return to Aren soon? In the case of Milcell, I don’t know the details of the situation because the writer is so veiled, although I’m guessing that they’re delaying the publication because of the event.”

I was disappointed by the words of Note, who calmly conveyed the situation.

As a writer, I could understand the writer’s feelings that the date needed to be adjusted for sales. However, as a reader, it was a pity. Oh, I really wanted to see the scene where Hughes and Elena were doing it in the stables—!

Seeing my young disappointment, I could feel Note looking at me as if it were a pity for me. I raised the corners of my lips, which kept drooping and greeted him.

“Well then, there’s nothing I can do. If Millcell happens to publish the book later, please contact me!”

“Oh, my. I’ll do that.”

Feeling a little relieved at the confirmation of Note, I laughed a little and was about to leave without hesitation.

“All right. Then, I’m going to…”

“Oh, that’s right. Young Lady!”

As I was about to move, I turned my head to the call. Feeling puzzled at him beckoning me to come for a while, I carefully leaned forward.

“Is the Young Lady ‘Million’?”

My heart dropped with a thud.
