Asha wept bitterly and clasped the hand of the male figure who was now lying down for sacrifice for him, the doctor who came had said that his life was almost not saved, he said, but the determination in his heart that was so strong made the man still alive even though he was currently unable to open his eyes from his sleep that somehow he could just wake up again.
As most people say, regret always comes at the end and losing someone will always be the biggest regret in life, because there is only one person in the life of each person who is the same there will be no more replacements, if there is a replacement there will certainly be something different from the person who makes us feel lost.
The girl had been sitting for days and sleeping in a place close to the figure of the man lying on his bed, from waking up to his family's work to sleeping he was always near the man, because he wanted to make up for the time he had lost or he wasted from the figure of the person in front of him. Everyone there was moved by her master's struggle which was not always in vain, because right now the female figure she wanted to fight for was beside her even though life had to be at stake.
”Miss Edelstein, we brought you lunch" said a waiter who delivered the meal
"Thank you for caring about me, and I'm the one who's making it hard for you all right now,"
"Since Ehan doesn't wake up, you might be able to lose your only heir to the Duke's family" Asha said bitterly and head bowed
"If he dies, you will inherit Asha" said a middle-aged man who walked up to him from behind, surprising Asha
"Lord Duke Aelfraed, I salute you, ", Asha said, saluting the old man in front of her
"No need to be so polite to yourself I have considered my own child since childhood and saw the behavior of this child since childhood who desperately wanted an engagement with you he was even reckless to take the family stamp to propose an engagement, even if rejected by you,"
"But then he didn't expect to be your fiance on paper,"
"He used to smile at the letter that came to him and I'm sure you know that, don't you? Because he was a pretty stupid kid actually in hiding something," said the middle-aged man who sat by his son's bedside and looked at his still-unawakened son
"I know and I'm so grateful to him for always being there for me,"
"Without me realizing I loved him too, but I was also afraid to tell him that if I loved him so much he would leave me, I didn't want that to happen," asha said with a bitter laugh while recalling all the memories she had while being with the man in front of her
"Just calm down, he's a stubborn man, sure enough, sooner or later he'll wake up," said the middle-aged man while stroking Asha's head then left Asha and Ehan who were still lying because there was still work to be done by the man
On the other hand in the kingdom there is a man with glasses who is thinking hard or rather is daydreaming without touching the pile of paper on the table, of course this causes his subordinates to feel very depressed to have a superior like this.
"Your majesty, if you keep thinking about that woman,"
"Then our work will not be finished" said the man, who was not far from himself
His subordinate who saw the behavior of his superior who was like a fan who had lost his mind could only sigh a long sigh of resignation, and a flat gaze.
"Alright, then shouldn't we work back your majesty,"
"Don't give a burden to his family, if you really love him,"
"And also I'm not really sure that he'll have feelings for you in this life either" said his subordinate with a tired look towards his superior
"Leave it if it can't get his heart, I've said it's not that I'm going to get that feeling of love then it doesn't matter,"
"I mean to live up to the covenant with the demon lord if he can truly be happy" said the man with a bitter smile
A few days later, Asha was required to report what had happened to the kingdom for trial evidence, she certainly could not leave Ehan alone in the mansion much less she had not been conscious from her sleep.
"Can't it be if the trial is conducted remotely or if it can be in this room at the trial?" said Asha with a sharp look towards the messenger
"Miss Edelstein, please give us the ease of doing our work, because we need a lot of evidence to give a severe punishment to the perpetrators of the crime," said the messenger with a clear look towards Asha who was doing her job
Without much talking Asha wrote a letter and gave to the letter's introduction, a letter containing a reply letter for the withdrawal of activities related to the trial and collecting all the evidence.
His current position is to want to take care of the person he loves until the man opens his eyes and accompanies him for the rest of his life. But until months later the man had not opened his eyes, Asha could only wait and wait until her own father came to the mansion to ask her to come to the trial. Inevitably disliked he left for the trial with a deposit to the servants to always keep an eye on Ehan the moment he woke up, Asha had a lot of thoughts after that but began to rarely dream about her past which was so sad even tragic to say. In front of the residence of the Aelfraed family before Asha left for the royal palace.
"Once again I remind you to take good care of him until I return to the mansion,"
"I'll be back in two hours" Asha said with a worried look that then at the touch of Asha's shoulder suddenly made her stare at the male figure behind her
"Miss if you worry like this, we won't be able to get to the kingdom, follow the trial and return to the mansion quickly,"
"Alright, then we'll leave soon,"
