"Sorry, sir. Because yesterday you were so aware of the night, I forgot to convey that Mr. Marquess Barnett sent you a message" Gray said. He just remembered what he was supposed to say.
"Mr Marquess Barnett apologized for not being able to say goodbye directly to Duke Karl. He had an urgent matter that required him to leave immediately…"
"…She also said that next time, she would like to invite you to visit her residence as her apology" Gray explained, conveying what she should have said.
"She said that?" Karl looked towards her.
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, I know however he must also have his own busyness that he can not leave. I get it." Karl grabbed his glass, sipped the contents of the drink slowly.
"Because of fainting for too long, I made the Marquess wait for a long time. I'm not feeling well" Karl murmured softly.
Wait for. After I thought about it again, what made me faint?
Why was it that yesterday I was suddenly in pain until I finally became unconscious?
Karl frowned. He was trying to remember what happened yesterday. But after he was unconscious, he remembered nothing but his dream.
"Gray, what happened during my fainting yesterday?" ask Karl.
Gray's stunned. Karl's words really surprised him.
Why did he ask like that? Did he know that the young master had escaped and approached his room?
What am I supposed to say?
But how could the great master know that the young master is coming? He was unconscious when the young master visited.
Gray was silent for a moment. His face turned pale, but as much as possible he hid the shock mixed with panic.
"Nothing happened, sir. Everything is going normally" said Gray, who tried to calm down.
"He waited for you to wake up for a moment. He even asked me to call a doctor."
"What's? Doctor?"
"Really, sir. Mr. Marquess Barnett asked me to call a doctor to check on you, because you were really worried. He said your heart rate is weakening."
Karl was silent at his words.
My heart rate is weakening? Does this have anything to do with?
Karl silently looked at his palms. His memory was suddenly dragged to imagine the events of several years ago. Events that until now made a major change in his life.
"Then, what did the doctor say?"
"The doctor says that your condition is fine, and the fainting you are experiencing may be due to too much fatigue or something else like trauma. That's what the doctor said."
"Trauma? How can the doctor conclude this?"
"He said that if you have a trauma then it is certain that something triggers the trauma of the master back."
Karl again fell silent digesting every sentence that had just come out of Gray's mouth.
The trauma?
Before I fainted, the last time I remember was when me and Marquess Barnett's master passed by Ingrid and the new maid.
No, not a maid. The butler said that she was the new nanny to replace Zelda for a while.
After that, I was unconscious.
I don't know why, but when I saw the nanny, I remembered her.
