Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 48 Past (3) Meet you again

"Egh..."

CIIP... CIIP... CIIP...

A bird whistling in the morning woke Merlin from his sleep. His eyes felt thick. His whole body was in pain. He also sees around him.

"I'm in the room...?" Merlin Mumbled.

He tried to remember what he was doing until his body was sickened. Suddenly Austin's sad face was visible in his mind.

He was shocked when he remembered the incident last night. He also saw his clothes that were still on his body but a little seedy and there was a red mark on his shoulders.

Her tears immediately spilled. He was crying in silence. At first he thought it was just a sleeping flower, but it was obvious when he saw how it was now.

It has been three days he was allowed on the grounds of not feeling well. Today he continued his work as usual. On that day he did not meet Austin. There are many things he wants to ask.

Time off he intends to visit Ken at his usual place. Armed with food for both of them, he left.

"Ah... Yes ken? He stopped working because of his sickly mother" said one of the workers there.

Merlin was surprised not to play. How not, Ken didn't tell her about this and there was no goodbye to Merlin. He also locked himself in the room.

The next day he met Austin in his study. They're just the two of them there. Boldly Merlin asked what he had been waiting for.

"Eum... Your Grace... Somebody wants to say..." Merlin. Austin heard it silently. It's like he'll know what Merlin wants to ask.

"A-What... That night.. You and me..." Merlin was nervous about the question. He couldn't say it further.

"Sleep together? Yep! You kept me company all night" said Austin, cutting off Merlin's conversation.

Merlin was in disbelief. His feelings are not out of whack.

"Now you are under me! And you have to obey what I want. Even now..." Austin approached Merlin while stroking his smooth face. Merlin slightly moved away, his body starting to stiffen. He was scared in the room now.

"... You can accompany me again... Oh Merlin I won't let your beautiful face be in someone else's possession" Austin said. Merlin instantly dodged and kept his distance to her.

"Enormally enough! What you're doing is wrong! How can you do this to me who is only 15 years old! And you..." Immediately Merlin fell silent on his last words.

"Why? And I what? I'm old! You wanna say that?" Austin grimly held Merlin's hand tightly. Merlin's face was in pain.

Oh no! It's so sorry Merlin... This was not all his will. Inner Mira who was still paying attention to Merlin's past.

The mood changed again. Merlin escapes from the palace. He ran as far away from the kingdom as possible.

Far enough he ran. He started to feel strange in his body. His head began to feel heavy. His sight began to blur. Merlin fell on the ground.

Someone saved him and took him to a small house. Merlin woke up and was surprised to see the old mother with her pale face.

"Son, drink this warm water" said the mother.

"Ah.. Yes Thank you" Merlin drank the water.

"It looks like your content has been running for almost a month huh..." Mother said suddenly.

"Ekhk! W-What!?" Merlin was surprised to hear that coming out of the old mother's mouth.

"You just found out what it looks like? Did anyone do that to you, son?"

Merlin simply fell silent not daring to say that. People will not believe it if their highness loves it.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Introduce my name Risha" said Risha.

"Ah.. I'm Merlin. Thank you for helping me. My condition has improved somewhat I'll-Ekh!" Merlin was about to get up from his place but his body was still too weak.

"Can't, you must also have a family, I don't want to burden you" Merlin said.

"It's okay, son, I just stay with my boy, he'll come home after hunting"

Shortly after, Risha's son returns home.

"I'm home mom! Huft... Today we're going to eat Ena-Loh Merlin?" Said the Man.

Merlin looked towards the voice and was surprised as much as the man.

"To-ken?"

"You know each other apparently?" Risha.

"How did you get here? Ah no, were you fired there?" Said Ken.

Merlin just shook his head. Because he believed in Ken he told him what had happened. Risha heard it carefully.

"What's? The king did this to you?"

"But people will definitely not believe it" Merlin said.

"Based on the fucking king! He fired me from there. It's the reason my mom is so sick that I have to take care of my mom" Ken said.

"The two of you should be careful going forward, we don't know what else the king will do to you" Risha said.

After that, Merlin became a member of the Ken family from now on. They began to move house and find a safe and peaceful place for them.

"Mother, where's Merlin?" Ken asked Risha who was preparing dinner.

"Eum.. She was helping mom, and then she came out and said she wanted to see the stars before dinner" Risha said.

"Good ma'am" Ken walked out of the house. He looked up at the sky. At that time the sky was very beautiful because it was sprinkled with stars. In front of him, Merlin was sitting on the grass. He also approached her.

"What meda?" Ken asked as he sat beside her.

"Ah... The sky is beautiful today. Take look! Right" said Merlin smiling.

Ken felt cool when he saw the peaceful smile from Merlin. Now the age of the road 9 months. Ken stroked Merlin's stomach.

"Darguably, you haven't been able to see yes... After you get out of there, we'll see these stars together" Ken said. Merlin is so happy that he loves Ken and Ken loves him and his baby. Although not Ken's flesh and blood.

"Gee... There's a shooting star!" Peek Merlin. He immediately closed his eyes. Ken who saw that laughed and closed his eyes.

"What are you asking for?" Said Ken.

"Eum... A secret! Haha.. For sure I am very grateful to you Ken and also to you mother" said Merlin.

"I also thank you for coming back with me" Ken said. He started to approach his body at Merlin. Their lips are stuck together. Merlin could feel Ken's warm breath.

"I love you, Merlin!"

"I love you too Ken"
