The Fate of Narendra Women
20. Buried Memory [REVISED]

Kamila was grateful after that to be able to sleep alone in her room. He had no time to comment on the view of the different rooms of his room in the castle.

Late in bed, trying to remove the drunken remains when Ribia came.

"Drink this." The girl held out a medicine and a glass of water. "It's a low-dose sleeping drug. I know you have a hard time sleeping when you're sick, so I asked my sister's wife to give it to me."

Chemical drugs are not healthy drugs, but Kamila is a little grateful to be able to take drugs so that they can quickly sleep.

After drinking it, Kamila lay down. Still breathing intermittently.

"In retrospect," said Ribia, who accompanied him, "you've been sick for the last few years, haven't you? I mean, it used to seem like it wasn't."

Kamila tried to open her eyes.

Also true. In the past, even though he was weak, he was not always lying in a bed like this.

"May I ask you something, Kamila?"

"Of course, Miss."

"Is there a man you love?"

Ribia's eyes looked at Kamila as she asked.

Agav told him to test Kamila. After Ribia thought about it, there was indeed an oddity between Iaros and Kamila. Although he still did not want to be prejudiced, Ribia had to admit there was a possibility for it.

Kamila so this way, was it not after Iaros moved to the Rose Castle?

At that time Ribia was busy doing her compulsory education, so she did not have time to pay attention to the relationship of Iaros and Kamila.

While Kamila who was asked such a question immediately closed her eyes. Her mouth would answer yes, but afraid that if Ribia asked who, Kamila could not answer.

In the end he shook his head. "I choose not to do it, Miss."

Ribia. "In hindsight, why was your escort withdrawn?"

What'd he say? "Escort? Me?"

"I mean, your bodyguard back then. Hey, I remember, shouldn't you be the—" you who got married is what Ribia said.

The girl so remembered there was a talk that the one who would marry and have children was Kamila, but suddenly became Lily. They do not think too much of something because it was Lily who had to get married from the beginning because she was the older and mature.

Unfortunately Ribia could not say that because the door was knocked.

Tock-tock.

"Miss, there's a call for you," Agav said from out there.

All of a sudden? Ribia rushes aside, coming out thinking there is a problem until she is called, but it turns out that Agav is lying.

The man smiled as he placed his index finger in front of his lips. "Miss is always straightforward. Please pay more attention to something in the future."

Ribia shriveled not understanding. What the hell does that mean? Wouldn't you ask more clearly if you wanted to know something?

"Miss's instincts are blunt from getting used to this family situation." Agav pulled him away. "Although Miss feels she's living in the darkest corner of the Narendra family, there could still be a darker corner and she doesn't recognize. That's why let's stop this first."

Kamila felt like she was going to sleep when her head thought about Ribia's words.

A bodyguard? Himself? Why did he ask as if Kamila had a bodyguard as well? If she had a bodyguard, it might be easier for Kamila to forget about Iaros. But he had no bodyguards, because the one who got married was Lily.

Kamila's eyes were drowsy when she vaguely remembered something.

Something dark and long buried in his memory.

"I feel lucky to serve Miss."

Whose voice is in his head?

"Miss is innocent if it rejects Young Master Iaros' feelings. It's fine if Miss feels uncomfortable. I'll be with Miss, whenever Miss needs."

Warm.

But painful.

Kamila is getting more and more dissolved in the influence of sleeping pills. Nightmares about the day someone was killed and Kamila feels that person was killed because of her.

"Can I love Miss?"

"What good is loved by me?"

"Hm? Of course, tenderness and sweet smile Miss."

Who ... is it?
