\text("Caym")
I'm coming in.
\endtext

\text
Without even knocking, Caym stepped into the room.

\endtext

\text
This was the room Glace was using to recover, and Tiela
would regularly visit to treat Glace with magic.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
You could at least knock, you know. Glace-san is a woman,
and she's sick on top of that.

\endtext

\text
Following after Caym, Risbell entered the room.

\endtext

\text
She gave a small bow to Glace, who was lying in bed.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I'm sorry, Glace-san. Did we wake you?

\endtext

\text("Glace")
No, I was just being examined by Tiela a moment ago. I heard
your footsteps, so don't worry about it.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hm? What is Tiela coming here for?

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Like I said... sigh, she's here to treat her.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
Apparently, my vessel for magic is damaged right now.

\endtext

\text
Picking up where Risbell left off, Glace continued the
explanation.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
It seems it's because Winga-sama's massive magic power was
forcibly crammed into me.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Tiela is helping to heal that vessel for me.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
I see, they do say illness starts in the mind.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I feel like that's not quite right, but whatever.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Anyway, how are you feeling? I brought you a change of
clothes and... it's simple, but I made you some food.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
Thank you. Thanks to Tiela, I'm feeling much better. But it
seems it'll still take a while to fully recover.

\endtext

\text
Compared to when she was first brought to the labyrinth,
Glace's complexion looked much better as she spoke.

\endtext

\text
However, she still couldn't get up on her own, so Risbell
was coming by regularly to take care of her.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
You must be busy too, yet you go out of your way for me.
Thank you.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Oh, it's nothing... I haven't done anything worth thanking
me for.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
For now, please don't worry about that and just focus on
getting better.
\endtext

\text
Watching Risbell fuss over Glace so attentively, Caym looked
around the room, perhaps feeling a bit out of place.

\endtext

\text
Even so, Glace spoke to Caym as well.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Thank you too, Caym. Did you come because you were worried
about me?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah, Risbell said she was coming to visit you, so I tagged
along. Is there anything you need?

\endtext

\text("Glace")
No, I'm being well taken care of like this. I couldn't ask
for more.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I see.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I've heard everything from Gunter.
\endtext

\text
Glace lets out a relieved sigh.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
My country... no, it's your country now. I've heard you've
been treating the people very well.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I'm deeply grateful. It's something I could never have done,
not with my lack of power.

\endtext

\text
With those words, Glace bowed deeply.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
It's only natural for a king to care for his own people.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
Natural... Yes, it is only natural. But sometimes, what's
natural can be incredibly difficult. Without power, it's
impossible.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
That's why I'm truly grateful to you. Thank you for saving
me... and Kiros.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Please don't take everything this man says at face value.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
Hm?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Caym-sama only ever thinks about women. If you believe him,
you'll just end up looking foolish.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
What are you saying? I'm always concerned about the future
of Nilt.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
You mean the women living in Nilt, right? Well, I still have
work to do, so if you'll excuse me.

\endtext

\text
Risbell gave a polite bow and turned on her heel.
\endtext

\text
Then she shot a sidelong glance at Caym.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Caym-sama, there's a war council after this. Don't even
think about running away.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I know. I'll come again, Glace.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
―Caym.
\endtext

\text
As Caym was about to leave the room with Risbell, Glace
called out to his back.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hm? What's up?
\endtext

\text
Glace stared at the turned Caym for a moment, remaining
silent.
\endtext

\text
She seemed to be searching for the right words, her gaze
wandering.
\endtext

\text
At last, having found them, Glace looked up at Caym and
spoke.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
As promised, I... belong to you now. If there's anything I
can do, just say the word.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Heh... That's a good attitude. But you don't need to worry
about that right now.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Just focus on getting better, and dream of the day I take
you in my arms.
\endtext

\text
With that, Caym left the room.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
What a terrible parting shot. You can just ignore things
like that from now on, Glace-san.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Otherwise, you'll end up with a hole in your stomach next
time.
\endtext

\text
With a sigh, Risbell followed after Caym and left the room.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
The day I'll be held... huh. He really is a strange man.

\endtext

\text
Left alone, Glace murmured quietly to herself.

\endtext
