36 – Drug Lady (7)

“lol… ”

“hahahaha. Fortunately, good times… No, I think it was good treatment.”

“… “You said you would come running when I called you, so why didn’t you come?”

“sorry. I had to go to the bathroom for a moment. But nothing much happened, right?”

In the end, the therapist didn’t show up until a while later, and until then, I had to be trampled by Syria.

Still, Syria didn’t want to leave me easily, and I had just recently dropped her and started counseling.

“How did you feel, my lady?”

“huh… It was good. Just like when I was weak… ”

If there was anything worth bearing, it was that the situation in Syria had improved significantly.

It wasn’t just that she was satisfied, it actually seemed like her mind had become clearer.

He had become considerably docile considering he had not taken medication for three days, and his eyes became clearer.

I don’t know what the effect is, but it seems like his cognitive abilities have returned.

“great. Now, let’s decide on the next reward. The next period is one week from today. How is it.”

It’s a week. If you add up the total period, you will have to endure the medicine for 10 days.

It was not a path that seemed likely to be successful in one go.

“one week… too long… “

“Instead, this time I will prescribe this medicine. “If you take it twice a day, in the morning and evening, your withdrawal symptoms will be slightly better.”

The therapist seemed to have prepared it in advance and prescribed a week’s worth of medication for Syria.

Now he looked a bit more like a doctor.

“okay. “I’ll try.”

“very good. Then, let’s set the next reward.”

It may be an illusion that the therapist seems strangely excited about setting a reward.

I’m confused as to whether he’s trying to treat me or just make fun of me.

“Kiss… “

“It’s not possible.”

As soon as Syria started speaking, I immediately rejected it.

A kiss a week. No matter how much I thought about it, the progress was too fast.

Assuming you have to stop taking medication for the rest of your life, you can only kiss in one week.

Proportionally speaking, it didn’t make much sense.

“The final reward is… When you say making a baby, it only takes a week to kiss. This is a very drastic reward. I think we need to wait at least a month to get there.”

“But sir. “For successful treatment, appropriate compensation must be provided.”

“Then, if you wait a week, we’ll hug each other one more time. “I think this is enough.”

“however… ”

Tingling-

I glared at the therapist who continued to talk back.

Even Syria was quiet just now, so why am I even more upset?

“Yes, but without proper compensation, it is difficult to sustain treatment. “If things go well like this and you start using drugs again, you’re back to square one.”

“But no kissing. “You have to endure it for a month.”

“Okay, then let’s make it two weeks. That’s meaningful enough… ”

“It’s not possible. one month.”

“Then the 15th… ”

“one month.”

“Then three weeks… ”

“one month.”

“Please take a look, sir. Really more than 3 weeks… ”

“one month. “Absolutely not.”

“… So let’s compromise a little and make it 4 weeks. “If that’s the case, there isn’t much of a difference, right?”

“… “Let’s do that.”

I don’t know why I’m negotiating with my therapist.

Is this compensation that important?

“And if that’s the case, let’s just hug each other every week instead. “If you don’t get any compensation over that long period of time, you can’t really be successful.”

“All right.”

A hug every week. A kiss after 4 weeks.

… To be honest, I don’t think we should kiss.

If you endure it for about 4 weeks, it means that you have made quite a bit of progress in treating your addiction, so you could probably think of the kiss as a final reward.

I think Syria was probably far from medicine by that time.

Of course, I don’t know if I can succeed for 4 weeks. And even after four weeks, there was still plenty of room for medication.

“one week… It’s long… ”

Syria was sullen and lowered its head over the results of the negotiations.

Still, it’s a good thing they didn’t cause a scene.

“Then I’ll see you next week. “I will contact you again with the schedule at that time.”

“huh… ”

Syria trudged out with the knight of the Ceramide family, leaving only me and the therapist in the reception room.

“Well, then I’ll just leave…” ”

“for a moment.”

He too quickly packed his bags and tried to run away, so I grabbed his wrist and made him sit back down.

“What are we talking about? “I didn’t know who the healer was.”

“Well, that really can’t be helped, sir. Appropriate compensation is required for treatment… ”

“But wouldn’t it be okay to set a slightly longer period? “I would have had to stop taking medication for the rest of my life, but they gave me such a big reward in just one month.”

“Ji, calm down and listen, driver. “A month is enough time.”

The therapist couldn’t help but sit back down at my touch.

“As a result of what I observed today, the reward presented by the Lady seemed to mean more to her than I thought. In other words, the driver is bigger than you think.”

“… “Is that why they didn’t come in even if you screamed like that?”

“Please take a look. Time was needed to observe the specimen. In any case, it means that the reward and meaning are so great that the rumored Princess Seramaig became so obedient. “If kissing the driver was meaningful enough to give up taking medicine for four weeks, then it might not be impossible to stop taking medicine for the rest of your life.”

“But that means that if you don’t receive lifelong compensation, you can use medicine again even after four weeks. “Isn’t it?”

“It’s not like that. From then on, you are likely to crave rewards instead of drugs. This is especially true in cases of avoidable medication like Young-ae. “It means the situation is not as serious as we thought.”

So doesn’t that mean that he’s trying to take me instead of medicine? I think that’s more dangerous.

“… “So does that mean I have to be dragged around by the lady for the rest of my life?”

“It’s not like that. Of course you will have to give compensation at first, but it is highly likely that things will return to normal after you stop taking the drug. You may crave the driver for a while, but once you stop taking the drug, it is easy to find a new goal in life. This is a characteristic of avoidant medication. “It allows us to face reality.”

“under… ”

Anyway, I guess it will be okay.

To be honest, I didn’t believe it, but I had no choice.

For now, I had no choice but to wait until 4 weeks.

“All right. “I’ll see you next week.”

“yes. “Then thank you for your hard work.”

After saying hello, the therapist hurriedly left the reception room as if she had been waiting.

He was a person who became increasingly obnoxious.

Today, I tried to rest because I used up a lot of my mental energy, but I couldn’t because Yuuna called me again right away.

It was a tiring day in many ways.

***

My escort driver has been acting strange lately.

Yuna, who was spending more time with Beryl, thought so.

Is it because he gave orders that were too unreasonable?

No, that’s not it. On the contrary, as time went on, I became a little kinder to him.

I don’t know why, but I started to care for him little by little.

Then the cause lies elsewhere.

If I were to guess, the biggest cause is the treatment for drug addiction in Syria, which is said to have started a long time ago.

It seems like it’s already been over two months, but as expected, there was no cause other than that.

If it’s possible to test that knight’s mental strength, then Syria is the only place to test it.

“Beryl.”

“… “Yes princess.”

It was Yuna’s office.

As usual, Beryl was there as her guard, and she was taking care of a few things.

Usually, in Yuna’s case, she left her escort outside the door, but for Beryl, she always kept her by her side.

This was because, despite being from a commoner background, he excelled in many areas and was secretly helpful in many areas.

Rather than being a commoner knight, he had such good political sense that he seemed like a member of the royal family of some country.

“That neck wound. “It’s not getting any better.”

“… yes. It seems like the wounds are getting worse because I keep scratching without thinking. “I think it’s partly because of rolling around on the dirt during training.”

“… I think it’s been almost two months now. “Isn’t there another problem?”

“There is nothing particularly suspicious, but we will treat it as quickly as possible.”

The scar on Beryl’s neck started to come into view not long ago, no, about two months ago.

The small mark, which looked like an insect bite, did not disappear even after two months.

At first, she didn’t really care, but with the same mark in the same spot for two months, Yuna couldn’t help but care.

To be honest, I was starting to suspect that there might be another cause.

“You Beryl. “Did you say you were sharing the same room as the female gentleman?”

“Yes that’s right. “This is Lia Hen Mernis, my motivation for joining.”

“She is the daughter of the Mernis Knight Commander. “Is there anything uncomfortable about your stay?”

“I have been with him since my apprenticeship, so there is no inconvenience. “We are keeping a good relationship with each other.”

At first, I was suspicious of the relationship between Beryl and the female knight who shared the same room.

Since his days were always full of escort duties, I thought there was no other way he could have gotten marks like that on his neck.

However, after watching Lia and Beryl over the past few days, that possibility seemed low.

Above all, since they were both escort knights, they spent very few days sharing a room together, and the female knight called Liar did not seem like that type of woman at all.

A person closer to a knight than a woman.

It didn’t seem like he would ever leave a mark like that on his neck, let alone have any kind of relationship with Beryl.

Of course, I couldn’t help but be concerned about men and women sharing a room.

“Beryl. that… ”

Should I change rooms? Yuna thought about it, but immediately kept her mouth shut.

There was no problem, but it was unnecessary. If I suddenly came forward and asked to change rooms, I might have been suspicious.

I myself was aware that there was something strange about such behavior.

“that… What is the treatment like in Syria? Is there any progress?”

“… yes. There is actually quite a bit of progress. “It’s amazing.”

“is that so? “It’s surprising.”

“… I’m also surprised. “It has now been almost a month since the princess stopped taking medicine.”

That crazy b*tch hasn’t taken her medication for a month?

It was quite surprising news even for Yuna. It was to the point where I wondered if I would ever stop taking the medication.

“… for a moment. “If that’s the case, doesn’t it really mean that you and Syria should get married?”

“Maybe so, really.”

“yes? It’s a problem to say so calmly… !”

Yuuna, who was momentarily offended by Beryl’s sly answer, turned around and glared at him.

Yuna got angry and tried to shoot back, but she couldn’t. This is because Beryl’s expression as she said that was as if she was about to die at any moment.

It was Yuuna’s first time seeing his complexion this dark.

“Gwae, are you okay Beryl… ”

It was so gray that Yuna asked if she was okay. Beryl’s face.

In fact, this was the most worrying moment since he started treating Syria.

“yes… it’s okay. Don’t worry, princess. Because the criteria for quitting medication are ambiguous, it is not easy to promise marriage based on that condition. You could end up getting married and reneging on the promise. “There will be no need to get married until you can clearly prove that you will never use drugs for the rest of your life.”

“Well, that’s right.”

It was definitely as he said. There was no way to check whether or not I really stopped taking medication for the rest of my life.

Moreover, if Syria, the daughter of Duke Ceramide, comes to her senses, it would not be all bad politically.

But why does Beryl’s expression look so difficult?

“I will take turns, princess.”

“thank you for your effort.”

That worry continued even after Beryl changed duties and left his side.

I wasn’t particularly worried, but it was my first time seeing his face like that.

“tomorrow… “I said so.”

Syria’s next consultation date is said to be tomorrow.

Sometimes Beryl went to the duke’s residence, but most of the time, due to schedules, Syria and the therapist visited the royal castle.

And I heard that Syria is planning to visit tomorrow as well.

“Hmm… “

Clearly, his expression soured when the story of Syria came out.

Yuna wanted to check the cause. I was also curious about the progress of treatment in Syria.

But since I couldn’t just show up there, I had no choice but to steal, even though I didn’t like it.

“Where is the reception room that the Lady of Ceramide usually uses?”

Yuna had no idea what she would see there the next day.
