14. Slow learning turtle (4)

14. Turtle slow to learn (4)

Bluebell’s sad voice resonates throughout the room.

“Ah, Dad-!!”

Marquis Irten, who looked fine on the outside until yesterday.

He lay on the bed, pale, breathing heavily.

“Ah, why did Dad end up like this… Whoa… It’s usually fine, but suddenly… “

Bluebell sits on the floor and doesn’t stop crying because of how sad he is.

When you want her feelings to have calmed down to some extent.

I paid attention to the doctor nearby.

‘It’s okay to talk now.’

Nod-

Seeing my eyes, he hardened his heart and opened his mouth.

“Marquis Irten was always ill. He was about to explode one day. My flesh was rotting away, and it was difficult to breathe even when I was sleeping. And, it’s hard to say this, but… “

The Marquis has only a few days left to live.

I have serious heart problems.

Shocked by those words, Bluebell asked, shaking her voice.

“Why… ? Why didn’t you tell me Daddy was sick… ?”

“… The Marquis ordered me not to speak.”

“Where is that… !! You should have told me!! I am your daughter!!”

Bluebell got up off the floor and grabbed the doctor by the collar.

“And if you know you have a disease, you can treat it… !! Why is my father not treating me when he is sick? !! You are still a doctor… !!?”

“… I’m sorry, young lady. But I’ll do my best to treat-“

“I don’t need anything like that-! If you’ve done your best, make Daddy healthy again-!!”

Blue Bell blamed her doctor and she cried out as she grabbed him by the collar.

It was a look that could kill a person.

“If you’re going to die, you die instead!!”

I watched the scene for a while, and at the right moment removed my hand from the bluebell that was holding it by the collar.

“Calm down, young lady.”

“Leave this!! What kind of doctor can’t treat patients!! If you did your best, your dad shouldn’t be sick!! Why does Dad have to lie in bed!!”

“Sorry… sorry… “

“Leave this!”

I lost my temper.

I grabbed Bluebell’s body from behind and secured it.

And then, I glared at the doctor who was standing there restlessly.

‘Get off quickly.’

I winked at him, and the doctor quickly left.

Even so, Bluebell’s tyranny didn’t seem to stop.

“Leave this!! What kind of doctor is that!! I will disqualify you!! If Daddy dies, I will kill his entire family!! Let go of this right now!!”

In the novel, Bluebell, whose mind has collapsed, actually annihilates that doctor’s family.

I couldn’t let it go like that, so I held her tight and held her down with all her might.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the bed.

“… Noisy, Bluebell.”

“Oh, Dad?!”

Fantastic –

When Blue Bell heard Irten’s voice, she headed straight for the bed.

“Dad! Do you come to your senses? Won’t you die? Did you just catch a cold?”

“… Okay. Cool- It’s a light illness.”

“Don’t lie! I’m not stupid! The doctor said it was an illness!”

“… Heh heh, you caught me.”

Irten tries to pass it off with a good laugh.

I know what kind of disease he currently has.

‘Diabetes’, in which you gain a lot of weight, lose weight, and suddenly have heart problems.’

I know the name of the bottle.

However, there is still no cure for diabetes in this world.

And, most importantly.

‘No matter how much I change my diet, I can’t delay death.’

Even if Irten didn’t have diabetes, he would die in a month anyway.

He just wrapped up his death in the name of diabetes.

There is another reason why Irten dies.

And no matter what I do, I can’t stop his death.

All I could do was watch him die and keep Bluebell from collapsing.

“Still, I’m glad my pretty daughter is by her side.”

“What are you talking about, don’t talk like you’re dying… ! Daddy’s not dying… !”

“I wish I did- cool-“

Irten coughed and black blood poured from his mouth.

At that sight, Bluebell’s lips turned pale.

“Ah, Dad-!! Don’t die-!!”

“It’s noisy, I’m going to die sooner because of you, my daughter.”

“No! You want to die while I’m not looking? No! Do not die! Never die! If you die, I will kill them all!”

“With Damian Yeongsik… Cool- I have something to tell you, so please leave… “

I calmly stroked Bluebell’s head from behind.

“You are out. We’ll talk quickly and we’ll change.”

“Annoying… what are you… I don’t have time for dad… “

“Come on.”

“… It’s annoying.”

Bluebell walked out slowly, wiping her tears with her hand.

Irten and I were left alone in the room.

He looked worried for a moment, then looked me in the eye seriously.

“Damian Youngsik.”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry you got caught up in this disrespectful thing.”

“No, I was paid to work as a teacher. I didn’t do anything special.”

Humility.

Humility again.

Perhaps he liked the look, Irten said with a smile.

“Heh heh, I’m not very good at seeing people… The look of you I saw for a month… One of the most impressive people I’ve ever seen… More than an emperor or a crown prince.”

“I am on the verge of death, but I must have been hungry for rebellion.”

“It’s also fun… I’m sure my daughter likes you that much too… This is the first time I have had such a long teacher.”

From noble mtl dot com

Cool-

Irten let out her cough and took my hand.

“I have one suggestion… “

“If it’s your will, I won’t listen now.”

“It is not a will… A request for my daughter… If you like my daughter… Please I want you to marry my daughter. You can take all the property of the Marquis of Period to the Sinclair family.”

Instead of that.

“Please… Please don’t leave my daughter alone… Although they are my daughters, all the women in our period family… I was born with a bad personality… So is my wife, so is my daughter… Still, I’m greedy… I did the wrong thing to see you happy… “

A bad personality.

I know what Irten is talking about.

It’s not just about Bluebell’s personality problem.

This is the genetic personality of the Marquis of the Period Family, who should not be left alone.

“Please… “

Irten must have known that as well, and she begged, holding my hand firmly.

“Please… Don’t let my daughter walk down the same path as my wife, don’t let her use other people for relief… It looks so immature… Cool – My daughter is deeper than anyone else… “

“I was born with the deep sea. Are you saying that?”

“… That’s correct.”

It is not the sea.

Deep sea.

I understood what Irten was talking about.

Outwardly, bluebells that are more lively than anyone else and have prickles are genetically very deep.

She was a wicked woman born with melancholy.

***

Late evening.

The time when people slowly start to fall asleep.

– I’m going in.

Bang-!

Bluebell broke into my room without my consent.

Your expression looked very depressed.

“I came because I have something to say.”

“Yes.”

Normally, she would have scolded her for not having a habit.

I thought so and sat on the bed and responded calmly.

“Please sit in that chair over there.”

“I will sit down without you having to ask.”

Push-

Unlike usual, Bluebell sat down on the chair.

Then, he looked at me and said calmly.

“Dad. I will die soon.”

“Yes.”

“Dad is dying because he is overweight and doesn’t take care of his health.”

“I see.”

“Why did Dad have to die? Dad… Why die?”

“That… “

Schemes of other families-

I swallowed my words once and then calmly spoke.

“Because I was out of luck.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Does it make sense for people to die because they are unlucky!?”

“It makes sense.”

It’s a sad word.

People are sometimes unlucky and die suddenly.

Unluckily, Irten was only targeted by another family.

“Where is that!!”

Beep-

Bluebell got up from her chair, clenched her fists, and swung her fists at me.

“Out of luck! People die! Does that make sense!!”

Puck- Puck-

A bluebell that beats my chest at random and pours out resentment along with blaming others.

Unlike usual, I was just getting punched by her.

“What are you… !! Come to the mansion… ! It’s all because of you… !! You came to the mansion and something bad happened… !!”

“Maybe.”

“Mister, Mr.… Whoa… Annoying… Whoa… “

However, Bluebell’s fist didn’t hurt at all.

There was no strength in Bluebell’s fist as she shed tears.

Bluebell stopped punching her and let her tears flow.

“Huh… Why does my father have to die… Hey, this isn’t fair… I haven’t done anything yet, I haven’t heard anything… I’ll listen to you later hehehe… I did… “

“Calm down, Lady Bluebell.”

I stroked her hair gently.

Then, Blue Bell relaxed and came into my arms.

Perhaps it was because she was shocked by the fact that her father was dying.

She was much weaker than usual.

“For today… Calm down and wait.”

“What… ? Wait for my dad to die… ?”

“That’s not it, I’m telling you to clear your mind. Shall we take a deep breath first?”

I wrapped my arms around Bluebell’s back and let out a deep breath.

Sup- Ha-

Sup- Ha-

I let her exhale and exhale to calm Blue Bell.

She hesitated for a moment, but copied my actions and let out a deep breath.

As time passed, she seemed to have calmed down a bit.

“I’m fine now… I’m fine… “

“I’m glad, but have you met the Marquis?”

“Oh, Mom… Mom cried… And… and… It’s over.”

Are you sure you don’t want to talk about the Marquis?

I understand.

I tore the bluebell from her arms after I had stopped crying.

“You have to work hard.”

Not really.

I had nothing else to say.

It’s not like I know all about her pain.

No matter what I say in this situation, it won’t help her.

‘I just need to stay still.’

I have no choice but to wait for Bluebell to overcome himself.

If she is going to collapse, I just have to stand next to her and hold on so she doesn’t collapse.

Until Bluebell stands on its own.

I still have a personality close to that of a single-minded general, but as you saw in the novel, once you start feeling depressed, you will fall into endless depression.

I knew very well why she was raising her thorns.

“At times like this, you have to work harder.”

“… I know. What I have to work hard on.”

The thorns are erected again.

Still, I can’t help that rude personality.

I said after petting Bluebell once.

“Go now and get some rest. You need to sleep to gain strength.”

“… I’ll take care of it. And. Forget about today just… I’m just crazy for a second okay?!”

Bluebells at a dead end.

I answered like a machine.

“I forgot everything about today.”

“Don’t make fun of me! Do you want to die?!”

Still, I smiled as if my appearance was funny.

It was the first smile I had seen since Irten lay down.

“Go out.”

After saying that, Bluebell turned around and headed for her room.

And before leaving.

Suddenly, he stopped walking and asked a random question.

“… Damian.”

“Yes.”

“You are me. You won’t throw it away like other teachers, right?”

“Until the contract ends.”

“Really? Don’t you have anything else to say? You are unconditionally my teacher, okay?”

“… “

I feel anxious.

I nodded a little slower than usual.

“Okay then.”

Bluebell smiled contentedly and left the door open.

Although she regains her playfulness as usual…

“I think it will start soon.”

It looked like it would rain tomorrow.

***

As I expected, dark clouds rose from the sky and rain began to flow.

The torrential rain soaked the lawn and windows of the mansion.

The servants of the mansion did their duty by moving busily.

And.

“… Dad is dead, Damian. What should I do?”

Irten lost her life according to the future.

It was summer when it started to rain.

“N, I… What should I do now?”

Bluebell knows nothing about funerals.

Not knowing what to do, Blue Bell exhaled heavily and shook her body.

“I will tell you about the funeral. Please follow me.”

“…Yes.”

Kwaak-

I took her hand and prepared Irten’s funeral together.

Even in this serious situation, the Marquis was not there.

Anyway, today seemed to be dark day and night.
