The Rune Magician Who Lost Everything to Her Older Sister, Becomes Doted On by the Genius Prince – Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Let’s take a walk
After parting with His Highness Rejhon, I head towards his room again.
I don’t have any set time to visit, but I find myself going there around the same time every day.
I naturally quicken my pace.
I arrive at the front of the room.
I knock three times and call out to His Highness.
“Your Highness, it’s Meiana.”
I waited for about three seconds.
There is no reply, only silence.
I tilt my head in confusion and knock on the door again.
“Your Highness?”
There is still no answer.
Could he be sleeping?
If so, I don’t want to wake him up.
But just to be sure, I wanted to confirm if he was sleeping or not.
After all, it’s rude to enter the prince’s private room without permission.
That’s where my special skill comes in handy.
“【ᛗ(Manaz)】.”
I engrave a rune on the door of the room.
The meaning of 【ᛗ】 is “person.”
It has the effect of sensing human presence, searching for lost people, and discovering something related to humans.
The rune engraved on the door glows, and if there is someone inside, it will continue to shine.
If no one is inside…
“Gone?”
The light goes out.
The detection by runes showed no signs of a person in the room.
I became worried and opened the door in a hurry.
“Your Highness!”
As expected, no one was there.
The bed was neatly made and the room was tidy.
The window was also closed, and there were no signs of a struggle.
In other words, he left on his own.
“He’s still supposed to be resting.”
Where could His Highness be?
I searched the room frantically.
But of course, he wasn’t there.
There were no traces of him either.
He’s already recovered from his injuries and has been told that it’s okay to walk around.
“Your Highness…”
I’m worried.
And after hearing that talk from His Majesty, I’m even more anxious.
However, His Highness should know better than anyone.
Surely he didn’t go too far.
Considering His Highness’s personality…
“The office?”
Making a guess, I quickly left the room.
I headed towards the office where His Highness usually works.
If it’s His Highness’s personality, he must be itching to get back to work after leaving it unattended for a month.
If the body can move well enough, then it should be fine to start working already.
That must have been what he thought.
With a presumptuous expectation, I knock on the door of the office.
“Your Highness, are you in?”
“――That voice, Meiana.”
“――! I knew it.”
He was here after all.
I breathe a sigh of relief.
“May I come in?”
“Sure.”
“Excuse me.”
I enter the room.
The window must be open, as a gentle breeze blows through the room.
Documents piled up on the table flutter in the wind.
His Highness was standing, holding the documents and examining them.
Honestly, it was too predictable and I was exasperated.
“You figured out I’d be here?”
“Since it is His Highness, I thought he might have started work.”
“Haha, you’re right. I’ve recovered enough. This much won’t be a problem.”
“That’s not right. Even the doctor must have told you to rest. Your wounds may have healed, but your strength hasn’t fully returned.”
Even if it was somewhat disrespectful, I offer my advice to His Highness.
Of course, Your Highness should understand as well.
So even if I tell him, he won’t get angry.
“You’re a worrier.”
Saying that, His Highness put the documents back on the table.
“You were later than usual, so I thought you might not come today.”
“I had some business to attend to.”
There was no need to mention my conversation with His Highness Rejhon.
I somehow thought that and didn’t bring it up.
“How are those two? Are they lively and well?”
“I think they’re taking a break right now.”
“I see. I’m sorry for making them bored. It would have been better if I were stronger.”
“You’re more than enough.”
The injury was quite deep and heavy.
It was only the shortest healing period recommended by the doctor, which was one month.
Wounds that would normally take two months to heal healed in half that time.
Healing by magic is advanced and especially difficult to treat others.
Healing was one of His Highness’s few inexperienced magic.
Still, this recovery speed was amazing.
“The doctor said I can go back to normal life. I think paperwork is fine, too.”
“Did you talk to the doctor about your job?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Then please make sure to confirm next time you see them.”
I’m not a doctor, so I can’t be clear about the state of His Highness’s body.
If a doctor says it’s okay, then there’s no problem, and if it hasn’t been said, then he should rest.
“Well then. Let’s stop working and take a walk together instead?”
“A walk? That’s fine, but where to? Not too far.”
“It’s okay, the distance isn’t too far. There’s a hill behind the royal castle.”
“A hill, you say?”
Come to think of it, that’s right.
The castle itself is built on a high place in the city.
I have never been there because you have to cross the royal castle to get there.
“Is there something there?”
“…There’s a grave.”
“A grave?”
“…Yeah, it’s my late mother’s grave.”
His Highness passes by me.
His profile, which was visible for only a moment, looked sad.
