11 Medical Check Up

She grew suspicious that someone had measured her body when she fainted. But she hoped that it was Belle and not the purple-haired healer.

"B-but, that's impossible! How can a foreigner like me be immediately made special underwear and dress?! Come on Alicia! Even though they have taken care of and provided luxurious food, it doesn't mean they think of me as an important guest." Alicia immediately refuted her previous thoughts. She almost fell for their kindness and fell into their trap. She could not be careless anymore!

Before she put on the dress, she intended to thoroughly examine her body.

She was surprised by what she saw. As Belle had said earlier, her skin was still smooth, and there was not the slightest bit of scar-like she had feared. She was even more curious how long it would take her to be unconscious for her wounds to heal completely.

It was when she checked her head that she realized it. The only thing that changed on her body was her hair. Her waist-length white hair had now changed to neck-length hair.

Stroking her short hair, she felt sad because she had never cut her hair so short. The hair that she had cared for since childhood had to be roughly cut by the Holy Kingdom's prison warden.

She still didn't understand why the Holy Kingdom was torturing her in such a horrific way. Not only making her tormented in prison and having trouble eating. Her hair should also be cut for no apparent reason.

She felt that the length of her hair was uneven because it was cut with a sword. She didn't like short hair, but she wanted to keep it tidy. At least she did not want her appearance to change too much so that when she met her brother, she could still be recognized by him.

"Where's the mirror?" Although Alicia had previously looked at the entire contents of the chamber, she had only just realized that there was no mirror. She was eager to see how she looked now that she had left her village. Did she look pathetic or not?

She had not washed her hair in a long time, and she could feel her hair was dirty. She needs a shower. But, unfortunately, the chamber also does not have a bathroom or a restroom.

"Gosh, this place deserves to be called a luxury prison. There are no mirrors, and no restrooms. It's absolutely no different from my previous prison."

Since she did not find the things she was looking for, she intended to look for them outside the chamber. She knew when Belle came out of her room, she didn't lock the door.

She walked over to the door to confirm. But before she reached the door, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

Before they entered the chamber and saw that she was only wearing underwear, she rushed over and put on the white dress in a hurry.

Since her energy has been filled and her body has returned to health, she can move quickly to put on clothes, lie down on the bed, and cover her body with a blanket. She intended to pretend as if she had gone back to sleep again.

Right after that, the chamber door opened. Alicia also slept facing left so that people who entered did not immediately see her face. She wondered what they would talk about when she fell asleep.

Alicia could hear Belle protesting to someone who came with her eyes closed. "You should have immediately reported it to the Young Master. I have confirmed that her wounds have healed, and that there are no abnormalities in her body."

"How can you tell if there is no abnormality in her body if you only see from the outside? We also need to check the inside of her to make sure her health."

"B-but didn't you ask me to check her external health instead?"

"I asked you to do it because I knew that Miss Alicia would refuse if I did it. Since you are still at the learning stage as an assistant, I still hesitate to assign the task of a healer to you."

"Nnnn- Hemph!"

Alicia was sure that the man with Belle was the purple-haired healer just hearing their voices. She knew that Belle was upset because the healer didn't trust her, but that wasn't what she got from their conversation. She was a little scared by the healer's intention to check her health too.

'Internal health check? W-what did the healer mean?!' Just remembering how Belle checked her external health gave her goosebumps, especially since she had to undergo a health check that sounded terrible.

If she chooses to run away or follow the check, she will definitely desire to run away. But unfortunately, there was no way to escape. She was forced to follow the checking. Even though she didn't know what kind of check the healer would do.

She hoped the healer didn't use a horrible tool to check. Just imagining it made her tremble with fear.

"She fell asleep? Didn't I tell you to ask her not to sleep again?!" The healer was surprised to see Alicia sleeping.

"Eh? Miss Alicia should be eating, but how is she eating so fast?!" Belle, who had calculated that she would return while Alicia was eating, had missed.

"Haah, the medical checkup won't be optimal if she's asleep." The healer sighed because Belle didn't do anything he asked.

"I'll wake her up!"

Alicia panicked a little when she heard Belle starting to climb onto the bed. She was afraid that Belle would find out that she was only pretending to be asleep.
