Chapter 37- Desire

Why did she travel all the way when she was suffering from such a high fever—under normal circumstances Richard would have asked that to the maid and the soldiers who have brought Bellarine here. However, considering his mother's nature and the desperation she shows when things come to him, he couldn't say anything to them.

The head maid who works in the mansion situated in the capital has also arrived, so the preparation of remedial soup was in her care. Lilia wanted to help, but under Richard's stern gaze, she decided to get first treated.

The area was surrounded by soldiers, so Richard didn't have to force himself to stay on alert, and he was able to pay attention to Lilia and Bellarine.

The crimson-haired lady was currently lying down inside the carriage while using Richard's lap as a comfortable pillow and holding his hand like it was the only support she had to feel at peace.
