Chapter 46
Marquis Efeckle returned to the ballroom and managed to gracefully finish the event before boarding the carriage back to his mansion with Leshuan.@@novelbin@@
‘Thank goodness nothing worse happened.’
Even after the first aid, Leshuan didn’t wake up immediately. The limited amount of magic stones he had on hand wasn’t enough. This was the first time since she was a child that she had been this ill.
Marquis Efeckle had stopped Ryan from calling the royal physician, instead asking him to discreetly fetch some magic stones.
Ryan had looked puzzled, but the Marquis gave him a partial truth.
‘Magic stones are essential to save Leshuan. She has a unique constitution that requires them.’
It would have taken too long to fetch the necessary magic stones from his mansion. It was wiser to request Ryan’s help, especially since Ryan was known to be in love with Leshuan—something all of high society was aware of. This made it easier for the Marquis to share the truth with him.
Ryan secretly ordered his servants to bring the stones.
Even after the situation was under control, Marquis Efeckle’s heart was still in turmoil. The sudden event had left him anxious, with a deep fear that his granddaughter might also leave him, just as his daughter had.
…And die, just as she had.
‘Child, I cannot let you go like that.’
Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen. After additional magic stone use, Leshuan woke up with her usual bright smile.
However, Marquis Efeckle’s hands were still trembling.
‘What happened, Grandfather?’
Leshauan smiled, not noticing anything unusual.
When Leshuan understood the situation, her first concern was the potential rumors that might arise because of her, all for the sake of her grandfather’s reputation.
What do you think?
