PMBPHP Chapter 76

I cried in front of Agar and Carlsen, but by the time I got to Gresis-sama’s room, I managed to recover my feelings.

While Agar was laying Gresis-sama on the bed, Carlsen went to call the royal doctor Crane.

“Then, I will start the treatment right away. Everyone except Her Royal Highness, please wait outside.”
Crane came right away.

I sat next to Gresis-sama, who was laid on the bed, and hesitated when I tried to put my hands on his back.

I used Healer on all the patients who have just been stabbed with an arrow.
I’m sure Gresis-sama will be fine too.
But there is no guarantee.

If he didn’t have the power to heal, I couldn’t help but be scared when I thought about it.
I put my hand on his back fearfully.
I burst into tears.

“Your Highness? Is there something wrong?”
Crane had a worried expression, so I waved my hand in a hurry.

“No. I’m sorry, I’m relieved. I’ll use Healer right away.”
That’s good, he has the power to heal properly.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Slowly, slowly stroke the back of the black panther, which feels smooth to the touch.

The arrow stuck nearby is painful.
It’s okay now.

I was sure, but I couldn’t calm down, so I stroked it for a while.
After the treatment, Crane called Agar to the room.

“I’m going to pull the arrow out of His Highness now. Please keep an eye on him just in case.”
“Please leave it to me.”

Agar gripped the hilt of his sword and stood by Gresis-sama’s bed.
If Gresis-sama goes on a rampage, Agar has to block his movements.

I was convinced that it was okay with Healer, so the possibility is low, but it’s better to be careful.
It’s okay, right?

When I was staring at Gresis-sama and Agar anxiously, Crane spoke to me gently.

“The Princess hasn’t had lunch yet, has she? When His Highness wakes up, I will call you, so please go back to your room and wait.”

“Thank you. Please.”
Accompanied by the escort Carlsen, I returned to my room for a while.

“What happened to Your Highness? Your eyes are bright red.”
“Huh? Really? That much?”

Mai, the maid, has sharp eyes.

“Now, I’ll cool your eyes, so please lie down on the bed.”

After lunch, I closed my eyes while Mai was cooling them with a wet towel.
It’s cool and feels good.

“Your Royal Highness, Lord Crane is calling for you. Anytime is fine.”
I was surprised when Mai called out to me.

It seems that before I knew it, I had fallen asleep, and two hours had passed.
I hurriedly dressed up and headed to Gresis-sama’s room.
I entered the room and slowly sat down on Gresis-sama’s bed.

“Gresis-sama, how are you feeling?”

Gresis-sama, a black leopard who was closing his eyes on the bed, raised his head and turned his face to me.

“I’m fine. I’m sorry, I showed you something bad. I believed that Lilith would definitely treat me.”
“Yes, I made a promise.”

I hugged Gresis-sama’s head as if wrapping it, and rubbed my cheek on the top of his head.

“But I was very scared.”
“I’m sorry.”

I don’t know if he’s trying to comfort me, but one of Gresis-sama’s big front legs was put on my lap.

He had no choice but to protect the child and get infected, but I was worried, so I made him worry.

After loosening my arms, I gently wrapped Gresis-sama’s face with both hands and made eye contact with his yellow eyes.

“Gresis-sama, you did nothing wrong, but I’m sorry for making you apologize. Please take a good rest at this time. I’ll help you with the meal.”

When I said that, his eyes were squinted dazzlingly.

“Thank you. Then let’s give up on the mission and be spoiled by Lilith.”

When Gresis-sama put his head on my lap, he closed his eyes and began to purr like a cat.
I wonder if it’s the same feeling as a cat because it’s the cat family?

“Is it comfortable?”
“Yeah.”

Gresis-sama replies with his eyes closed.
When I stroked under his chin, he squinted his eyes even more comfortably and groaned.

How cute. I found another cute side of Gresis-sama.

“What should I do, I can pet it all the time.”
“I don’t care how much you pet me.”

I was forgiven, so I stroked it as much as I wanted.
I want you to recover quickly and get well.
But if you return to the human form, I won’t be able to pet the black leopard.

It made me feel a little regretful.

I completely understand Lilith here. Of course she wants Gresis to be healthy, but she also wants to keep cuddling his animal form. I would be conflicted too.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
