Chapter 58: I Will Do Anything For You

"Oh, well, Gilmon is pretty popular with women. There’s so many that I couldn’t even remember their names. You must be an amazing guy, aren’t you, Gilmon?"

Siri, covering her mouth and laughing as if she’s teasing me.

It was actually understandable to be misunderstood like that.

Recently, several women have come to visit me in the hospital.

Of course, the ones I was looking for were Phonia and Sophie.

They rushed over as soon as they heard I was hospitalized.

They even took turns staying up all night to take care of me.

I told them to only come at night because they seemed very tired and my condition was improving.

Phonia has to go to the Academy, and Sophie has work to do.

"Yes, Phonia and Sophie. They said they’re going to be a little late today because they have something to do."

"Ah, I see..."

"There’s no need to be gloomy. Other women said they’re coming. It’s better to have a little hustle and bustle during the recovery period. Besides, if they’re beautiful, there’s nothing more to say, right?"

"It’s Livia Head of Security and the Princess!"

Siri said in a voice that sounded like it should have a flashy ’Tada!’ sound effect.

She was just chattering away as if she was amazed.

Seriously... I can’t even get a break.

"Later, when you get better, please tell me about Gilmon. You’re not even twenty years old, but you’re using a private room in the top floor VVIP room of a hospital with a total floor area of over 33,000 square meters. What do you do? And your acquaintances are even from the Imperial Family. And that’s not all? Daughters of prestigious families, outstanding athletes, aspiring entertainers... What are you? Come to think of it, they’re all women? I’m really curious about what your charm!"

"..."

According to Siri’s words, the heroines came to visit while I was unconscious.

Of course, I didn’t talk to them or anything since I was unconscious.

After waking up, I was so scared that I refused all visits from everyone.

I’m an easy target in the hospital right now.

But it was impossible to refuse a visit from the Empire’s Princess.

Even if I’m the person in the hospital room, the opinion of an ordinary commoner is not accepted.

Phonia and Sophie, who didn’t know anything, said that the Princess’s interest was something to be grateful for.

’Phonia, what would have happened if the Princess hadn’t discovered you being attacked by a stranger!’

’The Princess provided all the hospital bills and the hospital room. She said we should take you to the Imperial Hospital, but it was too far away, so we came here.’

Well, that crazy bitch was the one who attacked me!

But well... I’m glad I didn’t go to the Imperial Hospital.

I feel more comfortable in a private hospital.

If it were the Imperial Hospital, everything would go according to the Princess’s wishes.

The only reason I didn’t refuse Aisha and Livia’s visits was because their favorability had decreased.

[Aisha Sinclair]

[Trait: Princess]

[Personality: Authority, arrogance, masochism, obsession, delusion]

[Favorability: 89/100]

[The appropriate favorability Max is 100.]

[Livia]

[Trait: Bodyguard]

[Personality: Obedience, gratitude]

[Favorability: 91/100]

[The appropriate favorability Max is 100.]

For now, the updated personality is being maintained, but the favorability has dropped a lot.

This is because I distributed Aisha’s runaway favorability to Livia.

At this level, I don’t have to worry about a knife fight.

Aisha’s creaking sound of her blade still lingered in my ears.

I guess this is PTSD?

Knock. Knock.

And, it’s time for them to visit.

The pure white nurse, Siri, who doesn’t know anything, winked slyly and said.

"Oh my, you have precious guests. I’ll be on my way out now?"

I want to shout, ’Please don’t go,’ with all my heart.

I didn’t have the energy because I was recovering my strength.

"... Gilmon, how’s your body?"

Princess Aisha Sinclair.

The second most noble woman in the Empire stood by my side in a demure pose.

In an instant, the things that happened with her flashed by like a panorama.

Not only the previous playthrough but also recent events.

The kidnapping of Phonia at her Signature Hills apartment, the affair in the staff room of Café de Noir, the week of confinement sex in the Imperial Palace, and the recent knife fight...

There really have been a lot of things.

But the woman in front of me now was elegant and dignified, as if she had nothing to do with all of that.

She wasn’t wearing a cheap whore dress like at Signature Hills.

She wasn’t spreading her legs like in the staff room of Café de Noir.

She wasn’t spouting lewd words and craving my dick like in her room in the Imperial Palace.

Decisively, she wasn’t climbing over the toilet stall like a four-legged beast and wielding a sashimi knife in the park’s toilet stall.

... Her crazy expression at that time couldn’t be found anywhere now.

She looks normal to anyone.

She took out an auxiliary chair and sat down.

She whispered, fidgeting with her hands on her knees as if she was reflecting.

"No matter how many times I apologize, you won’t forgive me, right, Gilmon? I’m sorry. I don’t know why I did that. It wasn’t something a Princess should do."

She was also wearing a few simple but clearly expensive accessories.

Right now, she was undoubtedly worthy of being the daughter of the great Emperor.

"I know what you’re thinking. But Livia and I have already made up. I don’t even know why we fought, but..."

When I looked up, Livia was standing there in her usual suit.

The Head of Security who had been subjected to grueling torture and had her mind collapse by the Princess just a few days ago was gone.

She was regaining her calm and strict original expression.

If I tried to forcibly drag her to the park’s restroom now, she would probably subdue me instead.

However, I didn’t like the fact that her eyes, without sunglasses, were overly moist.

"... I swore allegiance to the Imperial Family, but Gilmon saved my life."

Livia took a step closer and lightly kissed the back of my hand.

I instinctively glanced at Aisha.

She flinched, but she didn’t scream or throw a chair.

She just quietly bit and released her lip.

"... I will never forget this grace. Gilmon, I will repay you no matter what. No matter how. I will do anything for you."
