When Karl opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

The morning sun shines on the table through the curtains. Under the sunlight, the dust floats, and the sky is like a piece of transparent blue crystal, spotless.

The sunny weather always makes people feel extraordinarily good. Even Karl, who just opened his eyes, feels that yesterday's fatigue has subsided, replaced by a long-lost refreshment.

"hiss……"

Although he was conscious, but because the glands were marked, when Karl stood up from the bed, he felt a pain in the back of his neck from being bitten. He raised his hand to touch the glands, and found that although the appearance was the same There was no difference, but Karl could still smell the faint aroma of wine lingering in front of his nose.

Karl originally wanted to get out of bed, but when he pulled the quilt covering his body, he realized that there was a figure lying prone in front of the bed. Watched all night.

Sensing Karl's movements, Cromway, who had developed a professional habit, woke up. Seeing that Karl had stood up and wanted to get off the bed, Cromway rubbed his eyes.

"you're awake?"

"Um……"

Karl nodded, his eyes that had been scrambling in the air due to nervousness stopped on the other party's neck.

"...are you injured?"

Looking at the bandage exposed from Cromway's collar, Karl asked quickly.

"Small injury, it's okay."

Cromway looked calm and spoke calmly, but asked Karl.

"How do you feel now, is there any discomfort?"

Seeing Karl shaking his head, Cromway's expression eased, as if he was relieved at this moment, and stepped forward to help Karl get off the bed.

Because Karl wanted to change into clean clothes, Cromway left the infirmary first, and Karl was the only one left in the room for a while.

While Carl changes, the morning news is playing on the kiosk in the room.

In the news, they were talking about the fact that the Imperial Legion dispatched troops yesterday to blow up the base of the "Snow Wolf" Star Thief Corps, which had been causing trouble all around. He couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes because of the empire's removal of the cancer, and what was shown on the screen were the photos of Cromway and the Allengar Legion shuttling through the flames of war.

... Before the marshal came to see him, did he act alone as a lure and go to attract firepower?No wonder it hurts.

While listening to the news, Karl changed his clothes, and his heart was both sweet and sour. The sweetness was because Cromway was so attached to himself, and would save himself from danger every time. The sourness was because he thought of Cromway’s wounds. .

"Carl, are you ready?"

Seeing that Carl hadn't come out for a long time, Cromway knocked lightly on the door.

"All right."

After receiving an affirmative answer from Karl, Cromway opened the door and walked into the room.

Carl had already put on the new clothes brought by Cromway at this time. It was a white and blue baseball uniform with a hood. It looked a little too big on Carl, and it looked loose, wrapping him tightly. Reality.

But it's just right, just right to cover the bite mark on the back of the neck.

Karl thought to himself.

"breakfast."

When Cromway walked into the room again, there was an extra bag in his hand, which contained the breakfast he had just ordered from the college cafeteria, two chicken buns with mushrooms, two deep-fried dough sticks, and a boiled egg , and two bowls of black rice porridge.

"Thank you."

After receiving the steaming breakfast from the other party, Karl thanked the other party repeatedly.

Seeing that Cromway handed him the only boiled egg, Carl waved his hand quickly.

"I'm full, no need, you can eat this boiled egg."

After breakfast, seeing that Karl's condition had stabilized, and after getting a positive answer from the school doctor and a promise from the school to investigate the matter thoroughly, Cromway was about to return to the military headquarters. Before he left, Karl stopped him.

"Marshal Cromway!"

Cromway turned around, his icy blue eyes looked at him through the morning light, Karl's heart froze, and he felt unreasonable heart palpitations.

"That...have you treated the wound on your body? Do you need me to treat it for you...?"

Carl said, feeling the abruptness of his words, his voice gradually lowered.

"It's been dealt with."

As Karl expected, Cromway refused, but he was not discouraged, and continued to ask, even with a bit of stubbornness in his words.

"But the dressing needs to be changed. It's been a day and a night now. Your wound is on your back, and it's hard to deal with it yourself. Why don't you leave after I finish treating the wound for you."

Seeing that Carl mustered up his courage and looked up at himself, his eyes were full of firmness and stubbornness, Cromway's eyes moved, and he finally compromised.

"Ah."

In the ward, Cromway sat with his back to Karl. He took off his cloak and took off one sleeve of his jacket, revealing the scars on his neck and back.

I saw a scar running through Cromway's back and neck, like a clinging scarlet centipede. Because it was a fresh injury, and because it was left by a high-heat shell passing by, the flesh next to the wound was turned outwards. It has been simplified, but it still looks terrifying.

Moreover, under this most eye-catching scar, there are countless dark red scars. Although those scars have turned crimson over time and are no longer noticeable, the pain behind these scars, Karl just Looking at it, it seems to be able to empathize.

Although he had already expected it in his heart, when he actually saw the scars on Cromway's body, Karl still felt as if something had hit his heart, a burst of horror and stinging pain.

"scared you?"

"No... no."

In order to keep Cromway from worrying about himself, Carl hurriedly said. At the same time, he took a deep breath, stopped the trembling of his hands, found the needed medicine from the medicine cabinet beside him, stained it with a cotton swab, and carefully He helped Cromway get the medicine.

"I'm starting to take medicine. If it hurts too much, please remember to tell me."

Hearing Cromway's low reply, Carl stretched out his hand and gently applied the medicine in his hand to Cromway's wound.

When applying the medicine, Carl was always cautious, worried that his heavy hand would make the other person feel uncomfortable, but on the other hand, as the person being given the medicine, Cromway did not say a word, as quiet as a mountain.

"All right."

After carefully applying the medicine to every part of the wound and wrapping it up with a bandage, Karl threw away the cotton swab in his hand, and at the same time did not forget to warn Cromway.

"I know you are busy with business every day, but no matter how busy you are, you must not forget to change your medicine on time."

When he said this, Carl had a serious face and puffy cheeks, like a puffer fish that has only been irritated.

Seeing that Cromway put on the coat that was put aside and responded in a deep voice, Karl seemed to be relieved, and a smile appeared on his small face.

After watching Cromway board the Olympus, it was noon, and it was time to take medicine again, so Karl went back to the ward and obediently took the medicine.

Carl had just swallowed the potion, and his brows were frowned because of the bitterness, but the door was pushed open from the outside, and it was Chris, Fanny, and Ig who hurried into the room.

"Carl, are you okay?"

"We heard that you were framed and trapped in the simulation area, and you just happened to be in heat, are you alright now?"

"I heard that if the symptoms are severe during the estrus period, if you don't receive alpha's comfort in time, you will have a high fever, leave sequelae and even die!"

……

Seeing that Chris and Fanny rushed in front of him the first time they rushed into the infirmary, especially Chris, who kept mumbling and asking questions, while looking him up and down, as if he was afraid. He lost a piece of meat, and Karl couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

"Of course I'm fine, otherwise how can I stand here and talk to you now?"

"That's right..."

Hearing Carl's somewhat helpless words, Chris felt relieved as if she had just woken up from a dream, and stopped examining Carl.

"I heard that people are prone to lack of nutrition when recovering from a serious illness. I heard that there is a kind of fruit food on the ancient earth, which is rich in vitamin C, which can promote wound healing, tissue repair, and replenish water. So I I brought some here, which are citrus, misty peach, strawberry and papaya, I don’t know which one you like, Carl, so I cut some of them and made them into a platter.”

Fanny behind Chris came forward, and she handed the fruit plate to Carl.Carl took it, looked at the colorful, sweet, juicy and appetizing food inside, and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Fanny, for letting you spend."

"fine."

Seeing Karl looking at her with apologetic eyes, Fanny waved her hand and said in a soft voice:

"I picked these from my family's manor. They were cultivated by our own family. How expensive they are, as long as you don't dislike them."

Feeling the enthusiasm of the little friends surrounding him, Karl felt warm in his heart, and felt that he was extremely happy to be loved by others.

Chris and Fanny chattered around Karl for a long time, and when both of them said they were tired, they found a chair and sat down. Igger, who had been standing behind them just now, hesitated to step forward and said, :

"...I'm sorry, but I wasn't angry with you before."

As if feeling embarrassed, Ig stared down at the toe of the shoe from the beginning to the end, rubbing the corner of his clothes with his fingertips, making the hem of the clothes crumpled.

"I know I said a lot of things before, even if you don't forgive me, it is reasonable, but I still want to apologize to you..."

As Ige spoke, he paused, as if mustering up his courage, he bent down and bowed deeply to Carl.

"sorry."

After bending down, Yige didn't get up. After a while, seeing that there was still no sound coming from around, thinking that Karl was unwilling to forgive himself, Yige felt sad for a while, but when his heart was sour, his hands She put it on his shoulders and helped him up.

"I really didn't care about your feelings at the time."

"Besides, I was never mad at you from the beginning to the end."

When Ige stood up, he happened to meet Carl's smiling eyes. Carl smiled slightly, and there was no resentment in his crescent-like eyes.

Before the hospital bed, the two friends let go of their past suspicions, but smiled and wiped away their grievances.

***

After the previous suspicions were cleared up, the four friends quickly returned to their previous relationship.

After listening to Carl's description of the situation at that time, the faces of the three friends were full of indignation.Especially Yige, he couldn't believe that someone would attack his classmates, and he did it when Carl wanted to help him. Yige was filled with righteous indignation and cursed in anger.

"...You actually did it when you wanted to save him. Does this guy, Solo, have any conscience?"

"I don't think this guy deserves to be human at all!"

Iggy said angrily, and spat out loudly.

Chris and Fanny were also extremely angry when they heard the words, but they still managed to suppress the anger in their hearts with reason.

"Carl, have you talked to the marshal about this? Make sure he gets justice for you." Chris asked.

"not yet."

Carl shook his head.

"But it's impossible for me to rely on him for everything. The marshal has been busy with official duties recently, and I'm embarrassed to always trouble him because of my own affairs."

Even though he said that, Carl didn't know yet. In fact, before leaving, Cromway had already told the school to find the video in the simulation area, find out who put Carl in danger, and find the exact evidence .

"It's all my fault. If I were in the same dormitory as you at that time, maybe you wouldn't have encountered such a thing."

Yige said, frowning, looking very annoyed.

"but……"

Iggy said, smelling the faint scent of rum lingering on Carl's body from such a close distance, Iggy was a little puzzled.

"Aren't you a non-drinker? Why does your body smell like wine..."

He didn't think about this sentence at first, but after Yige finished speaking, he realized it belatedly. The three friends looked at each other, as if they immediately understood what happened.

Yige, who came back to his senses, widened his eyes.

"The marshal marked it for you?"

"Um……"

Karl nodded, but his cheeks flushed like cherry blossoms because of embarrassment.

"...is a temporary marker."

Seeing the three of them staring at him like torches, Carl added in a low voice.

"Huh... that's okay."

Yige seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"If you want to remove the temporary mark in the future, you only need to find a regular hospital, and it is relatively easy to remove it."

"Um……"

Hearing Yige's kind reminder, Carl nodded, but recalled that Cromway rushed over to appease him immediately after completing such a dangerous mission for himself yesterday, his thoughts drifted away, but a feeling rose in his heart. An indescribable love and warmth.

Because Cromway showed up in person, the school, which was already inextricably linked with the military, naturally accelerated its review. Therefore, the day after the students returned to the Imperial Headquarters, the results of the investigation were posted on the school's bulletin board. Out——The video clearly shows that it was Thoreau who set the fire.

According to the regulations, the original overtime score will be cleared, but now that the truth is revealed, Carl's score will naturally be retained and displayed again.

But because he was in a coma in the later stage, the difference between Carl and No.2 was made up, so he tied for the first place in the ranking with the previous No.2 students.

After the school had the exact evidence, it immediately notified the relevant judicial department of the empire and arrested Thoreau.

It's just that when Thoreau was arrested, the other party was acting crazy for a while, and it took a lot of effort from the law enforcement officers to successfully arrest him.

And because of his strange behavior, Thoreau was sent to the psychiatric department after he was arrested, and underwent a mental examination. The results of the examination really showed that he had mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, and this was likely to become his mental illness. indicator of punishment.

The night before Thoreau was taken away by relevant departments, because of doubts in his heart, Carl decided to see him again before the other party was taken away.

Because of Marshal Cromway's oral order, it is very convenient for Karl to enter and exit.

Although Karl didn't want to enjoy privileges as a family member of Marshal Cromway, it had to be said that sometimes, these identities could save a lot of unnecessary talk.

Because Thoreau's mental condition was not stable, he was temporarily detained alone in a closed small room, not far away from guards and doctors to prevent him from doing any extreme behavior.

Carl stood on the iron railing outside the room and looked in, and saw Thoreau sitting on a dilapidated wooden chair, his eyes were blank, looking like a puppet whose soul had been taken out.

"His Royal Highness Karl, his spirit is not stable. If you have any problems, please press this pager, and we will rush to protect you."

Worried about Karl being hurt by revenge, the guard in the room introduced Karl.

"OK, thanks."

Karl nodded, and the guard who guarded him gave Karl a slight salute, then turned to close the door and backed out.

"Why did you do this, because I am Marshal Cromway's fiancée?"

Looking at Thoreau in the room, Carl took a breath and asked in a deep voice.

"……Yes!"

After seeing Karl, Thoreau, who had blank eyes, suddenly became violent, and shouted at Karl through the iron gate:

"I just can't bear the look of your aloofness. You are no different from us, but you pretend to be different and noble. I just can't see you hypocrites!"

Thoreau roared, his eyes as red as those of a beast.

He recalled his father, the man who was praised by everyone. Many officials and even the common people praised him, saying that he had the noble character of a scholar-bureaucrat in the ancient earth.But in private, he is very contemptuous of himself and his mother, and his actions are beating and scolding furiously. He will point to his nose, saying that his own existence has ruined his name, so he connives at the bullying of his brothers .

"you're right."

Thoreau looked crazy, and even grabbed the railing of the room and screamed at himself, but Karl was not afraid, he just took a breath.

"It is true that no one is more noble than another."

"You just take yourself lightly in your heart first."

Hearing Karl's words, Thoreau's expression froze, but Karl's expression remained calm.

Knowing that it was impossible to ask anything from the other party, Karl didn't stay any longer, but turned around and walked out.

The iron door made a "squeak" sound and was closed again. As the door was closed, the sunlight outside the room was also isolated at the same time.In the room, Thoreau's original arrogant expression was like a withered flower, and he gradually became cold and lonely, and a tear fell from his eye socket.

Although Thoreau was brought to justice, Carl didn't feel the slightest joy because of it, but became more and more heavy.

From the beginning to the end, Carl has been pressing a doubt in his heart, that is, Thoreau still wants to attack himself despite the risk of being imprisoned, is it really just because of his relationship with Cromway?After all, before this, I had never seen the other party at all.

Karl believes that Thoreau was probably instigated by someone and used as a gun. After all, he suffers from mental illness. , no one will care too much.

Although he was worried, Karl thought about it, but he still couldn't find a good enough reason, and recalling the last time the rumor turmoil, Karl always felt that the matter had no end, but he held it high and lightly. Falling made him feel very uneasy.

Moreover, what worries Carl even more is that the person who instigated Thoreau behind his back is well versed in people's hearts. If he regards himself as the weakness of Marshal Cromway, what will he do then?

Thinking of this, Karl secretly made up his mind that he must make himself stronger. Only in this way could Cromway not be distracted or worried about himself.

After a turbulent week, the weekend finally ushered in.

Because so many things happened last week, both Cromway and Karl were exhausted, so this weekend, the two planned to take a good rest.

Thinking of the hideous scars on Cromway's body, although his heart was exhausted, Carl searched the star network a lot during the day on Saturday, and finally found a recipe for the ancient earth, cooked a pot of delicious bone soup, and planned to Give Cromway a boost.

Originally, Karl was thinking of making a sumptuous meal for the other party at night, but seeing that Karl was busy preparing, washing, and frying vegetables to prepare the meal at noon, Cromway Feeling sorry that he had just passed the estrus period, he stopped him from continuing to work hard, but decided to take him out to eat out and eat ready-made meals.

Cromway drove the shuttle and brought Karl to a restaurant in the CBD area of ​​the capital of the empire.

"...It's too expensive."

Although looking at the magnificent and luxurious decoration outside the restaurant and the uniformly moving welcome lady, Karl already had some expectations in his heart, but when he got the menu and saw the expensive price on it, Karl couldn't help but click his tongue.

Karl originally thought to forget it otherwise, after all, this price is enough to eat seven or eight meals in an ordinary restaurant, but when he saw that Cromway beside him had already ordered the meal while he was in a daze, Karl immediately I had no choice but to stuff the words of rejection back into my throat.

Forget it, let it be a celebration and a small indulgence for the rest of your life.

Carl comforted himself in his heart.

Although there were many customers because it was a rest day, the service of the restaurant was very good, and the food was served before the two of them had to wait long.

"I ordered the dish you said you wanted to eat before, try it."

Bringing the food to Karl, Cromway said slowly.

After just one mouthful of food, Carl's eyes lit up suddenly, and he applauded:

"Mmm... delicious!"

Although Karl feels sorry for Cromway's wallet, I have to say that the dishes made by this restaurant are indeed worthy of its reputation. It makes people feel pleasing to the eye, and feels that only a few more bowls of rice can be worthy of such beautiful dishes.

Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, Carl, who was still heartbroken by the price just now, ate what was on the table just now in just ten minutes.

In the end, touching his full belly, he raised his eyes to find that Cromway had already finished the food in the bowl, and was looking up at himself. When he thought that the appearance of his cooking just now was being seen by the other party, Karl immediately I couldn't help but blushed, feeling very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Cromway didn't say anything, but reached out and gently wiped off a grain of rice stuck to the corner of Carl's mouth with the napkin in his hand.

When the waiter cleared away the empty bowls and chopsticks on the table, Cromway went to pay the bill, and Carl sat obediently on his seat and waited for him to come back.
