I happened to come across a young nobleman who looked like he had lost his way. Pretending not to notice, I turned away. I couldn’t afford to attract attention, especially since I was hiding.9760048fe35d2504

The request to become a maidservant was absurd, but it was the word “prince” that really caught me off guard. Diana was already attracting a great deal of attention from the nobles, and her presence had distorted the judgment of many due to the constant flattery she received.dffc62eec0c3e822

I pushed Joshua forcefully as he clung to me, and naturally, he tumbled over. It wasn’t intentional, but the spot where he fell happened to be on a wide road paved with stones. A few drops of blood quickly formed on his delicate knees.7d001a2b9c1045e5

Until that moment, I 3102ced78a had been glaring at 804d6f5479 the kid with determination. I was a bit 7f7335c7c9 scared because of the c833368a29 blood, but honestly, I 0a91fa927b felt a sense of b6ba74aa28 relief.dc765ba69790b8b6

Why would someone grab a perfectly fine person and insist on making them their maidservant? That’s why I couldn’t help but resent and envy Joshua, who could act so confidently.30b5816944aaba66

He was a 6be0663ffa complete stranger, but cabbdb846e I envied him ec544c145f to the point eab8308873 of madness. He had a home 5337e984f9 to return to, parents, 1de13486fc and the privilege to a749501b25 command others as a 64a4427e20 noble.417f56874c8b2a6c

With a bright smile, Joshua made the promise to me. Of course, it was a lie. I wouldn’t find out until three years later that as soon as he returned, he told my story to his family. I had lied to Joshua as well. I had promised to heal him swiftly but ended up fleeing when the maidservant arrived.283fb12e63bb78a8

It was a question directed 5f3cc65a6c at the Duke, but he 0555f306ea readily agreed, allowing me to 21dae20977 touch Joshua, despite the watchful 8784bf0864 gazes of those around us.

I felt perplexed. How should I handle this situation? To explain Joshua’s condition, I would inevitably have to mention my healing ability, but in this life, I had decided to hide it as much as possible. Moreover, even without revealing the healing aura, explaining the cause of death was a challenge.5f043b18b46f8d8a

Joshua’s chronic illness was primarily the inability for blood to stop flowing from wounds. So, in the previous life, he most likely died from blood loss due to the constant open wounds.e9f22c2c81e4d75e

However, the actual cause of his death had been cardiac arrest. In this life as well as the previous one, everyone had probably focused on healing Joshua’s wounds to make him feel better, but it was not a fundamental solution.fba32bf481aae27d

Every time a wound 95fa099e2e occurred, his heart had 6dc4d7f1bf to work excessively to b4d456b43c supply the lacking blood, a266f00aa5 which resulted in the dcc7efde34 weakening of his heart.6c3a19bd239707d6

Joshua’s heart must have gradually weakened due to his chronic illness. However, no one had been aware of this fact, and he had tragically passed away without anyone realizing it.040cb40784ef19db
