As the bandages were peeled off, something seemed strange.
Contrary to the doctor's words that his wound was deep, it was almost healed, and only a trace of the injury remained.
The face that had been pale just a moment ago was now full of life.
And even the faint humming can be heard.
As he got up from his seat and left the infirmary, Carsis's steps were lighter than ever.
Meanwhile, Ellie, who had returned to her room, was resting for a while, lying on the sofa.
I had been out of energy for a long time, thanks to running around the mansion looking for a medical room.
“Before I know where I am, I need to build up my stamina first.”
Maybe it was because I was a noble young lady. I felt like I lost energy even with the slightest movement.
As I was patting my shoulder, there was a knock on the door.
“Miss, this is Jenna.”
“Come in.”
As the door opened, a maid with dark red hair came in.
'Who is it?'
It was a face I was seeing for the first time.
Because the only one who always took care of me was May.
But judging from the familiar attitude of the maid, she was definitely a maid who frequented this room, not just May.
I nodded as naturally as possible.
"What's the matter?"
Then, a maid named Jena came close to me and handed me something.
“What is that?”
What came out of the maid's sleeve was a small note.
The maid handed it to me, lowering her voice.
“It’s about ‘that thing.’”
“If that’s the case...”
Of course, I, who had no idea what 'that thing' was, looked around and trailed off.
“It’s the young lady’s wedding.”
I, who had been listening tensely to the maid's solemn attitude, wondering if there was something more serious that I didn't know about, let out a low breath as if my tension had eased at the mention of marriage.
'What? Then why didn't you just say it was a wedding from the beginning? Why are you acting like you're telling a big secret? You're making people nervous for no reason.'
I grumbling inwardly, accepted the note.
'Marriage with the Crown Prince.'
If he was the Crown Prince of a country where such rotten things were rampant, I would know what kind of man he was without even having to look into it.
'He must be a troublemaker, whether you ask me or not.'
It might have been a bit hasty to label the Crown Prince, whose face I had never even met, as a problem child.
However, if the upper water is clear, the lower water will also be clear.
Looking at the behavior of the nobles, it was obvious that the imperial family was already in a state of ruin.
'And I'm the one who's going to get married into that rotten pus.'
I let out a sigh of self-pity and opened the note. But.
'Uh?'
My eyes began to shake violently as I looked down at the black letters written on the white paper.
'What.'
I blinked several times, thinking maybe there was some dust in my eyes and tried to read the writing again, but the result was the same.
'Crazy.'
Soon, even my hands holding the paper began to tremble slightly.
The maid, who had been looking at me like that with a puzzled look, asked cautiously.
“Miss, is there a problem?”
“Huh? Huh, ah, no? It’s nothing.”
I smiled as if nothing had happened, but cold sweat ran down the back of my neck.
'It's nothing, asshole.'
Although I appeared calm on the outside, inside I was a mess.
Because.
'I'm blind!'
I couldn't read the writing.
I swallowed a curse inside.
Oh my God.
It's frustrating not knowing where this world is, but not even knowing how to write.
'Wasn't it true that if you were originally in a book, you would automatically get a language buff?'
When I first opened my eyes, I had no problem communicating, so I assumed that I had at least some language patch.
'Are you crazy?'
The person who will become the Duchess of the Empire, no, the Crown Princess.
Does it make sense to not be able to read?
Contrary to the doctor's words that his wound was deep, it was almost healed, and only a trace of the injury remained.
The face that had been pale just a moment ago was now full of life.

'Are you crazy?'
The person who will become the Duchess of the Empire, no, the Crown Princess.
Does it make sense to not be able to read?
I began to deny the reality unfolding before my eyes.
"Miss?"
“Huh, huh?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
If people find out that I can't read now...
I shook my head at the dizzying future that was roughly drawn.
“Yes, it’s okay...”
What's so great about it...! Right now, what are you going to say in response to this note!
I tried to open my eyes wide and decipher the letter, but it was no use.
“How should we proceed?”
“Huh? Oh, um... Okay. This seems okay. Let’s continue like this.”
"All right."
'I don't know what it is, but let's just say it's good.'
In the end, she thoughtlessly answered, "Let it be."
'What, would you die because you made one mistake?'
Since she said it was related to a wedding, it would have to do with the event.
Besides, since it was an imperial event, whoever prepared it would have taken care of it well. Even if one or two things went wrong, it wouldn't be a big problem.
It was while I was trying hard to comfort myself.
"Miss."
The maid, who I thought would leave right away, suddenly knelt down in front of me and kissed the back of my hand.
“Everything is according to your will.”
I swallowed without realizing it at the maid's words, which seemed so desperate.
'No way. Was it something really important...?'
I almost went back on my words and said I would think about it again.
The maid stood up and left a deep kiss on the back of my hand as if swearing an oath to her master.
“Then, I will make sure to handle it without any mistakes.”
“Huh? Oh, yes. I’ll believe you.”
I was momentarily worried by the maid's unnecessarily serious appearance but soon shook my head.
Yeah, well. Since it's a national wedding, it must have a different meaning for everyone. You can't make that decision.
I didn't lose my natural smile until the maid left.
Of course, it came crashing down with the sound of the door closing.
“I’m blind.”
It was absolutely ridiculous.
The wedding is just around the corner.
If I become the Crown Princess in this state...
I again shook my head as if imagining a terrible future.
“Let me see if there’s anyone who doesn’t have as many icebreaker buffs as I do.”
Even if I were possessed as an extra whose name doesn't appear in the book, I would still be able to read.
Not only that, if you watch a typical possession story, even the most ordinary extras will know the name of the book they are possessed by.
“What is this? It’s about self-survival!”
If you're not going to give any buffs, at least give some healing items!
In this world where survivability is required to the max, how can you survive without any buffs?
I let out a silent scream.
“Found it! The library!”
A few days ago, while I was wandering around the mansion, I stumbled upon the library.
At that time, I was so busy looking for a restaurant that I just passed it by.
I never thought I'd find myself looking for a place I thought I'd never have much reason to go to.
As soon as I entered the library, I went to the nearest bookshelf and picked out a random book. But.
“I have no problem conversing, so reading is quick too... Huh?”
It was truly a strange thing.
“The writing is readable...?”
When I saw the letters the maid gave me, I clearly couldn't read a single one.
Amazingly, the writing is now readable.
I rubbed my eyes to see if I was dreaming and looked again, but it was the same.
"...What?"
Just in case, I pulled out all the books around me and read them.
As if I had never been able to read, I had no difficulty interpreting the sentences.
“I can read it all.”
I closed the book and thought back to what had happened earlier.
“I had no idea what you were talking about.”
So what was the note the maid handed me a little while ago?
I, who was thinking deeply, suddenly remembered something new.
“Come to think of it. Was the original writing on the paper like this?”
Although both were unfamiliar languages, they were clearly different from the writing on the paper the maid had handed her.
“I think it had more geometric patterns written on it... Hmm...”
"Miss?"
“Huh, huh?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
If people find out that I can't read now...
I shook my head at the dizzying future that was roughly drawn.
“Yes, it’s okay...”
