The Beloved New Daughter-In-Law of the Wolf Mansion - Chapter 118

The next day, Deborah, the aide of the Hezeth family, came and took Cain.

 

“Bye! Cain!”

 

Leona smiled brightly and saw Cain off. Arsene and I saw Cain off, too.

 

And—

 

It was a week later when Leona returned to the Fernando mansion.

 

Leona said she didn’t want to go and wanted to stay longer, but Kendrick, who had to go to Fernando’s house, took her home.

 

After a long time, all the children went home, and it was just me and Arsene.

 

“Ugh, I’m really tired.”

 

“Me too…I’m really tired.”

 

Perhaps it was true that Arsene was tired because he kept dozing off.

 

“Arsene, Arsene, are you sleeping?”

 

In front of Arsene’s eyes, I gently shook his palm.

 

Arsene dozed off, slowly lifting his eyelids.

 

And after staring at my face for a long time, he leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep.

 

I gave my shoulder to Arsene and held Arsene’s hand tightly.

 

Even in his sleep, I could feel Arsene grabbing my hand.

 

‘You look very tired….’

 

It seems that it was because he was tired that he continued to be sensitive even after the first shapeshifting was released.

 

I tried to lay Arsene down so he could sleep more comfortably.

 

“…Ugh.”

 

“Eung? Are you awake?”

 

Arsene had to hold me because he shook his head and held me tight every time I moved.

 

‘Do you usually get tired this long after doing the first shapeshift?’

 

I looked back at my memory.

 

I can barely remember the last life, and this one—.

 

‘I dozed off in the carriage to Yeckhart, but I don’t think I was tired for days.’

 

‘Are the wolf clan different?’

 

I looked at Arsene, who was sleeping peacefully, with worried eyes.

 

Arsene seems to have been sluggish the past few days, so Kendrick asked Mr. Hern to take a good look at Arsene before going out.

 

“Looks like he’s very tired, so keep an eye on him, and if there’s anything wrong, pull this right away.”

 

Mr. Hern checked Arsene’s condition every time, as Kendrick instructed.

 

He said that the reason why Arsene keeps getting tired is because he put a lot of effort into making his first shapeshift.

 

‘So it’ll be fine.’

 

I put aside my worries about Arsene for a while and stared blankly into the quiet room.

 

After Leona and Cain went back, the mansion seemed strangely empty.

 

It seems that the vacancy for those children is quite large.

 

I fiddled with Arsene’s hand, then closed my eyes.

 

The sunlight was shining through the transparent glass windows.

 

It was a perfect day to take a nap.

 

***

 

It was already night when I woke up.

 

The moonlight was shining brightly in the room.

 

‘I must have been tired too…’

 

Seeing that I slept this long without waking up once.

 

The maids didn’t seem to wake me up at dinner when they saw me sleeping deeply.

 

I blinked slowly.

 

Arsene, who was lying next to me, was in his wolf form.

 

The maids seemed to have put Arsene and me to sleep comfortably, so we were lying side by side on the bed.

 

I looked at the little baby wolf in front of me and hugged it tightly in my arms.

 

However—.

 

“…Is the temperature high because of the fur?”

 

Arsene’s body seemed a little hot. Is it because he slept covered with a blanket?

 

No, it may be because young children have a high body temperature.

 

I came up with all kinds of thoughts and pointed at Arsene’s head.

 

However, since it was shapeshifting, it was difficult to tell whether it had a fever or not because of its fluffy fur.

 

“Arsene, Arsene…  wake up.”

 

I gently shook Arsene to wake him up. But Arsene didn’t wake up, perhaps because of a deep sleep.

 

Let’s hold Arsene tightly in our arms in a half-asleep state.

 

“…I think it’s hot?”

 

It wasn’t because the child’s body temperature was high by covering the blanket, but it seemed that he was having a fever because he was sick.

 

As soon as I noticed Arsene was sick, I was wide awake.

 

I opened my eyes wide and inspected the baby wolf in my arms.

 

“Arsene?”

 

I turned Arsene carefully and held him, rubbed his belly gently, and Arsen moved his limbs.

 

However.

 

“He breathes with his mouth open…”

 

With the exception of a few special clans, when beastmen breathe with their mouths open, it means that something is wrong with their bodies.

 

It means that the condition has gotten bad enough that the person needs to breathe through their mouth.

 

‘This is a problem.’

 

Even Kendrick wasn’t at the mansion today. It was because he said he would take Leona to the Fernando mansion and take care of things nearby.

 

Although he was anxious about leaving the mansion behind Arsene, who had just made his first shapeshift.

 

“I have something to look at, so I can’t help it. I’ll be right back instead.”

 

And he left the mansion.

 

But why today!

 

I came to my senses and quickly pulled the gold cord on the bed.

 

I pull at all costs, which Kendrick had just installed, if anything bad happens.

 

Ring, ring!

 

The bell rang through the mansion as soon as the gold cord was pulled.

 

The maids who woke up burst open the door of my room, looking disheveled.

 

I knelt down on the bed, holding Arsene in my arms and looking at the maids.

 

The person who had just woken up was, sure enough, Betty.

 

“Lady, what happened—?”

 

Betty asked in a voice that still sounded sleepy.

 

I lifted Arsene slightly in my arms, brought him close to my face, checked his body temperature, and said.

 

“I think Arsene is sick….”

 

“Yes?”

 

Betty’s eyes widened at my words. The same was true of Chloe and the other maids standing behind her.

 

Arsene being sick meant the whole Yeckhart mansion was in an emergency.

 

“I’ll bring Mr. Hern first!”

 

One of the maids rubbed her eyes and quickly disappeared to find Mr. Hern.

 

Chloe approached cautiously and placed a hand on Arsene’s forehead.

 

“He seems to have a fever, right?”

 

“Yes, he has a fever… Is it because of the first shapeshift…?”

 

Chloe looked at Arsene and then left the room saying she would make a wet towel.

 

Betty asked me to put Arsene to bed.

 

I nodded and put Arsene on the bed so that he could rest comfortably.

 

However.

 

“Kngg…”

 

Arsene groaned as if in great pain. The little wolf trembled with its paws.

 

As if breathing was still difficult, he was breathing with his mouth wide open and his tongue sticking out.

 

“Arsene, Arsene…”

 

I wanted to use my abilities on Arsene right away, but I held back.

 

‘Because Mr Hern hasn’t come yet…’

 

When Arsene’s illness got worse, I couldn’t use my ability without permission from Kendrick and Hern.

 

It was because my ability and Arsene’s illness collided for some reason.

 

‘Of course, it’s been fine so far, but…’

 

Arsene had hardly been sick in three years.

 

When he was sick, Mr Hern asked me to heal him with a little use of my ability.

 

As I said, I used my ability with caution.

 

It was a little less than when I was young, but when I treated Arsene, I felt like I was being sucked in.

 

After I explained that I felt that way, Mr Hern asked me not to treat Arsene with my ability without his permission.

 

So.

 

‘You’re  sick, but I can’t do anything for you…’

 

I looked sadly at the little gray wolf lying there.

 

Arsene’s breathing seemed to calm down when I grabbed the soft pink paws.

 

The maids brought wet towels and wiped Arsene’s body or fur.

 

The lights in Yeckhart’s mansion turned on brightly.

 

And not long after, Mr Hern came running quickly.

 

“Young Master, are you okay?”

 

When Mr Hern saw Arsene’s condition, he quickly examined him.

 

After examining Arsene’s condition with the stethoscope he brought, he used the ‘eye’ of the deer clan to observe the flow of his power.

 

“His ability has become unstable. It’s not because of the disease, but it’s probably because it’s it hasn’t been long since the first shapeshifting….”

 

Mr. Hern muttered.

 

“Then, should we just leave it alone?”

 

“If it wasn’t because of the Young Master’s ‘illness’, it would be right to leave it alone…”

 

Mr. Hern’s eyes shifted to Arsene, who was gasping for air.

 

Arsene was breathing hard as if he would run out of breath at any moment.

 

‘I don’t think I can just leave it alone.’

 

I looked up at Mr Hern with a nervous expression.

 

And fortunately, Mr. Hern seemed to have the same opinion as me.

 

He looked at Arsene for a while, then turned his gaze to me.

 

“Lady’s ability is… very stable. I think you can use your power.”

 

As soon as Mr Hern gave permission, I hugged Arsene tightly.

 

Even though I could use my powers by just touching his palm.

 

‘I want to do this.’

 

I opened my eyes, holding Arsene, who was panting in pain, tightly in her arms.

 

And I use my power.

 

A light green light spread from the palms of Arsene’s arms.

 

And not long after, a light green light flowed through Arsene’s entire body.

 

It seemed that it was because I was holding Arsene with my whole body. I opened my eyes more clearly and focused on using my power.

 

‘I feel like I’m being sucked in…’

 

It’s usually like that, but it was exceptionally worse today. I felt a cold sweat forming on my forehead.

 

“Lady, don’t overdo it…!”

 

Mr. Hern tried to stop me, but I shook my head.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

Still, this was fine.

 

Because I have a much stronger ability than when I was seven years old.

 

‘So it’ll be okay if I’m absorbed a little by Arsene.’

 

I kept sending my power through the body of the little wolf.

 

Maybe because I used a lot of power, red wings came out from behind me and tore my pajamas.

 

The maids were looking anxiously at the figure.

 

Then Arsene squinted his eyes.

 

Our eyes met the clear and transparent wall like a lake.
