However, Nadasdi, who was completely unable to speak, could only nodded his head slightly as a greeting.
Is it the neck’s turn today?
At every moment, the fear of losing consciousness in some parts of his body hung over Nadasdi's head.
The disease has progressed to this point, and Nadasdi's tongue and lips feel as if they are frozen, making it difficult to speak.
Now he can only move his eyelids.
Presumably, it is only a matter of time before I lose the ability to breathe.
Such a painful life is truly life worse than death. Every day of living is torture, and the soul seems to be bound in the body.
It's a pity that Nadasidi can't even commit suicide now.
Mental restraint can torture a person's heart more than physical imprisonment.
Fortunately, Nadasdi can still see and hear information from the outside world.
There is still the last trace of communication left with this world.
"'Good morning, Eliza.' Ferenz used to say hello to me like this every day."
As she spoke, Elizabeth propped up Nadasdi's body and leaned it against the back of the bed.
"Do you think so now? I almost never replied to your greetings before."
Then she said helplessly:
"However, for a guy like you, the first thing that comes to your mind every day is probably to say hello."
Elizabeth showed a sweet smile in front of Nadasdy.
"Okay, what do you want for breakfast? If you want soup, just blink your eyes. If you want oatmeal, just blink twice."
Nadasidi closed his eyes slightly.
"Ah, no, you can't eat from me."
Elizabeth stretched out her index finger and touched it to Nadasdi's lips.
However, Nadasdi still closed his eyes tightly and said nothing.
"..."
The bright expression on Elizabeth's face quickly dimmed, and she turned around and pushed the dining cart that had been pushed into the room aside.
Then he gently leaned on Nadasidi's chest.
"No...it's not okay to not eat anything..."
"Don't abandon me..."
****************
That was Elizabeth's last 'interaction' with Nadasty.
Since then, Count Nadasti has been unable to move his head. He can only lie on the bed with his eyes closed all day long. No one knows whether he is still conscious.
Every servant in the castle felt that the count was just a breathing corpse.
Only Elizabeth still believed that Nadasdi was still listening to every move of the outside world.
She would still come to Nadasdi's bed every day and tell him everything that happened in the castle.
I will still insist on saying hello to Nadasdi in the morning every day.
Looking at Nadasdi's face, she could always recall many things.
"Paul is also engaged today. I heard Turso said it was your arrangement. But he doesn't seem to be like you. He has no interest in his fiancée at all. He is completely different from how you were before."
"At that time, your eyes seemed to be only looking at me. To be honest, I was scared by you... Well, even though I later learned that you were not a bad person, I was still a little scared."
"Oh~, Paul is completely different. He still thinks about playing all day long. Maybe when he grows up, he will be more like your character."
"Can you still open your eyes now?"
"..."
"If you can, you will definitely open your eyes and look at me, right?"
"After all, you can't find another such a beautiful wife in Hungary, no, in the whole world."
"Hey, are you listening?"
"If you have such a perfect wife like me, you must praise her every day. Otherwise, you will be too overbearing. Don't you think so?"
"..."
"Frentz, I really want to hear it. Can you say it again?"
"You won't leave such a perfect wife, right?"
**********
There are rumors in the country that the commander-in-chief of Transdanubia, Count Nadasdi, who is also a servant, is possessed by a demon.
Therefore, although he won the battle, he failed to regain the lost ground and fell seriously ill.
Even the servants in Chakdis City began to avoid Nadasdi's room.
But Elizabeth didn't take it to heart and continued to sit by Nadasdi's bed all day long.
**********
Gray light shone through the tall and small windows in the castle, illuminating the dim room.
"Frenz, it's snowing today. It also snowed in Hungary last year, and the weather has become unexpectedly cold in recent years."
“I wonder if it will snow next year————”
Elizabeth's words suddenly stopped as usual.
She held her breath, and there was silence in the room, except for the sound of the wind that was still howling outside the window.
The breathing sound that could prove Nadasidi's last existence also disappeared.
Elizabeth could no longer fake a smile on her face and threw herself into Nadasdy's arms and began to sob.
He didn't like to see Elizabeth cry, so Elizabeth always tried to remain optimistic in front of Nadasty.
But it doesn't matter now.
"fraud----"
**********
Count Nadasty passed away.
But due to another rumor, very few nobles and commoners came to express their condolences.
Another 'rumor' that is more terrifying and true than the devil.
Dozens of girls living around the city of Chakdis have disappeared, and the murderer is the widowed countess. This chapter has been completed!
