Sidd was called up by Kairos in less than 30 minutes.
I stand impatiently waiting in Kairos’ office, hands behind my back, waiting for my master to open his mouth to speak.
No, more precisely, it was as if I was waiting for him to speak first, while Sidd was brainstorming trying to think of what to say.
The master loves the prisoner.
‘really? Isn’t this just a misunderstanding from Emelta? The master falls in love. He was already a failed, even very helpless human being.’
To think that Kairos Hadid and the word love can come together in one sentence.
That was really “unexpected in this world”.
After hearing Emelta’s words, the whole picture seemed to become clear.
‘ah, then. That’s why he was sensitive.’
Just in case, I didn’t tell him that when the lady went to the Imperial Palace and came back, she was riding in a carriage belonging to a man named Dylan Banker, not a public carriage. I thought that if he knew about it, he might actually explode.
I thought this was something that didn’t warrant reporting in the first place…
I just don’t want to keep making him angry.
But it seems that all his anger lately was because he wanted to see the lady.
Although Emelta was a bit difficult, she wasn’t the type to talk unfounded, so I trusted her greatly.
In fact, when one of my colleagues needed relationship advice, I would usually go to Imelta.
‘ah, that’s right’
A malicious smile appeared on the corners of Sidd’s mouth.
“dam.”
“yes, sir.”
“I heard the documents for the yard are missing.”
“wrestlers documents? Can’t… Ah, I’ll check it out and come back soon.”
“Go yourself and get it back.”
“what? Now?”
Dinner time is approaching…
But Sidd did not hesitate and immediately bowed, overtime was confirmed.
“yes, I’ll go immediately.”
“and on your way back, be sure to check the wrestlers’ indoor arena to see if there are any problems.”
“ah, yes!”
Sadd responded enthusiastically, waiting for the next word.
It didn’t look like Kairos’ tightly closed mouth would open again, but his eyes held a very worried look.
He must have intended to say something else, but he remained silent.
He raised his eyebrows towards Kairos.
But the answer was silence.
Were you wrong? Or is that just a feeling?
“Well, I will immediately go check and make sure everything is delivered by tomorrow morning.”
Kairos, who was silent, suddenly changed his facial expression and wiped his eyebrows with his index finger.
“and also.”
“yes?”
“while you go to DC.”
“yes.”
Silence fell again.
What was he going to say?
Sed waited while the angle of his mouth dropped slightly.
“….Check Heisel’s wounds to see if they are serious.”
For a moment, Sidd almost burst out laughing.
It seemed like you had the main idea in your mind as well.
I heard he asked me to check quickly, but it was clear that he wanted me to check carefully.
Looks like Emelta was really right.
Sadd suppressed his laugh.
“yes! I will go to the hotel myself and check well and inform you! Wouldn’t it be better to bring a doctor too?”
“do as you see fit.”
“yes.”
The moment I leaned over and turned around, the conversation I had with Imelta passed through my mind.
“ah, sir.”
Sadd turned quickly.
“what?”
“that… I gave you last week’s entire report today, but if you don’t mind, why don’t you go yourself and check on Mrs. Hazel’s wounds?”
Kairos’ features changed slightly, barely noticeable.
Perhaps no one else noticed, but Sidd, who had been by his master’s side for a long time, noticed this subtle difference.
Oh.
“why should I?”
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. Hasn’t it already been a week since I went to DC? So maybe Mrs. Heisel feels that the master’s affection has faded… Won’t you think about that?”
“…..”
“Maybe she may feel insecure and question your affection, and maybe think about other things because she is not used to this situation. At this moment, you can go and get her heart back without even noticing! Of course, this is also for work.”
Sidd was excited and started gossiping.
“is not bad.”
Kairos’s expression began to calm down slightly, but Sidd remembered something and added apologetically.
“Ah, but since you don’t know she’s infected, if she leaves suddenly, you might raise suspicions.”
“….”
Kairos’ facial features were slightly deviated.
“So what about this?”
“what?”
“sir, go with a surprise gift. For example, a simple dessert or lunch box? Didn’t Nigla worry a little that she didn’t seem to like the hotel food lately?”
“I did.”
“I don’t think she’ll find it strange if you say you cooked it because you remembered her. While my master is at the hotel, I will go to the gladiator arena and check well!”
“lunch box…”
“Of course, if you find it annoying, you can come back immediately.”
“it’s okay, I can give that much generosity. Just because I’m free.”
Sadd responded, raising his head as high as possible.
“yeah, I said that because I thought about it too. How about arranging lunch or dinner tomorrow? I’ll tell Nigella in the morning and arrange it right away.”
Kairos thought for a moment.
“if Heisel is not busy, tomorrow’s lunch will be good.”
“Yes, then I will tell Nigella in advance.”
“OK.”
‘will feel better, so I won’t have to work overtime anymore.’
Sidd was very happy.
“if Mrs. Hazel receives a surprise gift, she must be very surprised! I think she will like it very much. She loves the food that the master prepares for her. I’ll arrange everything right.”
At the sign that I could get out, I walked out with a cheering face.
“I think I can be useful to you sir. I wonder if the work will become a little easier as before.”
After that, he started humming and moving his shoulders while walking down the aisle for a long time.
***
That morning.
The light turned on again in the communication tool, as there was no news.
Up to this point, he had not hidden the unexplained distress, so she looked at the light silently for a while.
But it couldn’t have lasted much longer.
There was only one reason why Hazel, who should have been in a deep sleep, would call at this time.
– kernel?
It wasn’t long after I got my hands on the communicator that I heard Hazel’s voice, and it was more choking than usual.
“Heisel.”
– huh? How did you answer the call? Are you still working?
I was amazed by her sudden voice.
When I asked her calmly if she had ever had a nightmare, she heard a small inhale from the other side.
She quickly lowered her voice and answered.
– I was thinking about doing this once and then sleeping again… What about you, Noah?
“I stopped here because I remembered that I left some papers while I was sleeping. As soon as I entered, I saw the light of the communication tool.”
– Ah, right… I’ve called you before. I didn’t continue because you were busy. But that’s great! To hear my husband’s voice at dawn.
“I must have left the worksheets to talk to my wife like that. Lie down with the communicator. I’ll sing you a lullaby until you sleep.”
– now?
“Yes, since I can’t be by your side, I should at least sing you a lullaby. If I don’t, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep.”
– okay, then just a little!
There was a rattling sound and an accelerated movement.
I imagined Hazel quickly lying down, holding the blanket and communication device in one hand.
Both parties were at their quietest times, so he could even hear her breathing and movement clearly.
“…..”
Even though we had been together for a year, this was the first time we had connected via the communication tool at dawn. Even though I had never hugged Hazel before when she had nightmares.
The calm atmosphere of dawn, and Heisel’s voice on the other side of the communication device.
– my husband! I lay down. I covered myself with the blanket too.
Even Heisel’s voice was full of expectations. Kairos really liked this situation.
Hazel had nightmares frequently. This was mostly because of the power she possessed.
When she had nightmares, she would turn intensely, so sometimes I would unconsciously extend my hand to calm her down and pat her back until the sound of her breathing subsided.
I sang the lullaby twice today and Hazel fell asleep.
With his eyes closed, Kairos listened to Hazel’s breath for a long time as she fell asleep without cutting off the connection.
Kairos, who was listening as he held his breath, slowly raised his hand and covered his eyes with his own.
Suddenly, a laugh burst out of his mouth as if he had suffocated.
