Feverish

"Ah-chee! Ah-cheem! Ah-"

Ezra was finally able to stop sneezing for a moment. But…

“Ah-cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem…!”

Her high-pitched sneeze startled Heinrich and Ezekiel. The two of them were riding near the horse-drawn carriage Ezra was in, and they immediately looked at each other after hearing that.

"Physician!"

Heinrich responded much faster than Ezekiel, and that took Ezekiel by surprise. Actually, Heinrich himself had wanted to call a doctor since he heard Ezra's third sneeze long ago, but he felt it would cross the line if Ezekiel, Ezra's husband, didn't call a doctor, and he, a nobody, did instead.

Ezekiel felt discomfort in his chest. What was he really thinking that he didn't realize about Ezra's condition?

“Summon the best physician, now!” said Ezekiel quickly.

Meanwhile, the best physician who had a stiff and emotionless face was riding behind a certain short-haired knight. When Ezekiel and Heinrich called out to him, he accelerated his horse, past the knight.
