Chapter 28: The fact that there are infected people means that there are people who are the source right?

When I tried to send my mother-in-law to her room, she appealed to me with a little bit of hesitation.

I wonder what it is? You don't want to get tired out, right?

"Your Highness Luke ... I have a request. I know that your recovery magic is very valuable and it’s not right to ask this of a Prince of a Great Power, but I have a slave who took care of me. She was infected and is currently undergoing treatment separately. Could you please see her as well? "

She was very humble and asked in polite language, so I was nervous, but it wasn’t a big request. Rather, I regret that I didn't consider such things.

Tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous diseases in Forrel, and the disease is quarantined by law. The fact that one of the patients was here should lead you to think that there are other people infected, even if they’re not ill.

"Sasha! I understand your feelings, but that’s no good!"

eh? Uncle, why not!

"Why? It's not something that bothers me. Well, if I’m told to treat people one after another, it’ll be a little troublesome, but I'm free. I can examine them from time to time. "

"That's not the problem ..."

He’s really crisp.

"♪ I see ... It’s because the target person is a slave. There are many servants in the Duke's family, but slaves have the lowest status ... He bought her from a slave dealer just to take care of the madame, who has a dangerous illness. In other words, she’s a debt slave. ”

"So what's wrong? 』\

"♪ Having the prince of a great power examine a slave would damage the prestige of the Duke's family."

Stupid!

"♪ It's a silly thing for master, but it's a problem for a noble family. In this house, there are many women who are entrusted as aristocratic apprentices from other families. They can't let them get infected. "

"Well, I understand the situation mostly. It's because the person's status is low, right? But this disease is a disease that may have already been transmitted even if the person is not sick. Just in case. I'll see everyone tomorrow. "

Even if it’s transmitted, there’s an incubation period, and some people don’t get sick.

"Does everyone include debt slaves and contract slaves?"

Contract slave? Luke has no such knowledge. It’s natural that the only people who can come into contact with the royal family are those of noble upbringing with reasonably high dignity.

"Everyone. I’m worried that some noble apprentices may already be ill, and it may spread from those who I haven't seen. It's safe to have everyone checked, right?"

"Your Highness Luke, thank you for your consideration."

"Mother-in-law ... I'm okay with Luke. I don't like being stiff, and I’m not a stranger, right?"

"That's right ... Then, I'll call you Luke from now on."

Gee ... the princess is watching over here!

"♪ If you take a different attitude from what you said in the carriage, she’ll naturally see you with strange eyes."

"It's better to have a good feeling than when I was in the royal castle."

"Luke? Can you immediately tell if they’re sick when you see them?"

What should I do ... The princess is really looking at me ... she said she could hardly see the room with her low vision, but I wonder if she can see something different with her eyes ...

" Jail Brother, I don't have much knowledge as a doctor, but I have magic similar to appraisal magic, so I can diagnose if it's there."

I'm not telling a lie! I can tell by using [Appraisal] one of the of the cheat 3-piece set given by the goddess.

" You had that kind of skill ... You really have a lot of secrets. If you take it seriously, you're much better than me, Father made a dumb decision. Even though you belonged to our country, you’re now a son-in-law. It's such a waste. "

"Brother, I played too much ... I didn't learn, so I'm stupid. For the time being I’ll check the people here. There must be someone who infected mother-in-law. Do you have any ideas? "

"The person has already died ..."

"Dear? You mean?"

"That's right ... the wife of the Count family who often came to your tea parties. Three other wives and maids who came to tea parties she was attending have died."

?She’s a tea party participant? ... I think one with good friends could last for a long time.

"Okay first Lara!"

"Yes! Luke onii-chan!"

Kuu! Too cute!

"[Detailed Appraisal] ..."

"♪ It seems that your skill level is not enough. Use [Customize] to raise your proficiency level by one more. ”

I try activating [Detailed Appraisal] after doing so ... Alright, she can now be examined.

"Yeah! Lara is a healthy child! Nothing seems to be wrong."

I continue the checks ... Anna-chan has no problem ... Princess Mifa, Erica-chan, brother ... Hmm? Duke of Guile out!

"Duke of Guile ... Infected"

"" Eh? It's a lie! ""

Anna and Sasha are surprised.

"Well ... I meet a lot of people every day as a lord ... I was thinking about that possibility ... That's why I hurried to get a son-in-law ..."

"What are you saying? You’re infected, but not sick. People who are as physically fit as you and my brother are very resistant to illnesses, so you're not sick, you're just infected, and I can cure it ... "

"Well, is that so? Luke, don't scare me too much ... I was a little tense."

Just in case, I eliminate the tubercle bacilli hidden in the Duke.

I returned my mother-in-law to her room and headed to the girl who was taking care of her because I still had enough magical power. There were three young girls, about 15 to 20 years old, in an isolation room.

Yeah ... one is a terminally ill patient. I wonder if this girl was mother-in-law's first caretaker.

I give them the same treatment as I did for mother-in-law.?

"Huh? I’m Healed?"

"Really! The fever is gone!"

"You're out of the worst, you're not completely cured yet, but don't worry, I'll cure you. The other two are completely cured, so please take care of the madame from now on."

"Ah, doctor? I was told that this illness could never be cured as long as you caught it ..."

"It will heal. You're actually feeling better, right?"

"" Yes! I'm feeling great now! ""

"I'll be back in about a week, so you don't have to be scared of this illness. Please take care of my wife and my daughters alright?"

"Yes! Duke sama, thank you for allowing us to see a great doctor!"

"Oh, he's not a doctor, he's the son-in-law of this household... thank him."

From the Duke's point of view, it feels complicated. Some of the butlers probably bought these girls, and I'm sure they bought them with the intention of using them till they fell sick.

It's a terrible story, but he definitely needed someone to care for Sasha san. There was a high possibility that it would be transferred, and it wasn't possible to use maids from important noble families.

"There’s still some magic power left, so please bring the four people from the kitchen."

"That's right. If a cook gets infected, it could be transmitted to everyone at the worst."

You don't get it from tableware, but ...well, the result was fine.
