Chapter 69

Ever since Ms. Bargot joined the task force, Ms. Bargot and Zich always hung out together. Even though Zich didnt have much medical knowledge, Ms. Bargot seemed to be fond of Zich for sharing the formula to Igrams cure, so she shared little bits of medical knowledge with him. It looked like she was one-sidedly dragging him to places, but Zich also followed her without any complaints and listened to what she said.

And because of that, rumors about the two began to spread. Zich was a handsome youth from a noble lineage, and Ms. Bargot was also a beauty. When such noticeable people hung out together, rumors began to naturally spread. There was a significant age difference between them, but that fact only made their relationship sound more romantic.

Nosy people began to gossip and make conclusions about the two. Both of their efforts to quickly calm the Igram situation also played a significant part in improving their image. Although gossip usually led to tarnishing one or both parties reputation, hardly anyone talked badly about their relationship.

What are you looking at?

As Zich was getting ready to make his final blow on Igrams gradually dying existence, he noticed Hans staring at him and Hans asked, Are the rumors true, sir?

What rumors?

You know, the rumors that you and Ms. Bargot are a couple. Hans didnt ask just out of curiosity. He also didnt have the smallest intention to intervene in Zichs love life. He had simply asked because he still had some of his habits from his servant days.

If the rumors are true, then I will have to treat Ms. Bargot differently from other people.

Hans had a different mindset than Snoc who was listening with his ears perked up, excited to hear a heart-thumping story of fated love. Zich smirked like he knew Hans motive for asking such a question.

Theres no need for you to treat her differently from before. And in the first place, our relationship is not that sweet.

Is that so? Hans nodded. If Zich said that was the case, he had no reason to ask further questions. After hearing Zichs response, Hans grabbed a disappointed Snoc by the back of his neck and got ready to prepare for the day.

Knock! Knock!

Someone suddenly knocked on the temporary shelter that Zich and his companions were staying at. Hans and Snocs expression stiffened. Most of the people who visited their shelter were soldiers who came to get Zich under Joachims orders. And most of the time, they didnt bring good news. They wondered if Igram that was beginning to disappear was starting up a second wave. However, Zichs words made their worries disappear.

Its not a soldier, so dont worry. They probably came to talk to me about something. Then Zich personally moved to open the door. Usually, Hans or Snoc opened the door when guests came, so his action was most unusual. But when they saw who was standing outside the door, they understood. They knew who she was by her all-black clothes and the cotton veil covering her face.

Greetings, Mr. Zich. Did you sleep well?

Thanks to you, I was knocked out.

Thats a relief to hear. Sleep is one of the most important factors to good health. Ms. Bargot smiled widely.

I am honored to have the fortune of seeing your beautiful face so early in the morning, but to what do I owe this pleasure to?

Fufu! You are so skillful with your words. If I didnt still love my husband, I would have fallen for you. Ms. Bargot covered her mouth with her hands and smiled lovingly. Hans and Snoc stole furtive glances at her; she was beautiful enough to make their minds go blank. Im sorry to intrude, but theres someone Id like you to meet. Ah, I have gotten permission from Sir Joachim of course. Since Igram is slowing down, he told me its fine for me to leave for a bit.

Someone you want me to meet? Its a pity that its not an offer to go on a date. But since you are the one doing the introduction, its more than enough for me to make time. I will get ready immediately. Zich went back inside the house and finished getting ready.

Should we leave now?

Yes.

Zich offered his arm, and Ms. Bargot placed her hand on his arm. Then he escorted her to the road. Anyone would have thought that there was something going on between them. Hans and Snoc watched the two leave sticking side by side and thought the same thing.

How can he act like that and still say that theyre not in a relationship?

Ms. Bargot led Zich outside of Ospurin. Fortunately, there was another gate near the quarantine area (used for moving corpses outside of the castle to burn them), so they didnt have to walk through people unexposed to the disease.

The outside was quiet without a sign of life. The area that was connected to the gate was also blocked from outsiders. Besides a couple of trees that waved under light breezes, the place was a meadow, colored with green grass. However, the slates on the ground indicated that the place wasnt only for resting. It was a cemetery.

Zich glanced around the cemetery; they all had different names but the same family name: Bargot.

It must be the Bargot familys cemetery.

The cemetery was well maintained even after the familys collapse. It proved that somebody was taking care of the place.

Ms. Bargot must be the one taking care of it.

Zich glanced at her. Ms. Bargot moved and stopped in front of the two slates at the end of the cemetery.

Alex Bargot

Luin Bargot

Even without asking, Zich knew who they were. Besides Ms. Bargot, he looked down at the graves below him.

Are they her family members who died from the epidemic?

They are my family, Ms. Bargot finally said. Her voice was calm, almost as if time lessened the affection she felt for her family. However, that wasnt it. Time had simply changed a persons sorrows into longing, and she couldnt erase the love she had for them in her heart. Ms. Bargot placed her hand on top of the stone slab which had the name Alex Bargot written on it.

This is my husband.

She quietly began her explanation.

He was much older than me, but we truly loved each other. Even while my husband was busy with his business, he was always attentive to me. I loved my husband for that. So when our love bore fruit, I felt like I had the whole world in my hands.

Ms. Bargot moved her hands to the slab which said Luin Bargot.

She was such a lovely child. Always smiling, crying, and sleeping a lot. Every time Luin squirmed inside my grasp; I thought
