The Goal is to be Self-made

she got up from her seat with that determination, her head started spinning.
It was so grim that it felt kind of dangerous.

She felt like blood was draining from all over her body.

Ugh…what’s wrong with me?

She moved her staggering body difficultly and managed to lean on the table.
But the dizziness was not going away.

[!] Extremely low energy.

[!] You would feel dizzy and nauseous.

[!] You need a break right now.

Ah.
Come to think of it, it did say that every time I use a skill, I will consume an amount of energy.

She had never used up her energy before, so she didn’t know what would happen when her energy dropped to the bottom.

That being said, she never paid much attention to that part, and she used her skill like crazy.

Urgh.
I guess I can’t use my skills however I pleased thoughtlessly.
I’ll have to be careful in the future.

All of a sudden, her vision turned black.

[!] Your energy is now exhausted.
You will fall into an unconscious state.

❈❈❈

When she opened her eyes again, she was on bed.

I fainted.

Actually, she was used to fainting.

She had spent such a long time as an incurable patient, that she was prone to pains and fainting.

Thanks to this, she was able to naturally perform the following actions.

She calmly raised her upper body and took a deep breath.
After taking a breath, the energy in her body seemed to be refreshed little by little.

I’m thirsty.

At that thought, she began searching around.
Briefly after, a maid came in and exclaimed in a startled voice.

“Madame! You are awake!”

It was Nisha, the maid that Sheldick personally sent her.

Because Violet was unfamiliar with this place, he said that Nisha would be of help to her in many ways as she had worked in the residence for a long time.

As he said, Nisha was indeed very skillful.

She could read the room well.
She knew when to be there and when to step down, so there was no need for orders.

“How long have I been asleep?”

“Half a day has passed, Madame.
The Grand Duke was also very worried.”

It was obvious that it was all empty talk.

She had heard this kind of pleasant words a lot while she was lying in the hospital.

If you’re really worried about me, I’ll see for myself.
Not just with your words alone.

After all, they weren’t even that close.

“I see.”

She answered half-heartedly and got out of bed.

To be precise, that was what she was striving to do.

Had it not been for the weight that was heavily pressing down on her legs, that would have certainly been the case.

…what?

Puzzled, she shifted her gaze to that specific direction.
Before long, her eyes rounded in surprise at the unexpected.

“…A wolf?”

A little wolf with black fur was sleeping there.

At first, she thought it was a dog, but on closer inspection, it was clearly different from a dog.

“Why is a wolf here?”

No matter how small it was, it was an animal of the beasts’ family.
It living with people would be dangerous.

The maid smiled softly at her bewildered face.

“The black wolf is the symbol of Etzel.
It roams around a lot.”

It was strange.
Very strange indeed.
The symbol of the Basel Duchy was the silver hawk, but no hawk had been seen roaming around the mansion.

She watched the wolf cautiously.

“It doesn’t attack people? It’s a wild beast though.”

“Of course, there are a lot of beasts like that… but this one is fine.
Ever since he was born, he has been growing up among humans.”

“Is that so.”

She blinked dazedly and looked back at the little wolf.

It was the first time she had ever seen a wolf up close.

The little wolf’s chest was going up and down regularly, perhaps he was in a deep sleep.

If it had been awake, she would have been more wary.
But since he was asleep, she didn’t think it was too dangerous.

She cautiously reached out and stroked the wolf’s head.
His hair, between her fingers, felt softer than she expected.

He rubbed his face with his hand as if he could feel her touch even while sleeping.

It really looked like he was acting cute, just like a child.

This is…more than I think…

“Cute…”

The word ‘cute’ popped out of her mouth unwittingly.

Nisha, who was watching from the side, burst into laughter as if it was funny.

“Actually, the previous Grand Duchess loved him a lot.
Perhaps he has not forgotten that time, as he often came to the Grand Duchess’ room to sleep.”

The smile on Nisha’s face disappeared as she continued to speak.

“So, if this guy pops up in the middle of the night and takes over the bed, please don’t be too harsh on him.”
