“I’m exhausted...”

At long last, Misha made it back to her room, collapsing onto the sofa. It had taken until late in the afternoon before she had gotten around to seeing everyone in the makeshift infirmary, and she hadn’t been able to take a moment to rest the whole time. Though she hadn’t felt it while the patients were in front of her, the moment she stepped back into her own room, the fatigue of the day slammed down on her. She didn’t have the energy to move a finger.

“That was so scary...” she murmured into the cushions, curling up and wrapping trembling arms around herself.

She possessed all the knowledge. She hadn’t done this often, but she had occasionally gone to the village at the edge of the forest, where she watched her mother treat the injured and the sick there. But she had never been anything more than her mother’s assistant. This was her first time directly dealing with the patients by herself.

Besides that, she had also never seen people so gravely wounded before, the only exception being her father the day before. Plus, it was her first time stitching up human flesh. Although she had practiced before on small dead animals and boars, this was her first time sewing stitches on something still alive, let alone on a human.

Feeling nervous in the face of such responsibilities was only natural for a girl as young as Misha was, but she knew she couldn’t show that unease to her patients. Any distress in her own mannerisms would cause them more worry.

On top of that, Misha was only thirteen. She could hardly fake her age or experience, so she was starting in the red. If she did poorly, her patients might refuse treatment altogether. Really, if there had been another doctor or healer present, Misha likely wouldn’t even have had a chance to help. She knew that full well, and it was all the more reason why she couldn’t show even the slightest bit of unease in her work.

“It’s fine. I did well. I didn’t make a single mistake, and I knew how to treat everyone. I did fine. It’s okay, it’s okay...” she continued to murmur over and over, still shaking in her own arms.

She stayed like that for who knows how long, but eventually a knock at the door snapped her out of it, causing her to jump upright. Luckily, she had stopped shaking, even if her face was still a bit pale.

“Excuse me. I have brought you some food.” The older maid from the other day pushed a cart into the room. Expressionless, she quickly laid the meal out on the table. “If there is anything you cannot eat, please let me know.”

Although she could barely move a finger before, Misha found a renewed sense of energy upon seeing a steaming hot plate of food on the table. Soft bread, steaming soup, and a large slab of meat roasted with herbs and spices—hunger overtook her. There was even a collection of three varieties of sliced fruit.
