"a rich man has a son suffering from a mysterious illness, for which the best doctors in the area have been unable to provide any relief," the only information you were given before you found yourself tied up and kidnapped by bandits while peacefully collecting herbs in the forest.

news of your skills as a talented herbalist had evidently spread throughout the village, making it difficult for you to leave before this unfortunate event occurred. nevertheless, you now have a crucial mission at hand — to utilize all your knowledge and abilities to help this young man.

the lure of a generous salary and the realization that escape from this heavily guarded mansion appears unlikely only solidify your determination to do your best...

upon arrival at the mansion, you were almost immediately taken to the expensively furnished room of your “patient”, leaving you alone with him.

"are you my new doctor?" a few seconds later, a young man with an extremely tired look stands up slightly from the bed in the middle of the room.

his tone is somewhere between irritation and deep sadness, but this is not what attracts your attention in the first place.

in that moment, you take in the sight of scaramouche — his exhausted appearance, the weariness etched onto his face, and his slender frame. despite his handsome features, his thinness and the dark circles under his eyes painfully reflect his deteriorating condition...

and so you spend the next few months in this mansion without leaving.
