As if the goddess blessed me, the duration of my coma was decreasing, and the time I could stay awake was increasing.

  At first, I did not notice it myself; it was Duke Raven who pointed it out for me.

  He told me that during my first year here, I would wake up once a month.

  Then, around the time I had that dream, I could wake up once a week, but I could only stay awake for about 3 hours.

  Now, although I could only wake up once a week, I could stay awake for almost half a day.

  I noticed that I always wake up around evening. It was around the time of sunset.

  Each time I woke up, I was always alone.

  Yet, I got a bell.

  My helper might be the one who prepared it for me.

  They may have become familiar with Duke Raven’s personality.

  He was always tactless.

  So, they may prepare it so that I can ring it and call Duke Raven.

  It was a small, plain piece.

  Judging by their choice, my helper may be a man.

  I really hope we can be friends.

  When I told Duke Raven about my thoughts, he did not reply.

  Instead, he asked me to keep on thinking about it. After that, he walked away.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  He has always been like that.

  Ah, today, I received some good news.

  Several days ago, the supply convoy came.

  They also deliver the letters from my mother and sister.

  Duke Raven kept them for me and gave them to me this evening.

  Apparently, they were in great health.

  From their tone, although they were still worried about me, they became happier.

  And the situation regarding our standing is improving.

  The imperial faction is rebuilding its own power. Rather than declining, we are actually becoming stronger.

  The North is closely working with us. They expressed their support for the imperial family.

  The East is doing the same.

  Mother told me that my father could enjoy himself more than before.

  Another piece of great news was that my sister decided not to enter into a marriage talk with a central noble.

  My mother and father strongly support her decision. We no longer need to bow to anyone.

  In my mother's letter, she told me that my sister had already found someone. Spring has come for my sister.

  Apparently, he was the next swordmaster. She told me that he was a bit older than my sister. And he is from a commoner background.

  However, it was of no concern. The moment he ascended to the swordmaster, he would, at least, receive the marquise rank.

  Mother also told me that he has a great personality and loyalty.

  He was a stern but gentle person.

  I think his personality really suited my sister.

  However, he did not seem to notice my sister.

  Mother told me that he always treats her respectfully while keeping his distance, even when my sister deliberately visited him.

  I never knew my sister had that aggressive side.

  Yet in my sister's letter, she did not mention it.

  She only talked about the weather. She occasionally talked about her study.

  She also mentioned that she visited the church in the capital and the main church occasionally.

  She also told me that she found a friend.

  Her new friend was a great person. And my sister looked up to her a lot.

  Although my sister was older, she was always treated as the younger one.

  Who was that person? For her to be able to turn my reliable sister into a child like that.

  Yet I also wanted to thank her because she could bring out my sister’s childish side.

  It was thanks to her that my sister became happier.

  I am feeling it.

  It was about time for me to enter the coma.

  To this day, although I have received many good news, I have not met my helper.

  I really want to meet them.

  I hope we can become good friends like my sister and her new friend.

  Please let me meet you, at least—
