　--Suddenly, Ur collapsed.

　It was a great shock to Sam that Ur, who had been so healthy for the past four years that even killing her would not kill her, collapsed without warning.

（What happened to Ur?　Sickness?　But I haven't seen any sign of that in the past four years. Maybe he was sick, but I didn't notice it?)

"Of course I'm fine."

"I don't need a doctor."

"Why?

"I know what I'm doing with my body," he said.

"--what?"

　Sam couldn't believe his ears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, he could hear, but he didn't want to accept Ur's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about?　Don't you know what to say and what not to say anymore?"

　He had never seen Ur like this before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a malignant disease with no known cause or cure. It is a rare disease that rarely affects people with strong magical powers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, no, because, ur-"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam is upset by Ur's confession, but she doesn't care and proceeds with her story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry for keeping this from you. I'm sorry for keeping it from you, but I've been in a good mood.

　He doesn't give Sam time to take in his words and chew them over.

"As a matter of fact, when they found out I was sick, they said I wouldn't last a year."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... no such thing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So I left everything and ran away without telling my family about my illness. All in order to find my successor."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait a minute, Ur!　One year? We've been together for four years!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wondered too. I thought that maybe the disease had been cured. But the disease was still a disease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We need a doctor, we need a doctor!　In a city as big as King's Landing, there must be a doctor who can heal Ur!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ur shook his head quietly at Sam's suggestion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Unfortunately, I have always lived in King's Landing. I've used all my contacts, I've seen the most renowned doctors and wizards. The result is that I have one year to live."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, no, then what do we do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But life is interesting. The light of my life has lasted me not one but four years. I'm sure it's because of Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ur, stop it!　Don't say that, we will continue to adventure, laugh and be together."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam shouts at Ur, who is talking as if he has already succumbed to the disease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't let my master die like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
