Chapter 20 : Because you saved me.

‘I… I ended up finishing it all…!’

Elma only realized it the moment she had finished eating all the dishes and wiped her mouth with a napkin. 

Although there were many dishes, each was a bite-sized portion, and above all, they were so tasty that she couldn’t stop eating. 

She had completely lost herself, and it seemed like all sense of manners and consideration had disappeared as she focused solely on the next dish.

‘What a shameless thing to do…!’?

“I’m glad, it’s not that you can’t eat it all.”

“Eugreek-sama… T-thank you for the meal. Um…!”

He also ate everything and refilled his own tea from the pot.

“Elma, would you like some more?”

“Uh, I’ll… I’ll do it myself…! Ah, actually, I should be the one to…!”

“Haha, it’s fine. It’s not something to show to others, but I can do this much. What about milk and sugar?”?

“D-don’t trouble yourself… Really…!”

“No. I want to pamper you.”

“Huh…!?”

It looks like steam might start coming out of her face. 

While Elma was still in a flustered state, her cup was taken and refilled. 

Unlike the herbal tea from earlier, this time it was the familiar brown tea. However, even just from the aroma, it was clear that it was of a much higher quality than the usual tea she knew.

‘…Come to think of it’

Elma suddenly turned her attention to Eugreek. 

He was clearly a high-ranking noble who lived in a different world than Elma. However, the way he handled the pot earlier was flawless, it even looked like he was used to it.

Though she doesn’t know much about the heavenly world, but normally, high-ranking nobles would have others handle all their needs—meaning, it seems unlikely for them to refill a pot on their own.

“Are you surprised that I can refill the tea?”

“Did I just say that out loud…!?”

“No, It was written all over your face.”

As Elma’s face turned even redder, Eugreek chuckled. However, when he looked at the cup, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

“I mentioned this before, didn’t I? It seems my face takes away the sanity of those who see it. I can’t really show it to anyone other than my parents. So, it’s more convenient if I can handle things like changing clothes and eating by myself to some extent.”

Now that she thinks about it, the chubby maid mentioned earlier that “The young master handles everything himself.”, and the fact that the servants she saw around the house seemed to be of an older age might be related to his situation.

“However, it’s a good reason to decline a meal with someone I don’t know that well.”

Maybe because Elma looked a bit dejected, Eugreek added that with a joking tone.

‘Aren’t I also someone he doesn’t know that well either..?’

Elma was about to tilt her head when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Eugreek put down his cup and straighten up. She quickly turned to face him, and his silver eyes locked onto her.

“So… let’s talk about you. Is it alright if I ask what happened?”

Her body was warm, her stomach was full, and she was completely at ease. However, as soon as the topic turned to this, she felt a sudden weight fall on her body. Elma lowered her head.

“…Eugreek-sama, you’re exaggerating. It’s just… something that happens all the time.”

“So, do you always end up crying like that?”

“That was… the first time it happened. I was just a little surprised. It’s okay. I’ll return to normal soon. I’ve always done it like that…”

“Elma, I told you, didn’t I? I don’t want to cause you any trouble. I just want to help you.”

“But…”

“What’s bothering you? Is there something you’re lacking? What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Is there something I can do for you?”

The deep, husky voice echoed with a tickling sensation, as if it were resonating deeply within her body. Elma clenched her skirt tightly on her lap.

“Eugreek-sama, why?”

“…Keep going.”

“I… I am an unwanted child. I am a bad daughter who caused my mother’s death. Moreover, compared to my younger sister, I am inferior in every way…So it’s only natural that I get punished.”

As soon as Elma finished speaking, silence took over.

When Elma looked up at the sound of something scraping, she saw Eugreek with a grim expression.

“Eugreek-sama….”

“It’s not you. I’m angry at whatever made you speak like that….Including myself.”

A sense of apology grew stronger. At the same time, doubts began to swell.

“?Why?”

“…What do you mean?”

“Why is it that Eugreek-sama is always so kind to me? You just said that you don’t want to eat with someone you don’t know. We are certainly… complete strangers.”

“It’s because… we have already become friends.”

“No. It’s been like this all along… ever since we first met.””

Letting out a whisper, Elma intertwined the fingers of her hands.

“You asked me what I was worried about. We…are we really friends? I don’t match up to you at all. You are such a wonderful person. You’ve given me the lathy, the bath, lent me clothes, and provided meals?even after all this kindness, I’m useless and incompetent and can’t give anything in return. I can’t do anything! All I can do is clean, do the laundry, cook, and do chores… nothing else.”

“Even if what you’re saying is true?”

Elma was fidgeting and rubbing her hands together while looking down when Eugreek interrupted her.

“I’ve already received enough from you. That’s why I’m the one repaying you.”

“…..”

“Just having you beside me and watching over me like that—I was truly saved by it, and it still saves me even now. So… so this time, it’s my turn to help you. That’s all.”

She couldn’t understand it. It felt so unreal. Yet, the man before me spoke each word with seriousness and sincerity. So she couldn’t deny his words. 

The man, who had been gazing intently at Elma’s wide-open eyes, lowered his gaze to his hands and seemed to think deeply.

“But that’s just for my convenience. You might think, ‘What does that have to do with me?’ and that I still haven’t done anything. In that case… how about we try something like this?”

    This is partly facilitated by the co-localization of
    the AR and ?-catenin within the cell nucleus; further,
    ?-catenin preferentially binds to the AR over a number of different steroid hormone receptors together with these of estrogen, progesterone, and glucocorticoids
    (22). B-catenin’s role as a coactivator of the AR causes a forced overexpression of ?-catenin to augment AR-mediated transcription (22).
    This signaling by way of the AR has additionally been observed to interact with Notch signaling (22).

    Moreover, considering that a lot of the customers are young sportsman and
    that nearly all of those medicine are simply obtained on-line, AAS abuse is
    a substantial public well being issue [3]. Sometimes, medications
    can be used to restore the steadiness of the hormonal system after its disruption by steroid abuse.
    If symptoms are severe or extended, symptomatic medicines or hospitalization could additionally be needed.
    Some people use AASs illegally to boost muscle dimension, strength,
    and stamina or scale back the time it takes to get well between workout routines.

    Additionally of concern, the demand for designer AAS to keep
    away from authorized detection ensures continued progress of the AAS market, significantly on the Internet, but the physiologic results of these newer,
    designer drugs are unknown (Geyer et al., 2008; Joseph & Parr, 2015).
    Recent information have indicated a shift in the acquisition of AAS brokers and knowledge on their use from personal
    exchanges to the Web the place info is nameless and unregulated (Cohen et al., 2007;
    Evans, 1997). To date, the acquisition process and ease of purchase of
    AAS from web sites providing AAS have been poorly characterized (Cramer et al., 2005).
    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a vital enzyme
    involved within the strategy of glycolysis [26]. In this examine, a correlation was recognized between LDH levels and
    anxiety levels within the group utilizing AAS. LDH levels have been established as potentially associated to main depressive dysfunction and suicidal behavior [27]; nevertheless, the connection between LDH and anxiousness remains incompletely understood.
    To one of the best of our information, this is the preliminary study examining the association between anxiousness ranges and LDH levels.

    ND administration resulted in a big discount in the expression of PGC1a in adult mice (3).

    ND didn’t change ACTA1 mRNA with functional overload in male Sprague-Dawley rats
    (19). Nevertheless, there was an interaction at 14 days between ND and
    injury to increase ACTA1 mRNA expression fourfold above
    a management situation and considerably greater than ND treatment
    with out injury in eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (38).

    In addition to the beforehand described adverse
    results, the genotoxicity mechanism (Fig. 1) of AAS isn’t
    properly understood. Nonetheless, it is believed to contain a mixture of
    genetic and epigenetic factors, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin condensation (Salerno et al.,
    2018). Moreover, AAS can be metabolized to 17?-estradiol, which has
    been linked to estrogen-dependent breast cancer and is considered a
    potential mutagenic and carcinogenic mediator (Liehr, 2000), primarily for
    women. Testosterone has been found to increase ovarian cancer cell viability by way
    of telomerase expression, activity, and phosphorylation, and by blocking phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway inhibitors (Salerno et al., 2018).
    Alterations in telomerase exercise are on the foundation of stanozolol-induced DNA-damaging results,
    and AAS effects are linked to dosage and frequency of administration (kara et
    al., 2017). These performance-enhancing medication are created from
    artificial androgens—including testosterone—but they’re usually “stacked” with other chemical
    substances which are believed to reinforce efficiency even additional.
    As A Outcome Of they can’t be obtained legally, many athletes supply their steroids from international pharmacies that don’t have the
    same purity and security regulations as American pharmacies.

    Whereas these are very helpful for athletes, the draw back of Equipoise is
    its long detection time of 5 months. Primobolan can help you obtain that hardened, ripped look with no water retention. Preserving muscle tissue
    is a crucial benefit of Primobolan, because it stops you
    from becoming catabolic whereas your cutting food plan is a calorie deficiency.
    Primobolan will increase energy, restoration, and muscle endurance so that it’ll contribute positively to your workouts.

    Primobolan is most precious when used in a slicing cycle with
    enhanced nitrogen retention, helping to retain muscle
    and the potential for excellent fat loss through lipolysis.
    One of the a quantity of medical circumstances this steroid was used to treat was AIDS because of Primobolan constructive effect on the immune system, making this a unique trait
    of this steroid.
    The lifetime prevalence of any AAS use by adult members of most of the people
    could be greater within the Usa than many regions in the world, however the prevalence
    of AAS use is widespread worldwide (6, 9, eleven, 12). A giant
    2012 Swedish national survey (using a standard questionnaire) study of a pattern from the
    general population demonstrated an adjusted lifetime prevalence of AAS use of
    0.7% in men and zero.002% in women (9). This consideration is not very progressive, considering that
    previous scientific literature extensively reported the estrogenic actions of
    androgens and the IGF-1R activation secondary to the binding of
    AAS to a membrane ER [107–108]. In human main prostatic stromal cell
    cultures, DHT and T have already reported influencing IGF-1 protein expression. Using
    rat Leydig tumor cell line, R2C cells, as an experimental model, Sirianni et al.
    [101], demonstrated, that top focus of androgens promotes Leydig cell aromatase metabolism,
    determining the presence of local estrogen quantities.
    Some described first learning about opioids from pals on the health club, and that they first purchased opioids from the same person who
    had sold them the anabolic steroids one hundred forty.
    In a research of anabolic steroid customers dependent upon the injectable
    opioid analgesic nalbuphine, most reported that they began utilizing nalbuphine
    to deal with ache from weightlifting injuries. Research demonstrates a relationship between people who use anabolic steroids and increased
    psychological health points. Anabolic steroid customers are more probably than non-users to report anxiety, and some customers have been known to develop hypomania, manic or psychotic
    symptoms during exposure to anabolic steroids
    eighty three, eighty four. Many users have also reported
    major depressive symptoms and sleep issues – significantly during
    times of abstinence after intense use eighty three, 84.
    Another frequent mode of anabolic steroid misuse is known as
    “pyramiding”, which usually includes taking anabolic steroid in a cycle
    of six to 12 weeks, tapering progressively quite than starting and
    ending a cycle abruptly.
    AASs travel via the bloodstream to the muscle
    tissue, the place they bind to an androgen receptor.
    The drug can subsequently interact with the cell’s DNA and stimulate the protein synthesis process
    that promotes cell growth. Thirty-one males enrolled in the HAARLEM study have been subjected
    to 3D echocardiography before, at the finish, and a median of 8 months after the beginning of their self-administered AAS cycles (97).
    The prospective nature, complete analysis and long follow-up make the results of
    this trial particularly fascinating. The findings were largely much like what had been seen in earlier methodologically weaker research.
    LVEF decreased by 5%-point and left atrium volume, LV
    mass, posterior wall thickness and interventricular septum thickness were elevated at
    the finish of the AAS cycle (Figure 6).
