“… … Are you upset?”
It was inside the barracks with dim lights. Celia, who was so surprised, stood up as it was and felt her head spinning. Leonis quickly grabbed her arm at Celia's staggering appearance as if falling out of bed.
As he sat her on the bed, Celia looked at Leonis with a frown. He saw it once at the ball, but Leonis couldn't remember her expression properly.
'Is it such a face?'
He must have remembered it properly because he was an opponent that should not be forgotten. The refreshing woman he met at the ball was noticed the moment she folded her arms at the wedding hall.
If not, he would have immediately veiled and checked her face.
'Why are you staring at me?'
He was told that she hated him and, to be precise, took poison in despair over being betrayed by her lover. However, she just stared at the face of the groom whom she newly married... Isn't it strange?
Leonis was also facing her, so he could count the long lashes on her slow blinking eyelids.
“Where am I? Who are…”
Who are you?
It was only then that Leonis remembered that he had never introduced himself to her. He saw her at the wedding hall, but she was wearing a veil and couldn't have seen his face. When he unveiled, Celia had already fainted.
“I'm Leonis Cardian.…… your husband.”
As he called her name, Celia's blue eyes widened a little, as if surprised.
“This is my barracks. I managed to get rid of the monster from Acylus, but I have to kill the Queen, so I'm tracking it because it's over.”
“Then it means that this is not Acylus.”
It was the capital that held the wedding ceremony. It was held in the residence of the Duke of Cardian, within 30 minutes by carriage from the Marquis of Montague.
It's night, but it's been a few hours...
'Did you use magic?'
“I apologize for spending the first night in the barracks.”
Leonis said with a face that wasn't sorry at all. Celia realized that he was still trying to treat her as the duchess.
Celia Montague was a human who could release his curse. Even if I'm not sure about that yet, I would have judged that at least it could alleviate the curse.
'No way. I just passed out at the ceremony, so what are you going to do tonight?'
He didn't even try to get involved with Lily in the original. It's because the madness has alleviated just by touching it.
It was only after she realized that she was trying to kill him. Lily also embraces the relationship to reassure Leonis.
'It's been less than a day since I came to this world.'
You've already got married and it's with the male lead! I even got married instead of the original female lead!
'No. In this case, am I the substitute of the female lead?'
Da-jung, no, Celia still felt like she had a strange dream. After waking up from this dream, I felt like I would open my eyes in the emergency room.
“…… Celia?”
Leonis asked how he had accepted the silent Celia. Celia looked at him with a tired face. Fortunately or unfortunately, I wasn't wearing a wedding dress.
Celia blankly looked down at her clothes, and Leonis said, saying it wasn't a big deal.
“I had the maids change clothes in the bride's waiting room earlier.”
Leonis did not leave the waiting room and changed clothes on the spot, but he did not tell her about it. Intuitively, he thought Celia was going to get angry.
'Come to think of it……'
I was hungry and thirsty. No, the first thing I felt was thirsty.
"Water……”
As Celia with her head up looked at Leonis, she looked at her with the gaze of why he was looking at her. Celia looked stupid.
'Then will I move in pain?'
Leonis stood from his seat, frowning, but the expression wasn't intended at Celia.
In addition to the bed, there was a table in the barracks and a cup of water and a kettle. Even though it was a nobleman who was carrying the servants with him in the midst of pursuing the monster, there was no fervor here.
He couldn't even call the attendant out loud because all the knights and soldiers could hear him.
Leonis went to the table and poured the water to the glass and gave it to Celia.
Celia looked at Leonis with a brightened face and pulled Leonis's hand holding the water cup, not the cup.
'What?'
It was Leonis who was frightened and surprised. He always started the morning with slaughter because of the curse, and even those very close to him were accustomed to fearing him.
It was obvious that the smell of blood had smeared on the body.
Does he kill monsters or people every day? The noble ladies were especially afraid of him, so they often trembled just looking at his shadow.
At the wedding hall, I used perfume to get rid of the smell of blood, but I had just taken a bath and came back. Celia would have noticed it because her body smelled twice as blood.
“What are you...…”
Celia, who tilted the cup with Leonis' hand, was already drinking water. Celia, who couldn't answer while drinking water, groaned her neck and swallowed.
It seemed to have been sore throat for quite some time.
“My hands trembled…… I'm sorry."
As she said, Celia's thinly hand was trembling. He also felt it when she held his arm at the wedding hall.
At that time, he thought it was simply because Celia hated this marriage.
[…... A suspected amnesia.]
Suddenly, the end of the report sent by the three spies from the Marquisate of Montague came to mind. Seeing Celia's smiling face, he was convinced.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Didn't you just say it earlier? You're…… my husband.”
Celia was about to make up her mind that she would add 'Sir' because she was scared right now. It is to be seen who will become 'Sir' in the future.
Leonis narrowed his eyes and looked suspiciously at Celia.
“I’m hungry.”
He was told to make a plan, but he had a wedding during the day, and now that she had woke up, a day would have passed without eating anything. He couldn't tell her to be patient, who was sick. He was in a position to get her help.
“Let me bring food.”
"T-that."
Leonis's eyebrows raised as I hurriedly call. No way was it that good words wouldn't come out if I was asking for something to bring.
Celia mumbled, dyeing her cheeks.
“Oh, my hand is trembling…… I would like you to have a maid or a servant to bring it. Is there any?”
There was no attendant who followed Leonis. Because he was the Duke of Cardian. However, the maid for Celia was not ready. It was because he was half impulsive that he brought her here.
It was because he was convinced that Celia would commit suicide or flee while he was hunting and pursuing a monster.
It was Leonis who thought of his attendant reflexively, but when he was thinking of Celia, who was eating the soup that the attendant gave, it felt like his stomach turned upside down.
Even though Celia had no feelings about him yet. It's the situation. Anyway, she was his wife, and she was the Duchess of Cardian. On the contrary, it is possible to wake up a servant in the barracks to attend to her assistance, but......
'There will be rumors. A mad killer is crazy about his wife.'
He wondered if it would be so great to wake up a knight to attend, but it would become a rumor in the aristocratic society.
Moreover, Cardian didn't want to let those who fight and risk their lives only to attend. Even so, he's not reluctant to have her go to bed.
“......”
Leonis turned around and exited the barracks without coming to a conclusion. Celia looked at his back and stick out her tongue.
I knew from reading a novel that he was a possessive person. However, since I ain't Lily, I wasn't sure how he would react.
'Will the beginning come? if not…'
Leonis couldn't have made it ready, but it seemed that someone, whether his attendant or knight, had told to prepare some food for her. Or he wouldn't have been able to get it so quickly
Leonis walked into the tent's entrance of the barracks and held a bowl of steamy watery soup in his hand. He felt sorry for Celia, but there was a rule that food for the sick should be given.
“Well, another person should have been fi…”
“Who do you intend to wake up this late at night?”
Leonis replied bluntly. If he was willing, it would be a nobleman's usual way to call a servant by pulling a rope even in the middle of the night, but it was an answer that was not noble.
With a bowl of soup, he sits down next to Celia, watching Celia's reaction. She looks disgusted and expected to move to the side...
'I'm hungry. Give me some rice, man.'
It doesn't mean that she doesn't smell blood, but she was a Korean who enjoyed eating Ox blood soup as a cure for a hangover. When a person lives, it can smell of blood. What should I do?
It was mostly monsters that Leonis killed every day. He said that if demand was insufficient, he was provided with prisoners on death row in other regions.
It seemed to be killing livestock, but the number had to be significant in the case of killing livestock. This was the case with wild beasts, so they favored monsters and humans who are insane even by killing one.
Leonis was surprised to realize that Celia's appearance did not change. Although he always had an expressionless face, Celia has also a great poker face.
Of course, Celia wasn't like that either. It was the first time that I had seen a handsome man like this in front of me and stood in one close space.
'The heart will pop out of your mouth.'
There was no desire to reveal that I was shaking and pounding. I was the one who used whatever was available.
I had no intention of showing a gap to the rated-19 thrashy man. I'm not even a mistress.
“Is it hot?”
Celia glanced at the bowl and asked Leonis. Leonis frowned, wondering if he should even blow it down to cool it down.
