“Thank you!”
Atia laughed brightly.
However, Heidegger planned to discern the hidden scheme behind her harmless laughter.
‘Her pretense is quite good. But really, what could she be hiding behind that laughter.’
“I’ll take Heukgu home for a while.”
“Heukgu?”
“Ah, it’s his name.”
Atia answered, stroking Cerberus.
Heukgu, knowing his name, wagged his tail.
“Heukgu, let’s go home for a while. I’ll play with you later, okay?”
Atia tickled Heukgu’s chin with her finger.
Then, he made a strange sound and wagged his tail even harder.
‘It doesn’t seem like a normal gesture.’
Heidegger thought, closely watching Atia’s actions.
And, he watched Heukgu wagging his tail, going into the cage, leaving everyone with their mouths open.
[This is the time separator]Atia and Heidegger entered the guest room of the duke’s residence.
Casus’s taste was evident throughout the room.
The interior was clean with a suitable combination of oatmeal color, white, and black, and the floor was marble.
“Father, this couch would be nice. Please have a seat.”
Atia pointed to the largest and softest brown sofa in the room.
The term ‘father’ was not familiar, but Heidegger sat on the brown sofa without showing it.
“Please wait a moment, father. I’ll be right back!”
“Take your time.”
“No, I’ll be right back.”
Atia seemed to need special preparations to show her beasttaming secret, even if he didn’t know what she was preparing.
Heidegger was very curious about what technique he would see.
What is the secret of the Harad family, who tamed Cerberus in half a day?
Even if the daughter of the Harad family had other evil intentions for trapping him here, Heidegger decided to find out that secret.
[This is the time separator]A moment later.
Atia, who came back in, held a tray in her hand. It was filled with various unidentifiable objects.
Heidegger raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Shouldn’t you have a servant do these things?”
“It’s an ingredient that no one else can make. I made it myself.”
Atia put the tray on the table and picked up one of the unknown objects.
“Father, can you take off your coat for a moment?”
“All right.”
“It would be good if you are as lightly dressed as possible. You can take off anything cumbersome.”
‘Why is she telling me to take off my clothes to show her skill.’
The situation Heidegger was worried about was approaching.
Assassins had used a variety of methods over the years.
Poisoning food, shooting poisonous arrows in the middle of the night, getting close by pretending to be a confidant.
Clothes are tools that cover the human body.
Asking her to be defenseless without a weapon would be the best assassination method a powerless and petite woman could carry out.
However, Heidegger, unfazed, removed his coat.
One layer, two layers, he took off the clothes he had worn in layers for his journey.
When only a short top was left.
‘Gasp!’
Instantly.
Atia’s heart nearly stopped.
It seemed as though her vision was completely covered in a dazzling light.
No, a bright energy was so overwhelming that she couldn’t open her eyes.
“Is this enough?”
“…….”
“Taking off even this would be difficult.”
“Yes, yes…….”
She didn’t know where it was resonating from, but it felt like a hymn filled with holiness was striking her ears.
Atia, with her entire body stiffened, opened her mouth wide.
From the small lines of his upper body to the large lines, Atia’s pupils seemed to be burning with determination, trying to take in everything without missing a thing.
“…….”
Looking at Atia who was staring at him without even blinking, Heidegger asked in a puzzled voice.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Father, do you by any chance take any supplements?”
The excited Atia asked again.
“What is your diet?”
“Diet?”
Atia swallowed her saliva.
“What is your workout routine? I am curious about the routine, could you please tell me in detail?”
“Routine? I do not understand what you are saying at all.”
Atia took a deep breath to calm her wildly beating heart.
“Well, Father…… This may sound a bit strange, but you really have a magnificent body.”
“What?”
“It seems like I can see the tearful sweat of your tireless efforts to surpass human limits in places where no one is watching.”
Atia’s heart was touched to the point of tears, feeling a majestic emotion all by herself.
No matter how much Heidegger was a character in a novel, he too was a person who was born and raised in this country.
He must have been hurt countless times, must have been distressed countless times, and despite all that, he would have striven his whole life to win the war to protect his people.
The result of his efforts was vividly melted into his body.
Honorable traces scratched here and there on his thick upper body.
Perhaps due to the fatigue of that honor, his shoulders and neck area seemed to be particularly knotted.
On the contrary, Heidegger, who had been quietly watching Atia’s reaction, narrowed one of his eyes.
“I wish you spoke more clearly.”
“Ah, I’m sorry, Father. Among all the people I’ve seen, you have the best body.”
