It was challenging for Atia to handle her unbridled body.

‘Is my body too hungry? Or am I really the one hungry?’
“Ah, yes.”

For some reason, Kasus seemed even more mischievous after the night.

Before, even a slight touch would make Atia’s ears turn red.

Observing Kasus’s skillful movements and body language, Atia felt that she needed to step up her efforts as well.

‘Indeed, his learning ability is exceptional.’

Kasus brought warm tea to help with Atia’s body care.

Steam rose from the teacup.

Kasus slightly cooled the tea and brought it to Atia’s lips.

“Drink. I won’t touch you until you feel better. It might be hard to endure, though.”

Handing over the teacup, Atia looked at him with innocent eyes.

“…I thought I was okay. It’s fascinating to see that you seem completely unaffected.”

“I haven’t used half of my strength.”

“What did you say?”

“Come to think of it, a stone bed might be dangerous. I can’t figure out what would be safe.”

Is his confidence a bit excessive?

If it’s a bed from the royal palace, it shouldn’t be cheap, but if it breaks so easily…

Atia blinked and shifted her gaze along Kasus’s neck.

Muscles were exceptionally well-defined between the unbuttoned white shirt.

“Should we live in the northern region with multiple beds?”

As Atia spoke, inserting her fingers through the open shirt, Kasus burst into laughter.

“That might be possible.”

“I’m worried…”

“Don’t worry unnecessarily. Drink tea before dinner and rest well. I’ll personally convey it to Prince Owen.”

His low voice echoed in Atia’s ears.

A few days later, when Atia visited Owen’s office, she was dressed differently than usual.

Seeing her wrapped up from head to toe, Owen raised an eyebrow.

“Is it cold?”

“Huh? Oh, that, suddenly I felt a chill…”

“A chill?”

Atia, who usually preferred easy-to-move clothes, never wore cumbersome dresses. However, today, for some reason, she was wearing a wine-colored dress.

She had a scarf around her neck, and her usually tied-up hair was flowing down below her chest.

“Isn’t Duke Wellington coming in?”

Owen, puzzled by Kasus not coming in as usual, asked.

“He’s outside the door.”

“Why isn’t he coming in with you?”

Knock, knock, knock.

Before the question could be answered, Kasus knocked on the door and greeted.

His attire was also different from usual. He pulled the collar of his clothes up, hiding his neck.

Something seemed to be going on with them. Bewildered, Owen asked with a puzzled expression.

“Did you catch a cold while being together?”

“Well, something like that.”

Shrugging her shoulders, Atia replied, and Owen covered his nose with his sleeve.

“Oh no, I might catch it too.”

‘But were her lips originally this plump?’

Observing Atia’s lips, which seemed doubly swollen compared to usual, Owen crossed his legs.
Upon closer inspection, Atia’s face had not a single trace of makeup. However, due to the dazzling dress, it seemed like she deliberately diverted attention elsewhere, creating a charming allure.

“I heard you called. What brings you here?”

Atia asked while adjusting her clothing.

“Oh, there are some issues with the route exploration. I needed you for that. If you hadn’t come today, I would have gone to find you.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Come here.”

Owen gestured and beckoned Atia to his side.

Lifting the wine-colored dress slightly, Atia approached him.

“It seems that what you mentioned before has happened. I never thought pirates would appear. If we hadn’t been vigilant in advance, we could have suffered significant damage.”

“See? Wasn’t I right?”

“That’s why.”

Owen asked Atia about other issues.

Looking at the map on his desk, Atia pointed with her finger.

“So… is the problem here?”

Atia suggested a solution to the problem Owen was facing.

However, whenever she moved, it seemed unnatural in some way.

“Where does it hurt?”

Owen looked at Atia.

Her limping movements suggested some kind of injury.

“No, not at all.”

“Is the gym well-used?”

“Oh… of course. It’s my home, after all.”

Atia widened her eyes.

When she brought up the gym, her expression brightened compared to the blank face just moments ago.

“In the training ground, there are always injured people. If you got injured using the gym inside the palace, it would be problematic.”

“Haha… exercising can lead to some injuries, right?”

‘Why is he worried about my body…’

Atia raised her head in the direction of his concern.

“Because of your injury, I couldn’t come immediately when I called.”

“Oh… I’m sorry. I didn’t get hurt on purpose… I’ll be more careful.”

Ah, is he trying to act upset because he didn’t come immediately when she called?

Atia casually filled the silence with a half-smile, waiting for his reprimand to pass.

“You’ve been taking good care of the natives’ health, but it seems you don’t know about your own.”

Owen raised his eyebrows, looking at Atia, who seemed uncomfortable.

Kasus threw a meaningful remark at him, observing Atia who appeared uneasy.

“In a marriage, many things happen.”
