When Artia looked around, Cascus was staring at her intensely.
“……. ”
His expression was eerie.
‘His expression doesn’t look good, as if he chewed on something.’
Although Artia was bothered by Cascus’s displeased expression, she had something to say to Owen.
Artia whispered into Owen’s ear.
“Ah, excuse me for a moment. May I have a word?”
“?
Artia stood in front of the nobles who were watching and raised her hand as if to wait a moment when Cascus tried to approach her.
“Now, pay attention. I’m sure you’re all curious about how I won in this duel, right?”
Looking at the nobles filling the banquet hall, Artia raised both hands.
“I’ll reveal the secret, so come to the newly built gymnasium in the annex. I’ll teach you everything from how to make a well-toned body to treating painful areas and increasing stamina to make your day lively.”
The nobles murmured.
“Was there such a thing in the imperial annex?”
Addressing the murmuring nobles, Artia said, “If you come, I’ll teach you how to make a well-toned body, treat painful areas, and increase stamina. Welcome those who don’t feel well or whose clothes don’t fit as they used to.”
The words of Artia, who easily won in the match, were more believable.
Artia didn’t miss the opportunity and appealed the gymnasium to the nobles.
“The equipment and facilities are state-of-the-art, so you’ll probably be impressed. It’s currently half-price for the opening event. Come and see first before deciding. It’s open to all ages. Just bring your passion.”
After saying that, Artia whispered to Owen again, requesting permission for the expansion construction in exchange for sharing part of the gymnasium’s profits.
Since it was Owen’s duty to find the noble affected by dark magic, he thought about it for a moment and agreed to her request.
There was no reason for the Hwanggung to refuse, even if the financial situation wasn’t favorable due to reckless land investment when nobles flocked to bring their fortune.
“Anyone interested?”
Artia, standing in front of the audience, smiled enchantingly.
Many people didn’t even know that there was a gymnasium in the annex, so it seemed good to inform them this time.
Artia took full advantage of the board Owen had laid out for her.
Having heard the explanation, the nobles looked at Owen’s reaction.
Because Wellington Duke and his relationship weren’t good, Owen’s reaction was crucial.
Owen, with a flushed face due to alcohol, stood next to Artia and added a comment.
“I’ve seen it briefly, but it’s quite good.”
When Owen threw in a word, the nobles realized that he had reconciled with Wellington.
The nobles subtly raised their hands.
“I want to.”
“Me too.”
Those nobles who had witnessed Artia’s skills with their own eyes raised their hands eagerly.
A smile formed on Artia’s lips.
Back in the room, Cascus, lying on the bed, looked at Artia sitting on the chair.
She was changing day by day, as if her stature was evolving. It felt like watching a small black puppy she had tamed growing rapidly.
‘The dark magic went wrong.’
Artia’s thin wrists, which had been suspected of living on just dew for three meals a day, were no longer visible.
Also, her neck, once thin and long like an elegant swan, had transformed into a healthy neck as if it had always been that way.
“……. ”
Cascus hated the dark magic that had prevented her from getting better so quickly.
Artia seemed to be putting a tremendous effort into growing her body, as if trying to compensate for the sorrows she had experienced.
“Actually, about what you were worried about before.”
“?”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
“What are you talking about?”
Artia, who was sitting in a chair, stood up, grabbed the backrest, bent her body, and stretched.
“We’ll become rivals as our bodies become similar.”
“Oh, is that a compliment?”
Bending her waist, Artia raised her right leg backward, putting strength into her core.
All the items in the room were used by Artia as exercise equipment.
“I need to be tense too.”
“Sure, you should be tense. I’m catching up so quickly.”
Artia flexed her biceps.
With a strict diet and self-management, Artia’s body was rapidly changing.
‘Every day is surprising.’
Cascus marveled at Artia, who seemed to change every time he slept and woke up.
It was changing to the extent that he wondered if another dark magic was cast on her.
Looking at Artia, who was stretching, Cascus asked, “Are you sure the dark magic is lifted? Is there no feeling that something else is affecting you?”
“It was lifted unexpectedly, but it’s certain. I’m proving it with my body like this.”
As Artia raised her leg backward, she suddenly changed her posture and lay down on the floor.
“Hop, hop, hop.”
She quickly did push-ups, clapping her hands as she lifted her body, then repeated the motion of clapping the floor with her hands and raising her body.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A rhythmic applause echoed in the room.
“……. ”
Cascus silently watched Artia.
Her tremendous passion was conveyed even to Cascus lying on the bed.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
