There was no way to know what she had seen growing up, but it was certainly not common for her to have such extraordinary skills imprinted on her body.

“Alright, let’s go again.”

The real body correction began.

Atia’s eyes shone sharply as she tried not to miss even the smallest distortion.

To feel deep into Heidegger’s body, Atia gently opened and closed her eyes.

‘Father, I will make you the oldest man in the Wellington Dukedom.’

According to “The Flowers of Battle”, Heidegger had little life left.

Atia’s determination to save him was sincere.

She vowed to use every method to preserve Heidegger’s excellent physique.

She swore to avoid at all costs the original ending where Heidegger fell into enemy traps, died at the hands of enemies, and even his corpse became beast food.

Thinking so, Atia gave the massage her all.

‘Please live longer than your sons.’

Atia’s fingertips were filled with more strength.

‘Maybe because you use your shoulders a lot, the area around the scapular muscles is more knotted than it looks.’

As she pressed that area precisely, Heidegger flinched.

At the sight of his large body twitching, Atia just barely held back her laughter.

‘Father, you’re like a hamster.’

To be precise, a battle hamster.

Atia enjoyed this moment with a chuckle.

On the other hand.

Heidegger was trying to stay awake, remembering how he had fallen asleep too easily during the last massage.

There was a world of difference between not knowing anything and defending oneself after having experienced it once.

However, he was already crumbling under Atia’s touch.

Feeling his eyes growing heavy, Heidegger was reminded of how weak he was.

“If you’re tired, it’s okay to sleep, Father.”

Atia’s smooth voice echoed in Heidegger’s ear.

If he died and went to heaven, this must be what it felt like.

“Sigh…….”

There was no end to learning techniques.

When you reach a certain level, you can see things that others can’t see.

If you concentrate with all your might, you can know the other person’s body condition very well through your fingertips.

You become able to feel the blood flow, the pulse speed, the skin temperature, and even what’s beneath the skin layers.

This helps to catch errors that can only be judged by appearance.

Again, a delicate part of Heidegger’s body was caught by Atia’s fingertips.

Heidegger flinched again and furrowed his brow.

“You, you…….”

In his drowsiness, Atia received the title of ‘you’.

“Yes, Father?”

“No.”

Heidegger was at a loss for words due to the sudden attack of aromatherapy.

“Looking at it, you seem to have a problem here too. It might hurt a bit more this time.”

Crack!

Crack!

A tremendous sound of bones echoed from Heidegger.

The longstiffened shoulders seemed to come loose.

“You, you, save me!”

For the first time in his life, Heidegger cried out for someone to save him.

‘I should check today.’

Casus decided to confirm today whether Atia was biologically female.

Contrary to appearance, she might be hiding something as big and heavy as his underneath.
‘I have never seen such a woman.’

All the women Casus had seen so far were all elegant. They were gentle, and never did any physical work.

They mainly focused on dressing up, pondering over what ornament to put on their hair, how to appear more splendid.

There was never a woman who, like Atia, wielded a weapon without training or made strange war cries.

Could a spirit of a war enthusiast have entered the frail woman’s body?

If not?

‘Has an unknown toptier monster disguised itself as Atia?’

Perhaps.

Yes, perhaps Atia had died a long time ago, and the Harad family used a monster to create a figure that looked exactly like her.

It was strange to imagine that.

‘Then why did they spare Leo and me? To reassure the opponent and get something bigger?’

Casus narrowed his eyebrows in contemplation.

When had it started?

From when the previously quiet Atia started to run wild.

That was when his perfect plan had started to go awry.

Casus had never had any plan or schedule distorted before.

But now, everything he planned was flowing in a different direction than expected.

Upon reflection, the decision of his father, Hideger, to postpone his outing and stay in the Duke’s residence was also because of that woman.

Hideger, with his sharp intuition, could not but keep an eye on the suspicious woman.

If he considered all the minor events that went wrong because of Atia, there was no end.

A woman whose actions were unpredictable.

For Casus, who lived regularly and followed established rules, it was the worst.

“Where is she now?”

Casus asked his servants about Atia’s whereabouts.

“She is in the Duke’s office, sir.”

‘With my father?’

Casus’s eyes widened.

“What is she doing there?”

“We… we don’t know, sir.”

At the servants’ answer, Casus furrowed his brows.

She was truly unpredictable.

What would she be up to next, staying beside his father?

Normally, he would trust Hideger’s response, but the situation was different now since it involved Atia.

No matter what he imagined, she always surpassed it.

Casus immediately moved his feet.

Hideger’s office.

Standing in front of the office door, a faint sound reached Casus’s ears.

It sounded like groaning or the breaking of bones.

‘Father?’

Thud!

Casus opened the office door without knocking.

“Gasp!”

For a moment,

Casus’s mouth dropped open.

As the servants said, Atia was indeed in his father’s office.

Then, a whiff of aroma stimulated his nostrils.

On the sofa in the office, a shirtless Hideger lay face down with his eyes closed.

He seemed to be deep in sleep.

“What are you doing?”

With his heart pounding hard, Casus barely managed to speak.

His father lay on the sofa, receiving a massage.

And Atia was standing next to his father.

Hideger never slept in front of others.

But now, he didn’t even notice his son entering and was comfortably sleeping.

It was an unfamiliar sight for Casus.

Unconsciously, Casus clenched his fists.

“I asked what you are doing!”

Casus found it hard to accept this picture.

Just a while ago, Casus was strolling the greenhouse with Atia, eating Lars fruits together, and putting a Hyacinth flower in her ear.

Not only did he awkwardly explain about flowers and plants, he even swallowed his pride to say thank you.

When he raised his head after saying thank you,

Atia had already disappeared from the greenhouse.

Since then,

Casus couldn’t concentrate on his work all day, he was so worried.

And now. My father and Atia were together.

While he was struggling to the point of not being able to hold anything in his hand.
Unlike himself, she seemed to be doing well with such a bright demeanor.

With a truly nonchalant face.

Atia, who had been eager to run away when she was with him, was getting along well with her father.

Casus was angry watching this.

It was undoubtedly a shock, he just wasn’t showing it outwardly.

Contrary to him, Atia looked at Casus with a calm face and put her index finger on her lips.

“Shush! Be quiet.”

“What?”

“Hush, father is asleep.”

Atia, who was calling him ‘father’ as if nothing was wrong, in this already crazy situation.

To her own husband, she only ever referred as ‘Duke.’

Casus felt his blood pressure shooting up.

He looked again at Haideger, who was lying on the couch, sound asleep like a baby.

How comfortable must he have been to sleep with someone so close?

Never once had he shown that side to his own son.

Was this really the ‘Legend of the Fel Empire’, Duke Haideger Wellington?

He wondered if it was someone else wearing his father’s disguise.
