Just a few hours ago, what did the two of them do on this bed?

Seyerd, who first laid Kisa down here with a polite touch, showered her with kisses.

In contrast to the ones they shared in the corridor, these kisses were sweet and somewhat coquettish.

Suddenly, as Kisa was lost in the daze of contact with him, she heard a thud sound in her ears.

It turned out to be the sound of the coat she had taken off with her own hands and casually placed on the bed earlier, falling to the floor due to their movements.

As if that sound was some sort of turning point, Seyerd’s lips pulled away.

Kisa caught her breath and realized that the buttons of her sleepwear were half undone.

Moreover, the buttons on Seyerd’s white shirt were all in the same state without exception.

Why was that? In that moment, a slight fear suddenly rose.

‘We’re really doing it.’

She was stepping into an unknown world that she had never known before.

She had no intention of backing out after coming this far, but feeling nervous was inevitable.

But then, Seyerd, who was looking down at his lover while sitting up, silently reached out and took Kisa’s hand.

Soon, a white hand touched his left chest.

Thump, thump. Through the bare skin without a single layer of cloth, Kisa felt a fierce heartbeat.

“I love you.”

A confession that came almost simultaneously with it.

An expression that showed not a hint of composure, slightly trembling eyes, and a desperate voice.

Ah, Seyerd was the same as me.

Kisa realized.

At this moment, the two of them were not much different from each other.

Then, the last remaining fear disappeared like melting snow.

It was adorable to see the usually composed man suffering from desire and showing impatience in front of her.

And as long as she was with this person she loved, she could face any unknown world together.

Kisa, who removed her hand from his heart, willingly opened her arms.

Welcoming the strange intruder who suddenly appeared in her life one day and stole her heart.

Seyerd, as if finding such Kisa lovely, carefully brushed her hair aside and pulled the remaining buttons.

Then, with a hasty touch…

Suddenly, Kisa shook her head vigorously.

From that point on, it was very embarrassing, so it was difficult to recall the detailed memories with a sober mind.

‘It’s ridiculous. To do even more shameless things with a clear mind.’

While mocking herself with one side of her mind, Kisa buried her face in the pillow and wrapped her body tightly with the sheet.

Seyerd, seeing her, made a puzzled sound.

“Kisa?”

She wanted to hide. She had no idea how to face Seyerd now.

How did they spend such a passionate and sorrowful time at dawn? It felt like she was under a spell.

Then, a gentle laugh was heard above her head.

Seyerd, as if he knew why Kisa was acting that way, stroked her disheveled hair on the bed.

“Are you hungry? I’ll tell the servants to bring breakfast and lunch.”

Hearing that, Kisa nodded her head buried in the pillow, realizing that she was indeed hungry.

“Then I’ll go tell them and come back soon, so please wait a moment. Ah, and I placed Kisa’s clothes on the table over there. Just in case you were looking for them.”

After saying that, Seyerd leaned in and kissed Kisa’s ear with a peck, then lifted his body from the bed.

Glancing up, she saw him putting on his crumpled shirt in the blink of an eye and heading towards the door.

After the sound of the door opening and closing was heard, Kisa hurriedly started to take action.

She was determined to quickly get dressed before Seyerd returned.

Staying in her original form even after lovemaking was over for a long time?

It was something Kisa’s common sense could not tolerate.

So she hurriedly got out of bed, but.

“Ugh.”

A groan involuntarily escaped from Kisa’s mouth before she could take a few steps. It was due to the dull pain felt throughout her body.

For a noble lady whose only exercise was taking a walk at a brisk pace, making love was quite a strenuous act.

Above all, the love Seyerd showed at dawn was too passionate and immense for the inexperienced Kisa to handle.

‘I didn’t expect it to be to that extent…’

No, that’s not what’s important right now.

Kisa walked to the table with great difficulty, calming her face that was heating up without her realizing it.

Judging from the circumstances, it seemed that he had read Kisa’s shy heart and deliberately left the room for her.

It was quite annoying to see him looking composed unlike herself who could barely walk properly, but she couldn’t let his consideration go to waste.

“Ah, here it is.”

As Seyerd said, the sleepwear Kisa had been wearing until dawn was neatly folded on the table.

Did he fold it? The last time she saw it, it was entangled with Seyerd’s clothes and thrown on the floor.

Anyway, Kisa moved her body that lacked strength and put on the sleepwear.

However, in the process, she realized one unexpected fact.

It was the vivid traces of the dawn clearly left on her neck and collarbone.

“…Right. That happened.”

Come to think of it, it was natural that the marks left here could not be covered even with clothes.

Strangely, it didn’t cross her mind at all at that time.

More precisely, there was no room to pay attention to such things.

Kisa rubbed her skin for a while, unable to do anything, and eventually gave up.

Suddenly, something like a scarf wouldn’t pop out of nowhere, so how could she cover it up?

As she was sitting on a chair, giving up and tapping her particularly stiff back, Seyerd returned.

“I asked them to prepare the meal here. Please wait a moment.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“…Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”

“What eyes?”

When asked that, he sat next to Kisa with an embarrassed expression.

“You’re too much. Earlier, you wouldn’t even give me a glance, and now you’re glaring at me.”

“I, I wasn’t glaring.”

Kisa retorted at Seyerd’s words, but she averted her gaze out of embarrassment.

Honestly speaking, it seemed that a slightly resentful feeling was reflected in her eyes. Just a little.

But isn’t that too much? In such a visible place…

‘It’s not like you left other places spotless either.’

Moreover, there was a sense of injustice that she was the only one suffering.

Look at that refreshing and fluffy appearance, unlike someone who had just woken up a while ago.

It seemed that Seyerd had woken up long before Kisa and had already washed up.

Although Kisa’s body wasn’t particularly sticky, probably due to his care, looking at her reflection in the mirror, the exhaustion was undeniable.

On top of that, Kisa was also suffering from a slight hangover as she had drunk more than her usual capacity last night, so it was a double whammy.

He rested his chin on the table and made a “hmm” sound while looking at Kisa.

“Somehow, I think I know what you’re thinking.”

“…Really? Is it that obvious?”

Kisa, who was awkwardly placing her hand on her neck, stiffened her body.

Then, Seyerd smiled brightly.

“Because we’re close. I can somehow tell. Rather than that, how about we call it even?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The things that Kisa is dissatisfied with me about.”

His voice lowered as if he was talking about something secret.

“Actually, my back is a bit stinging too.”

“Your back?”

Kisa’s eyes widened.

She couldn’t fathom the reason why he was complaining about back pain.

Suddenly, what about his back? Did he hurt his back?

As Kisa was recalling her memory for a moment, her face suddenly turned red.

Looking back calmly, there was one person who had dug her nails into Seyerd’s back at dawn.

Though she had no intention of hurting him.

“…Alright.”

She answered in a meek voice.

Let’s call it even.

Not long after that, their breakfast and lunch were delivered.

The person who appeared pulling the trolley with the food was Lily, the maid of the ducal family that Seyerd had assigned to Kisa before.

Embarrassed by the appearance of a familiar face, Kisa pretended to be distracted while Lily prepared the meal.

However, Lily finished the preparations without showing any signs and then politely said enjoy your meal with her usual smiling face before leaving.

As expected of a servant of the Hillan ducal family.

“If you need my help, please let me know.”

“Thank you for the offer, but I can eat with my own hands.”

Kisa firmly refused Seyerd’s offer to feed her himself.

It’s not like both of her arms were broken, so she absolutely could not tolerate being fed like a baby.

By the way, it was his scary point that she couldn’t distinguish whether he was joking or being serious.

Even after finishing the meal, which mainly consisted of light dishes, the two of them did not leave the room.

Somehow, it felt like if they left this place, this time would also end.

Seyerd brought urgent work to do here and occasionally massaged Kisa’s body, who complained of muscle aches.

Kisa watched him with her body loosely stretched out in drowsiness.

“You know, Seyerd.”

Then, Kisa, who was leaning against her lover’s shoulder while sitting on the sofa, opened her mouth.

“When we get married and go to the estate, let’s first go and greet your parents and brother.”

The graves of the three people would naturally be located in the Hillan family’s estate.

Now that she thought about formally becoming his family, she suddenly wanted to introduce herself to them properly.

“…Alright. Let’s do that.”

Seyerd nodded, then said, “By the way,” and brought up something else.

“Actually, unlike my parents, my brother’s coffin was buried in the capital.”

“What?”

It was an unexpected story.
