He was willing to accept anything from her pretty mouth as long as it wasn’t words to stop him.

“Just a little longer.”

“Eriu will think it’s strange……”

Earlier, Eriu, who had been helping her sort out the pharmaceutical warehouse, was frightened but confirmed Scáthach’s wishes when the duke asked her to make way.

Should I not go? She asked with her lips. When Scáthach said it was fine, only then did Eriu nod and make way.

“Are you talking about your friend? If I cared about such things, would I be here with you?”

“I…… care. The duke coming not only to the private room but also to the warehouse…… People will think it’s strange.”

As Scáthach, who said this, tried to get off the duke’s knee, he quickly caught her slender waist and pulled her back.

“I know. That you care.”

“Stop, stop…… I really have to go now.”

Without any further words, he loosened his leather belt with one hand and lifted her skirt, wrapping the belt around her waist and thighs.

Feeling dizzy at his practiced touch, Scáthach tightly closed her eyes.

“……Why are you so thin? Gain some weight.”

He thought she was voluptuous, fitting her curvy body and filling his large hands. However, she was proportionately smallboned.

Even after wrapping her waist and thighs with the belt that had been around his waist, there was quite a bit of strap left over.

She kept her eyes closed tightly, saying nothing. He wanted to shower her with kisses, but he had something to give her.

Quickly, he took out a knife and effortlessly sliced off the excess leather.

“What is this…… Why the belt……”

Without responding, he unhitched the holster containing a small revolver from his waist and attached it to the belt around her thigh.

“……A gun?”

“Yes.”

“Why give this to me……”

“Since you insist on following me to the operation area. Eben Bahar is already under our control and relatively safe, but the place we are going to now is enemy territory. If a woman like you is caught…… there’s a high chance of rape and murder.”

Of course. This man spouts terrible things without a flinch. As Scáthach glared at him, frowning as if nauseated, he burst into laughter.

“If there’s such a guy, shoot him in the head.”

“What if I shoot you with this, your grace?”

Surprisingly, instead of being offended by Scáthach’s words, he chuckled, amused.

“Do you know how to use it?”

“……”

The duke’s point was valid.
스카하가 조금 시무룩해지자 공작은 낮은 웃음을 흘리고는 그녀의 허벅지를 훑어 리볼버를 꺼냈다. 그 손짓이 너무 빨라 조금 놀란 스카하의 손에 그가 리볼버를 쥐여 주었다.

마치 린드코엠 저택에서 그녀를 감옥에서 꺼내 주었던 그날처럼.

“Grab it.”

The woman obediently grasped the grip as he commanded.

The one he usually used was quite large for the woman to handle, and since it didn’t have a special grip, the recoil was quite significant.

So, the small revolver that had been airshipped from Lindtcoem at Eriel’s request had a grip that softened the shock, and it fit the woman’s small hand quite well.

From his point of view, he had only intended to give it as a means of protection to a pretty but frail woman before he knew that she was supporting the Crom Hald military, and he ended up giving it to her sooner than expected.

“You don’t need to aim delicately since you’ll be shooting up close anyway.”

“……Yes.”

“The safety automatically disengages the moment you pull it out, so you can just hook your finger here and pull. Easy, right?”

“……Yes.”

“Keep it in the holster whenever possible. It’s a model without separate safety.”

The woman looked at his side face with a strange and uncomfortable expression. She always looked at him like that when he acted kindly. As if he was someone who shouldn’t be kind.

Cassard turned his head to the woman who was examining his face and smiled, meeting her lips.

“What are you staring at so much?”

“It’s nothing…….”

Cassard, whose voice was getting softer, stroked the woman’s hair and then pressed his lips tightly on her smooth thigh after fixing the revolver back in the holster.

Hoping that she would never have to use it.
