Certainly, the nervousness was but a moment, and her body naturally became drowsy in the warm atmosphere of the room.
Whether it was exhaustion from training, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Now, only the gentle sounds of breathing and turning pages filled the room.
Jackal turned his head to gaze intently at Asha, who was asleep.
Earlier, she had seemed so embarrassed, but now her expression was completely relaxed, and her sleeping appearance looked innocent like a child.
It was as if a flower deer had boldly come to the hunter’s house, not even dreaming of being caught, and had left for dreamland.
He let out a soft sigh.
She looked so pure, yet she must have suffered greatly by the tyrant’s side.
The woman who, when they first met, was hiding on a snowcovered path, peeking out with only her eyes to look at him.
Her lilac eyes, full of caution and curiosity, were truly clear.
Her name was ‘Camellia,’ and she really was like a camellia flower, blooming proudly alone in a snowy field in midwinter.
Originally, for the sake of the organization’s safety, he would never have brought a strange woman to his home, even more so if she was a woman from a minority village.
But when she told him she had left the village and become a wanderer, a small spark of empathy unknowingly ignited in his chest.
No, was it empathy, or simple curiosity, or even liking? He couldn’t distinguish it now.
Jackal shook his head roughly to clear his thoughts and began to focus on the request papers again.
The requests were mostly to deal with bandits or to hunt wild wolves or boars.
But suddenly, right underneath, there was a piece of paper of a different color.
He paused and slightly frowned.
It was an official document from the royal palace.
Upon a quick scan, it seemed that the royal palace was planning a largescale suppression of the minority ethnic groups by releasing the knights and nobles.
He crumpled the paper and threw it into the roaring fire.
Though it was an official document from the royal palace, to him, it was just firewood to keep her warm.
A few days later, the Cactus Knight Order stepped foot in the northern region’s land.
From a dark mountain far away from the village, they silently watched the light and smoke rising like shadows.
Next to them, the bandit leader was making a fuss.
“That’s it! That’s the stronghold of the Rikaon people!”
The blond man estimated the size of the village by the light and muttered,
“We wait here. We have to wait for them to be off guard.”
[This is the time separator]After a long time, Asha had a night party with her fellow organization members.
They sat in a circle around a bonfire in an open space, roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Jackal sneaked beside her while she was blowing on the hot, wellcooked potato and said,
“You always eat so hard, don’t you?”
“What?”
She blushed at his words while peeling the potato and chewing it.
“It looks good.”
Jackal spoke nonchalantly and took a purple sweet potato himself.
Asha looked at him intently as he blew on the hot sweet potato and bit into it, and said,
“You always eat so deliciously.”
“What?”
“Just looking at the captain eating makes my mouth water.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Yes. It looks good.”
Asha spoke slyly and ate her potato again.
The other organization members were drinking like dead ghosts or oneday flies, laughing and talking loudly.
They may have seemed like people who earn today and spend today, but Asha liked this free and lively atmosphere.
She had always worried about an uncertain future, suffered today, but these people did their best to live and enjoy today, without regretting the past.
“Ouch, it’s hot!”
While laughing at her comrades, Asha carelessly burned her hand and quickly pulled it away from the sweet potato.
“What’s so hot about that?”
Jackal dismissively tried to peel it for her, but the sweet potato just pulled from the fire was truly as hot as charcoal.
“……”
Jackal was momentarily flustered, but his pride was wounded, so he held back and peeled the skin off.
Asha tilted her head, looking at his serious face and reddened fingertips, and asked mischievously,
“Captain, tell me honestly. It’s hot right now, isn’t it?”
“……”
“It feels like you could die from the heat, right?”
Next to her, Jackal swung a roasted sweet potato in her direction, trying to suppress laughter, and said,
“It’s not hot. Stop talking nonsense and blow on it to cool it off. Don’t burn your tongue.”
His words were rough, but as always, there was warmth in his heart.
Jackal finished speaking and surreptitiously put his fingers to his eyes, but Asha pretended not to notice, holding back her laughter.
After enjoying roasted chestnuts and pancakes by the fire, sleepiness soon crept in.
But then he quietly said,
“Let’s talk for a moment, just the two of us.”
“Yes?”
“I have something to give you.”
Asha looked puzzled, but when he got up and walked away, she obediently followed.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
