“Give me freedom.”
At Brody’s words, the Duke of Bingbyeok looked at her with a puzzled expression.
“Fre……edom?”
Brody, feeling tense, sensed her lips chattering away. Unconsciously, she kept biting her lips, fidgeting with them.
“Um…….”
Brody tried to open her mouth to explain further. She was planning to offer him tips on brewing his favorite tea and growing small plants.
However, Aiden’s lips opened first.
“It’s not that hard.”
“……Yes?”
Brody looked at Aiden with wide eyes, doubting her ears.

“I’ll command it to be so. No one shall stop you. You can go wherever you want without anyone’s permission.”
“……Yes?”
“What you asked for is only natural. Didn’t I tell you? I will welcome you as the Grand Duke’s consort. So soon, your will shall be considered as mine.”
“Ah…….”
Aiden looked at Brody’s complexion. He couldn’t find the expression he had wanted from her face.
“I’m granting your wish…… Aren’t you happy?”
He muttered, a sense of regret in his voice.
Brody caught his muttering and hastily smiled.
“Ah…… Haha, yes! Freedom! Yes! I’m so surprised that you granted it so readily! I’m happy, very happy!”
Brody inwardly wiped away tears, clapping her hands.

She didn’t understand the particularity of this world. That was Brody’s failure.
‘Escaping from captivity.’ She simply thought that was freedom.
Brody gave up on explaining more here. It didn’t seem like he would allow it. No, it didn’t seem like a good picture would come out even if he did.
‘Well, never mind. I’ve escaped the prisoner’s treatment. Just have to wait for the right moment.’
In fact, when the Duke and the soldiers had gone out, Brody thought she could escape if she wanted to.
But she hadn’t even tried, as leaving without finishing what she had started would endanger too many lives.
But now that things had wrapped up.
As Brody was lost in thought for a moment, Aiden continued to examine her face.
She said she was happy, but it felt lacking somehow.
Feeling Aiden’s gaze, Brody stood up and asked,

“Shall I brew some tea after a long time?”
“Brody.”
Aiden called Brody as she was standing up.
Brody looked back at Aiden, smiling as if asking ‘why?’
“Just don’t make it strong enough to faint.”
Brody’s hand jumped, strength rushing in. If she had been holding something, she would have dropped it.
“……Yes?”
“I thought something might have burnt. Of course, it wasn’t from the beginning.”
“Um…… Uh…….”
“Didn’t you say you were skilled in herbs? I thought it made sense.”

“Your Highness……. That’s…….”
Brody turned pale. As Aiden approached her, she instinctively stepped back.
Seeing Brody’s fear, Aiden stopped, looking bitter.
“I’m not blaming you. I just……. ”
Aiden reached out.
Brody was out of his reach.
He finished his words.
“I trust you that much. Surprisingly so.”
Brody looked at his hand, cowering.
Her heart pounded madly at his words.

Her eyes wavered, and she unknowingly bit her lip hard.
‘But…….’
But Brody was not ready to respond to him.
“I’ll, I’ll brew the tea.”
She ignored his hand and quickly turned, running to the hearth.
Aiden drew his hand back, feeling the tips grow cold.
Brody put water on the hearth, with her back to Aiden.
‘He knew? That I had brewed the tea with Mehsu?’
Her hand holding the pot trembled slightly.
‘And yet he just drank it?’

Brody had vaguely sensed his affection for her for some time now.
At first, she thought he might just want a relationship…….
No, of course, he wanted her that way too…….
That’s not all.
‘How could you not know? You look at me like that.’
It wasn’t easy to pretend not to feel the hot gaze every morning when waking up.
She pretended not to know because he moved hurriedly, seeming embarrassed, when she tried to get up.
Brody couldn’t understand well.
No, it was too awkward.
That someone’s affection would pour out to her.
‘Yes, I solved his headache. Though I haven’t succeeded yet, I think I can solve the prisoner problem, and the food problem as well.’

So Brody had suppressed his feelings for her.
He just appreciated a competent subordinate who did her job well.
But…….
How could that be?
‘My life could be at risk. How can you trust me… that much….’
A strange emotion surged in.
Was it because of the heat of the fire? Her face started to flush.
But the throbbing of her heart couldn’t be explained as being because of the fire.
Wishing the tea would boil slowly, and that the time for brewing tea would not end, she moved slower than usual.
Cruelly enough, a wellbrewed cup of tea was eventually prepared.

Without hesitation, Brody moved the teacup.
The warm and bitter scent familiarly stimulated Ian’s nose.
He laughed weakly, accepting the teacup.
“Thank you.”
He elegantly savored the scent, then again, without doubt, firmly gulped down the tea.
Brody, watching him, was nervously biting her lip. She looked more anxious than Ian who had drunk the tea.
Ian’s eyes began to glaze over after drinking the tea. But he remained in a dazed state, not falling asleep.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

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.]
