“Fine.”
As soon as he finished untying the knot, Brody hastily moved away and turned the chemise over.
Heat rising to her face had already spread to her nape, making it seem like he would discover it.
Compared to the formal clothes she had just worn, the thin chemise brought a sudden cold rush.
Aidan quickly lifted the blanket as he saw Brody huddling to wrap her shoulders. Then he sat on the bed and called her.
“Come here.”
“Huh? Ah, yes.”
It wasn’t her first time. Why was she so tense?
Was she trembling due to the cold, or due to nervousness?
Wishing to appear composed, Brody slowly approached the bed.
As she sat, Aidan neatly spread the blanket over her.
Even covered with the blanket, the now-cold bedding didn’t easily warm Brody.
Aidan stretched out his hand upon seeing Brody’s trembling grip on the blanket.
“Cold, isn’t it?”
Startled by his sudden movement, Brody was comforted by the warmth of his touch.
“It… seems so.”
“Your hands are cold.”
Pulling her close, Aidan wrapped his arms halfway around her and said,
“Just endure it a bit, it will be over soon.”
“….”
Endure what? What will be over soon?
Swallowing hard, Brody looked puzzledly at Aidan.
Perhaps taking that as a signal, Aidan nodded.
“Then, let’s call them now.”
Huh? What? But before she could question or stop him, it was too late.
Aidan rang the prepared bell without hesitation.
The sound, clear yet piercing, spread throughout the room.
Brody tightly bit her trembling lips.
Unrelated to her indecisiveness, sounds of movement came from outside.
Soon, the door slowly opened, and the silhouettes of two clergy appeared.
They stood at the foot of the bed where the two sat.
Perhaps due to the quiet atmosphere or the deep darkness of the night, the two clergy seemed even more solemn than usual.
Brody’s pupils swayed.
‘Surely not… Surely it’s not an observed marital union, is it?’
In a previous life, wasn’t it a fantasy world setting where people did such things?
‘Am… am I crazy?’
If that was the case…
‘I can’t do it. What should I do?’
Should she escape now, binding all three of them with vines?
She was seriously contemplating.
The silhouettes of the clergy holding candles faintly glowed.
They solemnly raised their hands.
In the hand of Assistant Clergy Adonia was a ceremonial vessel, engraved with beautiful patterns.
Latua sprinkled something onto the bed and said,
“Let blessings be upon this holy union of husband and wife.”
It must be holy water.
Hit by a few drops of the cold water, Brody shivered.
Whether due to nervousness or because her body was shaking like a quaking aspen, it was embarrassing how much she was relying on Aidan’s support.
“Then, please take your places.”
“…!”
Wait. Really? Really?
Thump, thump. Brody’s heart pounded painfully, more violently than when on a vertical drop ride at an amusement park, or when nervously expecting a ghost in a haunted house.
Damn these crazy ancients! This isn’t right!
Though shouting inwardly, Aidan pulled her shoulders back.
“Wait, Your Highness, this is…”
“Shh. It’s alright. You don’t need to be scared.”
Aidan seemed worried by Brody’s trembling and comforted her.
Then he tightly wrapped his arm around her shoulders as he lay down, pulling the blanket up to cover them both properly.
Adonia handed Latua a neatly folded cloth and unfurled it at the same time.
With a rustling sound, the white cloth billowed out grandly.
The two of them caught the floating cloth on each side and drew it over the quilt where Brody and Aiden lay.
Looking down with rabbit-like eyes, the cloth was intricately embroidered with gold thread in a pattern symbolizing ‘Adear Grachegyo.’
“‘Is this supposed to make everything okay?!'”
While Brody was inwardly screaming, the two clergy members sat down slowly on the floor, facing the bed where the two lay.
And then they stood up, quietly leaving the room.
“‘Ha!'”
The moment the two sat down, Brody was one second away from activating her plant mage abilities. She had thought they were settling down for the night.
But fortunately! They were just collecting the tableware they had set down.
When the door slammed shut, Brody involuntarily let out a big sigh.
Her hands were full of cold sweat, and her heart felt like it would jump out of her mouth.
Whoosh. Like the wind being let out of a balloon, she, who had been tensed up, finally felt like she was about to burst into tears.
“‘That was a close call. Really. I was about to leave the North, contracts be damned.'”
As Brody gradually slowed her breathing, seeking calm, she saw a man half-embracing her in front of her eyes.
“‘Ah… um… it’s not over yet.'”
After the clergy had left, Aiden pulled Brody even closer to him.
“‘Ah.'”
Brody was surprised. Not shockingly surprised but more like unexpectedly so.
It had been a while. Seeing him lying like this…
Through the loosely hung Shimizu, Brody saw his firm collarbone. Watching his body rise and fall as he breathed, she became lost in thought.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
