A heat that strangely engulfed his whole body, and he almost pushed her away in front of many people.

That moment, a sensation that he had lost for a long time, exploded.

Even since then, whenever his body touched hers, a strange thrill covered his body.

He thought it was a needless illusion……

But the moment he realized that it was not an illusion had come.

The day she surprised him with a sudden kiss after drinking a bottle of his wine.

A strong desire that was frighteningly explosive took over his body in an instant.

At that moment, he wanted to devour her like a starving beast.

He gathered the patience hidden deep in his bones and barely pushed her away. Then, an accident occurred where he threw her out of the bed.

It wasn’t intentional. It was merely a catastrophe created by his body, unable to withstand the unfamiliar instinctual sensation.

The day he kissed in front of that Bens fellow was no different either.

He desperately resisted the urge to steal and swallow all of her breath entangled in his mouth.

His body, which used to be unresponsive, reacts to her.

He doubted it many times.

He thought about it and denied it, even with the possibility.

But today.

The moment her skin that was buried in his arms touched him,

The pain of resisting the urge to make her completely his right away was greater than the pain of pressing the wound.

The fact that he was not mistaken was not the certainty that he had regained his desire, which he thought had disappeared.

“I must have Silvia investigate it quickly.”

It was the certainty of his rightful suspicion towards Lamein.

“Hmm…….”

Lamein, who had been tossing and turning, slowly opened her eyelids.

‘Is it dawn?’

She slowly got up, looking at the bluish world outside the window.

“……Where has he gone?”

Cedric’s place on the bed was empty.

With her eyes still not fully awake, she looked around the room.

“If he’s going to do this, why does he insist on sleeping beside me?”

She recalled the original story content where Cedric would leave Lamein alone every night of their combined chambers and only return at dawn.

“Well, he said he wanted to show me. What can I do?”

As she stretched her arms to yawn, Lamein stopped in place and opened her eyes wide.

“I’m sure I had a dream of some sort…….”

Could it be related to Lamein’s memory?

She lowered her outstretched arms and rolled her deepened eyes around, struggling to recall the dream.

She couldn’t remember the content of the dream at all. However,

It was different from the nightmares she had been having in succession.

No, it was completely different. It was a warm and very cozy dream.

Now, she stopped her head moving side to side as she thought and stood still.

“……Cedric?”

What’s going on? Why did her husband’s face suddenly pop into her head?

She frowned at the face of her husband that suddenly popped into her mind.

Click.

At that moment, the door opened, and the person who had caused her to frown appeared.

“You’re awake……. Why are you looking at me like that?”

Cedric, who had taken a step into the room, stopped in his tracks.

He had only opened the door and entered, but his wife’s eyes were falling on him, as if he should leave immediately.

“Oh. No, that’s not it. But where have you been?”

Lamein somewhat smoothed the eyes she had been frowning.

“I went for a little walk.”

“A walk?”

“Yes.”

With that body?

‘He must have hated being with me quite a lot.’

……I’ll be the only one suffering if I keep thinking like this.
She didn’t throw up more because it was expected anyway. Instead.

“I will go back to my room. I want to rest alone.”

Thinking of her injured husband’s body because of her, she decided to give way.

As she got up from her seat, put on her robe, and headed quickly toward the door, Cedric’s gaze stubbornly followed her.

“Do you have something to say?”

She asked, turning her head slightly.

“Not at all.”

He erased his persistent gaze and smiled faintly.

“Then lie down and rest. Really.”

She spoke softly, her eyes fixed on the white bandage revealed between the open robe.

“I will do so.”

Lamein left the room only after hearing Cedric’s response.

.

.

.

Lamein had fallen, and Cedric was injured.

At the same time, the mansion was in chaos due to the unfortunate events that befell the couple.

Lady Roger’s worried nagging poured out, and as a result, she could not even step outside the mansion.

Thus, a week passed.

For a whole week, Lamein immersed herself in books about herbs and medicine she had organized in the study.

Being familiar with medical literature, she did not find it difficult to read.

It was even interesting.

“Really, these herbs exist? Amazing? Should I find them all and sell them once?”

She might even become the richest person in the kingdom if done well.

“But where on earth did Lamein keep the medicine?”

She searched the room thoroughly, but found nothing.

For a week, no other memories of Lamein came to mind, and she did not even dream.
