“Can’t you stay with me just a little bit longer? I know I’m a pitiful sight, but just for a moment… okay?”
She looked up at him with pleading eyes.
Those eyes were so pitiful that Christine had to look away.
“Just a little bit.”
“Thank you…”
Adel’s face looked like she was about to cry, but then she smiled again. However, she hesitated to get up for a while.
“I’ll sit down for a moment and then get up. My legs are a bit weak.”
Suddenly, Adel’s body was lifted up.
“Chris!”
“If you’re going to say you’re okay, keep your mouth shut. Really… I’m leaving.”
Holding Adel, he threatened her with a petulant face.
Adel chuckled at the familiar expression she had always seen.
“Uh, I won’t.”
And then she tightly hugged his thick neck.
She was still trembling with fear, and her heartbeat would not settle down. But being in his wide embrace felt surprisingly comforting and reassuring.
It was the first time since her mother passed away.
Leaning on someone like this.
Her heart was beating a bit faster.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“You’ve opened the wound.”
After laying Adel down on the bed, he treated her hand first.
The wound she had sustained while swinging a dagger last time had reopened.
“It’s not a big wound, so it’s fine.”
Christine seemed to swallow his words for a moment, then covered her with a blanket.
“Just sleep without thinking.”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep.”
“Want some wine?”
There happened to be wine on the fireplace.
Her bedroom, like the rest of the house, was cozy and charming. The heavy oakcolored furniture was adorned with white cotton bedding embroidered with flowers, and bright tapestries and dried flowers decorated the walls.
The wine on the fireplace seemed a bit out of place in this room.
“If you drink it on an empty stomach, it will hurt.”
She was hungry as she had been busy baking pies and attending to guests.
“Can you bring me something to eat?”
“Thanks, but I don’t think anything will go down…”
Adel, meeting Christine’s fierce eyes, made an awkward face.
“Sorry. I’m being difficult.”
“I know.”
As Christine turned his body to leave the room,
“You’re not leaving, are you?”
Adel’s surprised voice followed him.
He smiled reassuringly at her pitiful voice.
“I’ll be right back.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]When Christine returned to the room, he was carrying a wooden tray.
On it were neatly packed apple pie, milk, and a few fruits.
“All I found to eat was this.”
Adel was embarrassed as if pointing out the poverty of her household.
She had recently spent all her money on dessert ingredients, so the pantry was nearly empty.
“It’s just because it’s before meal preparation. If you look, there are potatoes and mushrooms…”
Christine handed her a triangular piece of pie.
“Eat up. You’re nothing but bones, and I heard them rattle as I carried you.”
“That’s not true… Uh!”
Christine had shoved the pie into her mouth.
“It is true. If you had taken one good hit from those guys, you would have broken in several places.”
“Uuuuuh… That’s… not… ya.”
Adel couldn’t speak properly with a mouthful of pie.
“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”
Christine, bringing his ear to her mouth, nodded as if he understood.
“Oh, I was right?”
“… Don’t… make… up… stuff!”
“So you’re too grateful, and you don’t know how to repay this favor?”
“Ya!”
“Well, if you’re that grateful, you can do me one favor.”
Christine gave her a pretty eye smile, waiting for her heart to weaken.
“What is it… if it’s possible?”
She owed him, so she had to return the favor. It was definitely not because of his eye smile. Definitely not.
“It’s not difficult.”
“Tell me.”
“I want to move into your house.”
Adel cocked her head.
“You’re already in, aren’t you?”
“For a while.”
“For a while?”
“I’m likely to be assigned to the Royal Guard soon. So, I won’t be able to return to my estate and will have to stay near the palace.”
“But our house is far from the palace. You could easily find a nice mansion nearby.”
Certainly! Here’s the translation:
“Of course, I found it. Right in front of the palace. But it needs repairs, and I need to hire people, so I need a place to stay for a while.”
“But there’s no suitable place for you to stay in our house……”
“The second floor isn’t being used, so I’ll use that.”
“Chris, I told you. There’s nothing good about being involved with me.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t cause any misunderstandings with your man.”
“That’s not what I mean.”
“If it’s the princess, don’t worry. April will understand.”
April……
Right, he had the princess, didn’t he? Calling her name affectionately.
So there won’t be any other intentions.
I’m worrying unnecessarily.
“Give me some time to think.”
“What if something like today happens again?”
Adel flinched without realizing it.
“You feel the danger enough to carry a sword all the time, don’t you? You’re not enjoying this dangerous situation, are you?”
“Of course not.”
Having experienced such a thing, Eiton won’t come again. But there’s no law that says this won’t happen again.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
