Artizea stared up at Cedric in a daze.
“May I come in?”
Cedric asked as Artizea hesitated. Artizea stepped back in confusion.
She didn’t think he couldn’t come in or that she would hate it, but she was so surprised that she just wondered what this was about.
It was four days ago that Lysia left.
She was told that it took three days on horseback to go to the fortress at the Thold Gate. So she thought it would take at least three or four more days for Lysia to return.
And there’s no way Cedric can return at this point.
The dispute could not have ended so swiftly.

It was not a problem of returning the kidnapped Karam child.
20,000 warriors gathered. When that number is gathered, it doesn’t end by saying,’The situation is over, so scatter’.
Individual interests, interests between forces, and other interests will be intertwined.
Most of all, if they have gathered that much, they will think that they have to fight.
“What happened? When did you arrive?”
“I just got here.”
He would. Cedric was wearing a windbreaker cloak covered with dust and snow. As soon as he entered the stronghold, he seemed to go straight to Artizea’s room.
Cedric said.
“Originally, I was going to write a letter, but the word seldom comes out.”

“What?”
“There are some things I need to tell you, some things I’d like to discuss with you, but I couldn’t write the first sentence. That’s why I just came.”
“Are you having a big problem with something?”
She asked so nervously. She couldn’t accept Cedric’s words saying that the first sentence could not be written literally.
She wondered what more perplexing and serious things had arisen that couldn’t be explained with more than just a few sentences
Cedric smiled and looked at her.
“Well, it’s a serious problem that I need your advice, but I’ll put it off first. This is more urgent.”
“What?”
Artizea blinked her eyes.

“I wanted to come see you before you left for the capital.”
Half was true, the other half was a lie. This is because there was no need to come in such a hurry if he were just coming to see her. But it was true that he wanted to come.
Cedric opened his arms and embraced her.
Because he moved so slowly, Artizea could tell that she would be hugged by him. But, knowingly, she was startled and stiffened her body.
A soft touch pressed over her lips. By the time she realized it was a kiss, he had already had her feet in the air.
“You got lighter?”
“That, I don’t.”
Artizea barely replied.
Cedric lifted her lightly with one arm and unbuckled his dusty cloak with his other hand.

The belt and coat, with his sword and gun hanging from it, fell to the floor.
Artizea impulsively bent her body and wrapped his face with her two hands.
Cedric’s face was a little cold. It was because he was outside with the cold wind for a long time.
“Are you busy?”
“I’m not.”
“How about your body? Do you feel sick?”
“No, I’m not sick.”
Artizea said, trembling her body. It seemed that her body temperature had risen a few degrees. She even felt hot at her eyelids so she couldn’t keep her eyes open properly.
Cedric laughed.

“That’s a relief.”
“What?”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold out if you’re in a bad condition like last time.”
The end of his words became a whisper.
His hot breath was mixed up with hers. Cedric put Artizea down on the bed.

When Artizea opened her eyes, it was dark everywhere.
Her body was hot. It’s been a long time since she slept so warmly. To be precise, it was the first time ever since she got off a ship coming to Evron Grand Duchy. In the port city, she was so exhausted that she was in a state of fainting rather than sleeping.
Interestingly, it made her realize, by the temperature more than the feeling, that her body was falling asleep in contact with Cedric’s arms.

Her body was quite comfortable. She could hardly feel the stiffness of her fingers or the soreness of her shoulder, which was usually painful every time she woke up.
“Uh……”
Still, the sound of pain came out. Her muscles, which she usually didn’t know existed, appealed for their presence here and there.
The bed rocked. Artizea looked back subconsciously.
Cedric, lying next to her, reached out his arm and lit a candle. And he turned his body toward Artizea.
Artizea stared at his face in a vague mood. It was still an unrealistic feeling that this man was lying next to her.
Then Cedric stretched his arms towards her. Cedric’s arms were lightly wrapped around her stomach.
Artizea closed her eyes tightly. She could hardly open her eyes and look at him.
“You can sleep if you are confident that you could sleep until morning, but it would be better to open your eyes for a while. It’s still evening.”

A soft voice penetrated into her ear. A trembling passed over Artizea’s skin.
