105 "Fangirl" (1/2)
”KIHO, are you okay?” Tilly asked worriedly when her husband came back to the chamber. There was blood stain in his shirt and it almost made her heart stop. ”Are you injured? Should we call a doctor?”
”It's not my blood, Tilly,” Kiho assured her. ”I'm sorry for making you worry.”
”No, it's okay,” she said. ”Did the enemy get away?”
He nodded, frustration written all over his face. ”I'm sorry, Tilly. Next time, I won't let them escape.”
”It's okay, hon,” she consoled him. Then, she cupped his face between her hands. His body was colder than usual. He might have used his Mana. ”Are you sure that you're not hurt anywhere?”
”Yes, the enemy paralyzed me for a bit but other than that, I'm fine,” he said, then he shifted his face to kiss her palm. ”I'm so glad that Miss Luna sent me here tonight. I don't know what I'd do if you were attacked when I wasn't here.”
”Don't worry, hon. They can't kill me easily,” she assured him. ”I'm strong. I can burn those b*tches like how I roasted the b*tchy princess.”
He stifled a laugh at her attempt to lighten up his mood. ”Don't tempt me, honey. You know that I like hearing you say bad words.”
She giggled at that.
I'll talk dirty to him later and see how he'll react.
”Tomorrow is your big day so get some rest, honey,” he said. Then, much to her surprise, he carried her in his arms– causing her to wrap her arms around his neck. ”I'll guard you so you can sleep peacefully.”
”But you need to rest, too.”
”I can manage,” he said. Then, he gently put her down on the bed. He even pulled the blanket up to her neck for her before he sat beside her. ”When I'm in a war, my men and I take turns in sleeping so I'm used to staying up all night.”
”Then, let's take turns as well,” she offered. ”Wake me up after three hours. I'll be the one to guard you while you sleep.”
He smiled as if he found her cute. ”Sure.”
The way he said that made her realize that he had no intention of waking her up after three hours. He probably just said that to avoid a light argument with her.
Gosh, he's so overprotective.
”Kiho?”
”Hmm?”
”What kind of enemy was it this time?” she asked carefully. ”Are they really as strong as the Moonchesters?”
”Their energy felt strange, just like the Moonchesters' unique Mana,” he admitted. ”But it wasn't the strangest thing that I noticed.”
”What is it then?”
”The enemy avoided my attacks, but they never fought back,” he said in a confused tone. ”They also said that they were on my side.”
Okay, that surprised her. ”But you still tried to kill them?”
”They said they were on my side,” he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. But she knew that his irritation wasn't directed at her. ”But they didn't say that they were on your side, Tilly. I don't care about people who don't care about you and our son.”
”We can say that.”
”Kiho, you're popular.”
He looked clueless about what she was talking about.
”I know that you're super handsome and super sexy,” she said and that made him blush. ”But I can't help but think that there's something special about you that draws people to side with you even though you aren't doing anything.”
”You think so?”
She nodded. ”Was the enemy a while ago a woman?”
”I'm not sure,” he answered. ”They were covered from head to toe.”
