I rubbed my eyes with a blank face.

Thinking about it, it was probably a good thing that the beast couldnt see me in real life.

Thanks to that, he had no idea how much Aedis loved me.

love?

Eve, are you awake?

.

I heard a voice that made me feel better. I lifted my eyelids, possessed. Aedis was standing by the door and laughed.

You should eat something.

As I raised my upper body, a soft blanket slipped down. IT seemed Aedis had carried me into bed.

I stretched out my arms to Aedis. I didnt say anything, but Aedis reflexively came over and hugged me.

I dont want to walk at this rate.

Ill always be by your side, so this wont be a problem.

Aedis took me to the table.

Mmm, it smelled delicious.

A rare delicacy, hard to find in the North, was set on the walnut wood table. It was amazing to see even a soft dessert that looked like it had just been baked.

Did you go out?

The wife is alone. It was made using only the ingredients available here.

You made it?

All of this? At first glance, there werent many cooking utensils.

Aedis, do you have five of your hands hidden and only use them to cook?

There is something like that? I will consider it next time.

No, dont consider it.

Aedis chuckled as he sat me down, then he sat across from me, stretching his legs. I glanced at Aedis as I ate my soup.

Delicious. And I felt remorse.

The beast that appeared in Regens form in my dream kept coming back to me. The beast couldnt even return to nature, and tried to pass on his power to me, regretting even his own death. And he said that the reason he was doing this was because of Aedis.

Eve? Is there anything you want to say to me?

Its, its delicious.

I dont think so.

The backlight cast shadows around Aedis eyes. He was as beautiful as a god ascended from the cold blue underworld.

However, there was no sense of intimidation beyond his usual standards.

Could it be because of the eyes dripping with honey? He was so full of affection that even asking if he loved me felt pointless.

Once he knows why, Aedis will never be able to laugh it off. Still, it was something I couldnt hide.

That night, I closed my eyes with the thought of reuniting with the beast and somehow making a decision.

I promised myself that I wouldnt be surprised if he appeared in Gilberts form, but when I opened my eyes it was morning. I didnt even dream.

.

What the heck?

It was good to get a solid nights sleep, but.. how could he be so selfish? Yesterday, he showed up even though I only slept for a short time.

I tossed and turned to look at Aedis. There was a fatal face in front of my nose that I would not get tired of even if I kept my eyes on it all day.

Long, downcast eyelashes glistened in the clear sunlight. The decadent beauty that was usually scattered around was nowhere to be found, and there was only a peaceful atmosphere.

For a moment, forgetting my worries about the beast, I held my breath and observed my husband as he slept. Even though I had just woken up and had a hazy mind, my heart tightened.

Cu, cute.

Aedis had recently begun to show a little bit of his defenseless sleep. It was fatal to my heart that I could understand why he hadnt shown it in the meantime.

Wherever I look, how can he say that my husband is a bad boy.

Now that I didnt have to look at anyone, I puffed up my cheeks to my hearts content.

The beast said Aedis was blinded by possessiveness toward me.

But is Aedis the only one possessive? I also considered Aedis to be my husband.

I resisted the urge to touch Aedis face and closed my eyes. After spending a little more time in the bed, Aedis woke up, too.

Aedis, can I kiss you in the morning?

Instead of saying no, Aedis gently took me in his arms and set me down on top of him.

I was mounted on Aedis.

Huh, are you trying to seduce me?

I am seducing you.

what?

Aedis smiled with a languid face.

It feels so good to see the wifes face first thing.

.

Dont cover your face.

.

How can I not cover it!

I could imagine how red my cheeks must have turned. Suddenly, this bizarre position became very uncomfortable.

Obviously I was the one attacking, but I was vulnerable to Aedis sweet words.

Aedis whispered to me in a hoarse voice that could only be heard in the early morning.

Today might be our last chance, is that okay?

No. Its not okay

Now was the time to be an opportunist.

I brushed off my shame.

Ill just take three deep breaths.

Aedis couldnt hold back his laughter, as if my expression was strange.

Eve, youre going to break a hole in my face.

It wont break through! No running away!

Then Aedis furrowed his eyebrows. Something poked out from Aedis shadow, and I quickly realized it wasnt me.

Caw! Caw!

The little crow stuck out its head and crowed. I tilted my head to one side.

Raven?

Caaaww.

Then the crow covered his eyes with his wings as if he had seen something he shouldnt see. Did he return after having fun in the garden? As the subtly dirty Raven walked out, a birds dirty footsteps were stamped on the floor.

Caw? Caw?

The appearance of the little crow walking on the floor with wings covering its eyes was certainly rare.

You can look. And you can change into a human and talk.

Both Aedis and I were dressed just fine with only a slightly odd posture.

While Raven changed into a boy, I brushed off my regret and slid off Aedis body.

Ex, excu, excuse me .

What happened all of a sudden? Is there a problem with the castle?

Mis Mister, Ele Eleonora.

Whats wrong with the disciple?

Stomach, not, good.

.

Raven tried hard to explain with his tongue that wouldnt move as he wanted, but I was flustered and didnt know how to react.

No matter how much Eleonora claimed to be my disciple, in the end he was an outsider and a beast. Should Raven come all the way here and report directly that he was feeling unwell? It was such a critical situation ?

I turned to Aedis at a loss for words. He, too, looked surprised.

Umm, are there any herbs that calm the stomach?

That is, not, it.

Raven shook his head.

Not, well! More than that! Serious!

.

Spider thread keeps coming out!

I could see that Eleonora had a problem with the webs coming out all the time. But beyond that, I couldnt even guess. Aedis face said he wasnt even going to die, so why the fuss? as he asked,

How long will he be like that?

Raven grumbled, wanting me to return to the castle quickly.

Dont you worry?

I wouldnt be worried about a spider making a web.

Aedis murmured sullenly. I heartily agreed. Eleonora used the web that Raven saw to heal me. It didnt feel like a serious matter requiring a rush to the castle.

After all, there were Shaula and Paimon in the castle, right?

Neither was very trustworthy, but enough to entrust the castle to.

Chi.

Raven glared at Aedis. It was far away from the gaze of a loyal familiar toward its master. Sure enough, Raven rebelled

WhenEvecutherfingeronpaperyouweresadasiftheworldwasgone! [TL: Yes, the raw merged the whole sentence without any space! hahaha]

Raven gurgled words from his mouth, then crouched down and groaned.

Oops, I guess he bit his tongue.

Aedis sighed and laughed.

You have to compare people, Raven.

Then! With! With who! To compare!

Raven whimpered and lifted his head. It seemed that he was trying various methods because he wanted to speak as accurately and quickly as possible. However, Aedis, who was kind to his wife but was good at overworking his familiar, had no intention of acknowledging Ravens hard work.

You shouldnt be comparing yourself. It is impossible with anyone.

Thanks to this, the boy went beyond sniffing and was on the verge of wailing loudly.

Aedis, dont tease the kid.

Only then did Raven realize that Aedis was making fun of him, and his face burned.

Tea teasing me?!

Ive lived longer than the wife. She used to be quite a celebrity.

Oh. I was intrigued. Raven probably felt a sense of crisis.

I hate Master! I like Eve!

Raven clung to me with tears hanging from his eyelashes.

I reassured Raven.

Dont worry, Raven. I was listening seriously.

Re, really ?

Then.

Aedis, can beasts take the digestive medicine that humans use?

Wife, stop teasing him, too.

Hearing Aedis laughter, Raven cried louder than before and was frustrated.

Uwaaahh, hate Eve too.

I asked Aedis to check it while comforting Raven, who was grieving with his whole body.

Hasnt Toliman contacted you?

Aedis gave me a brief nod.

I guessed it was not a big deal as well.
