“So, I got Escalio a gift, but as soon as he received it, he made a sulky face and said he didn’t need something like this?”

Scarlett said in a loud voice.

Belladona, sitting across from her, smiled and quietly watched her.

“I was so angry that I shouted at him to throw it away, threw the gift I bought on the floor, and went straight to sleep. But when I woke up the next day, the gift I had thrown on the floor was nowhere to be found, can you believe it?”

[What was the gift you gave Escalio?]

“A doll!”

Pfft…!

Belladona chuckled softly. A doll as a gift for Escalio?

Scarlett shrugged and blurted out.

“What did I know when I was a kid? I liked dolls, so I thought Escalio would like them too.”

[It must have been a cute gift.]

“Back then, he used to shove it in his pocket, but now I can’t even see where he threw it away….”

Escalio during his mercenary days carrying a small doll in his pocket? It was a sight that was hard to imagine now.

[Really? What happened after that?]

Escalio’s stories from Scarlett’s perspective were always interesting.

The past him, which she didn’t know, had a more tender and softer side than he does now.

Belladona excitedly moved her pen and asked questions.

“And after that…….”

In the middle of their conversation, the protagonist of the story, Escalio, appeared, opening the drawing room door.

Perhaps he had just returned from training, as there was a bit of dirt on his clothes.

“Scarlett, stop bothering my wife.”

“Oh, did you hurt your eyes during training? It seems like you can’t see that your wife is smiling brightly.”

Escalio passed by the sarcastic Scarlett and approached Belladona.

He playfully covered Belladona’s ears.

“I wonder if her ears are bleeding. She’s such a chatterbox.”

“Why is he really like that?”

Scarlett glared at Escalio, flaring up. Belladona smiled once again, finding their relationship endearing.

“Oh, how was Astanya? I would love to go to Astanya if I get the chance!”

At that moment, Scarlett, who had been glaring fiercely at Escalio, turned her head towards Belladona as if she had remembered something.

Astanya? If it’s Astanya, then of course…….

“There are many handsome priests, right?”

As expected, many handsome priests……. No, that’s not it!

Belladona, flustered, fumbled with the hand holding the pen. Suddenly?

“The priests who came to pick up the Madam last time. Honestly, they were my type. Pale, thin, and with a gentle and kind appearance!”

Ah……. Was that Scarlett’s type?

Belladona didn’t even think about moving her pen and just sat there blinking, so Scarlett asked again.

“Honestly, what about you, Madam? Those kinds of men?”

In Scarlett’s eyes, there was a playfulness that resembled her brother.

Men? Men should be…….

Belladona slightly turned her eyes and looked up at Escalio beside her.

Darkly tanned skin, fierce-looking eyes, a bear-like physique, and a threatening aura…….

‘Huh? But…….’

Escalio’s expression, who had been listening to their conversation, was unusual.

He seemed nervous about his wife and sister discussing men in front of him, and he was carefully watching Belladona.

Could it be……?

‘Is he nervous because he doesn’t know how I’ll answer?’

As soon as she realized that, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Belladona forced strength into her lips, which kept trying to turn upwards, and then began to pretend to think seriously.
Hmm, let’s see…….

“As expected……. It’s hard for Madam to make up her mind, right?”

With Scarlett’s help, Escalio bit his lower lip anxiously.

He roughly swept back the hair that had fallen forward and let out a low breath.

“Let’s stop talking about that…….”

“Why? It’s fun!”

“You should go back now. It’s getting late.”

“What? I haven’t been here long!”

But Escalio grabbed Scarlett’s arm and forcibly pulled her up.

“Bella is tired. Being with you makes ordinary people feel like their energy is being drained.”

“No, at least let me hear the answer……!”

“I’ve called a carriage, so you can get on right away. Goodbye.”

“Madam……!”

Scarlett turned her head to look at Belladona, but Escalio’s strength was too strong.

He grabbed her and carried her like luggage under his arm, then took her out of the drawing room.

Uh…….

Belladona waved her hand slightly towards her, who was dangling and being dragged away.

Scarlett, confirming Belladona waving at her, let out a hollow laugh.

She soon opened her mouth and cheerfully blurted out.

“I’ll come again next time! Let’s continue the ideal type conversation then!”

Belladona smiled and nodded at Scarlett.

As she and Escalio disappeared, the air in the drawing room calmed down.

Perhaps Scarlett was unusually talkative, but the sudden tranquility wasn’t entirely unpleasant.

‘It was fun, but also tiring…….’

Belladona slowly leaned back on the chair.

Was her energy really drained as Escalio said? She felt strangely weak.

“…….”

Left alone, Belladona quietly fell into thought.

Whenever she was alone like this, Astanya kept coming to mind.

It wasn’t that she missed Astanya at all.

It was just that Fabion, Timothy, and Tina kept lingering in her mind.

Can I just ignore everything like this and be happy?

In the end, can I just pretend that nothing happened, live as if I was Saintess Belladona from birth, without knowing anything?

The answer to that was not easy to come by.

‘I don’t even know my own heart……. But it’s not like I want to go back there.’

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

At that moment, a low voice was heard from the drawing room door.

Turning her head, she saw Escalio leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

Perhaps because of Scarlett, he had a dissatisfied look on his face.

Belladona smiled slightly and got up from her seat.

As she walked towards Escalio, he looked down at her quietly.

“……?”

“Answer what you were going to say earlier.”

Earlier? What……?

As Belladona blinked with an uncomprehending expression, Escalio groaned and lowered his head.

“No, it’s okay. Let’s go to the room.”

What’s wrong with him……?

Belladona, watching Escalio who seemed uncomfortable, widened her eyes. Could it be?

She quickly followed Escalio, who was walking down the hallway.

As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, Belladona opened her mouth.

“Are you worried about what kind of man I like?”

“Is that even a question…….”

Escalio, who was throwing off his dirty clothes as soon as he entered the room, blurted out.

Seeing that, she felt like teasing him even more. Hmm……. He seems a little cute?

As Belladona remained silent, Escalio stopped taking off his clothes and turned to look at her.

“……Why?”

“The answer?”

“What answer?”

As she continued to pretend not to know, Escalio sighed and shook his head.

After rolling his eyes for a moment, he took a step and approached Belladona.

Belladona looked up at him, who was standing close to her.

“Is my answer important?”

“No, not really.”

“Why?”

“You’ve already married me.”

After saying that, he grabbed Belladona and lifted her up.

Belladona wrapped her legs around his thick waist and naturally wrapped her slender arms around his neck.

Escalio, making deep eye contact with her, opened his mouth.

“Kiss me.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m sulking.”

Belladona smiled and lowered her face to him.

Escalio raised one hand and grabbed the back of her head.

He turned around and walked into the bathroom with Belladona in his arms.

Soon, the couple’s bathroom was filled with heat.

* * *

Belladona slowly opened her eyes.

After blankly blinking her heavy eyelids a few more times, she looked around and saw the bedroom, still filled with darkness.

What is it? Why did I wake up when it’s not even morning……

Belladona closed her eyes again, feeling the thick arm wrapped around her waist and the warm heat sticking to her back.

The bed she was lying on with him was very cozy and comfortable.

“…….”

But what is it?

Belladona, who was trying to fall asleep with her eyes closed, lifted her eyelids again.

She kept feeling strange.

For some reason, she felt goosebumps, and things that were no different from usual suddenly felt unfamiliar.

What is this feeling?

At that moment, Escalio’s arm, which had been loosely wrapped around her, moved very slowly.

It seemed like a cautious gesture to avoid waking his wife, who was in a deep sleep, and it also seemed like a secret act to go somewhere without anyone knowing.

‘What’s going on…….’

Just as she was about to turn her head to look at him, Escalio moved his body very quickly.

At the same time, she heard the sound of something sharp being embedded in the spot where he had been lying.

“……!”

Belladona, startled, curled up without even turning her head.

Soon, she heard the sound of someone moving nimbly from behind and the sound of another person coughing at the same time.

W-What’s that sound……?

Belladona, who had been frozen in shock, forced herself to get up.

The thought that the person being attacked might be Escalio made her whole body tremble with anxiety.

‘T-Then what should I do? Who broke into this bedroom, really……?’

Forcing her body, which wouldn’t move due to fear, to turn around, she saw two men entangled with each other in the dim light coming through the bedroom window.

Fortunately, the one being attacked was an unfamiliar face.

Escalio, who was strangling the intruder’s neck with his thick arms, discovered Belladona, who had woken up.

Soon, his golden eyes shone in the darkness.

“……My wife woke up.”

“Khuk……. Keuk, Khuk.”

“That means I don’t have to keep my voice down so my wife doesn’t wake up.”

After speaking, he completely crushed the man’s neck bones with a sound of force.

The man stretched out his limbs without even letting out a scream.

At the unrealistic sight that unfolded before her eyes, Belladona raised her trembling hand and covered her mouth.

What in the world is happening……?
