Now, the woman in front of him was no longer Eveliana.
She was just a good person who did her duty well.
The liking rating, which was at its lowest negative level, quickly rose to reach the average.
Perhaps for this reason, her face, which had aroused his killing intent just by seeing it, began to look a little different to him.
Her white hair, which he found disgusting, like the hair of a “monster witch,” and her red eyes, which used to make him shiver like the eyes of demons, at one moment began to shine like jewels and appear beautifully.
That's also why his eyes were strangely drawn to where Kay worked.
When he saw her approaching a patient who was afflicted with a curse and oozing from horrific sores, and treating him without furrowing her eyebrows, or working all night, he felt a human admiration for her.
She was a praiseworthy girl; She has amazing skills, yet she works for little pay as if she were a volunteer.
Because he wanted her to continue as a diligent healer, and in appreciation for treating his arm, he offered her a small reward.
Seeing her leaving the tent and screaming with joy after receiving the money, shedding tears and saying that she lived in poverty, made him feel that she was as nice as other girls her age.
But that was only for a moment.
Despite the disappearance of Eveliana and the disappearance of his goal of returning in time with her, the tasks he had to perform were the size of a mountain.
Between the succession to the future dukedom and the relations with the imperial family and the Magic Tower, Kai was just a small, passing fragment in his crowded mind.
However, he did not refuse Kay's request when she came staggering to his tent to offer her savior precious wine.
He felt lonely drinking alone, and the wine Kay offered was of the expensive type that was difficult for ordinary people to drink, and since he would never see her after returning to the capital, he drank with her as a final farewell.
When he drank the strong wine she offered, and the alcohol began to take effect in his body, he saw her glowing white hair and her ruby-red eyes as she smiled at him, and he felt his heart sinking strongly for a moment.
By objective standards, she is a remarkably beautiful woman.
He thought this feeling was normal, and he tried to calm his racing heart by taking a deep breath.
Her red lips, drawn into a bow, looked very attractive, but he just thought.
He lived a chaste life until now, and did not give it much meaning.
Yes, I caught his eye for just a moment.
He thought about that as he emptied his cup in front of her beauty.
Lloyd was suddenly awakened by a sudden movement, and instinctively grabbed the person on the bed.
Because many people targeted his life on the battlefields, he would wake up to the slightest movement.
He caught the intruder on the bed and tied him up automatically.
But when he realized that the woman he was holding was Kay, wearing a thin nightgown, and that his body was also naked, Lloyd realized that his thinking was completely wrong.
He quickly covered the lower part of his body with the quilt, and tried to operate his mind, which was hurting due to intoxication.
What happened yesterday?
He remembered that the woman in front of him was very beautiful.
He remembered that her red lips looked attractive.
But there is no memory of anything beyond that.
I was completely wiped out.
He didn't think that he, as the person who drank to the point of amnesia, would leave this beautiful woman alone.
Since his last thought was, “Her red lips look attractive,” there’s no way he just slept peacefully, right?
In an instant, he felt heat flowing through his body.
He must have made a big mistake while drunk.
In fact, Lloyd took off his clothes as usual while he was drunk and fell asleep, and Kay, who vomited on her clothes due to excessive drinking, took off her clothes due to the alcohol and slept on top of Lloyd's body due to her habit of hugging Bree while sleeping.
But the inexperienced man's imagination preceded reality and ran wild.
“Mr. Lloyd, we just fell asleep!”
When he regained consciousness and looked at her after her screams, his suspicions were confirmed.
We did it.
Yes we did it.
His gaze automatically went to her body, which was slightly visible through the transparent nightgown.
As soon as he saw her, his body quickly heated up.
Lloyd, who had completely ignored Kai's honest words that they were just sleeping, felt extremely frustrated.
He turned his back to her to cool his burning body.
“I understand, so... get dressed.”
He began to meditate with a humble heart while turning his back.
Eveliana rosebiller. The object of my hatred that took my life.
Remember, Lloyd... the moment when your heart was torn out, and the region and family were burned.
Ordinarily imagine the face of Eveliana Rosebelaire, which has been the fuel for his growth so far.
But the problem was that that face was the same as Kai's.
When the witch's evil face turned to Kay's confused face as she lay on the bed after he caught her, his body, which had cooled slightly, began to burn strongly again.
“Kh.”
It was making him crazy.
“Sorry… Young Master. I’m really sorry.”
"What is there?"
He turned around in a confused position, lowering his head and answering.
“My clothes are getting really dirty... Can I borrow some clothes? Anything that can cover my body will be good.”
Lloyd silently pointed to the wardrobe in the corner of the tent.
He returned to immerse himself in the world of contemplation and sacred thinking.
This time, it was the teachings of the Tirena Doctrine that he had learned since his childhood.
Fortunately, the teachings of the Tirena Doctrine seemed to be effective, and his body gradually began to cool down.
“Mr...Lloyd, I'm dressed.”
Yes, I have calmed down too.
“I'll get dressed for a moment.”
He quickly put on his clothes that were lying on the bed, and turned to talk about this situation with a humble heart.
But, contrary to what he wanted, his face automatically reddened when his eyes met the eyes of Kay, who was wearing his large white shirt.
Is this the second time? Which he feels is nice.
At that moment.
“Mr. Lloyd, I brought breakfast. May I come in?”
The voice of the faithful servant waking him up precisely at the appointed time came from outside.
He looked at Kai's face and found it trembling with confusion.
“No, I’m not very hungry Hans. I want to be alone quietly. Don’t let anyone in.”
“Yes, Mr. Lloyd.”
When the servant's footsteps were heard walking away, Kai breathed in relief.
He said to Kay with a trembling hand:
“I will bear...full responsibility.”
"Yes?"
Although the possibility of getting pregnant from a single relationship was small, Lloyd, who had no sexual experience, did not care.
In his mind, Kai was already pregnant with his child.
He couldn't send her alone to Zeronia in this state.
How can an unmarried woman bear the bad looks alone if her belly suddenly grows?
Besides, how will she raise a child alone while working as a diligent therapist without a husband?
Based on Lloyd's principles, even if it was wrong, he should take responsibility for what he did.
Lloyd took the hand of the woman who would become the mother of his child and said:
“Starting today, we will go to the capital together.
“I will take responsibility for everything.”
"No, no, Mr. Lloyd! Nothing of the sort happened between us. We just slept!"
“Really?”
At the moment when Kay was shaking her head forcefully in response to Lloyd's desperate voice, Lloyd's eyes fell on the familiar ring on Kay's finger.
"What is this?"
A thick gold ring engraved with exaggerated patterns.
It was the magic ring he had retrieved from the “Acenta Dungeon.”
He shook his head again and quickly grabbed Kai's wrist.
As soon as he saw her beautiful, wavy hair and her delicate white wrist, a thought of last night, which he could not remember, quickly passed through his mind.
°Ha-ha-ha, Mr. Lloyd, it was just an accidental kiss. Well, come to think of it, it's my first kiss! But that's okay. Ha ha ha ha.°
His lips collided with hers as he tried to catch the stumbling Kay.
She was waving her hand while she was very drunk, saying that mistakes happen because of drinking.
When her white hair fell like waves under the moonlight, she was so beautiful that his mind went blank.
When he saw her delicate wrist, his body burned and his head felt dizzy, and from that moment on he no longer heard Kai's words.
Just one word.
The word “first kiss” was implanted in his mind.
To take a woman's first kiss by mistake.
'It was...the first kiss. So, I will take responsibility.'
Lloyd took the ring out of the magic space. He knelt down and placed the ring on her delicate hand.
°What? What else is this ring? Mr. Lloyd, you have already given me so much, you don't need to give me more...?°
It seemed that Kay, who was answering as if she was singing, was under the influence of heavy alcohol, so she suddenly fell to the ground.
Lloyd quickly hugged her to prevent her from falling, and felt the feeling of the woman's warm body all over his body.
And what happened after that...
Damn!
Lloyd tried to bear the pain in his head and responded to Kai's words with a stern expression:
“Kai, I know very well what kind of sleep it was. Don’t worry, I can handle the responsibility.”
“What kind of sleep do you mean! Mr. Lloyd, you are saying dangerous things. It was just sleeping by lying down and covering the body with a quilt, that’s all!”
"Do you want to believe it that much...? I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
"It's not that I want to believe it, we just really slept! Oh, I'm really going crazy. I'm going back to my dorm now. Mika must be looking for me. Oh, I'll wash this shirt and put it back!"
She beat her chest angrily, then turned to leave the tent.
Lloyd suddenly remembered the words of one of the knights a few months ago when he said that his wife was pregnant, and that the beginning of pregnancy was dangerous and one must always be careful.
Lloyd quickly grabbed Kai because of that memory.
“This is dangerous!”
But because of Lloyd's exaggerated strength due to anxiety, Kai fell directly onto her back.
And at the moment that Lloyd's body fell on top of Kai due to the reaction...
“Miss Kay? Are you here by chance?”
Eyes met with Mika, who was poking her head slightly into the tent.
