Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

“When it gets too cold, northern nobles move to warm southern townhouses and stay there for a few months.”

Cindy is a talkative person…..

By the way, a southern townhouse?

When Belladonna looked back with a look in her eyes that showed her interest, Cindy opened her mouth excitedly.

“Our lord doesn’t get cold very often in the first place, and he’s been so busy that he’s never been to the south….If you make a special request this time, he might go!”

Does Escalion also have a townhouse on the southern side?

Belladonna nodded her head with an interested look on her face.

Although she got cold a lot, she was basically unfamiliar with the cold.

Even after she became a saint, and in her previous life, she had only lived in Astagna, so she wasn’t used to the cold that felt as if it penetrated deep into her bones.

She wasn’t that close to him, but….

Do you think he would listen if I asked him a favor?

She seemed slightly excited by the thought of a southern townhouse.

“Oh my gosh, look at me. I was holding on to my sick Lady and talking too much! I’ll just leave now. If you need anything, please call me anytime, and get some rest, ma’am!”

Bellado I smiled and waved her hand at her.

Okay, go ahead.

Belladonna opened her eyes in the dark.

Did I fall asleep again….

Intoxicated with the energy of the medicine, she blinked her eyes slowly and turned over her body.

Ever since she got sick, all she could do was lie in bed and rest, and she often woke up in the middle of the night like this.

‘Shall I sleep better…?’

As she slowly turned her body and rustled the blanket, she felt someone’s presence behind her.

huh……? who is this?

Belladonna turned her head warily.

“ah.”

Escalion, who was standing in the dark, pulling out the buttons of his thick coat with slow and careful hands, stopped what he was doing and opened his mouth.

“Did you wake up because of me?”

Belladonna shook her head.

No, I just woke up from enough sleep…

He was looking down at her with an uncharacteristically embarrassed expression on his face, and as he quickly walked towards the bathroom, he opened his mouth.

“It was very cold outside.”

When he finished speaking and went into the bathroom, the sound of water splashing into her sink rang out.

Why are you leaving your perfectly fine room to wash in my room……?

Belladonna looked at the closed bathroom door with a puzzled look on her face.

A moment later, Escalion appeared with water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair, as if he had simply washed his hands and face.

Without hesitation, he approached Belladonna on her bed and lowered her head, pressing his forehead against hers.

It’s close……!

Belladonna closed her eyes tightly due to the overwhelming heat and his scent.

‘huh……?’

Although it was moist, I felt his forehead was warm.

So his face was very warm, not as if he was someone who had been outside in the cold just a moment ago.

“Your fever has gone down a lot.”

Escalion said in a casual voice.

no way……Did you wash separately inside because you were afraid your body would be cold touching me?

After he finished speaking, he took her head away, lifted his thick fingers, and gently removed the hair that had fallen over her forehead.

Belladonna looked up at him with some confusion.

She didn’t know why he was so nice to her.

Even though they were a married couple, they didn’t seem to have the same feelings for each other….

“…..You, by any chance.”

At that time, Escalion frowned and quietly opened his mouth.

Me what?

Belladonna quietly waited for his words.

Escalion opened his lips as if he was thinking about something, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip, then closed his mouth and repeated.

It felt like there were words he couldn’t say out loud.

‘What is that……’

Belladonna waited patiently.

After becoming a saint, all she had learned was to wait quietly.

“…That thing called a holy power.”

Holy power……?

Belladonna’s heart sank at the unexpected topic. She didn’t know how to use her holy powers at all right now.

“Every time you use it, it puts a strain on your body, right?”

In response to Escalion’s question, Belladonna was quietly lost in thought.

Is that so? She must have used her holy power herself…If i says yes, it must be right, right?

Belladonna nodded her head cautiously.

But why he ask me that? I was nervous because I didn’t know what questions he would ask.

“So you hasn’t been using it much lately?”

Recently……

Since i was reborn in her saintly body, I have never been commanded to use her holy power.

However, it was not because Pope was concerned about the saint’s body and was considerate, but because her holy power was mainly used to help him become the next pope during his time as a cardinal.

Now that he has established himself as Pope, he no longer needs the saint’s holy power, and recently he even went so far as to advise her not to abuse that power.

<Don’t use your holy power carelessly. We need to make the public aware of how valuable and great this ability is. From now on, it will only be used when absolutely necessary and as much as necessary.>

Not long after waking up in the body of a saint, I remembered the words the Pope had uttered firmly.

But there’s no need to explain all those circumstances….

Belladonna lifted her eyes to meet Escalion’s gaze and nodded her head. Let’s explain it roughly like that!

“Then don’t use it here either.”

“……?”

At his stern voice, Belladonna blinked her eyes.

Escalion looked at her like that and opened his mouth.

“Now you are no longer a saint of Astanya, but my only family member and wife. No matter what people ask of you, treat yourself only as the wife of Lord Griblata and not as a saint.”

“…….”

“It looks like there are quite a few people who expect you to heal the people of Griblata to your heart’s content, but I’m telling you to ignore them all.”

Belladonna quietly looked up at him.

So now…..Are you worried about me?

“If it bothers you too much even though I have properly refused, you can tell me.”

“…….”

“answer.”

Bella donna suddenly nodded her head.

She couldn’t use her holy power anyway, so it was a good thing she did well.

I don’t have to worry about my holy power for the time being….

Just as I was feeling relieved, Escalion briefly stretched his neck to the right and left, then crossed his arms in an X shape and took off the shirt he was wearing.

Eh? What’s happening all of a sudden?

In an instant, he became half-naked, turned his steps and opened his mouth.

“Just wash up and come back.”

Uh, uh……?

Belladonna, left alone, looked at the entrance to the bathroom where he had disappeared with her puzzled face.

Ah, I guess…..

‘……I guess my bathroom is much nicer, hahaha!’

A moment later, her bathroom door opened, and Escalion, radiating warm heat from his entire body, returned to her bed where she was lying.

He lifted the blanket off without hesitation and came into the seat next to her.

As Belladonna looked up with her puzzled face, he looked down at her with her even more puzzled face.

“……?”

“what.”

“…….”

“What’s the problem?”

Look at this shameless thing…..

“I think this room is much colder than mine. you usually have a fever, so I thought sleeping with me would help you recover your health.”

Woo, it’s narrow….

Bella also quietly moved out of her place with a disapproving look on her face.

It was an ordinary sized bed, but when a huge man came in, it immediately felt cramped and stuffy.

If I moved further out of the way, it felt like if I tossed and turned even a little while sleeping, I would fall to the other side at any moment.

Besides, this guy…..

‘His upper body is completely naked.’

She couldn’t quite figure out where to place her eyes.

His angry muscles, dark in color, lumpy, and full of small scars, were unfamiliar, but he kept stealing my gaze.

“Don’t just glance at me with those sinister eyes, but look at it to your heart’s content.”

Escalion said playfully.

what? When did I?

Belladonna twitched her feet for no reason and glared at him.

Escalion shrugged his shoulders and raised an eyebrow.

“Anyway, I have no one to show it to except my wife.”

Huh, indeed! It’s starting again, it’s starting again!

His absurdity made me want to snort.

Has you already shown off the beautiful ruby necklace to the owner?

“Do you want to fall to the floor in your sleep? come a little closer.”

Escalion stretched out his arms and caught her, bringing her to himself.

She wanted to hold on, but she didn’t have the strength to hold on.

Belladonna was dragged along helplessly, and she was once again trapped in his arms.

‘Same posture as last time…….’

Being in the warm arms, it was definitely warmer than when I was lying alone.

However, I didn’t feel completely at ease.

I kept thinking of his mistress whose face I didn’t know, and more than anything, the more faithful I was to my marriage, which would end in three months, the more I felt like I was doing something I shouldn’t have done to him.

‘We shouldn’t keep getting closer like this……’

After thinking for a moment, Belladonna soon made up her mind and squirmed, and she escaped from his arms.

“Why?”

Escalion asked with a sunken look in his eyes.

Belladonna took his large hand and unfolded the finger pen again.

‘It’s.Okay.you.can.go.to.your.room.’

Before she had even finished a single sentence, Escalion snatched her hand from his grasp. And he looked down at her with his stubborn face.

“Go back to my room?”

Nod.

“Was my wife always this mean?”

Hey, is that mean……?

No, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all go back to our own beds and sleep comfortably?

Escalion narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

“Am I uncomfortable?”

of course! How can you be comfortable when you’re lying right next to me naked?

But Belladonna didn’t nodded her head right away.

She shook her head and smiled, not because she felt uncomfortable sending Escalion back to his room, but simply to make it seem like she was doing him a favor.

“But why?”

Escalion still had a lumpy face.

Oh, I really don’t understand what you’re saying…..

Belladonna tried her best to explain, but Escalion shook her head as if he didn’t want to understand and shifted her massive body to find a comfortable position.

He raised one arm and brought her back into his arms.

“Couples are supposed to sleep together in the same bed.”

“……”

“At least that’s what my parents did their whole lives until they passed away, and since that’s all I’ve seen and learned, I’ll have to do the same.”

Belladonna blinked quietly, burying her face in his chest.

“Ah, our noble saint, don’t you understand that method?”

Escalion spat sarcastically.

“It’s a pity, but your husband comes from the lowest class of commoners, so I don’t know about such things.”

I didn’t say anything……

Belladonna leaned against him and quietly thought.

But actually, I come from an ordinary farmer…..

“Now that your fever has completely subsided, let’s sleep together in my room starting tomorrow.”

Belladonna, who had been slowly letting his voice drift to her other ear, stood up in surprise. Then she turned her head and looked up at him.

hawk…Sleep together every day?
