Chapter 97
Tessa felt her hands and feet trembling in that instant, looking at the chaotic castle in front of her. She was even more frightened because she had already been through this once before. At that time, she really thought she was going to die. So right now Tessa was very anxious that the situation might come again.
Her head suddenly started spinning. Because of this, Tessa lost her balance and stumbled. Mani shrieked and hurriedly helped Tessa. Kennis also hurriedly ushered Tessa onto the bed.
Tessa was led into bed by the two, unable to calm her trembling body.
What should she do.
What should she do now…
Tessa thought that this misfortune might be continuing because she was by Hert’s side. Didn’t he say she was a misfortune in her dream? She should have just disappeared alone, and not to make other people unhappy.
That was right. She should have gone away on her own. She should have dealt with everything alone, swallowing all the misfortunes.
At this rate, she might make Hert unhappy again.
‘It’s also because of me…’
“Madam.”
At that moment, there was a warm voice calling Tessa. Mani looked at Tessa, holding her hand tightly. This gave Tessa a break from the dark thoughts and to focus on Mani.
“Madam, we will all be fine. So don’t think about anything, and just focus on getting a good rest. His Excellency wants that too.”
“But…”
“Yes, Madam. Don’t worry too much. Who is guarding this place? It’s His Excellency. If you believe in His Excellency, all you need to focus on now is your recovery.”
Tessa nodded slowly as Kennis came to her side. If she believed in Hert, she just had to recover first and foremost.
Kennis asked cautiously as Tessa’s breathing calmed down a bit.
“How is it, are you feeling better now?”
“Yes… I think I’m okay.”
“Then let’s just stay calm like this.”
“Yes…”
That’s right, as Mani and Kennis said, this could pass without incident. Because of Hert. He will protect this place.
Tessa closed her eyes tightly. Then she tried hard to get rid of any disturbing thoughts or bad feelings.
It’s fine.
It will be fine.
Tessa repeated those words to herself over and over again.
Tessa woke up to the feeling of someone touching her hair. Then the face she most wanted to see came into her vision at once. Hert? As his name came out of Tessa’s little mouth, Hert smiled at her.
“Did I wake you up? I wasn’t trying to.”
“No, just… I wanted to wake up. But…”
Tessa suddenly noticed Hert’s appearance, and lost her words. That look… Hert was now wearing his full armor. Just like a knight going to the battlefield… Just like that day…
In a corner of her heart, anxiety rose again. She had said hundreds of times that it would be fine, but she was afraid that a war might harm Hert.
“Her, where… are you going?”
“Ah, I’m going to go out to the outer wall for a while. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry too much.”
“Still…”
“Tessa, nothing will happen. It’s fine, don’t worry.”
Tessa shook her head despite Hert’s words. How could she not be worried? Anyone could see that he was about to go to war.
When Tessa’s expression didn’t seem to ease easily, Hert took off the gauntlet and cupped her cheek very carefully with his hand.
“I told you not to worry. Do I look like someone who can’t protect you? Just rest and take care of yourself. Don’t get sick.”
His blue eyes shone with affection. The touch on her cheek was also warm, so warm for Tessa to notice that the tip of her nose twitched for no reason. Sometimes, Tessa couldn’t understand any of Hert’s actions, but she could see that he was as sincere as the emotions he had shown her.
“When I come back, I want you to greet me in good health.”
So Tessa couldn’t help but nod her head at Hert’s simple request. She knew that she was only holding onto his ankles, but when they faced each other like this, she couldn’t stop her desire to stay by Hert’s side.
May this happy moment continue. May she never part with him.
“Once this is over…”
Hert lightly pressed his forehead against Tessa’s. Then he took a deep breath before he could continue his words.
“I will formally propose to you.”
“…….”
“We will officially become husband and wife.”
Like the promise we made before, you will be my wife and I will be your husband.
Tessa didn’t respond to Hert’s words. She still didn’t know what to say to Hert when he said he wanted to marry her.
Should she say yes, thank you? Should she let herself be greedy? Or should she say she’s sorry? Sorry for grabbing his ankle when his future is clear. If not, should she ask him to stop? Don’t not do this. It’s not a good choice for him, she’s satisfied here.
Tessa didn’t say anything.
Many words swirled within her.
“Her…”
“Don’t say no. Don’t even say you don’t want it. It has already been decided.”
Hert was just shooting back at Tessa, who never said yes, but he must have known. He knew that she didn’t have any other option. That she has no choice but to follow what he had wanted. Taking comfort in that, Hert lifted his forehead and raised his head.
“Even though the position of your first husband has passed, now your husband is only me and I will be the last, so I will be satisfied with this.”
“……”
“So you will be satisfied here too. Got it?”
Hert asked Tessa sternly, as if urging her to answer. But Tessa’s mouth couldn’t open easily. Hert said, barely suppressing the anger that was boiling again.
“You really are strange. Others are anxious to have me as their husband, but you just keep saying no.”
“No… It’s not that I don’t want to.”
“Then say yes. Say you will, with your own mouth. Unless all you wanted after all was to devour me and throw me away.”
“Devour and throw, no…”
“Yes, so just use me, but don’t run away.”
Alright, let’s stop. Hert got up. If he kept on staying here, he felt like he was going to say something to the sick Tessa. Why don’t you accept me. He didn’t want to do that. In the first place, he had come with the intention of just seeing Tessa’s sleeping face for a llittle while.
Hert picked up the gauntlet that had been placed on the table.
“And if you have any urgent matters, contact me anytime through someone. I’ll come back to you right away. Don’t try to deal with it by yourself.”
Seeing Hert’s fierce gaze, Tessa hurriedly nodded her head like a scolded student.
“You only nod your head well. With no answer.”
Tessa’s face hardened at Hert’s grumpy remark. Seeing this, Hert was saddened as he realized he had made a mistake. This mouth is certainly a problem. Or it could have been because of his nasty temper.
Seriously, because of these things about him, he could understand if Tessa refused to marry him.
Hert quickly added an excuse as if to patch things up.
“…I’m just saying it. Don’t take it to heart.”
“…….”
“Really. It’s something I just spat out without thinking.”
“…Yes.”
Hert sighed inside as Tessa answered without a nod this time. Damn, there are things he should say and things he shouldn’t do. He’s not an idiot. He blamed himself and got down on one knee in front of Tessa.
“Tessa, look at me.”
Tessa lifted her head slowly and looked at him. The olive-colored eyes were watching him. Seeing those eyes, Hert bit his tongue. It was because he could feel the heat rushing to his lower body.
Damn it, you’re not in heat…
Hert hastily pulled Tessa toward him and kissed her hastily.
“Ah…”
