Sniffing, Yernia wrinkled her nose.

She was too emotional earlier, but after calming down a little, she felt like she could die from chagrin.

A new painting was hung on the wall, and she was glad she had saved several points.

“You told me not to get hurt, right?”

“Yes.”

“Why? Are you upset that I got hurt?”

She should ignore him.

Cassian had been asking her about it multiple times as he followed her everywhere.

Yernia pulled out the withered flowers and put new ones in the vase.

As she cut the stems and arranged the flowers in silence, Cassian drew her attention by waving some flowers in front of her face.

How childish~

“Are you upset?”

What’s wrong with him?

She regretted crying.

She shouldn’t have cried in front of him.

Although he teased her less often than before she married and became more affectionate as a husband, Cassian was still the same.

He was making fun of her to his heart’s content.

She guessed people didn’t change at once.

Yernia turned away from his smiling face.

“I’m also upset when you got hurt.”

“…….”

He suddenly approached, tucking a rose behind her ear.  “I’ll try my best not to get hurt. So don’t get hurt either.”

Yernia looked at him as he did it.

When their eyes met, his eyes sparkled as he laughed.

“You’re so beautiful.”

***

Except for the painting incident, the rest of the preparations went smoothly, and the party ended without a problem.

She had a good time.

As she greeted the hectic influx of guests, time passed quickly, and she didn’t notice it was already late at night.

After the party, she almost fainted to sleep due to exhaustion.

Cassian seemed tired as well so she guided him by holding his hands.

“Meow.”

Yernia, who had recovered to some extent, was reading at the garden.

Kathy came up against Yernia’s leg, asking for a simple snack.

Duke Vicil Lecardo had raised the cat himself.

Yernia liked cats.

One of the reasons why she often visited the Duke’s Mansion was because of Kathy.

“Do you want to eat it, too? No.”

Yernia ate all the cakes and the cookies.

There was nothing left for Kathy to eat.

However, Kathy bumped her head into Yernia’s hand as if telling her she wasn’t asking for it.

“Oh. You want to be petted?”

Yernia understood Kathy’s request now.

When she scratched her forehead gently, the cat purred.

Yernia witnessed a servant handing a letter to the butler.

After the butler confirmed the sender’s identity, his face turned grim.

Soon, he ran into the mansion.

What could it be?

A little later, Yernia realized why.

***

“The Grand Duke is asking for your support, milord.” The butler said.

Cassian’s mood darkened.

“It’s been a long time since my father retired.”

Duke Vicil said he was seriously injured.

A powerful man who once defeated and killed his enemies became weak due to his age.

Now, they’re asking for Cassian’s support to succeed in battle.

No matter how capable he was, Cassian won’t be able to handle it all by himself.

He was sure they were contacting the rest of the Espers all over the Empire.

The battlefield is dangerous, and Cassian just got married to his wife.

The Esper and the guide had to go to the battlefield together.

He wouldn’t be able to spend their honeymoon as peacefully as they do now.

What a shame!

“What’s going on?”

“It’s nothing. I got a backup request from the King’s Militia.”

Just in time, Yernia peeped into the office.

She glanced at the serious-looking butler while holding Kathy in her arms.

Cassian gave the butler a meaningful look.

The butler, who had been quick to notice, smiled and withdrew.

Cassian spoke lightly so that Yernia wouldn’t get concerned, but it felt like they were talking about a severe matter earlier.

Duke Vicil, a powerful Esper, was injured, and Cassian didn’t want to take Yernia to such a dangerous place.

If he looked rather grim, it might scare Yernia even more.

“I think you and I should go to Lens.”

Yernia’s eyes widened at the unexpected news.

“Why all of a sudden? Did something happen?”

“My father got hurt.”

“What?”

Yernia’s eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

Cassian smiled briefly, appreciating her concern.

The situation was, indeed, serious but Yernia didn’t have to act like this.

He didn’t want to make her worry over nothing.

“How did he get hurt?”

“It’s all right. Injuries are common on the battlefield. He’s lucky enough not to die.”

A myriad of expressions crossed Yernia’s face in a few seconds when she heard Vicil was injured.

Her pretty little head shouldn’t be filled with fear of the war against the devil.

Cassian teased her about lightening up the mood.

“I’ll protect you, so don’t worry.”

Yernia glared at him.

“We don’t have to rush this.”

Fortunately, Cassian’s efforts worked.
