Chapter 54

“Don’t say nonsense, put this one on. And bring my pajamas.”

“No way, are you going to sleep in that old gray pajama? It’s your first night!”

“…..It’s comfortable. It’s warm.”

Artizea hesitated for a moment.

The pajamas she had been wearing were years old.

As she grew tall, the sleeves and pants got shorter, so she sewed fabric to it. Besides, she wore it for so long that it got fluffy.

Still, it was 100 times better than this pink pajamas.

“Don’t say nonsense! And I don’t even want to give it to you.”

“Why?”

“Who brings such pajamas on their honeymoon? What would the people of the Evron Grand Duchy think when they see the new mistress wearing such pajamas?”

“Sophie.”

“I can’t even put it out in the laundry room. At first, even in the marquisate, do you know how hard it was because everyone felt sorry for the kind of clothes my lady wears?”

She felt a sudden pain in her bone.

Okay. Let’s say so. She knew it was necessary to make new indoor clothes and pajamas.

So, she has left Emily and Sophie to get everything they needed.

But she never thought they would bring something like this.

“Bring something else. Couldn’t you have an indoor dress or a gown?”

“I have already loaded all the clothes chests on the ship. I left only clothes for tomorrow morning and this.”

It was a dilemma.

“Don’t worry. Me and Madam Emily worked so hard to make you look the best and pretty.”

Sophie smiled wide.

“Obviously, the master will also fall in love with you.”

Artizea felt dizzy.

Desperately, she regretted that she had left Sophie to do it. Even if she had to spare her busy time, she should have checked.

She should have seen Sophie pack up.

“Come on.”

Sophie shook her arm and the pajamas.

***

Eventually Artizea lost.

It was because she didn’t want to make a fuss of unloading her clothes from the ship near midnight or bringing other clothes from the capital’s mansion.

Soft pajamas wrapped around her legs, making Artizea feel strange.

Even more to wear this pajama and enter the honeymoon room.

The room was neatly decorated so that it was neither excessive nor insufficient.

It was well ventilated and a scented candle was burning, giving it a soft scent. There was a soft, yellow curtain on the window.

And there was an oversized bed. Of course.

Artizea had never thought seriously about her honeymoon room until this moment.

No matter what you say out there, with or without a ceremony, this marriage is not a real marriage.

She also trusted Cedric. He is a man who knows what kindness is.

Therefore, she didn’t even worry about the problem of going to the honeymoon room.

Even Artizea stepped forward and said she would use the same cabin on the ship with Grand Duke Evron.

Shouldn’t it be that way? In other words, if a newlywed couple who is married in a love-marriage uses a different room on their honeymoon, what would the people outside think of them?

In other words, she only considered external issues.

It wasn’t until after entering the room that Sophie, who smiled, and Alice who cheered for her pajamas, saying that it was too pretty, did Artizea realize an internal problem.

‘Wear this on, lie down there and sleep together?’

As she decided to do that, it sounded crazy. She couldn’t sleep.

Artizea knew why Cedric had such a strange face when she told him to share the cabin.

“Hoo.”

Artizea looked around in her room.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t think of a way out.

She had no idea what rumor would spread if the bride left her room on the first night and slept elsewhere.

Everyone in this mansion would have had their mouths full.

Instead, it will bring unwanted worries and concern to the people. It was obvious to see that it would become more problematic.

It is also a futile idea. It was unlikely that Cedric would care about how she was dressed.

‘If you wear rags, he may be sorry.’

Still, Artizea pulled the blanket out of the bed. Then she curled up on the sofa and covered herself with the blanket.

She was very tired, so Artizea quickly started to doze off.

Even in her dreams, she was nervous. As a result, Artizea was surprised by the sound of the door opening and she jumped up.

As Cedric came in, he said cautiously.

“I’m sorry for being late. Isn’t it past midnight right now? I couldn’t get out…..”

Cedric looked at Artizea instead of apologizing.

And he stopped without repeating all his words. Cedric’s nape and ears turned red.

Artizea didn’t know why he looked that way at first. Then she realized that she had dropped the blanket, and she quickly picked it up.

She made up her mind that it was just a little thin, and it was nothing. There is no exposure, nothing to be ashamed of.

But that decision was of no use. She felt embarrassed to death.

“Well, well, because Sophie doesn’t know anything. It looks like she made something called a bride’s pajamas. Is it weird? I tried to find other clothes, but they said the clothes were on the ship, and I couldn’t get them out during the night……”

Artizea fired up excuses like rapid fire.

Cedric shook his hand not to do so. Then he stroked his face once with his palm.

“It’s not strange. I think it’s cute.”

This time, Artizea turned red. On the other hand, her mind went blank.

Cedric hesitated, then he approached Artizea.

“This, this is Madame Emily’s…”

Her mouth was going to make more excuses, but Cedric’s outstretched hand slightly touched Artizea’s scattered hair.

Artizea was surprised and hugged the blanket like a shield and sat down on the sofa.

“The bed is for Lord Cedric. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

“Tia.”

There was a moment of silence. Cedric breathed a little.

He went to bed and sat down. Then he swept his face down once with his palm.

“I’m sorry to have surprised you.”

“Oh, no.”

Artizea replied with a slight trembling voice. She couldn’t figure out what was going to happen a while ago.

“If you are uncomfortable using the same bed, I will sleep on the sofa.”

“No. I can’t give up the blanket. I’ll give up the bed instead.”

“Use both the blanket and the bed. It’s not cold, so I don’t need a blanket.”

“I can’t do that. How can I put the master on the sofa and sleep comfortably in bed?”

“But…..”

“I’m a lot smaller. Lord Cedric, I don’t think you can fold your legs in half to fit in the sofa.

“Tia.”

Cedric called her. Artizea spoke first before he could speak again.

“Can you turn off the light?”

“… Sure. If you’re comfortable with it, I’ll do it.”

Artizea was relieved inside.

Soon the bedroom got dark. Cedric’s shadow lay on the bed.

Artizea was finally relieved from the fire up her neck and closed her eyes.

But she did not think she’ll fall asleep. Until a while ago, she was so tired that she fell asleep in no time.

Artizea realized that she was counting both her exhalation and inhalation.

And Cedric also noticed that he sighed occasionally and made irregular breathing sounds.

She had to do a post evaluation of today’s wedding. Originally, before going to bed, she was going to check the results with Cedric and refine their future plans.

But she couldn’t. All she can see is a shadow, but why is she so nervous?

After a while, Cedric jumped up and sat down.

“I can’t.”

“Yes?”

“We have to use the same room for a while anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to get used to it? We can’t sleep like this in the cabin.”

Before Artizea replied, he came over.

He then stretched out his arms and held Artizea over the blanket.

“Ah! “

Artizea struggled in surprise.

Cedric effortlessly took her to the bed and laid her down.

“I didn’t see it.”

Artizea couldn’t understand for a moment what that meant.

She belatedly found out that it meant that she was wearing a duvet and he didn’t see her body.

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything.”

“I’m not worried about that.”

Her words were sincere, but her voice trembled because of her shortness of breath.

Cedric came into the blanket. The temperature inside the blanket has risen.

Artizea recognizes the swaying of the bed, and she turns her back to him and lays her back on the bed.

The bed was large so they could sleep without sufficient contact.

But Cedric’s hand gently hugged her from behind.

“Get used to it. I will too.”

“Yes.”

Artizea shuddered because his lowly voice seemed to dig into her mind.

As her cold limbs warmed to Cedric’s body temperature, it tickled her. Artizea couldn’t move and held her breath.

There was silence again.

This time Artizea started counting her heartbeat, not her breath.

The sound of Cedric’s heartbeat reaching her ears was far stronger than her own.

It wasn’t until she focused on her regular beats that she fell asleep.

Perhaps because of her long tense time, as her body relaxed, Artizea was quickly dragged to the borders of her dreams.

“Tia, are you asleep?”

Her answer didn’t come back.

Cedric gently raised his head and looked at Artizea’s face.

There was a murmur of breathing sound. The color of her lips, which had been pale all day long as her body warmed, turned pink.

Cedric carefully touched his lips to her temples.

‘I thought my heart was going to sink.’

He knew Artizea didn’t see him as a man. Still, when he opened the door and saw her for the first time, he thought about her.

Because she was so lovely.

‘You should stop thinking about it.’

She’s trusting him to the point that she falls asleep so defenselessly.

He always wanted to hug her.

She was as thin and delicate as he had thought, like she could break and disappear.

Her body temperature was warm. Cedric decided to be happy that he could keep her hands and feet warm.

After chasing a mirage for a long time, he saw the illusion of holding her in his arms. When he woke up from his dream, he was afraid that it would all crumble in blood.

Cedric sighed and lightly gripped Artizea’s left wrist. Even though it was time to go to bed, she was still wearing her diamond bracelet.

His heart beat wildly.
