Chapter 11

“Damn it! What?!”

“Please, open up! See that the sun is up in the sky! How long are you going to fool around in bed!?”

From the door came a violent outburst. Jungkook threw his fierce gaze towards the man standing outside, as if his vision could cut through the material.

“If you interrupt me a second time, I’ll take your guts out! And if you dare protest, I’ll kill you.”

“We need to leave! Did you forget you still have to go back to the capital after you visit your estate?!”

“It’s not like we’re going to die if we delay for a day, so don’t fuck with me!”

“Leader!”

“Go, go! You’ve been acting up for a little bastard!”

He shook his head and furiously cried. Lisa froze; this was the first conversation with nasty swearing she had ever heard in her life. Then, Jungkook raised himself up with a troubled face and shouted out at the door.

“Put the wagon on hold! I’ll get ready and go.”

His opponent outside the door banged away incessantly, refusing to budge. Riftan sighed loudly, looking down at the floor.

“I shouldn’t have brought those children with me..”

“…”

“Wait for minute. I’ll go out and get some clothes for you.”

With a pale, weary face, she pulled the sheet to her neck and nodded. The man who was standing, and was in the middle of picking up his clothes, looked at her tear-streaked face and frowned.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…”

“Spit it out. If you haven’t noticed it yet, I’m in a hurry.”

She hasn’t missed it at all. Her husband, who she was reunited just yesterday, had an extremely fiery temper. She murmured timidly,

“Well, the, the people outside, the people… you know, you know…”

“You know what?”

“Wh-what, what, what we did here…”

“…”

Her face glowed as if it was set on fire. The man’s mouth suddenly twitched at the corner as he gazed down her blushing face. The next moment, beyond all incredulity, he tossed the garments and went for the sheets.

“Ju-jungkook!”

“Oh, you’re driving me crazy.”

He grinned breathlessly as he hugged her body and lifted her unto his lap. Lisa fluttered her legs in embarrassment. He was laughing so innocently, far from the overbearing man from before and she couldn’t believe it.

“You naive noblewoman. Of course, my men know what we did. There’s no such thing as a couple, who were reunited after three years of separation, would sleep in one room merely holding hands.”

“Ha, but…”

“It’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’re married, and it’s natural for you and me to do this and that.”

Natural? She knew it was her duty as his wife, but what he shared with her didn’t seem natural. Suddenly Lisa was surprised at her own thoughts. Shared? Was the deed they did last night something of a give and take scenario? She couldn’t figure out why she felt this way. After all, it was all an act one had to endure to have a child…
