Chapter 154
Undercover Infiltration Duchess
Time for Couples Only (2)
Edmond laid himself beside her with a soft smile, whether he had a guilty conscience when he looked at her watery pumpkin eyes with resentment or simply because he had been satisfied with her since the morning.
âEzet, youâre still young.â
âYesâ¦?â
âAnd the name of the marriage registration youâre worried about hasnât been corrected yet.â
ââ¦Edâ¦â¦..?â
âWell, itâs just my stubbornness. I donât want to see you suffer.â
She couldnât understand what Edmond was saying. However, Ezet only blinked because it did not have the strength to ask. Edmond kissed her forehead and patted her smooth back, which was still a slight tremble.
âI didnât hold you without being prepared. I hope our second bond is a well-prepared form.â
âSecond bondâ¦â
âFamily work.â
Do you mean the wedding? What does it have to do with taking medicine every day?
Ezet still couldnât understand what Edmond was saying. But what was in the voice was friendly consideration.
âDonât you have to worry?ââ
Ezet, who was more relieved, buried her face in Edmondâs chest. The scent of the refreshing shower sent brought back a little bit.
âEdmond, Iâm tiredâ¦â
âGet some more sleep. We can pass all of todayâs schedules and relax in bed together after a long time.â
âHow can I rest when Iâm in bed with youâ¦â
Itâs always the same thing with this guy alone. Ezet, who was jittery at the thought of pushing herself with an excuse, kissed Edmondâs chin with a chirp and turned her back.
âIâm going to rest alone. Edmond, meet His Majesty alone.â
âEzet, why am I meeting him when youâre not around?â
âDo you meet the Emperor for fun?â
âNo, it wouldnât be fun to meet. Iâm holding it in even if itâs not fun because youâre next to me.â
It was foolish to talk to this man about the responsibilities and duties of the nobility. Jett sighed quietly and pulled the blanket over him.
âIâm not as strong as Edmond. I stayed up all night last night, and then this morning⦠I canât stand it like this.â
So she meant not to seduce her for the time being, but Edmondâs reaction was strange. Instead of turning Ezetâs body the other way around, he crosses over and looks at her with a severe face.
âEzet, are you tired?â
âBecause I did it all nightâ¦â
âIâm sorry.â
Ezet was a little surprised to hear the words of apology so neatly. It meant that all she did was have sex with her husband until she fainted, but Edmond seemed to think that Ezet was tired of her husbandâs energy. If itâs too much, itâs too much. She didnât correct it.
âEdmond, nothing to worry aboutâ¦.â
âEzet, hold on a second.â
Edmond, looking at her complexion with a severe face, walked to the table and took out another bottle of medicine.
No, this time, it wasnât a vial; it was a bottle as small as a perfume, in a transparent glass bottle with a new red liquid like blood. Edmond picked it up, poured it into his mouth, approached the lying Ezet, and overlapped his lips.
Ezet, who swallowed a liquid that tasted as sour as fruit, stood firm for a moment and raised herself in surprise.
The fatigue is gone. She didnât forget her fatigue for a moment in surprise, but sheâs full of energy. The body, which was so heavy that the muscles of the whole body screamed, became lighter. It was not seen as a simple nutritional supplement. She wondered what this is.
âEdmond, what did you feed me?â
âItâs a pick-me-up that concentrates the fruit of Pibrus. Eating fruit will awaken people who are dying, but it will have side effects the next day. Itâs less effective, but itâs completely recoverable.â
âEd, donât tell me this isâ¦?â
âThe fruit of Pibrus is a specialty of the Jaxen family. Magical tools, which filter out additional effects and makes concentrates, is something I brought from Dragon lair when I was a mercenary.â
âDo you have the tools to make that stuff?â
âSince ancient times, dragons are said to contain all the wisdom of the world. We have everything we need to live in this world.â
How many magical tools does this man have? The number and size of magical tools alone, which receives fees from the Jaxen familyâs patents, are considerable, and many of Edmondâs magical tools seemed to have not yet been released to the world.
âThis is the elixir of Immortality.â
ââ¦do you need it?â
âIs there?â
Edmondâs profound response to the joke came back, and Ezetâs pupils shook wildly.
âIf you wantâ¦â
âOh, no. Donât tell me! Because Iâm scared!â
If there is an immortal drug, thatâs a big problem. Ezet quickly covered his ears and shook her head to protect world peace and humanity. Edmond smiled lightly at the corners of his mouth.
âEzet, do you hate getting older?â
âOh, no, itâs not like thatâ¦â
âI like your face.â
âWhat?â
âItâs a shame I didnât see you like a girl, but if you look at your lovely face now, I can deduce enough. It is said that face is the record of the years that you have lived.â
Unexpectedly speaking commonsense, Edmond relaxed swept Ezetâs cheek. A stiff finger came down the bridge of the nose and touched the lips.
âYour face now is made of memories of yourself and your grandmother. From now on, youâre going to build up memories with me.â
âEdmondâ¦â
âTen years later, twenty years later, fifty years later, when I became a wrinkled old man.â
Edmondâs fingertips moved along the line of Ezetâs lips and touched the dimple lightly.
âI wish I could look at your face and tell you that we had this kind of love.â
Her face 50 years from now.
Ezet has never imagined it before. It was because it was such a vague future and because she didnât want to think about his old face.
