Warm.

This feeling I haven't felt in my whole life. A feeling that surrounded and caressed my heart.

I opened my eyelids slowly and then took a moment to remove the blurry vision.

My mind slowly began to work, remembering what happened before I fell asleep in my comfortable sleep.

The shadow instantly made my entire body heat up, even my palm unbearably covered half my face due to the embarrassment that struck.

"Are you awake, my love?"

A sudden voice made me set my eyes on the origin.

I don't know why I got a little nervous about the thing we both did last night.

He didn't seem to give me a break, so I was overwhelmed by it.

And it made my cheeks very, very hot in the cold of this winter.

But one thing irritated me, I thought I would wake up first to observe the face of tampanny-m-I mean observe her ugly face while sleeping.

How dare he not wait for me to wake up first. Even he was well-groomed with the clothes he used to wear.

"Yes. It's a pity that someone won't wait for me to wake up" I upset as I sat down.

But the pain immediately stung the bottom of me so that the ring was directly ejected from my lips.

It turned out to be true said people, a woman who had just done that for the first time would feel a piercing pain.

And I admit it.

"You all right?" he asked as he began to approach me and hold my back which was hard to change position to sit.

"No, it's okay. I'm fine" I lied while pulling a blanket over my upper body that was not wrapped in a piece of clothing.

Can't I tell her about this shameful thing?

"I heard that a woman is going to be in pain after doing that for the first time, it seems like it's true" she explained, leaving me glaring in disbelief.

"W-where did you know that? Have you ever done that with another woman?" my investigation while staring hard at him.

"Of course not. I heard a lot from the nobles who had done that with their wives" he replied making me feel guilty.

And also, does Cassandra la Devoline really hate this guy so much that doing that with her own husband was she reluctant?

He was a good man, he never hurt me at all, even I hurt him a lot.

What exactly has happened between her and Cassandra la Devoline?

"Pardon me," I regret. It's weird, but the one who did it all was Cassandra la Devoline, but the guilt was on me.

"What's up?" tanyakanya.

"Pardon me for making me wait so long. I know waiting that long is a very unpleasant thing," I said, with guilt forcing me to lower my head.

"no need. Besides, I'm not interested in doing it under duress."

I didn't know how else to answer it, so I switched the subject.

"Oh, why aren't you waiting for me to wake up? You haven't even said good morning to me yet" I said trying to warm the mood.

"At first I intended to do that, but it failed because the woman who slept beside me could not stay still while sleeping so I kissed the cold of the floor because of his powerful kick," he replied, with a raised eyebrow next to my insinuation.

God, am I that extreme when I sleep? It really brought shame back to me.

A ringing of laughter becomes the only way out of this shame.

"A-ahaha," I laughed blandly while scratching my non-itchy jawbone.

"Is your bottom still hurting?" his tan was plain and unceasingly made the heat on my cheeks radiate.

But the look on his face looked worried so that it could not make me scold him and could only nod at the right omen.

"Do I need to check?"

"Huh?! You crazy?!" pekikku heard the calmness of his tone.

Did he know that it made women like me ashamed?!

"Why? Besides I've seen every part of your body, you've even seen every part of your body"

"Agh! It's already! Stop that!" I quickly silenced her lips that were constantly moving producing a sentence that made my ears unable to hear her any further due to the coarsening embarrassment.

I could feel her covering the smile behind my palm, then she put away the palm of your hand that forcefully covered her seductive lips.

"I'm kidding" he said, making me confused to be relieved or upset.

"Then, my love. What do you want breakfast for? I'll bring it, in return for making you in pain like this" he bargained to make me fold my lips.

That 'My love' call made my heart float.

But I tried to cover it so that he did not have a big head. And I also tried to repay his temptation with my talent.

I pulled a bit of the cloth slowly and changed the look on my face like a child pleading. "My love, I want to eat your cooking, is it okay?"

My lips were pursed, my eyes were round and my faithful hands pulled the blanket over my upper body.

I could see a thin red hue faintly adorning his handsome face.

Oh my God, this is a rare moment!

A Duke who is like a monster in battle, is now blushing because of my cute skit.

"If you're like that, I won't hesitate to attack you again, my love." His voice sounded hoarse, gosh is he hooked?

But that's a good thing, I'll be more intense to justify it.

"Do you have the heart to hurt me in pain like this, my love?" A crocodile tear started flooding my brown netra, making it even more frustrating.

Oh my God, I want to laugh now!

He looked very frustrated, even his blue net was like he was desperately holding back the desire.

"You said you wanted to eat my cooking, didn't you? I'll make it for you soon," he said then passed away leaving me.

When his sturdy figure disappeared through the door of my room, a laugh could no longer hold.

"ahaha! I-I didn't think he'd be that frustrated! This is really fun hahaha!"

Yes, for now I'd better enjoy it all. If the time comes, I will return the man to his real owner.

I who was just a soul who suddenly came and borrowed this body without permission, was not worthy to get the man for myself.

My job here is to repair their relationship. After that, the man's full rights will fall to a real person.

Cassandra la Devoline's.

...🥀...

Author Pov's

A blond girly man had just walked out of a room in a hasty step.

A red tinge faintly adorned the face of his handsome middle he rubbed with his arms trying to dissipate the heat.

The exact same heat he felt last night, now started attacking him.

"I know he's just running a show, but why can't I control myself?"

The man was determined, if his wife had been free from her pain, then he would not have forgiven her for daring to make himself crazy like this.

In accordance with the request of his wife who lately can accept his love, the man was willing to cook breakfast for him.

Even the maids in the kitchen were speechless and could only glare at the sight of their Master who had never touched the cooking utensils at all but could expertly use the tools.

Patently, the man floated up and turned over a neatly printed pancake dish.

"A-anu, Sir. You don't have to do it, let us do it, it's our job" Elise said amid a drowning silence.

The man seemed to turn his head for a moment, a drop of sweat had flooded his temple.

"No need, you can just get me some honey" he said, and immediately the servant rushed to find the object to which they were aiming.

In a hurry, the servants began to go looking for honey setoples.

It managed to attract the attention of a woman who was walking through the kitchen door that was slightly open.

He also poked his pretty head to peek at what was in the kitchen.

The woman was very surprised, seeing the sturdy figure of a man who had a sparkling blonde mane was decorated by sweat around his forehead as he was busy floating a flattened pancake.

Suddenly, the woman immediately stepped in and approached the man.

"My whole life, I've never seen you cook," said the woman but not the answer she got, just a new question.

"What are you doing here, Anastasia?" ask Arlen straight to the point.

"I just happen to be walking around here."

The man did not let it go and now that he had finished baking his cooking, he put the food on a plate that his servant had prepared.

"How can you make it so beautiful and perfect like this?" asked Anastasia amazed to see a plate of pancakes that had been served.

"Easy. Make it pretty roughly, if you make the dough too thin, then it'll crumble. But if it's thick then the results will be a little bland," explained Arlen began to tidy up the cookware that had been irregular.

Anastasia reviewed the sweet smile on her face. "For a long time we didn't speak so casually like this. I remember the past when we were kids" said the woman. "Hey, can I taste it?" pinta the woman but Arlen just kept quiet.

"Ah, it turns out you made it for Cassandra. It's okay, I get it." The woman only regained her senses and immediately abandoned her intentions.

"Oh yes, Arlen. Forgive what I did at that time, I could not think clearly. I'm really sorry," the woman scowled and lowered her head.

There was regretful water on her beautiful face, which was twitching both eyebrows.

"no need. I see, then I'll go upstairs first," replied Arlen briefly doing away but was detained by Anastasia.

"Wait, Arlen. I've actually been wanting to talk to you for a long time about us. I-i-"

"Is there anything else important?" The man asked with a cold face.

Very different from what he looked like a moment ago.

"Please listen to me, Arlen! I'm really sorry to have forced you all this time, but I'm really sorry now!"

A high tone of voice was thrown from Anastasia's lips, even the woman's lips trembled while with tears that began to flow from her eyes.

"I just realized that you really don't love me. Please forgive me for being stupid and selfish for forcing you all this time. But now...." Anastasia's cry broke, even the woman had been sitting on the kitchen floor.

"I want us to be the way we used to be, I miss your figure who used to care so much and care for me. I want us to be friends again like we used to be. Please forgive me." he said in a tone drowned by the high tide.

The woman was flabbergasted and raised her head when Arlen pulled her arm to help her stand up.

"Stand up, or I'll be considered the bad guy here. Besides, you don't have to apologize," the man replied, remaining flat and calm.

But it was enough to make Anastasia reveal her beautiful smile.

"So, are we getting back to being friends?" Anastasia was enthusiastically reciprocated by a slow nod by Arlen.

"Oh yeah, Cassandra must have been waiting for you a long time. Poor him, you better hurry to meet him!" persemat Anastasia while pushing the sturdy body of the man.

Arlen could only breathe. It seemed like this childish little friend of his had returned again.

...🥀...

What is this, it turns out that he really followed my request?

I was just joking around, I didn't think he was actually making me breakfast.

I was shocked at first, but I finally felt happy. Just this time I felt very cared for and pampered.

Because I was a little orphan, I lived in an orphanage.

And since I was the oldest in the orphanage, I was the one who had to act as an older sister to the children who were in the orphanage.

I've been independent since I was little, anything I've always done myself. I rarely ask people for help.

A simple thing like this is enough to make me very happy.

"Thank you" I said sincerely and then started taking a spoonful of pancakes he had made to me.

I could feel him staring at me all the time I was eating, but strangely I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"You look so happy. Is my cooking that good?" tanyakanya.

"Rather than feeling, I appreciate the effort of the man who made this to me."

"You mean my food doesn't taste good?"

"Good God, it's not that!" my sergeant. I was poetic, but he misrepresented.

"His Majesty the King said that three more days would be held in the palace."

Party at the palace?!

"The party?! Then, are you going?!" tanyaku.

"Of course, because I'm a Duke. There's no way on this kind of show I don't go."

"Can I come with you?"

He seemed to be smiling. "Sure, but there are conditions."

I raise my eyebrows. "What?"

His index finger began to move and pointed at his own cheek, then he said. "As long as I get a kiss in the sin-"

A brief kiss landed on his cheek before he could finish his sentence.

"I can go with you, right?" my heart is full of smiles of victory.

This man seemed to cover half his face, and then he blurted out a sentence from his lips that was like a peach flower.

"I'd go crazy if I kept being around you."
