Chapter 104

“Wait a bit of. I’ll wash up and are available again quickly, perceive?”

“Ah? U-uh, uhng…”

Iellie gave a silly reply. Even so, at that second, her thoughts was fully clean, and she or he couldn’t consider something. In the meantime, Zachary smiled and handed her facet.

‘Oh, my god…’

“…Silly, you fool.”

It was solely after the lavatory door closed with a click on that Iellie regained her senses. She was so pathetic.

By the point she was drying her moist hair, Zachary had slipped out of the lavatory. His agency, stable chest was uncovered by way of the loosely tied robe. As she gazed on the determine as if possessed, she ultimately got here to her senses.

“Oh no, you didn’t dry your hair in any respect?”

She wrinkled her brow, seeing drops of water have been dripping down his pure white silver hair.

“Come on.”

“It’s okay, I’ll simply brush off the water…”

“It’s nonetheless spring. You’ll catch a chilly.”

As Zachary, who listened to Iellie’s phrases, obediently obeyed her name this time as properly, Iellie then put a towel over his hair and began rubbing it.

She whispered softly.

“It was like this earlier than.”

“Earlier than?”

“Sure. Once you returned from inspecting the property, hit within the snow.”

She smiled softly. It was then that she abruptly remembered the cool scent of snow emanating from him because the sound of the delicate towel rubbing in opposition to his silver hair. They’d grown lots since then, and their relationship had modified.

‘As a result of Zachary is now not like a bit of brother to me.’

Iellie thought so with a critical face.

The precarious boy she first met has disappeared, leaving solely a stupendous younger man who held and shook her coronary heart.

After some time, she eliminated her towel.

“It’s all dry.”

“Thanks.”

Iellie’s coronary heart thumped at his smiling face, and Zachary stood up and spoke kindly.

“Then, lets sleep?”

“Sure.”

As the 2 of them crawled into the blanket facet by facet, they held palms and smiled at one another.

“Good night time.”

“Sure. Good night time to you, too.”

A small night time greeting rang, and the 2 turned off the lights earlier than they closed their eyes.

It was an ungainly night time of silence.

Nevertheless, it was the primary day they shared a mattress collectively, and there was no method they might go to sleep that simply. Iellie, who opened her eyes, rolled her pupils. Zachary appeared to be the identical as his voice got here by way of.

“Len.”

“Sure?”

Shocked, she shrugged her shoulders, and a low snigger got here. He requested a small query.

“You possibly can’t sleep?”

“Properly…”

‘After all. I’m with you so I can’t sleep as a result of I’m nervous… It’s the primary night time we spend collectively after the marriage, isn’t it?’

Nonetheless, she will be able to’t say that, so Iellie simply threw a brief joke.

“I can’t sleep like this.”

“Why?”

“It’s proper after the marriage, and it’s unfair that I couldn’t even go on a honeymoon.”

A rustling sound got here from her joke.

Zachary, who was mendacity on his facet, stared at Iellie. Even within the darkness, the brilliant blue gaze gazed solely at her. What to do? Her coronary heart was pounding unexpectedly.

“Then, lets go see the ocean?”

“Sea…?”

At these phrases, Iellie widened her eyes as Zachary bowed his head in direction of her, and he requested.

“Do you know that there’s a personal seashore owned by the Duchy?”

“Sure, I do know that…”

Nevertheless, since she married him, she had by no means been to the personal seashore as a result of the 2 didn’t stay a cushty life sufficient to calm down leisurely.

Zachary laughed.

“There’s a small island there.”

“Ah, are you speaking about Florente Island?”

He widened his eyes. A delicate voice tickles her ears.

“You understand?”

“Sure. The butler instructed me.”

After the earlier Duke died and Iellie grew to become the mistress of Hessenweitz, the very first thing she did was to search out out all the Duke’s property. It was pure for her to care for the family.

“And, there’s a small villa on that island…”

She blurred her phrases. The small villa at Florente Island was the favourite place of the earlier Duchess. So her father-in-law, after his spouse’s demise, closed Florente Island itself.

“If it’s okay, would you prefer to go there?”

Iellie rolled her eyes at Zachary’s query. It had been a very long time since she had seen the ocean, so the provide didn’t appear unhealthy.

“I prefer it. When ought to we go?”

“Now.”

“…Now?”

Shocked, she widened her eyes, however Zachary, quite the opposite, seemed calm.

“It’s night time now?”

“What’s flawed with that?”

“No, I imply—”

There was nothing to ask anymore. Iellie, who frowned, requested one other query.

“Aren’t you busy?”

“Sure, I’m not busy.”

“Why?”

“Even when it wasn’t so, I used to be going to take a break with you after we received married.”

As he answered in a wierd voice, she confronted Zachary, however he solely grinned as he added his phrases, “So I intentionally rushed every part and took care of it.”

“Oh my God, actually?”

“After all.”

That was why she thought he had been so busy these days. Within the meantime, he even ready a tiara for her… Iellie was barely moved.

He tilted his head barely and brushed her cheek.

“And to be trustworthy, I needed to go to Florente Island with you a minimum of as soon as.”

“With me? Why?”

“It’s simply…”

Zachary, who had responded with out hesitation till now, hesitated a bit of this time earlier than he answered fastidiously.

“I needed to have time alone with nobody round.”

“Uh…”

“Anyway, there are some individuals within the Duke’s Citadel.”

Clearly, nobody tried to intervene with the personal lifetime of the Ducal couple, however the feeling itself was a bit completely different.

“Really, I instructed the butler prematurely.”

“Actually?”

“Sure. Don’t be stunned if he doesn’t see us for a number of days, and if there’s something pressing, contact the island.”

Having stated that, he sighed barely as Iellie unusually felt the within of her mouth dry up on the similar time.

“So… so long as it’s okay with you.”

“….”

“I wish to go someplace the place we will spend time alone, even proper now.”

There was a touch of warmth in his voice. Zachary’s cheeks have been crimson at midnight. When he stated this, there was no method that she might refuse.

In the long run, she nodded shyly.

And never too lengthy after, the 2 of them received out of the citadel. Although she was a bit of sorry that they didn’t use the room that had been purposely arrange for the primary night time, she couldn’t assist it. Iellie, who was holding his hand and shifting her steps step-by-step, abruptly requested.

“By the best way, Zachary.”

“Huh?”

“You instructed the butler prematurely, however what if everybody remains to be anxious?”

“Nervous?”

Zachary tilted his head and gazed down at Iellie. She opened her mouth, barely narrowing her forehead.

“Nonetheless, you’re the Duke, however you may’t exit like this with out an escort.”

“So that you’re anxious that I’d get into bother?”

“It’s not simply that…”

Iellie silently seemed up at him. She was so cute in his eyes, and Zachary smiled softly.

“Len.”

“Huh?”

“Nobody on this empire can put me in peril.”

As he uttered that, his voice was near certainty. Zachary was a person with the facility to say that.

“And also you’re the one I’ll defend even at the price of my life.”

“Huh…”

No, she didn’t ask as a result of she thought it might be harmful. The subsequent second, Zachary spoke calmly.

“As a result of you’re the proprietor of my soul and coronary heart.”

It was in opposition to the foundations to make individuals flutter like this! Iellie hurriedly turned her face crimson and peered away.

“Come right here.”

Zachary, who had pulled the horse from the steady, reached out his hand to her, however Iellie shook her head at him.

“I can trip by myself now.”

“Actually? My Len has grown up.”
