CHAPTER 61

I whispered in Killian ear the part 'on the bed', and Killian's ears slowly began to turn red.

"Your back, your shoulder, and your arm muscles that move when holding, stretching, and swinging the sword are really cool. I can tell that you have been training hard for a long time."

Killian didn't bother to stop me, as if he wanted to hear it even though his face seemed to be burning. However, he was sarcastic for no reason because he didn't want to lose.

"You must have your own firm standards for observing a man's body."

"Of course , just as Killian has his own taste in observing a woman's body."

Killian now tends to obsess over the "sexy part" of my body, unlike someone who loved the slender Lizzy. Whether he was aware of it or not, Killian's face was so red that he couldn't even say that he was fine with those empty words. Even though i provoke him with sloppy words, looking at him like this, it is surprisingly naive. But suddenly he asked, hardening his face.

"But if you've been spying on me. . . . . you must be seen Cliff body, too?"

"Oh, because the two of you always train together."

"Did you look through Cliff's body like that?"

"You can't make the invisible invisible."

Killian's eyes grew fierce. Why would this guy who said he likes Lizzy showing his jealousy to me? However, it was necessary to let him go in moderation because it would be dangerous to go forward if we finished this date while hurting his feelings.

"Of course, my taste is you. I like round and firm muscles. . . . .Honestly, Cliff's muscles have gotten a little more toned. Even if I'm a little lazy, I tend to gain some weight. But Killian's butt is a bit tighter. . . . ."

"Whoa. . . . ."

Ugh, I fell into self-interested talk without realizing it. Why did he drag the topic of conversation about his lower half body? I quietly lowered my raised hands as if trying to grab something.

"I thought you liked my chest, but was it my butt part? Sigh. . . . It's too lewd. . . ."

"What, what, what part!. It's Part. . . . ."

I shook my head in disbelief and raised my head, pretending to be shameless, but Killian's eyes sparkled in different ways than I've seen before.

"We marriage. . . . Well, that right. We're married couple anyway, so whether it's a chest or butt as a couple, we can look at it with confidence."

"Ha, haha. That's. . . . .that's right."

Now, even the back of my neck is burning up. I'd like to stop talking about this topic. . . . .

"The wind is cool, but summer is summer."

"That's right. It's a little hot. . . . "

I was flapping the fan thinking it was a relief that the topic of the conversation had changed, but Killian grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him and whispering something.

"Let's wash our sweat. Together. . . . . "

"Yes. . . . ?"

While I stood there dumbfounded, he called the maid from a distance and ordered her to prepare the bath water quickly. And while the maid ran off, he continued his walk, hugging my waist as if nothing had happened. But it was take only 15 minutes for the maids to prepare the bath water ready.

"Shall we go do something more like a married couple now?"

Killian grabbed my waist and turned toward the mansion. Somehow, my husband's demands seem to be crossing the line day by day. Personally, I was grateful for that.

***

Killian has changed. And he was changing more and more. It was the moment Killian came to take me to Lizzy's tea time , and I realized it for sure.

"I decided to drink tea outside today. Let's go together."

"Huh ? Is it tea time. . . . with Lizzy and Cliff by any chance?"

"That right."

Killian replied lightly as if it were nothing, but I was surprised that he came to take me to their own tea time. Wasn't he the one who came to take me with an unpleasant face when Lizzy told him to? He even warned her to be careful what she said, and while I was both shocked and thrilled by the change, I remembered the old tea time we were invited by Lizzy.

"I didn't get an invitation today."

"I told you in advance. There's no way Lizzy would refuse it if you are going."

Well, of course, considering Lizzy character, but I couldn't get rid of the awkwardness for some reason.

'How would Lizzy think if seen Killian's has changed?'

Of course, she doesn't know that she's the main character of this world, and she doesn't even know that Killian is just a "sub-male lead." However, what she knows is that Cliff and Killian were always there for her and only for her. How would it feel to see the guy who's always looked out for her, be kind to a woman he didn't like before.

'Originally, the sub male leas is not enough for me to have it, but it's a waste to give it to others.'

In the original, there's a scene where Lizzy asks Killian to be nice to Edith, but it's hard to tell if she really means it or not. I walked out into the garden with Killian and felt a bit nervous. An elegant tea table had been set up in the shade of tree Lizzy, and Cliff was already seated. They were laughing out loud at what they were talking about.

'Killian. . . . .Will it be okay?'

Because of the friendly atmosphere between the two, I looked at him with concern for Killian. But Killian was looking down at me.

"Wouldn't it be better to bring something to wear?"

"Oh, no. Summer isn't over yet."

"Then I'm afraid I'll get annoyed because you are going to catch a cold."

"I won't bother you if i catch a cold."

I replied with a chuckle, and Killian furrowed his brow.

"It's true. I'm not going to let you know if I've got a cold, so don't worry. . . . ."

"It's not funny."

"What?"

"If you hide your pain one more time, I'll never let you go, so keep it in mind."

"Ha, but. . . . . You said it's annoying?"

". . . . . I made a mistake. Are you offended?"

"No, that's. . . . ."

I was trying to pick an answer, wondering why he was doing this again, but luckily, Lizzy stepped in and cut off the awkward atmosphere between us.

"It's been a long time, Edith!"

"Oh, Lizzy! It's been a long time. Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes! I gained weight because I was lying down and only eating delicious food."

Lizzy sticks out her lips cutely and pinches her side with her hand. But I barely caught on, though.

"Lizzy, how many times do I tell you that you need to gain more weight?"

Cliff laughed and criticized Lizzy, and Killian nodded as if he agreed. Then Lizzy looked at me enviously and said.

"No matter how much I eat, it's impossible to have a body like Edith. It's just growing my sides."

"Miss Edith has her own charm, and you have your own charm, too. You are pretty enough."

"Thank you, Cliff. But sometimes I envy Edit. Even in Killian's view, Edith is better, right?"

Hmm? Something. . . . . Is it because I'm too sensitive that the story feels strangely flowing? Why are you suddenly comparing yourself to me?

'What am I going to do if you ask me like that? Of course, Killian will be on your side.'

I tried to laugh with my teeth clenched. The problem is Lizzy, she was perfect everything but she doesn't notice that. Then Killian said casually with a slightly stiff face.

"I don't want to talk about my wife's body in front of another man."

But the answer seems to be funny to Cliff. He continued to shake his shoulders and laugh beside Lizzy, who apologized.

"Ahahaha!"

"What is it?"

"No, kkk, sorry, sorry."

"Don't laugh and talk."

Killian kept staring at Cliff, but Cliff didn't care at all. He said with a smile on his face.

"I guess you are having a good time with your wife these days."

Killian's forehead was further wrinkled by the way he spoke, which he didn't know if it mocked him or a compliment.

"What are you talking about?"

"No, nothing. Your wife will get into trouble. Let's have some tea."

"You the one put me in trouble. . . . ."

Killian was silent when he saw the puzzled look on Lizzy's face, but I knew what Cliff was talking about. In the original, no, let's not go to the original if it was a few months ago. Killian would have been answered by giving Lizzy a praising. But the answer earlier was closer to enveloping me. Even Cliff feels bad when he looks at me. . . . . And I've been looking at Lizzy's expression since a while ago. I noticed that Lizzy was surprised by Killian's answer, too.

'No way, did you say that because you thought Killian would definitely lift you up?'

Even though you knew I was going to be humiliated here or . . . . was she trying to confirm Killian's feelings? However, Lizzy quickly erased her surprised expression and smiled brightly as if she was happy.

"You two look so good. It's like a real couple. . . . .!"

Seeing her blushing, I thought I could roughly guess what the real couple Lizzy was talking about. Looking at that, I breathed a sigh of relief.

'Yes, that right, there is no way that Lizzy would have uttered such words with insidious thoughts. It's just that she's a bit slow-witted, but she's a nice girl.'

This is a fact that is clearly stated in the original. Lizzy Sinclair is bright. that it is good and fair. There's no way she was trying to screw me over on purpose.

"Edith. I have Mandarin tea or strawberry tea. Which do you prefer?"

I put aside all my thoughts and smiled brightly at Lizzy's voice, asking about my tea taste.

"I prefer strawberry tea."

"You also like strawberry tarts, so it seems that you really like strawberries."

Killian spoke to me again this time. Once again, Lizzy and Cliff's slightly startled gaze turned toward us. Of course, this is something I don't have to do.
