You won’t be disappointed, the couple’s tension is out of this world and you will learn about Tamon’s new side.?

    ?

    ***?

    ?

    Hundreds of people cried out for Tamon’s returning party.?

    ?

    “The great Tamon!”?

    ?

    They called his name on the top of their lungs, as if they were welcoming the people who had just returned from war, even though they had only gone on a mission.?

    ?

    The surging crowd was out of control.?

    ?

    Roselyn’s feverish eyes narrowed as she stared at the cheering crowd.?

    ?

    ‘There are too many. I feel sick…’?

    ?

    They ran towards the delegation as they entered the gate, their faces were full of joy and excitement.?

    ?

    “There are too many. Hold on tight. If you’re separated from me, you may die immediately as you wish.”?

    ?

    Tamon was right. If Roselyn let go of him, she would surely be trampled to death by the people. She wouldn’t even be able to scream.?

    ?

    ‘I think that’s good.’?

    ?

    Tamon wrapped his firm hands around Roselyn’s waist. He clicked his tongue.?

    ?

    “You probably will do it anyway.”?

    ?

    He murmured in a low voice into Roselyn’s ear.?

    ?

    Roselyn grinned.?

    ?

    It was a faint smile, so faintly that she didn’t realize that it was the first smile of a person who was brought back to life from the dead.?

    ?

    Tamon, who had been watching the crowd for sometime, took a firm hold of the reins.?

    ?

    “Ronasso!”?

    ?

    He called out in a powerful voice to Ronasso, who was at the front line. With a sense of foreboding, Ronasso turned around and shouted, “No!?

    ?

    But Tamon’s horse was already backing away.?

    ?

    “I’m leaving, Ronasso! Lead them!”?

    ?

    “Oh..ho..you’re running away all by yourself? Oh my God!”?

    ?

    “General, general!”?

    ?

    Ronasso and the men shouted at Tamon in a hushed voice. But Tamon’s horse was forcefully turned back the way they had come.?

    ?

    The speed increased and the rattling became louder. Roselyn reflexively tightened her grip on Tamon’s shirt.?

    ?

    It was hot. And with Tamon behind her, she was soaked with sweat in the blanket.?

    ?

    The signs of horrible torture she was subjected to in Tanatos was almost gone, but the heat seemed to be killing her once again.?

    ?

    It was strange to feel like she was going to die from the heat, a feeling she had never felt before. That made it feel even worse.?

    ?

    Tamon chuckled at the sight of her sweating hotly, he said in a clear and teasing tone.?

    ?

    “The Ice Queen is melting. Does it feel worse to you? Well, once you get used to it, you’ll be fine.”?

    ?

    ‘What?’?

    ?

    Roselyn thought she would rather freeze to death than be hot like this.?

    ?

    The cold could be endured with a fire and a few woolen clothing. How could people survive in this heat? Nonetheless, she felt that Amor was amazing.?

    ?

    “You must be having a hard time. It’s not that hot right now because it’s spring. Summer in this country is as harsh as your winter, but you shouldn’t be sick already.”?

    ?

    “Even hotter than this?”?

    ?

    Roselyn replied in a weak and surprised voice.?

    ?

    “Fortunately, I’m not going to be alive until then…”?

    ?

    “Nonsense. You will get to greet all the seasons in this country. Summer is hot and brilliant, so look forward to it.”?

    ?

    Tamon looked happy somehow.?

    ?

    Roselyn wanted to spoil his mood, but she didn’t have the energy to do it.?

    ?

    She thought only the cold was scary, but the heat was also harsh.?

    ?

    “Wait a moment. I’ll have you cooled down in no time.”?

    ?

    Roselyn closed her eyes without further answer.?

    ?

    She felt so weak and stuffy that she didn’t want to care about anything.?

    ?

    ‘I shouldn’t be, I shouldn’t be so lethargic.……’?

    ?

    Roselyn forced herself to picture her parents and their faces, the sacrifices they made because of her.?

    ?

    A cold sweat broke out on her back, and she felt goosebumps. But she couldn’t think about anything else as she was in the blanket and endured the heat.?

    ?

    Her body, which had yet to fully recover, also played a part in her lethargy.?

    ?

    Roselyn’s neck snapped back incessantly. Tamon hugged her lightly but he didn’t know if she was fainting or asleep.?

    ?

    He was tired of being attached, but he was frustrated that he didn’t have the strength to push her away.?

    ?

    The only good thing was that Roselyn could feel some wind from the moment the horse started running.?

    ?

    How long did he run like that??

    ?

    It seemed that the speed gradually slowed down, and at some point it stopped completely.?

    ?

    With her eyes closed, she heard his voice faintly in her ears.?

    ?

    “We’re here.”?

    ?

    Roselyn slowly opened her eyes and glanced over to where Tamon was looking.?

    ?

    The low-rise white brick mansion with overgrown green trees. And there was a faint smell of the ocean.?

    ?

    “Welcome to my mansion.”?

    ?

    With his back against the sun, Tamon chuckled.?

    ?

    The residence of Tamon Krasis.?

    ?

    Roselyn couldn’t believe she had come all this way.….?

    ?

    It didn’t feel too real.?

    ?

    Roselyn glared at him blankly, but before she knew it, she closed her eyes.?

    ?

    Tamon, who was staring at the unconscious Roselyn, grabbed her.?

    ?

    He walked broadly to his mansion with Roselyn in his arms. He held her tightly as if not to let even an inch of space unused.?

    ?

    A smile rose from his lips with satisfaction.?

    ?

    ***?

    ?

    “Oh, my God! General!”?

    ?

    “Everyone, the Lord is here!”?

    ?

    Dozens of servants poured out with the uproar. Tamon walked right past them as if it was annoying and quickly went inside.?

    ?

    “Oh, how did he get here so quickly? Did you get what he wanted? He’s safe, right? And what’s that thing he’s holding? “?

    ?

    “You’re too noisy. Did you get the water??

    ?

    “Yes? Yes! I’m sorry. I got it!”?

    ?

    The chief attendant, who had been taking care of the mansion for a long time, breathlessly opened the door to the bathroom and filled the tub with water in advance.?

    ?

    Amor was a country where people loved to bathe. They enjoyed bathing and swimming whenever they could because the water was plentiful and the days were often hot.?

    ?

    The more prestigious the residence, the better bathrooms.?

    ?

    And Tamon, he was the most powerful man in the country.?

    ?

    His mansion had the nicest bathrooms in the country that even the royal family would envy. And then some.?

    ?

    “Move. No one is allowed in here.”?

    ?

    Tamon, who had pushed aside the attendants who were trying to follow him into the bathroom, firmly closed the door.?

    ?

    The door to the huge bathroom slammed shut and the smoke from the warm water created an enclosed room.?

    ?

    Tamon shook his head as he looked down at Roselyn, who was lifeless as if she was beaten by the heat.?

    ?

    It wasn’t even that hot in Amor, but for a young lady from the land of winter, it seemed unbearable.?

    ?

    Come to think of it, she must have been hot when she was wrapped in the blanket.?

    ?

    With Roselyn in his arms, Tamon strode to the tub.?

    ?

    As he walked, he also took off the blanket and outer clothing that surrounded her. The dagger and the cumbersome mithril he was wearing were also roughly thrown on the bathtub railing.?

    ?

    When he placed her in the warm water tub, Roselyn, who he thought had fainted, twitched and shivered.?

    ?

    It seemed that she was out of energy, not fainted.?

    ?

    He quickly looked over her body.?

    ?

    The bruises that were speckled all over her body had disappeared before he knew it.?

    ?

    Instead, in their place, the marks he had left on her body were spread out like hot flowers everywhere.?

    ?

    Looking through them one by one, Tamon was somewhat irresistibly satisfied.?

    ?

    Even though after a long ride, he finally returned to his home base, Tamon couldn’t release any of his tension.?

    ?

    It must have been an exhausting march, even for Tamon, but strangely enough, he didn’t feel a bit tired.?

    ?

    He was filled with a burning sense of satiety, as if he was coming back from a huge victory.?

    ?

    Feeling more alive and energized than tired, Tamon didn’t hesitate and get into the tub.?

    ?

    Splash, the deeper he went inside, the deeper the water became. The water that started at his ankles soon reached his waist.?

    ?

    The warm water forced Roselyn’s consciousness, which had completely descended, floated to the surface.?

    ?

    “Ah!”?

    ?

    She jumped up in surprise and stumbled, unable to keep her balance. Tamon deftly reached out and grabbed her by her thin waist.?

    ?

    Roselyn opened her eyes and stared at Tamon with a frown. Tamon chuckled and said,?

    ?

    “You must have come to your senses.”
