Lips On The Tip Of a Knife

Chapter 7

Ep 7: I know that

The bush shook little. Arne’s eyes narrowed.

‘ What have I seen now ? ‘

The man with eye contact hid among the bushes , but it was too late. I saw red hair that shouldn’t be here.

‘ The unpleasant pretense l’ve felt so far is , no way … … ? ‘

I couldn’t have seen it well. Arne shot to live at the bush so that no one else could feel it. Startle. Red hair rose slightly and then disappeared. It was a short moment , but confirmed. Sadly , it was someone I knew.

‘ Why is that kid here ? ‘

Why is the one who should have been in the Western Empire found in the gardens of the castle of Terneugen? He was not a member of the Imperial Guard , which Ciklion IV attached to while rebuking Arne as an imperial woman. Not even a wedding guest. No matter how much I tried , I couldn’t think of the reason he was here , so it was when Arne was narrowing his eyebrows. The man pulled his head out over the bush. Once again , the two eyes met. Arne made an impression.

‘ Why are you there ? ‘

‘ Hehe. ‘

‘ Turn off. ‘

‘ No! ‘

There was a silent conversation with only glances and facial expressions. At Arne’s glance that she couldn’t see anything more ,his red hair shook his head horizontally and made a pitiful expression. It was a moment when Arne got up to catch him and throw him away , because he would be stuck without thinking about it going off.

” Ah , Arne! “

” uh ? “

At the same time as Eva’s desperate shout , Arne fluttered , feeling the presence of touching behind her back. Cassian smiled as he grabbed Arne’s body , which was staggering.

” Are you okay ? “

“………….. Ah. “

…………… After all , it wasn’t an illusion.

‘ I didn’t feel it again. ‘

My mind flashed. Arne’s confused gaze turned to Cassian. No matter how much I was focusing elsewhere , this situation didn’t make sense. A knight who was about Arne’s back showed off his back , but did you notice it now ? If it was a battlefield , there was nothing to say even if I died.

‘ Of course , if it were a battlefield , it would not have created this situation itself … …. ‘

Is it the aftermath of being a normal lady for a while and taking a break from training ? No matter what , it was because of a strict order from the Duchess to not even get close to the
‘knight ‘ of the sword for at least three months of maintaining the marriage , but there was no excuse. However , even if I take a break , the feelings that have reached the stage will not rust at once. Didn’t you even notice the red hair hiding in the evidence ?

‘ Then , there is one conclusion left.’

Arne’s tense gaze looked up at Cassian.

‘ Are you really good at it ? ‘

How can I not get caught up in my feelings ? Somehow , Kassian appeared to have been physically trained in some way.

“Surely………. Have you already been caught ? ‘

Arne tried a reasonable doubt about what an ordinary lady and what had already been ruined from the beginning. Maybe he had already noticed that he was a Swordmaster. Because a stickman recognizes a stickman. As Arne looked at herself in silence , she looked at her , and Cassian tilted her head. I couldn’t figure out why I was so vigilant.

‘ It’s like a cat with its fur tight. ‘

Maybe this kind of reaction was discovered yesterday that he was about to die , and Cassian became more serious . When Cassian carefully released his hand that held Arne , Arne was groaning. He knew that Arne was overwhelming with his touch , but Cassian let Arne go , pretending not to know.

” What are you doing ? “

” Well … it’s nothing. “

Arne , who was belatedly reminded of the red hair between the bushes , moved to cover the bushes. It would be useless if Kassian was a real sword master , but it was a reflex action. As Arne moved awkwardly away , a subtle crack appeared in Cassian’s smile.

“…………”

“…………”

Arne covered the bush with her body.As Cassian tried to look behind him , Arne hurriedly grabbed him.

” haha “

As if hiding something , Cassian pretended not to know. I had already noticed that something was hiding in the bush , but now it wasn’t important.

” By the way , what are you doing here … ? “

Arne asked desperately , thinking that he should somehow turn Cassian’s attention. At Arne’s question , Cassian’s gaze turned to the mountain of gifts.

” Do you like the gift ? “

” Gift … ? Oh , that one. “

” that ? “

” haha . Yes , I like it. “

At Arne’s attitude of no interest , Cassian narrowed his eyes. I didn’t think you could be happy with something like a gift , but isn’t this too uninteresting ? It was when Arne and Cassian were looking at each other with different thoughts.

” [ Are you my son – in – law ! ] “

A loud voice from the magic sphere greeted Cassian. When the duchess appeared , their eyes turned to the magic sphere. In a moment , Arne’s expression hardened.

” [ Oh my son – in – law ! You see the son in – law’s face like this. Can you come closer to the magic sphere to make it more visible ? Oh , look at the character’s good looks. Arne , you wish. Because that handsome man is your husband. ] “

Arne forcibly laughed , barely swallowing the word that he had yet to survive because of that face. Cassian greeted the duchess.

” Greetings to the Duchess of Breelcht. I should have seen you in person and said hello , but I apologize for this late greeting. “

– [ Oh ~ What a heavy greeting between us. Call me your mother – in – law comfortably Wouldn’t all of them be in one family now ? ] “

” My mother – in – law is right. Arne was beautiful because she resembled mother – in – law. “

“[ Oh , oh. Look what it says. Yes , all my daughters are pretty just like me. Our son – in – law wasn’t just a handsome face ~ ! ] “

Unable to endure the shame of her mother’s embarrassing spirit , Arne desperately avoided the situation by covering her face with her hands.

‘ please … please … ‘

Whether Arne was shy or not , Cassian enjoyed this situation.

” I wanted to attend the wedding ceremony , but I am sorry for not being able to hold the ceremony in the Western Empire. “

” [ Well , it could be . It is also because of my weak body. It would be a lie if you weren’t sorry , but what would be important to that format ? My son – in law is going to be very much in the process of construction , so I have to understand. Ho Ho . I wanted to see what would happen when the meeting was over , but it seems that our relationship was a bond. Is not it ? Ho ho ho . ] “

“I’m sorry about that . Suddenly something urgent happened. “

Cassian’s gaze turned to Arne for a moment . Arne , who met his eyes , avoided her gaze without knowing it. I remembered the black history I had forgotten.

” [ If something urgent happens , I can’t help it. It’s not because I’m sorry or I don’t like it.] “

“Mom , please . “

When Arne was embarrassed to die , Cassian laughed unknowingly. Arne saw this for the first time. In other things , Arne , the savage , seemed completely different in front of the Duchess. Cassian smiled when he realized that instinctively he had to embrace the Duchess to attack Arne.

” I will make time later and visit the Western Empire with Arne. “

“[ You are coming to this far place ~ ? After all , we only think about the son in – law. We’re okay though. Don’t mind. What is important for us , it is more important for the two to live well . Right , Arne ? ] “

“………… Huh ? Yes. “

“[ Tsk. Look at that answering isn’t cool either. Son – in – law , my child is like this. ] “

“haha. “

“[ Are you doing really well ? ]”

“……….”

The weight of the voice was different for this question. When asked by the Duchess if she was doing well to pretend to be an ordinary lady , Arne looked elsewhere. The duchess ‘ eyes narrowed.

“[ Look at this , son – in – law . My child is so shy ~ If it weren’t for son – in – law , she would never have married. My son – in – law should take good care of her. Understand ? ] “

“Yes , I will take good care of it. “

“[ Oops ~ As expected , we only have son – in – law. ] “

The duchess laughed loudly and suddenly started talking about something else.

“-[ Oh right. I forgot to say hello. I don’t know how surprised my husband and I were at the enormous gift sent by my son – in – law this time. I didn’t know he would take care of us like this. No matter how envious the wives who see it and know it , I really have a higher snot. Thanks , son – in – law. It’s all thanks to you. ] “

“I will send you more next time. “

“[ Oh ~ I didn’t mean to send it , but l’ll take it because I’ll send it. Thanks , son – in – law. ]”

Please… I hope you stop. Arne wanted to be freed from the hell of chatter that would never end. All of this was due to the development of civilization and the magic sphere.

‘ Magic tool , must be removed. ‘

Eventually , Arne , who could not stand it , moved.

” [ So I mean , son – in – law …. ] “

Paat. The light of the magic sphere disappeared. Out of the magic sphere , Arne and Cassian. In a moment , silence came. Arne didn’t have the courage to see Cassian.

” Sorry. “

” What is it ? “

” Just , everything ……. “

” I enjoy. Your mother is pleasant. “

Pleasant…….. ? Could it be that the main sentence can be struck with one word of pleasure ? Arne was in earnest agony and saw Cassian.

” By the way , what are you really doing ? Isn’t it time for work ? “

At Arne’s question unintentionally penetrating Cassian’s routine , Cassian opened his eyes round for a moment and then laughed. It was the first time that I felt so good that someone was aware of myself. It wasn’t a bad mood. No , it was okay. After chewing over the unfamiliarity , Cassian’s smile deepened.

” Did you feel better ? “

” mind … ? “

What’s wrong with your mind ? As if answering Arne’s question , Cassian added a word.

” I mean yesterday . “

” yesterday ……”

‘ What was there yesterday ? ‘

In a moment , Cassian’s eyes darkened. In his eyes , Arne recalled the memories of yesterday he had forgotten.

‘ Oh , the window case ? ‘

The incident was mistaken for trying to die after climbing on the windowsill to avoid the first night. Even Cassian was still misunderstood that Arne was about to die. Arne missed a moment. How to solve this misunderstanding ?

” Is your marriage so painful ? “

not really …

” I’m sorry I didn’t notice in advance that you were suffering enough to even make up your mind against this world. “

It’s not really ….

” So why don’t you tell me why ? I will help. “

” No , it’s okay. “

Arne was serious. It was really good.

” Yes , there’s no way you could just confess. “

But Cassian’s misunderstanding was too hard.

” No , it’s real ! It’s really okay ! “

” I see. “

” It’s really okay ! “

” Yes , you don’t have to struggle like that. “

Arne appealed that he was okay , but he did not reach Cassian.

‘ it’s driving me crazy. ‘

It wasn’t like that , so Arne tasted dying. Tell the truth like this ? But I hate it more than die. I was too embarrassed. It was more embarrassing than my mother’s chatter.

” I like it later , so if you are satisfied with that , please feel free to speak up at that time . Well , I’m free . “

Ugh . Arne’s conscience hurt when Cassian smiled. I thought that if I let the misunderstandings deepen like this , I couldn’t do anything to this man. Eventually , Arne , who was in conflict , decided.

” Wait ! “

Arne grabbed Cassian’s hem and closed her eyes tightly.

” Actually ……..”

A word I barely spit out.

“………. The first night. “

” The first night ? “

” I’m scared of the first night ,”

To be precise , I was afraid that the first night would be the night of the murder of my husband , but Arne had no intention of filling the omitted middle.

” I’m scared of the first night , so I’m trying to run away … “

After hearing Arne’s excuse , Cassian couldn’t figure out how to react to an unexpected answer. He didn’t even know what he was hearing right now . I was scared of the first night … … What did you do ? It was absurd. And it was funny.

‘ Only because of that … ? ‘

It was an unexpected reason. It was a reason I had never really expected. It’s a story of a bride running away from the window because she’s scared of the first night. In the meantime , her face turned red and Arne who was ashamed , was crazyly cute. When Cassian suddenly burst into laughter , Arne , who was bowing her head with her eyes closed in shame , quietly raised her head. She couldn’t understand why he was laughing , so she looked at it blankly , and Cassian who had laughed in a low voice for a long time , gently grasped Arne’s shoulder. And whisper in a voice sweeter than honey.

” If you don’t want to , I won’t lift a finger. “

“………. Yeah ? Really ? “

” Yeah . “

Can I do that ? Shouldn’t it be ? In surprise and confusion , Arne blinked her eyes. Even that was cute , and Cassian said quietly in a low voice.

” Of course , it’s our own secret. “

“…………”

A suggestion like the whisper of the devil. The blue eyes resembling the winter of Cassian shone darkly. Looking up at Cassian’s eyes innocently , Arne immediately thought that he had something different ….. I know that.

“Good. “
