Chapter 146
Thump-thump.
My heart was beating like crazy.
I guess that’s because I got caught unintentionally peeking at Perez’s bath scene.
Or-
Thump-.
Once again, my heart skipped a beat.
It was the moment I met Perez’s eyes that shone brightly.
It’s beautiful.
That’s all I could think of.
With wet hair swept back, deep eyes and nose blades shaded by moonlight.
Perez’s hot body temperature, which is delivered from the wet, pale, muscular body and nevertheless from the point of contact with my body.4
The long lashes over the pupils looking down at me.
And the worries about me contained in the dark brows that were frowned as if he was worried.
Holding on to Perez’s sturdy arms, I still couldn’t move, hoping that the tumultuous heartbeat would go away.
“…Tia?”
It was Perez who raised me.
His big wet hands grabbed my shoulders and straightened them up.
“Oh?…”
At that moment, a sense of loss that I had never felt before flooded in.
What the hell is this feeling?2
And even before I could find the reason, Perez approached, bending over to me.
His calloused hand wrapped around my cheek.
“I think you still have a fever.”
Yeah, I have a fever!
It may not be a fever caused by a cold, but my cheeks are a little hot.
Only then did I come to my senses and stepped back half a step.
“I’m sorry, Perez, I heard the sound of water, so I followed you, unintentionally. I apologize properly.”
I said, hiding my trembling voice as much as I could.
“…That’s fine.”
“No, of course, this is a public place, but I should have gone right back when I realized you were naked…”
When I looked at Perez’s body, I saw things that had not been seen before.
“What’s this all about? What about these wounds?”
Perez’s wide chest and back were full of small traces.
“Not a wound, a scar.”

“Yes, I mean, scars! Why so many?”
Most of them were small scars, but the ones on the left arm or the right side were quite big and deep.
It was like Perez’s body is a dark and terrible snake.
“How big of a wound was it if the scar remained like this?”
“It happens often in training.”
Perez said nonchalantly.
“Training? What kind of training are you doing so hard? Was there anyone bothering you at the academy? No, more than anything, isn’t training using a wooden sword or something?”
Perez smiled at me and replied.
“Dealing with a sword is a battle between the mind to kill and the instinct to live. You can’t develop without using a real sword, Tia.”1
“Oh?…”
Yes, it was. The sword is.
As he wasn’t wearing clothes, I could see more small scars on Perez’s hands and arms.
And I asked, pointing to a dark red cut on his back, which had been bothering me a little while ago.
“Just name the person who left this on your body. This must have been a different intention under the guise of training.”
“…I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know his name? I’m sure he used to go to the academy.”
“It was not a training wound.”

Only then did I remember.
‘Sometimes I’ve been attacked or something.’
That the Empress used to send someone to kill Perez.
“It’s impossible to ask the dead person for a name now.”
Perez is standing here now, which means that the assassin sent by the Empress is dead.
I looked up at Perez.
I keep getting confused.
Just because I intervened in young Perez’s life and created a better environment doesn’t make everything easier.
His life is still fierce.
As deep as the scar left here.
I put my hand over the bumpy left scars.
“It must have hurt a lot.”
The terrible day when he got this wound seemed to be painted before my eyes.
But when my hand touched his waist, there was a change.
Perez’s body twitched slightly, and his stomach was tense.
His perfectly sculpted muscles revealed a more angry appearance.1
Perez’s body temperature, which I felt at my fingertips, grew even hotter.
Zaap.
I could see a strong arm with a blue tendon sprouting as he clenched his fist.
I raised my head and looked up at Perez.
I encountered deep darkened eyes.
Something tense, drawn in it, was visible.
Quietly, but with great up and down Perez’s naked chest, I could feel the heat of suppressing and enduring.
Looking down at me, his long eyelids trembled once.
At that moment, I could realize the current situation by hearing the sounds of the surroundings that had been pushed away.
It was only then that I saw myself touching Perez’s body, barely wearing a cloak around his waist.(It’s like tia is trying to seduce Perez unknowingly)
“Huh!”
I said, quickly taking my hands off Perez’s body.
“I’ll go back to the carriage! I, I need a little more sleep!”(I hope Perez will pull Tia into his arms, like in tv drama, but not)1
Then, I hurried down the forest path where there was a rustling sound with every step.
Splash!
Behind me, I could hear Perez jumping back into the lake.6

We arrived safely at the Ivan estate.
Everyone was very tired and exhausted because the schedule moved so quickly, but the trip ended without any major problems.
