He also had a talent of eating seductively, if it was even talent in the first place.
She quickly bowed her head and glanced down, avoiding his gaze.
Darkness had fallen outside the barracks.
It would be hard to return to the castle tonight.
Archduke Kyar would never let her go just because she wanted to leave, and looking at his condition, she thought it would be better to stay with him a little longer.

She wrote a letter informing the Rubella Castle that Archduke Kyar was safe, and she handed it over to the messenger.
“Please send this message as soon as possible.”
She couldn’t bring young Kyle to such a dangerous place yet, and she promised to deliver the news on his behalf.
She thought about Kyle, who was worried about Archduke Kyar and whether or not he was injured.
Isabella suppressed a sigh.
However, she didn’t want to include Archduke Kyar’s lovesickness in the letter.
She was perturbed about his condition earlier, but now, she was glad it wasn’t severe.

His words poked at her conscience, and a sigh of resignation came out of her mouth.
“Okay, I’ll stay here. Do you want that?”
A satisfied smile spread across his lips at her reluctant answer.
He gestured at his bed as if suggesting that she lie down next to him.
She simply ignored it, dragged a chair, and sat next to the bed.
“Go to sleep. I’ll be by your side.”
Duke Kyar’s strong arms reached for her, carried her swiftly, and laid her down on the bed.
“What are you doing?”
