After returning to the castle, Jungkook did not even allow Lalisa to walk out of the bedroom, citing her injured ankle as the reason.
"In any case, you've done everything that you had to do. Rest until the festival is over."
"This sort of injury is nothing much, so why are you doing this?"
"It's nothing much?"
Jungkook raised an eyebrow and grabbed her forearm.
"Ah!"
When Lalisa screamed, the duke frowned like he knew this would happen.
"The wound that you've gotten at Tochern Castle hasn't healed, and you didn't even rest properly and you've gotten injured again."
Jungkook urged her resolutely like he wouldn't give in to her this time.
"If you don't want to force me to lock Madam up, don't get out of bed."
He sighed as he looked at Lalisa, who was looking at him with a dissatisfied expression.
When he got married, he thought that he'd have to worry about whether his wife was eating on time, but he'd never thought that he'd have to worry about whether she'd break a bone somewhere or get injured.
"We should keep our promise, to not create situations that'll make the other worried."
"...Alright."
Lalisa nodded even though dissatisfaction was written all over her face.
There's no helping it, since it was something that she'd said.
"Good."
Jungkook's expression finally relaxed after hearing her answer.
Then, he pulled the blanket over Lalisa, who was lying down, and began to pat her on the shoulder.
"What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and sleep."
"I can't sleep. And it's morning right now."
"There's no one that can't fall asleep after staying up the entire night."
"Then, you've stayed up the entire night. Why aren't you sleeping?"
Jungkook answered her question a beat late.
The reason was unknown.
"...I have something that I have to deal with right away."
Actually, it didn't matter if he settled them later.
It wouldn't be too late to punish Paul and his gang after the carnival had ended, and they've roughly identified the criminals that dared to secretly distribute the Devil's Nap.
Although there was something that remained on his mind, for the duke, it was a rare moment of relaxation.
But if he remained next to Lalisa, he felt like he'd disturb her sleep.
Jungkook cracked a mischievous joke at Lalisa, who seemed to be feeling regret for no reason in particular.
"Why, do you want to sleep with me?"
He was just teasing her, but it was relatively effective.
When Jungkook looked at his wife, whose face turned as red as a ripe apple, he was overcome with a strange feeling.
As he looked at the deep red flush creeping towards the back of her neck, he was reminded of the night they'd spent in the cave.
Whatever work he had on hand, let's just put it off.
