I woke up feeling warm and soft warm. Jared found out he was alive.

In the cold air that seems to freeze to my soul, I wonder why I'm holding my life back.

Moving my hand to make sure I hadn't lost my limbs, not just my life - it conveyed a soft, warm feeling like someone's skin.

- Good, I have arms.

And, the moment I thought about it, Jared jumped momentum.

"Hey, what? What's it like now?

"Ja, Jared, please, hide your body... please"

Somehow I heard a familiar voice from inside the bed I was supposed to have slept in, and I had a bad feeling about it.

"... e, ernesta... Lily, why?

My voice trembles. No, it's not just the voice. Even my vision wobbled, and if I lost my mind, I was going to fall.

Inside the bed, two secretaries, only wearing underwear, blush their cheeks in embarrassment.

"Jared, I'll explain, you know - you're naked now... so, uh, it helps a lot if you hide it from me..."

Lily on her red cheek told her, and Jared panicked when she followed her gaze, realizing she was naked herself. When I take the silver tray where the water drain on my eyes is placed, I hide my groin for now.

It made me look terribly funny, but I can't expose myself to women naked.

The secretaries also hid the limbs that were dewy with sheets, still feverish on their cheeks.

"Duh, why, why... the two of you?

"I'll explain it right, so at least wear this... that's exactly what it's all about"

I was handed a larger towel and turned my back on them and wrapped it around my hips.

Doesn't make a difference, but at least it's better than pressing your groin with a silver tray.

And, having regained a little calm, Jared realizes his own body is moving firmly. Frostbite is the problem everywhere, but it is not serious.

Of course your body moves firmly to your fingertips. Then I thought of just before I lost consciousness in the back of my brain.

"What about the Duke?

"Your father will be fine. Thanks to Jared for not looking out for himself and protecting him, he was bruising, but he's fine. Thank you for protecting my father as my daughter."

"No, that's okay. The Duke helped me, too."

In the meantime, I was relieved to hear that the Duke was safe.

"What about the sorcerer I fought for? What the hell happened?

"I'll explain it in order. Upon receiving information that the soldiers had lost sight of your fathers, we immediately joined the search, but we were unable to find them. But at the same time that Ernesta noticed the bond, Jared, who was frozen with great cold air, and your father, who lost consciousness while being protected by the barrier - and we found the bodies of four people."

"Four...... you got away with one. No, you didn't run away."

Jared was defeated. Therefore, I could not say that the other person had escaped.

"We're currently identifying ourselves. At least they're not from the Duke of Rüdiger territory. In the worst case scenario, I'm supposed to identify myself later."

The worst case scenario is that the Raiders are probably part of the Royal Sorcery Division.

"... How long have I been asleep?

"I've been asleep all day. We left yesterday morning, and now it's the next evening."

"-"

I never thought that much time had passed.

"I can't help it. Jared wasn't just frostbite, he was freezing. I don't know if he was conscious or unconscious, but if he hadn't been protected by less magic, he probably wouldn't have lived by now."

I still remember vividly the feeling of my body being frozen by ice magic. I can't help but think it was something that helped me a lot.

"We had a lot of lacerations, but thanks to the doctors, we blocked everything. But there was only one problem."

"Problem?"

"Yeah. The wounds were blocked, and the frozen body was removed by the magicians, but Jared's temperature was too low, and in the worst case scenario, he was considered. So, you know, me and Ernesta are supposed to warm up with human skin."

That's why I understood you were in the same bed.

"Well, Jared, I don't know if Lily alone can warm you up, and I'm here to help you out because I can expect to recover by sending you magic."

"Thank you both for your help. And, uh, sorry. It made me feel bad."

"No, naturally as secretary. We're the ones who have a fiancée, and I'm sorry that we didn't do much of the treatment."

"As a matter of fact, I will return the favor I have been helped - what a thing to say, my father tried to warm up Master Jared completely naked. Besides, with my older brothers."

I lost my word.

Though a therapeutic act, I imagine the sight of being warmed naked by a strong samurai of good stature and their sons, and I am glad they were careless.

Nevertheless, I can think of that because, for one thing, I have not lost my life.

"My mothers told me to stop because then my heart would die even if my life saved me. Instead, we put up a big role. Of course, the room was warmer until dawn."

If you ask, Jared, who had frozen himself and been deprived of his temperature, was shaking because of the low temperature. Thanks to Ernesta and Lily, the heat was restored and the capacity stabilized in the middle of the night, and they kept the room warm and watching until dawn.

Even though the doctor decided not to worry, he stayed with me just in case.

"Looking at you now, Jared, you look fine already. I'm relieved."

"Thanks to both of you, thank you"

"Enough thanking you. Then I will report to your father. Let's eat after that. I want you to eat a lot because I have something nutritious for you."

When he nods, he tells him to turn his back and obey.

I hear two moving little noises behind my back, thoroughly unconscious.

"That's enough."

Looking back when they said it, I guess they had originally prepared it. The two wore simple bedtime clothes.

"I'll call you later, so I'd like you to lie down a little longer."

"Okay. I'll give you some rest."

Honestly, I'm a little reluctant to go back to the bed where they were. But suddenly he jumped up and even complained that his body still wanted to lie down.

Jared, who decides that the current situation will only get worse if he is forced to, enters the bed with great care.

"Well, I'll call you later - oh, yeah"

"What's up?

Lily, who was about to do the room, stopped her legs and looked back at this one. There's a prank on her face, and she gets up tight.

"How was the touch of our bodies before the dowry?

To her remarks, her coworker leans bright red and Jared struggles to respond.

Because when I woke up, I was trying not to think about where they were reaching.

"Pfft, I'm kidding. Of course, I won't tell Olivier, so next time, do me a favor."

"The secretary says he will hold his weakness..."

With depressing Jared in his lust, Lily and I laugh out loud and shy. Ernesta asks this one, too.

"Well, I'd like to ask you a favor, too, if you need anything."

I don't want to laugh anymore because I say so.

"I get it. You got it."

In reply to the throw, you were satisfied or Lily left you saying "take your time," and Ernesta raised her head and left the room behind.

Jared, left behind, keeps his consciousness as far away from his sense of smell as possible, wrapped in the smell of them remaining in the bed.

I shouldn't have done anything nasty, but I thought of my fiancée in King's Capital - I remembered something backwards after a while.

While I'm doing this, the sleeper slowly approaches me. Jared closed his eyes and fell asleep in an attempt to recover some of his still incomplete flesh.

- No matter, I was stuck in a nightmare.
