er, Yuria looked at him as she couldn’t understand.
It was hard to understand whatever he said.

“In a day or two, he will open his eyes.” The dangerous situation had been overcome.
However, he must have consumed a lot of stamina to cope with the rushing energy, so he will sleep like a dead person for a while to recover.

“…There is one thing I want to ask you.” With great relief at the man’s information, Yuria carefully opened her mouth.
At first, she couldn’t understand the situation properly because she was only concerned about Fren.
All she could see was Fren, who had lost consciousness and collapsed, and there was an unknown man in front of him.
As a result, naturally, she could only assume it was he who had made Fren that way.
However, when her reasoning returned to some extent and she thought about the situation calmly, something was strange.

The man was showing deep affection and kindness toward her, and he did not show any particular hostility toward Fren.
Thus, she concluded such a person would not have attacked or tried to harm Fren.
Still, the child wouldn’t have gotten mad for no reason, that was for sure.

‘What the hell happened between the two of them?’

The man looked at Yuria quietly as if waiting for her to ask him anything.

“I want to know what happened to Fren and why.”

The man knew exactly what she wanted to know from Yuria’s demand.
He quietly opened his mouth.

“I just came to see you again.
But then, the newborn suddenly rushed at me.” Even as a man, he could not understand the reason for Fren’s actions.
Obviously, he thought he had kindly explained the situation in his own way, conveying he had no intention to harm or threaten Yuria.

“Fren rushed for no reason?” As if she couldn’t believe it, Yuria frowned and asked.

‘I don’t think the man is lying though…’

“What is certain is that the newborn rushed at me first, and it’s a fact that he himself forcibly raised his energy and collapsed.”

As if he had done nothing wrong, the man made a confident expression.

“…Alright.”

The man’s words alone could not determine the exact situation, so Yuria decided to check again after Fren woke up.
It was too early to judge by listening to only one person.
And whatever happened between the two, it was true that the man had helped them.
And it didn’t seem like he had hurt Fren, as there were no visible wounds.

“And… I apologize for my rudeness at the beginning.”

About recklessly insisting that he was the one who made Fren that way when actually, she knew nothing about the situation.

“You have never been rude to me.” So there was no reason to receive her apology.

“Thank you for your understanding.” Yuria thanked him again with sincerity.
Seeing that, the man looked at her blankly, as if possessed.

‘How can her every action be so lovely and pretty?’ For some reason, he was worried that leaving her in this small and rough place would cause something terrible to happen.
Or, someone else might try to take her away in the blink of an eye.
So he wanted to take her to the demon’s castle as soon as possible.

He really wanted to cherish her and let her enjoy all the good things.
And probably… he might have to take that little boy as well.
If that little boy was Yuria’s precious being, he would never leave him alone.

‘Come to think of it, I forgot an important fact.’ The man recalled his purpose in coming to meet her and slowly opened his mouth.

“Would you go to my castle with me?”

“Pardon?”

‘What is that all of a sudden?’ Yuria opened her eyes and looked at the man.

“A small, shabby house like this doesn’t suit you.”

The house, close to a hut, seemed too narrow and uncomfortable.
Yuria’s face frowned slightly at the man’s invitation.
Her expression showed dissatisfaction with something.

“This is a house I built with my own hands.
It is a cozy and comfortable place for me.”

So, although it may seem insufficient to the man’s eyes, it was a precious space for Yuria.

“…”

At Yuria’s words, the man looked at her quietly.

‘With that tiny body, you built your own house.’ Thinking about how difficult and painful it must have been for those fragile and precious hands, his heart ached strangely.
At the same time, the man admitted his mistake.
How can a house made through the hard work of such a cute and lovely woman be called small and shabby? Even if the house in front of him was worse than an abandoned house, there was nothing more valuable as Yuria’s hand had touched it.

“Sorry.”

‘It must be the most precious home for you.’ But even so, he had no intention of leaving her in this house.
Regardless of how precious it was, he wished she had a more comfortable and easy life.

Yuria wore a strange look at the man’s apology.
There was nothing more incompatible than an apology from a man with such an arrogant aura.
Aside from the dissonant atmosphere that surrounded him, his apology itself felt unfamiliar as it was not a word that was brought up in hope of an apology.
Yet, his attitude didn’t feel bad.
Aside from that small issue, she realized how favorable and considerate he was to her.
However… his words were not acceptable.
This was her home and was where she should be.

Moreover, she wasn’t so unaware as to willingly follow some unknown man.
Then, something suddenly occurred to Yuria.
