5575-chapter-35

After diving into the water and searching the bottom, Nikolai resurfaced after a while.

In his hand, he held Katya’s pocket watch.

As he emerged on the bridge, he safely handed it over to her.

Drenched from head to toe, he peeled off the clinging wet clothes and squeezed out the moisture with a strong grip.

It was a scene filled with tension.

‘Where have I seen this before?’

It was that night they spent together at the inn.

Even back then, Nikolai had taken off his rain-soaked clothes and twisted them with both hands.

Having spent a long journey in the cramped quarters of the men, it was an action that came naturally without conscious thought.

As Katya gazed at his muscular arms, which seemed to be twice the size of her own thighs, she involuntarily swallowed her saliva.

She had felt it before, but his body was truly admirable, evoking admiration.

While admiring his sculpted physique, a certain phrase suddenly came to her mind.

?Do not touch each other’s bodies unless it is absolutely necessary. For example, when there is suspicion about being a contracted couple.?

Whose idiotic idea was it to come up with such a rule?

And who is it for?

Looking at that charming body, it seemed that she would be the one at a greater disadvantage.

Nikolai lifted his head as he felt her gaze.

Katya was so absorbed in her admiration that she didn’t even notice that he was looking in her direction.

“I think I mentioned it before–”

“…Yes?”

“If you want to touch, feel free to touch as much as you want. Whether it’s with your eyes or with your hands, it’s all the same.”

This line sounds familiar too?

It was only then that Katya finally lifted her gaze, and their eyes met.

In a hurry, she turned her head, covering her eyes with both hands.

“I didn’t see anything.”

“Why are you pretending like that? You have a claim ownership”

“Ownership?”

Katya spread her fingers subtly, as if cutting with scissors, and peered at Nikolai through the gap.

“Now this body belongs to you.”

“It’s mine?”

“A husband’s body belongs to his wife.”

“Are you claiming ownership over my body too?”

She lowered her hand, crossing her arms in an X shape to cover her body.

Nikolai chuckled softly at her words.

“If I claimed it, would you give it to me?”

“No! My body is mine.”

“I think the same way.”

“What’s this? Are you joking again?”

“I’m serious. My body and your body, they both belong to you. You have it all.”

He walked toward her side.

Unbeknownst to herself, Katya stepped back.

Why is this man acting so burdensome?

“Don’t avoid it. I won’t devour you.”

“What’s with that attitude?”

“What? Instead, you should catch and consume me.”

“Oh, I don’t need that! I won’t take it, won’t take it!”

“You won’t regret it? You used to like it when I touched you.”

“No, stop saying such serious things!”

Katya gasped and covered Nikolai’s mouth.

If Boris or the knights were to hear, they would definitely misunderstand.

Even though they were engaged, they were still technically unmarried, so enjoying touching a man’s body would surely earn her the label of a pervert.

Nikolai’s laughter beneath her hand tickled her palm.

Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Katya grabbed his hand and pulled it down.

“Can I ask you something I’m curious about?”

The Grand Duke asked gently, still holding her hand.

“Go ahead and ask since you were going to anyway.”

She grumbled with dissatisfaction.

“I heard that the trend of men folding up the bottoms of their pants originated from you, is that true?”

“I don’t know about the trend, but the rumors Grand Duke have heard are roughly correct.”

“Did you know what kind of story I heard?”

“That when I was younger, I used to step on the hem of boys’ pants and pull them down.”

Katya admitted to the misdeeds obediently.

Nikolai’s expression suddenly turned serious at her confession.

“You saw the men’s behinds?”

“Their underwear came off along with their pants, so I had no choice but to see.”

“You did that to men who were standing still?”

“They were trying to lift up the girls’ skirts, so I showed them the same by revealing their ass.”

She retorted, getting worked up.

Of course, she didn’t undress just anyone.

Those who dared to peek at girls’ underwear were the ones who received a swift kick to their behinds.

It was still a mischievous act, but she had her own sense of justice.

“So they were crying about how they only got to see our underwear, but why are we letting them see their asses?”

“And what did you say?”

Nikolai asked, suppressing his laughter.

“What do you think? That’s your problem. If you don’t want to show yours, don’t try to see others’. I said exactly that.”

“You have a way with words.”

“Even I, who couldn’t bear to see such a sight, suffered considerable damage. I don’t know who wanted to see their butts and lowered their pants. Anyway, after being caught a few times, they stopped doing such things.”

“You were the apostle of justice.”

As if falling for Katya once again, he played along with an ecstatic expression.

“It wasn’t that big of a sense of mission. Anyway, the title of the wicked woman in the south is quite convenient, isn’t it? Since no one dares to touch me.”

“So, that’s how the nickname came about.”

“When I appear, everyone gets scared and clears the way on both sides, and secretly, it feels good, you know?”

Katya said, brushing her nose with her index finger.

Adorable to death.

Nikolai thought so and chuckled softly.

When the gods created Katya, they must have poured all the cuteness in the world into her without a doubt.

“So, did your curiosity get satisfied? Even if you decide not to marry now, it’s fine.”

“Why would I give up on marriage? I’ve actually become even better. After all, a person needs a bit of mischief like me.”

“Hey, what if I had lowered your pants just to see your behind like a pervert?”

“Tia, I can hear you.”

“Did I say it out loud? I thought was it in my head?”

Katya was surprised that her inner thoughts came out before her brain could even control them.

Her small and adorable head, blinking her eyes, made Nikolai curious about what she was actually thinking.

If only he could see inside her mind.

“Even if you had done that, it wouldn’t have affected our marriage. However…”

“However?”

“If that’s your preference, I would have done my best as your husband to accommodate it.”

“How would you accommodate it?”

“I would have changed my nature to the one that shows you whenever and wherever you want, even if it’s outdoors.”

“You’re truly unmatched in devotion.”

Katya said, blushing.

I’m going to make my husband an exhibitionist.

It was truly an incomprehensible way of thinking that she couldn’t follow.

Then, Nikolai raised one eyebrow in displeasure.

“Why? You’ve already seen other men’s butts.”

“But I didn’t even want to see it?”

“Well, they probably wouldn’t have been impressive anyway. I take good care of myself, so it’s worth a look.”

“Excuse me?”

“Whether it was back then or now, you’ve seen the top plenty, but you still haven’t seen the bottom, right? Actually, I’m more confident about my lower body.”

Nikolai, as if he could undress at any moment, grabbed his belt buckle, and Katya swiftly threw a sword from the sheath, telling him to stop.

He caught the sword flying towards him with one hand, chuckling.

“Are you serious? I’m quite confident.”

“Ugh, forget it, will you? Your Highness, you’re really a pervert.”

“I’ll take that as a thank you for the compliment.”

“It’s not a compliment.”

“Everything that comes out of your mouth sounds sweet. Did you smear it with sugar?”

Nikolai gently held her chin and lightly brushed her plump, soft lips with his thumb as he spoke.

It was truly a perilous situation that couldn’t be resolved with words alone.

Seeing such provocative words flowing effortlessly from her, it was undeniable that she had been a persuasive saleswoman in her past life.

“Do you want a whole bundle of curses to stop?”

Katya regretted her words as soon as she said them, without even realizing it.

Even though Nikolai always let her win, he was undeniably the ruler of this country, and Katya was a commoner.

He stopped looking down at her and let go of her lips.

“Why don’t we stop at a teahouse on the way and get some tea?”

“Okay, okay. I won’t tease you anymore.”

“It’s literally tea. How long are you going to take this as a threat?”

Nikolai said with a hint of disappointment, having her misunderstood his date proposal as a threat.

“Well, I probably won’t have tea with the Grand Duke for the rest of my life.”

“Who will you have tea with?”

“That’s not the point right now.”

“If you have tea with another man–”

“Are you going to kill me?”

“Uh, the man.”

A terrifying response came out of his mouth.

As if he were a bloodthirsty duke.

“What is the crime?”

“The crime of having tea with my wife.”

“Why are there such hastily fabricated charges?”

“To desire the Duke’s wife alone is sufficient to be considered treason.”

Nikolai said, driven by jealousy towards a nonexistent man.

A glimpse of madness could be seen in the eyes of a potential obsessive man.

Katya thought he truly seemed insane as she looked at him.

This time, she truly kept her thoughts to herself.

“I thought you were really insane just now.”

“I didn’t say it out loud this time?”

“It’s written all over your forehead.”

“Huh?”

Terrified, Katya quickly covered her forehead.

It was an adorable sight, like a little chick flapping its wings.

Nikolai was on the verge of madness because his bride was too cute.

He lightly tapped Katya’s cheek with his index finger.

“That’s why I can’t show you to other men.”

“Right.”

“I hope all men in the world, except for me, go blind. They dare lay eyes on you.”

“You wouldn’t really do that, would you?”

“I’m considering it seriously.”

He was a man of a deranged combination, dirty in character and blind in love.

My husband is an unruly tyrant.

Katya, who knew she had a rough road ahead of her, sobbed inwardly.
