Chapter 153
Even though Aesir knew he needed to prepare for the defense of his territory, his steps kept turning toward the human. While gathering his vassals for meetings and dispatching soldiers to the border regions, he kept leaving his seat in between, and his subordinates began to murmur.
It was understandable, since it was a side of the marquis they had never seen before.
“She still hasn’t woken up?”
At his question, the maid who had been waiting in the bedroom where Sia lay bowed her head and answered.
“No…”
“She hasn’t woken even once, and you’re still saying this is just because she’s weak?”
“…I, I’m sorry.”
Intimidated by Aesir’s sharp demeanor, the maid apologized in fear. He waved his hand dismissively and gave an order.
“Go bring the physician at once.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Ah, no. Go outside and bring a skilled doctor instead.”
“Yes, understood.”
Aesir, who had been about to call the usual physician out of habit, decided on another measure, thinking the answer would be the same anyway. After the maid left, he sat on the edge of the bed where Sia lay.
As he had recently taken to doing, he stroked her hair, letting his pheromones soak into each strand of her black hair. Now his scent on her was stronger than Duke Blois’s pheromones, and he was quite satisfied.
“Hm, just in case, it would be better to send someone to the temple as well.”
Only now did it occur to him that, since she was human, her physical changes might differ from those of werebeasts.
“I’ve been acting quite foolish.”
He found it amusing that he had failed to think quickly about something he normally would have handled more efficiently.
“…Impatience, of all things.”
He thought it was strange that he was already growing anxious about losing her when they hadn’t even properly spoken yet, but at the same time, it made sense.
“Well, I took her by force, so it’s only natural to feel uneasy.”
There was no guarantee that someone else wouldn’t kidnap the human again just as he had. By now, not only Pelles and the Lupensia Empire, but other nations as well would likely have learned of the human’s whereabouts.
“I’ll have to strengthen the defenses.”
He reached under the blanket and brought out Sia’s hand. Her small, soft hand had a pleasant texture that was almost addictive. Especially her soft nails, which made him want to put them in his mouth.
Click, click.
The faint sound of teeth touching nails echoed. After tasting all five nails on her left hand, he set it down with some reluctance. He wanted to inject her with pleasure fluid as soon as possible. Just imagining Sia clinging to him, her body heated and unable to control itself, was enough to arouse him.
“If only you’d wake up, I’d fill every hole evenly…”
The snake tribe, having two organs, naturally practiced a**l intercourse as well. She might feel resistance at first, but once a**l oil mixed with the snake tribe’s pleasure fluid was used and the fluid was injected directly, such concerns would no longer matter.
His lower abdomen felt as if it were simmering, and he bit gently on the fingers of her other hand to endure the urge. He did not want to do anything improper to someone who was ill, as that would be unbecoming of a gentleman.
As he restrained his desires, he heard that the doctor had arrived. He tucked Sia’s hand back under the blanket and let the doctor in. However, the diagnosis was no different from the physician’s.
With only one option left, he reluctantly left the room to write a letter to the temple.

Meanwhile, Cedric was handling the tasks Nox had assigned in his absence. Dennis, the Knight Commander, had infiltrated the Becker territory, and the vice commander had departed with troops toward Roso Village in the Kris territory as ordered by Nox, so there was no one else suitable for the work.
Unfortunately, it was the busy season for winter preparations, and documents that required immediate approval were piled high on the desk. As Cedric sat stamping them with Nox’s seal, the head maid hurried in.
“Head Butler.”
“What is it?”
“Something strange has happened.”
“If it isn’t urgent, it would be better to entrust it to someone else.”
“That is… Marie, who attended Madam, and several other maids are behaving strangely.”
“…Marie?”
At the mention of Marie, he could not ignore it. Since there was no one more suitable to attend the Madam, Cedric grew concerned. Only after carefully placing the seal he had been holding into its case did he lift his gaze steadily toward the head maid.
