I’ve Probably Made a Mistake in Getting Married

ively, he began the surest treatment he could do to someone who lost their breath from drowning.
He tilted her head gently and lifted her chin up.
Subsequently, he sealed his mouth over hers, pinched her nose, and blew steadily.
Throughout the whole process, he did not forget to press her chest with regular beats.

He did the same thing over and over again,

“(Cough)!”

Water spewed out of Nadia’s mouth and her breathing returned to normal.
Perhaps because of the harsh coughs, slight blush seemed to have returned to her overly pale complexion.

“You’re-, you’re back…”

Cain, who was pretty much on edge, lost all strength in his legs and crumpled on the spot.
Fortunately, Blan was in good spirits.

“Doctor… I will bring a doctor!”

“Hurry!”

Altair urged Blan and lifted Nadia up.
Seeing Nadia, who had barely regained her breath but was still droopy, his heart throbbed with anxiety.
Her body temperature was too low at his touch.

When he was young, at the time he lost his parents in a fire accident, his heart also raced like this.

…ridiculous.
This is different from back then.

First, he needed to raise her body temperature.

Having decided what to do, Altair’s steps began to quicken.

❈❈❈

Uh…it’s hot… 

As soon as she regain a little consciousness, she could feel the heat.

Before she went unconscious, she must have been shivering from the cold.
But it was so hot at the moment that she was sweating profusely.
Yet, it was even stranger that her body was still shaking.

She instinctively kicked the blanket off her body to escape from the heat.
Actually, more like she tried to kick it.

“No.
The doctor said you need to warm up your body.”

If it hadn’t been for the tight grips on the blanket with the resolute voice, she definitely would have done that.

Who is it?

It was a familiar voice, but she could not think properly because she was overheated.

It’s hot… 

Why couldn’t she remove the blanket? Was it a new kind of torture? If that’s the case, it was really bad.

She wasn’t sure whether the other person noticed her murmur under her breath or it was just the right timing, but the firm voice continued.

“You may feel hot, but your body temperature is actually low right now.
You are being illusional.
So stay calm.”

When she was this hot? She couldn’t believe it was an illusion.

No, even if that’s true, she thought she was going to die from the heat this instant, so why did that matter? She wanted to protest, but only the sound of moan came out of her mouth.

“It’s quite serious.
You would have to take the medicine to raise your body temperature once you are conscious…”

Something cool touched her forehead along the muttering.

Trapped in the blanket, the coolness was like sweet rain in the middle of a desert to her.
At that, she slightly rubbed her face against the energy source and desperately clung to it.
Then the object could be felt flinching and it moved away from her.

She was sad that the coolness had disappeared, so she unwittingly let out a whimper.
At the same time, a groan, suffering from a different feeling, was heard above her head.

“Haah…I’m going crazy.”

After that, the surroundings went quiet for a while.
She was still moaning, and her body continued to tremble.

“Well, I can’t wait any longer.
The doctor said if you don’t regain consciousness after an hour, I would have to force you to take medicine, so don’t get me wrong.
Okay?”

A strangely clear voice continued through her faint consciousness.

“…You are not even conscious anyway, so once you wake up, you won’t even remember what I’m saying.”

A cool touch was felt on her lips along with a grunt that had no meaning to it.
It was unfamiliar, but the soft touch was not that bad.

However, as if to ridicule that thought, an oddly bitter liquid ran down her throat, making her want to spit it out.
But it was hard to resist as something was blocking her lips and she was forced to down it.

She did not know what kind of liquid it was, but as soon as she swallowed it, her body drooped and the tremors subsided, and it all became hazy again.
As her consciousness faded, the cool touch on her lips also withdrew.

❈❈❈

Altair made sure that Nadia’s chest was comfortable and slipped out of the bedroom.
The bitter taste of the medicine still remained in his mouth.

In the hallway, Blan and Cain were kneeling with their hands raised above their heads.
It was quite an insult to punish an adult, much more a knight, with the method that would usually be given to a child.

It would have been more comfortable if Altair had beaten them up in the guise of training.
But there was no way Altair would allow the two of them to have the burdens lifted off their hearts just like that.

Of course, Altair also knew that the two did not have any bad intentions.
They wouldn’t have known that something like this would happen either.

How foolish I must have been for letting these guys do something like this!

He punished the two of them, but in fact, he felt like punishing himself.

“My Lord.”

As Altair was looking at Blan and Cain with mixed feelings, Pavel approached from the end of the hallway with an urgent voice.

“An unpleasant guest has arrived.”

Perhaps thinking of Nadia, who was sick in the bedroom, his voice was as small as a whisper.

“Guest?”

“It is the one person who was expected to come.
Balhail has come.”

The day had arrived.

Not only Altair, but also the two knights who were kneeling in punishment with sullen faces  were triggered at that name.

“Humph.
Since there was no news from the assassin he sent, I guess he has come to check the situation himself.”

Recalling Balhail’s annoying face, Altair said sarcastically.
He glanced at the bedroom door for a moment, then nodded at Pavel.

“Let’s go.
Let’s see what the heck he has to say.”
