C99
His firm, battlefield-tanned skin gleamed in the morning sun.
He thought he had gotten used to it last night, but apparently not enough to see him openly in the sunlight.
The moment Bianca, who couldn't bear to see it, turned her head, Zachary lifted Bianca's body in an instant.
Zachary carefully lowered Bianca into the tub. The warmth of the water that touched Bianca's toes spread throughout her body. The bathwater that had been sprinkled with rose oil had a faint scent of roses, and roses floated around it. The scent of roses permeated the tip of her nose, and the warm sensation that spread across her skin relaxed Bianca's body.
Zachary sat up in bed and watched as Bianca washed. Bianca clumsily splashed water on her body and looked at Zachary. The black eyes that looked at Bianca were too rigid. As if there was something she wanted….
Bianca couldn't take it anymore and asked.
"Would you like to take a bath with me?"
It was only after saying that that Bianca was horrified. Washing together sounded very unscrupulous. But instead of lowering her head, Bianca raised the tip of her chin proudly.
“I can make such a suggestion. We now… are really a couple.”
Did he notice the inner feelings of Bianca, who seemed restless even though she pretended to be calm on the outside?
Zachary responded with a smile.
"If I do that, I don't think you'll be able to attend the banquet tonight."
Bianca shivered involuntarily at the intense weight of those words.
Zachary picked up the clothes that had been lying on the floor. Every time he moved to put on his clothes, his muscles twitched.
At that moment, she remembered his jerky movements on top of her. Bianca's face flushed and she wiped her wet hands over her face.
Zachary, fully clothed, walked over to Bianca and lightly lifted the tip of her chin with his hand.
His hair was disheveled and the knots on his chest were loosely tied. Instead of the asceticism and modesty that she always felt, she had a strangely wild charm.
As Bianca stared at Zachary, Zachary's face grew closer. And he whispered softly kissing Bianca's moist cheeks.
-See you later. I'll come pick you up.
As soon as Zachary left the room, the tension surrounding Bianca's body was instantly released. Bianca sighed deeply as she leaned back in the tub. Her appearance was far from the satisfaction of a new bride.
It wasn't long before Yvonne entered. Yvonne's face was full of curiosity. Usually, romantic love stories aroused people's curiosity. Yvonne's mouth twitched because she had so many questions to ask.
But she couldn't ask at the expression on Bianca's face that seemed full of thoughts.
Bianca was understandably confused. After all, it was their first night together after nine years of marriage. Yvonne kept her mouth shut and waited for Bianca to take a bath without asking anything.
Bianca was not at all unhappy. On the contrary, Bianca was supremely happy now. A sweet and passionate love story with her beloved. Also, the person she loves is none other than her man.
However, he was afraid that the gap of despair that would fall in the future would be as big as the size of his current happiness.
Last night, the distance between them was reduced in an instant. But his mind kept spinning in the distance.
It would be better if she knew what Zachary was thinking. But Bianca didn't have the courage to ask Zachary about her feelings. She knew he had to be brave here, but she couldn't.
Until now, she had been prematurely convinced that Zachary liked her and feared she would be betrayed, but now she feared that she might not like him. It was ironic.
Just a blink of an eye was enough time to think that what he wanted was not possible.
Bianca's heart was pounding.
Now, every word she says and every gesture she makes will bring her joy and sadness… Dissatisfied with the current relationship, she longs for Zachary's love, when she goes to war, she will be fed up with loneliness, and if her gaze turns elsewhere , will burn with jealousy.
It was devastating to think how helpless she was when possessed by Fernand. Maybe she does the same thing over and over again. Humans don't change easily. And even though you know you will repeat it, you can't help it. Even if you fight to change, you will realize that you are the way you are and you will despair.
Fortunately, Zachary was a responsible man. As he promised, he will only have her. The tranquility of that fact was enormous.
But that relief is simply the result of Bianca closing her eyes and ignoring the future ahead of her.
The decisive reason why he has no choice but to despair. It is nothing more and nothing less than Zachary's death...
Just thinking about it made her heart ache and her breath hitch.
Yes. This wasn't the time to worry about Zachary's sincerity or his own jealousy. Bianca shook her head.
You can't let him die. You have to save him. Whether Zachary loves Bianca or not, Bianca loves him.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Bianca's mind.
“Maybe this is the reason why I came back.”
After returning, Bianca never wondered why she had come back. She just thought that God had mercy on her and gave her a chance….
But why Bianca? Maybe there's a reason it has to be her?
After his return, the biggest change was with Zachary. Compared to the past, where they never exchanged words properly, the reality had changed so much that it was shocking.
"I am back…. to save Zachary…”
It was Bianca's guess, but it was plausible. There were still many things that were not clear to her, but one thing was clear… the reason why Bianca was the one she came back to was because she had to save Zachary.
But Bianca didn't know how to do anything. She could choose a dress, or decorate the castle, but… How does she save Zachary with this?
Bianca, whose head was messed up, dove into the water until her shoulders were covered. A rose floating on the water brushed her cheek. Bianca blew a small bubble. She wanted to let her frustration out of her, making air bubbles.
Still, there must be a way.
Her relationship with Zachary changed and the misunderstanding with her father was also resolved. So Zachary's death could be prevented.
Holding back tears, Bianca's eyes shone with the determination to change the future.
