[IFITAOAMV] Chapter 9

“I can’t turn a blind eye to my bride’s consideration. Now, feed me, too. Ahh-”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment when he opened his mouth wide.

I didn’t want to do this.

But it was already too late.

“I can’t pick up the food in this position…”

“I can hand it to you.”

I was trying to avoid this situation somehow, but I failed immediately.

He not only put the food on a plate himself but also put a fork in my hand.

“Uh, what should I feed you first?”

“It doesn’t matter, I will eat everything my bride gives me.”

Even if you say it like that, if it doesn’t suit your taste, you may try to kill me.

I quickly shook my head.

“I want to know what kind of food you like. So, tell me in advance what you don’t like.”

Fortunately, Edwin nodded his head obediently.

When I picked up some of the salad with the fork and held it near Edwin’s mouth, he snatched my hand and guided the fork into his mouth.

The fork trembled slightly in my hand, Edwin, who saw this grinned.

He tapped my nose. I peeked at him and wondered if he was offended.

“You’re acting so cute.”

My body stiffened immediately at the sudden touch, but Edwin’s mood didn’t appear to be bad, so I calmly relaxed.

The food on the plate gradually decreased, and then quickly emptied a second plate.

‘You must have been very hungry.’

I’m happy that he ate well, but my arm was starting to hurt.

As I lowered the fork to pick up more food, Edwin gently grabbed my hand.

“I’m full now. Do you want me to get a stomachache?”

No. Absolutely not.

Edwin’s smile deepened when I quickly shook my head.

“Since we’re done eating, let’s wash up and change our clothes.”

“Wait…. Are you going to the bathroom with me?”

Edwin chuckled when I panicked and tried to push him away with both hands.

“Hmm, I never thought my bride would want something like that.”

No, never! Absolutely not!

As I shook my head harder, he laughed even louder.

“I’m holding back. What should I do when you’re acting so cute?”

My mouth went dry as he trailed a finger down my cheek.

Why are you talking nonsense?

I wanted to sew my mouth shut. I wish I had never said anything about the bathroom.

‘Hold it in. Keep restraining yourself. You can endure it. You can stand it.’

I silently chanted the words over and over again, hoping that it would somehow influence Edwin.

“I don’t think I could ever get bored of looking at you. How can you have so many different facial expressions?”

What expressions?

As I awkwardly touched my face, Edwin shook his shoulders and laughed.

“I’m sorry, but not yet. You could get hurt,” he whispered.

My body stiffened for a moment at the heated breath brushing against my ear.

‘Why would I get hurt in the bathroom?’

Staring at the bathroom door, my eyes widened as I remembered all the things that could happen in the bathroom, such as water torture.

When I shrank in fear, Edwin covered his mouth, muttering about how he was going to die of laughter.

At the same time, he gently stroked my back with his hand.

“I’m going to change my clothes. I’ll be right back.”

He sat me down immediately, gave Jenny some instructions, and left the room.

“Whoa.”

I slumped down in a chair and rested my head on the table.

I felt exhausted from all the things I dealt with in the morning.

“Madam, I’ll make the preparations so you can wash your face.”

I didn’t have the energy to speak, so I only nodded. After a while, Jenny brought a bowl of warm water and washed my face.

Then we headed to the dressing room.

“I bought everything in a hurry yesterday, so there may be some clothes that don’t fit you properly, but I’ll fix it right away.”

When did you have time to prepare these clothes?

I thought he was only crazy about blood, but he was surprisingly attentive.

There were several large wardrobes in the dressing room. Jenny went to the first one and opened it.

The closet was stuffed full of a variety of clothes.

‘You prepared all of this overnight?’

If you bought everything in a hurry, I thought you meant three or four items. What is this?

Jenny, who was putting this and that on me while I was spacing out, finally decided on a pink casual outfit.

“Fortunately, I only need to fix the sleeves.”

After meticulously checking if the outfit needed any additional tailoring, Jenny entrusted the repair to another maid.

“I’ll do your hair and makeup while the clothes are being mended.”

I sat down in front of the dressing table and calmly accepted Jenny’s help.

‘What should I do next?’

It was extremely shocking and unbelievable that I had died then possessed a character in a novel, but I couldn’t afford to grieve or deny the situation.

From the moment I fell into the arms of a psychotic murderer, it was as if I had a blade pressed to my throat.

‘First, let’s increase the probability of survival. To do that, I need to reduce the number of death flags.’

Currently, the biggest death flag is the imperial family.

I need Edwin to survive the imperial family.

The problem is, he will eventually be killed by the Crown Prince.

The only reason why he died despite having powerful physical abilities and strength beyond ordinary people was because of Sephiroth’s sword.

According to the original story, Sephiroth, which was crafted from dragon scales, when wielded, there was nothing in this world that it couldn’t cut.

In addition, it also possessed divine power that could neutralize opponents according to the will of the swordsman.

That’s why Edwin was killed by Sephiroth.

‘I must find the sword before the Crown Prince.’

The moment it falls into the Crown Prince’s hands, Edwin wouldn’t be the only one to die.

I would be killed as well.
