Elena, wearing a white flowing dress and her hair tied up, walked confidently to Klaus’ room.
Today’s outfit concept was a nurse, and in Elena’s hands was a bottle of water and a magic wet towel borrowed from the infirmary.
Considering the various circumstances, it was already an established fact that Klaus was sick.
‘Isn’t it so painful that you can’t even move?’
As I thought about Klaus, whom I had not seen in person for two weeks, I became more and more worried.
From now on, I have to take good care of her so that she will be moved to tears.
Elena, determined to provide proper nursing care, proudly opened Klaus’ door.
“Klaus!”
“Don’t come in…Elena.”
Klaus, who was sitting at his desk doing his work, frowned and raised his head, but soon saw Elena’s face and smiled brightly.
No, why is a sick man laughing like that?
Elena desperately tried to calm the corners of her mouth that were about to rise due to the handsome man’s smile, and quickly headed into Klaus’ room.
“Klaus. I heard you’re sick.”
“I?”
yes. you.
Elena was sure.
Klaus is sick.
Klaus had a calm expression, but Elena could see him drying up in his eyes.
There were dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion was much paler than before.
At first glance, it didn’t seem like a big difference, but Elena could clearly see that she was thinner.
It was embarrassing to see that he had become noticeably gaunt compared to two weeks ago.
No, who dried my husband’s face like that?
‘But he’s handsome even if he’s skinny.’
Elena, suppressing her desire for the sickly handsome man, approached Klaus with great strides.
“I heard. You’re barely even eating.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just… a little busy.”
“lie.”
Elena raised one hand and frowned.
Klaus is a little busy? Klaus was always very busy!
Even though he was busy recovering from the war, Klaus never missed a meal.
If I didn’t have enough time to eat, I would change my food and drink while I worked.
You have to eat to maintain your stamina. That’s what Klaus said.
There was no way Klaus couldn’t eat because he was a little busy.
“Why are you lying?”
“Does my face look bad?”
“I lost some weight.”
“Still, you’re handsome.”
“That’s right.”
Without knowing it, Elena agreed and hastily adjusted her expression.
I couldn’t fall for Klaus like this every time.
Especially now that Klaus is sick.
“Come here.”
“I said it’s okay.”
“If you keep doing this, it will overwhelm you.”
Only then did Klaus obediently approach Elena as he raised his fierce eyes.
I was concerned that Klaus’ body as he approached the sofa seemed thinner than before.
“Stay still.”
He reached out and touched Klaus’ forehead. As Klaus blinked his eyes, he felt the muscles under his eyebrows twitch.
“I don’t have a fever…”
Elena, who was alternately touching her forehead and Klaus’s forehead, pursed her lips.
“Why do you look like you don’t have a fever?”
“Well, I brought this to give to your Majesty, but I couldn’t use it.”
Elena held up a magic wet towel that felt cold.
Klaus chuckled.
“Give it to me now.”
“Why are you giving it to me when I don’t have a fever? It’s okay.”
“I’ll turn up the heat with magic.”
“I didn’t bring you here to say such crazy things.”
Elena glared at Klaus.
Klaus laughed out loud at the pouty look on his face.
“It’s really okay. Thank you for your concern.”
As he said that, the look in Klaus’ eyes facing Elena was somewhat profound.
The red eyes beneath the long black eyelashes were deeper than usual, and it seemed like they might accidentally fall out.
… … Are you saying that this timing is beautiful? why? No matter where I look, it doesn’t seem like the facial expression a patient would make.
Why does Klaus look at me pitifully and pitifully? Elena, confused, carefully opened her mouth.
“Are you really in pain?”
Elena became a little confused. She was worried too.
“Or is there something you can’t tell me?”
When I lowered my voice and asked, Klaus smiled brightly and asked back.
“How could something like that exist?”
“…….”
“I’m fine, Elena.”
“For that matter, you are very different from usual.”
“I told you it was okay.”
“No, if it was really okay, I would have pretended to collapse by now!”
“……Did I do that?”
“yes.”
Elena nodded.
In the eyes of Elena, who was tired of Klaus’ pranks, Klaus passing up the timing of his prank was extremely awkward.
If Elena knew Klaus, he would have answered something like, “Elena, do your ears hurt?” instead of, “I told you it’s okay.”
But Klaus so calmly says it’s okay.
“It’s not okay!”
“I said it’s okay.”
“Are you not okay?”
As Elena spoke without giving up, Klaus looked at her blankly.
Ah, there’s something dangerous about those eyes.
I tried to avoid the familiar yet eerie feeling, but Klaus was much faster than Elena.
“Prove to me if it’s okay or not?”
“Ah, I think you’re okay… wow!”
Elena, who was flinching back, was wrapped around a strong arm around her waist.
Klaus’ deep gaze suddenly took on a seductive color and was touching light blue eyes.
“Klaus, really…”
Before I could even finish speaking, I felt Klaus’ scent at the tip of my nose.
It was a warm and heavy masculine scent.
Elena shivered involuntarily at the soft touch that touched her lips.
The tip of my tongue lightly touched my lips, and the sweet scent overlapped.
Elena closed her eyes tightly, remembering what would happen while the warm breath passed.
At that moment, Klaus’ hand holding Elena tightened.
“……hmm?”
Elena, who was thinking about diving into bed, which would naturally follow, was greeted by a feeling of distant heat.
While Elena blinked in embarrassment, Klaus lightly cleared his throat.
“That’s enough for today.”
“Yes? Why?”
“Go in, Elena.”
Saying that, Klaus pushed Elena’s back.
Elena, who was pushed out the door, blinked in embarrassment and muttered.
“As expected, there is something.”
Klaus doesn’t go to bed.
Either the Earth will end tomorrow or Klaus will get sick.
Klaus thought of Elena who came to visit him.
They said I was pregnant. He looked a little more bloated than the last time I saw him.
Elena couldn’t even eat properly, and seeing her body swell, it was clear that Elena was definitely going to be in pain.
Klaus sighed deeply, remembering the cute expression on his face when he was worried about gaining weight recently.
“You should have paid more attention back then.”
I just laughed it off because I liked seeing Elena gain weight, but I had no idea that it was a sign of pregnancy.
If I had known sooner, I would have taken the utmost care.
“……Maybe that’s why you don’t talk about it.”
Suddenly a thought crossed Klaus’ head.
Elena showed several times that she was quite uncomfortable with Klaus caring about her.
She was probably thinking about what would happen if Klaus became overprotective if she revealed her pregnancy again this time.
If Elena appeared like this, it would have been polite for Klaus to pretend not to know either.
“All you have to do is take good care of it.”
In any case, Klaus had several ways to find out Elena’s true intentions.
Klaus decided not to tell Elena that he was pregnant and that he was suffering from morning sickness.
If Elena didn’t know that fact like she does now, she would be able to deal with him more comfortably.
Since she is a person whose inner thoughts are clearly visible, you can tell just by looking at her what she is struggling with and what she is having trouble with.
After making that decision, Klaus nodded heavily.
“I need to do better.”
Didn’t he almost make a pregnant woman lie down on the bed again today?
Through Elena, Klaus realized once again that his patience could be so short.
When I look at her, my desire boils over, and all things like reason fly away and disappear.
However, unless Elena was single, she couldn’t put her desires first.
If I’m not careful, Elena could really be in pain.
“……I can bear it.”
Klaus muttered lowly and clenched his fists.
The tips of his short nails dug into his palms and they trembled, but Klaus only tightened his teeth and did not loosen his fists.
It seemed like his patience test would take a bit longer.
