“Wait for what?”
“You were supposed to talk to me casually. I’ve been waiting until now.”
Before leaving for the Door of Darkness, I asked Blake to wait a little longer because it was still awkward.
I didn’t think much of it back then. However, 7 years had already passed since I said that.
“Maybe later…”
But I said the same thing again that I said in the past.
A thousand years ago, I had been friends with Rakshul. However, after he was reincarnated, it was awkward to speak casually and that’s why I continued to use honorifics.
I think I became more polite because I was used to living as Rose.
“Should I dye my hair?”
Blade suddenly said.
“Dye your hair?”
“Yes. I had a strange dream a few days ago.”
“What did you see in it?”
“We were walking in the woods, and you spoke to me very casually. Like a friend.”
“……”
“But the strange thing is, my hair was black.”
Did he dream of his past life? I looked away in surprise. Blake continued to stare at me.
“If my hair turns black, will my wife talk to me comfortably?”
“…do you want me to speak casually?”
“Yes. I want to be friends with my wife.”
Blake took my hand and kissed it.
I looked into Blake's eyes.
When I saw him after he came out of the bathroom, I turned my head away for some reason. But now I didn't want to avoid him anymore.
“…Alright”
I touched his face as I replied.
My hand trailed down from his forehead, and I traced his cheeks, lips, chin, and neck, and chest as I went lower.
“…Blake, can I check?”
Suddenly, I wanted to check his body.
“Do you know what you're talking about?”
“I want to see if the curse really has been lifted.”
I wanted to see with my own eyes whether or not the Curse of the Goddess really had been lifted.
But Blake remained silent for a while.
“No…?”
“I'm no longer a child.”
He grabbed my hand that was on his chest.
“Did you miss me?”
“Yes, I missed you.”
I nodded without hesitation.
Blake let go of my hand and took off his bathrobe.
He cut a slender figure when he was clothed, but when he took off his clothes, his firm muscles harmonized with each other and made him look like an ancient statue.
But rather than the muscles, I noticed that the sentences of the curse had completely disappeared.
The curse really had been lifted. I already knew it, but it really hit me when I saw it in person.
I reached for Blake's body.
As soon as my hand touched his body, Blake pulled me closer by my waist and kissed me. I slid my arms around his neck and accepted the kiss.
Blake kissed me roughly and bit my lower lip.
I shuddered with surprise at the sudden stimulus, but he didn't stop and continued to kiss me on my chin and neck.
His lips gradually travelled lower, and the robe that was covering my body came untied.

“Ugh.”
I woke up with a groan. Why did my whole body feel so sore? Ah!
The moment I saw a handsome man lying next to me, I woke up and remembered what happened last night.
Oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh…!
It was my first experience.
I had never done it before, whether it was in Korea or a thousand years ago.
I’m so embarrassed…
How was I supposed to face Blake from now on?
What to do? What to do? What to do?!!
I couldn't think of anything because my face was heating up.
Let's get dressed first!
I looked down and saw a pure white chemise draped over my body.
When did I wear it? Did Blake put it on me?
“Wife, did you sleep well?”
“Ah!”
I shouted in surprise at the sudden sound.
“Why are you so surprised?”
Blake looked at me as he smiled innocently.
The beast-like man from last night had disappeared and turned back into an innocent rabbit.
‘Was it a dream?'
Yes, my husband was the cutest and most innocent. There was no such thing as a wild and beast-like husband.
But the soreness I felt was clear evidence that last night was real.
I pulled the blanket towards me and covered myself.
“You’re pulling it off as soon as you wake up?”
He looked up at me and blinked innocently with his big eyes.
“I pulled the blanket! Don't leave that word and make it sound so ambiguous!”
“But it's embarrassing if you pull it off like that.”
“……”
Putting my husband’s true nature aside, it was Blake who was supposed to cover himself with a blanket now.
“Go to sleep.”
I tried to cover him up again, but he pulled my hand.
“But I don't find it embarrassing if I hold your hand like this.”
He said and gently lowered his eyes as if he was embarrassed. His face was also flushed.
In the past, looking at my husband being shy I’d find him so cute that I would’ve hugged him right away.
But now, I still remembered what happened last night vividly.
“Ancia, tell me what you want.”
“Blake…”
“If you don't tell me, I won’t know.”
Just thinking about what happened at that time made my face burn up.
‘It was no use pretending to be naive now.'
I knew my husband's true nature.
The rabbit was actually a beast in disguise!
I thought I had married a rabbit, but he had tricked me. This was a fraudulent marriage!
I glared at him without saying anything, while he crept into his blanket and covered himself.
“I feel shy seeing my wife like that.”
“……”
That's why he knew everything! He pretended to be innocent, but I wouldn't be fooled anymore!
I stared at him, finding it ridiculous, as he took my hand and led me onto the bed.
When I lay down next to him again, Blake stared at me.
“Are you mad at me?”
He didn't do anything wrong. I was embarrassed by what happened last night, but honestly I liked it.
However, I was under the impression that my husband was an innocent rabbit, so I felt a small sense of betrayal. It felt as if he was not a mere fox, but a thousand year old gumiho instead.
“You fox.”
“Do you like foxes now? You want to raise a fox? Should I become a fox?”
“You're already a fox.”
“What does that mean?”
He opened his innocent eyes widely.
His expression was the same as when he was young.
I didn't know how he hid his true nature all this time.
But no matter how hard I thought about it, it was useless. He only revealed his true nature last night!
I knew now. He was not a rabbit!
“But what were you talking about before? You left me hanging last night.”
“……”
Last night…
“Blake, please…”
“Ancia.”
“D-do it!”
My face flushed when those words came out of Blake's mouth.
Yes, I did. I said that. But…!
“Th-th-that…!”
“Come here.”
He hugged me in embarrassment.
“Let's just stay like this.”
“We have to go back to the palace.”
“I’ll make it short.”
“…it's too late. Let's go.”
I still felt awkward speaking informally, but it was better than before.
“Let's stay just a little longer.”
But even though Blake said that, he wouldn't let me go.
“…it must’ve stopped raining.”
Bright sunlight filtered in through the closed curtains. I couldn't hear the sound of the rain anymore.
“That's right.”
“Shall we walk to the palace?”
“Your legs will hurt.”
“Then just to the square.”
If it didn't rain yesterday, we would’ve enjoyed the festival after watching the fireworks and looked around the stands and shops.
Of course, we had made other memories instead, but it still felt like a wasted opportunity.
“Let's do that.”
Blake kissed me on the cheek and said, “Would you like a candy apple?”
“No need.”
The candy apple which rolled to the floor back then came back to mind again.
“I'll feed you so that it doesn't fall down.”
I was about to say that I was not a child, but Blake rubbed my lips slowly. I felt strange.
“L-Let’s go.”
As I tried to get up to hide my red face, Blake hugged me tightly.
“But I don't want to leave.”
“Me neither.”
I relaxed in his arms.
As I felt Blake’s warm body temperature, my shyness gradually dissipated and my heart began to beat rapidly instead.
Blake really seemed to be my man, and I felt like I was his woman too.
