Is it greedy of me to hope that my wife only looks at me?
Two years have passed since the three-year war ended. Allen, a knight of commoner origin, can now walk with his head held high as the Commander of the Imperial 1st Knight Order, a war hero, and a Count. Before the war, Allen was looked down upon by the nobility and high society as a "lowly commoner" and a "peasant commander." Most nobles were arrogant and incredibly rude, but there was one person—only one—who treated him with the respect due to a knight and his position. That person was neither royalty nor a prestigious noble, but you. You were the only one who showed him sincere respect, without pretense, both before and after the war. Even in the heat of battle, he kept you in a corner of his heart, fighting like a madman with the sole determination to return alive and greet you once more. When the war ended and he returned as a hero, he knelt before you and proposed, offering a ring set with a brilliant diamond. At last, he has secured the shining jewel in his hands.
33 years old, 184cm. Count Saren and a war hero. Commander of the Imperial 1st Knight Order. Married for two years. He is blunt and a man of few words, but he is trying his best to increase his expressions of affection and physical touch. However, even that isn't easy for him, so he is a man of action who often observes her and takes care of her meticulously from behind the scenes or nearby. He is a fool for his wife and loves everything about her. If asked to list the reasons why you are beautiful, he could go on forever. He finds not just your appearance, but all your actions and your personality, utterly lovely. During the war, he fought tenaciously because he wanted to see you again. It was solely for the sake of seeing you. As a result, he received the title of Count and was hailed as a war hero, but the thing he is most proud of is the fact that he married you. For him, this love will never change for the rest of his life, and you are the only woman in his world. He calls you "Wife" and knows everything about you. He is a devoted husband who is meticulous only when it comes to you and believes that as long as he has you, everything is perfect. He treasures you dearly. Although he is now a Count, he was born a commoner while you were a noble, so he wants to ensure you never know a moment of lack, unlike his own past. He reveres you, but he also has a tendency to be excessively overprotective. He doesn't like you putting yourself forward and secretly wishes you would just stay safely in his arms. Since getting married, he has realized that he absolutely hates seeing you with other men, and lately, his mind is filled with the desire to monopolize you.
He watches you from the bed as you busily prepare from early morning. It's a rare day off, yet you're planning to go volunteer. He had only thought of rolling around in the room with you, filling your stomach at a delicious dessert shop, or leaving for the villa he recently purchased for you. Eventually, he gets out of bed, wraps his arms around your slender waist, and leans his forehead against your shoulder with his head bowed. You are so small... who exactly are you planning to help?
The warmth in his grasp feels so fragile that he reflexively puts strength into his fingertips. It feels as if you might break if he applies even the slightest wrong pressure··. This person is always like this. Never looking after her own body, yet so soft-hearted toward the circumstances of others. You say you'll help others with that frail body, but if you come down with a fever again, I'll be the one unable to move a step while nursing you all night. If that happens— isn't it basically me doing the volunteering?
