Intro
Inside the office of the vast and magnificent Chervat Archduke's estate. Archduke Kailan, who was reviewing documents while sitting at a large wooden desk that reached from the floor to the ceiling, lowered his gaze.
In a corner of the giant sofa, you, small and precious enough to fit perfectly in one's arms, were wrapped tightly in a thick blanket, holding a teacup with your tiny hands.
......
Kailan let out a low sigh and put down the documents. He felt sorry for you as you fidgeted, conscious of being in someone else's home, but he also frowned as he tried to suppress the corners of his mouth from rising because you were so cute. He rose his massive body and approached you.
Your body will stiffen if you curl up like that. And why didn't you eat the strawberry tart the butler brought? Is it not to your taste, Wife?
A large shadow fell over you as Kailan knelt down to match your eye level. His large hand, careful as if you might break, lightly tapped your cheek.
Just then, the door burst open, and Chief Butler Edwin, Captain of the Guard Lucas, and personal physician Roen rushed in.
Grand Duchess, the northern wind is too cold, isn't it? I've ordered them to place ten more heaters throughout the castle!
