Things to Do During the Day Chapter 5

It was past noon when Ariel, who fell asleep as if she had fainted, opened her eyes.

“Ahh-haa…”

Ariel squirmed and made a strange noise. Her body felt strange. It felt as if her body was divided, then reassembled. The strange muscle pain she felt for the first time in her life made her question whether this was really her body.

“Uhhhh…….”

After squirming for a long time, Ariel looked around. It was an unfamiliar room. But Ariel felt comfortable here. The heavy and soft scent hovering around the room was definitely the scent of Arsion. Relieved, Ariel fell down on the pillow again.

“I thought I was going to die…….”

She remembered the situation she was in before she lost her mind. It was really the first time she had mixed with Arsion like that. As if Arsion wanted to put everything into her…….

“He wanted to pound into me……”

It was not a decent word, but there was really no other way to put it. She wondered if Arsion's testicles had hit and bruised her genitalia. When Ariel gently lowered her hand and fumbled beneath a little, she felt a tingling sensation and shivered.

'Come to think of it…….'

She was soaked in sweat before she lost her mind, but now, nothing was sticky. The changed clothes were soft, and the scent of cool herbs remained in her hair. Ariel, who was bringing the tip of her hair to her nose, smiled bashfully.

'Arsion washed me up.'

Then she heard the sounds of someone walking down the hallway. Soon, the door opened and Arsion came in. His hand held a tray full of covered dishes.

“Are you awake?”

Arsion, who put the tray down on the table, approached the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ariel with a little hesitation. Ariel deliberately said in response to Arsion's actions.

“I'm sick.”

“……I'm sorry.”

“I have a sore throat, a sore back.… and there…….”

“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.”

Arsion looked like he was about to bring his head towards the floor. Seeing Arsion like that, Ariel wondered what to do. It did hurt. Really. Yet……

'I didn't hate it.'

A friendly Arsion was good. But at the same time, she also liked the rough Arsion. Arsion was Arsion, no matter what he looked like. And the way he showed his possessive desire towards her…….

Ariel desperately pressed the corners of her mouth that kept wanting to go up. Then, a moan came out when she tried to get up. Arsion hurriedly brought a cup to Ariel's mouth. The cool water ran through her throat and spread deep into her chest.

“Ha…….”

“Cool, isn't it?”

Ariel nodded. Arsion put the cup down, and Ariel carefully got up. Then she approached the table and sat down.

Ariel's stomach growled as she smelled the savory scent. Arsion opened the lid of the plate with an expression that showed he knew what she wanted.

Ariel saw a hearty breakfast table. Freshly baked bread, crisply-cooked eggs, various kinds of cut ham and cheese. The plate next to it contained a salad full of fresh vegetables that she thought had just been ripped off. Plus milk and various kinds of fruit juice.

Gulp.

Her mouth was tingling with pooled saliva. Ariel stared and Arsion moved his hand, still holding her in his arms. He cut the freshly baked bread, spreaded butter, layered ham and cheese, and placed eggs at the end. The soft-boiled yolk burst and permeated through the ingredients in the bread.

Ariel smiled at Arsion's movements. It was how she always ate in the morning. She thought Arsion would definitely put it into her mouth, but he suddenly brought the bite he held near her mouth back.

“Sion?”

“Before you eat this…….”

Arsion lowered his face. Warm lips touched Ariel's lips. His tongue kept coming in. Ariel skillfully accepted it. After their tongues that had been entangled for a long time parted, Arsion said with a savage smile.

“I'll eat first.”

Ariel murmured as she shoved the sandwich the grinning Arsion had made into her mouth.

“You didn't reflect on yourself at all……?”

Fortunately Ariel was able to move freely the next day. It was thanks to Arsion rubbing all over her body all day.

However, Ariel moaned every time he pressed a sore spot, so Arsion could only sigh while he looked at his lower region, which had become harder than her tight muscles.

“This is the Oval Office.”

Arsion, who was introducing each area of the mansion, opened the door of his office. Then the vassals inside rose from their seats and greeted Ariel and Arsion.

They were courteous towards the marchioness they met for the first time. Back at the duke's estate, Duke Hastings, the father of Arsion, was the highest ranking adult along with the duchess who took charge of housekeeping. There, Ariel was a very small madam.

But here, she was the highest ranking adult with Arsion. Ariel, who realized who she married and what responsibility she would need to take on, felt her shoulders become heavy.

'I should have come earlier.'

When she saw the documents piled up on each of the vassals' desks, she remembered the scenes of this land's people whom she saw on her way there. Now, she and Arsion were responsible for them. All of the vassals in charge of this place were loyal and sincere, but the final decision would come from Arsion or her.

“There were a lot of monsters, but it took me a long time to check the documents here. That's why I'm late.”

Ariel nodded when Arsion explained why the schedule was lengthened. Obviously, that was far from enough for two weeks.

In addition, Arsion was not the type to deal with issues lightly. If there were any questions or inconsistencies, he would have looked at them again and again. Looking around, Ariel saw documents piled up on one desk.

“What about these?”

Ariel's gaze reached them, and one of the vassals, who was there, replied.

“These are documents related to the finances of the estate over the past decade. It takes a lot of time to check because there are a lot of numbers.….”

“Then I guess I can do it.”

“What?”

Ariel unwittingly waved her hands at the words.

“It's not easy. It's a huge amount, and we have to work really hard to calculate…….”

“Then we should examine it even more.”

At Ariel's words, the vassal looked at Arsion. It was good that the marchioness was motivated to do the work of the estate. But motivation wasn't the only thing in the world. Every one of them here were people who studied incessantly to do such complicated documents. It was impossible for the marchioness to see things that were difficult for them to see with only her will.

'What are you doing? Please stop her!'

The eyes of the vassals were shouting at Arsion. Arsion shrugged at that gaze, approached Ariel, and said,

“Thank you Ariel. Then, can I ask you a favor?”

They thought, 'Does the new marquis have no sense!' While the retainers were frustrated, Ariel sat in the chair in front of the desk.

“Let's get started.”

Six hours later.

“I think there was an error in the purchase section. I think there is a zero missing. Because this part was wrong, all the documents after this were bound to be wrong.”

Ariel showed part of the document in her hand and explained to Arsion and the vassals.

“Oh, my God, how did you find this?”

“The number of documents I saw for the first time seemed odd compared to the ones in my mind…….”

They opened their mouths wide at her words. She remembered the numbers she saw hours ago? Arsion, unlike the retainers, was not surprised.

'Someone's been doing this at the duchess's estate.'

It wasn't just because she was the fiancée of his son that Duke Hastings called Ariel every day. Ariel, who first followed her father there to play, found her own entertainment in an office full of adults. It was to find numbers that didn't add up. Perhaps it was because she had inherited the talent of her bright father, Ariel was strong at calculations.

As Ariel grew older, more of the duke and duchess' documents arrived in front of her. The dukedom had many times more paperwork than the marquisate. For Ariel, who went through the large piles of documents there without a problem, the documents here were only large in quantity and weren't too difficult.

“Riel, let's call it a day.”

“Huh? I think I can finish it in a little while?”

“You don't have to be in such a hurry, do you? We still have a lot of time.”

Arsion said, and the vassals nodded hastily.

“Yes, Madam! You'll have to stay a long time!”

“You haven't been to any of these sights yet, have you? Moreover, the crops here are rumored to be delicious. You have to try everything before you go!”

“It's not just crops. Dairy products from the newly created ranch are also good. There are many things delivered to the royal family!”

The vassals desperately persuaded Ariel, spitting out the advantages of this estate. At their words, Ariel glanced at Arsion. As the vassals suggested, she wanted to stay as long as possible.

'Is it the case with Arsion?'

Arsion replied to Ariel's gaze with a smile.

“Fortunately, it's not a big deal, so I think we can stay a little longer.”

Upon Arsion's answer, Ariel and the vassals expressed great joy. She thought it would be a very enjoyable time.
