Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 71.1

Hiss!

“Ma, Madam!”

“……!”

At that moment, the snake, which Nadia thought was dead, moved like a shot.

When it sensed the danger, Medusa’s snake was already lunging at her, flying through the air.

The fangs with venom were revealed through the wide open mouth.

The snake’s head, which was getting closer, felt as slow as in slow motion.

‘Darn it.’

It was inevitable.

As soon as Nadia took a reflexive defensive position to save her life, something strong snatched Nadia’s waist.

Her body faltered for an instant. She struggled, mistakenly thinking that the snake had wrapped around her waist.

It wasn’t until the chest armor of the sheet metal armor filled her field of view that Nadia realized that it was a human arm that wrapped around her waist.

Clang!

Right after the sound of pulling out the sword was the sound of something falling to the ground.

The scene which felt like a slow motion brought her back to reality.

“Ah….”

Nadia, who had blinked blankly, looked up. Her eyes met with the wide-open gold eyes.

“G-Glenn.”

“Are you okay?”

“Except that I was a little surprised… I think I’m fine.”

“Oh, you might have been a little bruised because I pulled you in a hurry.”

Glenn let go of the body he had grabbed and said. He was a little stiff because he suddenly snatched Nadia’s waist.

Nadia rubbed her waist and glanced behind. The snake’s head was rolling on the floor.

Glenn wrapped himself around her, and the other knight was the one who cut down the snake.

‘If I did something wrong… I may have died in vain here.’

Had she become too relaxed lately as everything had been going smoothly? Nadia gulped as she calmed her startled heart.

“Wow, it’s still moving.”

“Snake monsters are tough. I heard that there are always cases where the body is alive after death.”

“I’m sorry, Madam. I should have checked more carefully…”

“No, I’m fine. I approached it first. ”

This time, it was largely due to her carelessness.

Frightened, she instinctively glued herself to Glenn and suggested.

“It could be dangerous, so let’s move first.”

“As you wish. There may be more monsters still breathing, so it’s better to talk somewhere safe.”

“Of course.”

Glenn ordered the knights to confirm if there were any monsters alive, while they moved toward the camp.

Nadia, who had been glued to Glenn, looked up and asked.

“But are you not hurt?”

“It’s fine. It didn’t even touch me, but if it did, it wouldn’t have been a problem. A snake’s fangs can’t pierce the ironclad.”

“But it’s still a monster. I’m glad Medusa is a small monster, but it might have been dangerous if it was intermediate or higher level one. Next time, don’t block it with your body. You are the lord of Winterfell.”

“…….”

Nadia said it out of concern, but there was no answer back. Nadia belatedly realized her mistake.

“You may think that I’m nagging you for no reason because you saved me by risking yourself.”

The moment she tried to explain that she did not mean it, Glenn interrupted and continued first.

“But you may have been in danger.”

“What?”

“With the poison, I, a man, would be much better able to stand it.”

“Ah…”

It wasn’t wrong to argue.

Unlike Nadia, who was small in size even for a woman, Glenn was well above the average size of a decent adult male.

But… How many guys would throw themselves in for a fake wife?

Nadia opened her mouth slightly and admired Glenn’s bravery.

‘I think he received his knighthood.… Is this the spirit of chivalry?’

Nadia thought chivalry was a fake hypocrisy.

Lee Jiho, who abandoned his fiancee in front of his career, was the only knight she had been close to for a long time.

To explain that she did not mean to nag half-heartedly, Nadia opened up again.

“Glenn, that was a little cool of you just now.”

“What?”

“If I had been a little more immature, I might have just fallen for you.”

The last word was whispered in his ear so that no one could hear it.

Then, for an instant, his movements stiffen. Misunderstanding the reaction, she hastily added.

“Of course, it doesn’t mean I’m really in love, so relax.”

“…….”

Nevertheless, Glenn’s expression was still strange. Nadia once again had to explain sincerely.

“Oh, I was just saying that….What’s wrong with your face?”

“……It’s just your imagination.”

Nadia didn’t think it was her imagination.

“Hmm.”

Nadia looked at his expression suspiciously.

It was quite fun to observe the ever-changing expressions.

He seemed to have a sullen look like a squirrel who has lost an acorn, and after some time he exclaimed, “Ah,” as if he had a good idea that came up in his head.

Nadia did not miss a pale smile coming up around his mouth.

“Why are you laughing by yourself?”

“No, I had something to think about. It’s no big deal.”

“What are you thinking? If it’s about the estate matter, discuss it with me.”

“Ah, it’s about the operation of cavalry….”

Nadia didn’t realize it because she focused on the story Glenn brought up.

That he was talking about anything to distract her, while he was planning something in his head.
