I only blinked my eyes at the overly ordinary remark.
And having nothing to say to me, youve become very insidious.
I couldnt read the inside of the grave tone.
If I could see her soul, if only I could see Euseniels soul, I would know what she was thinking.
A cold sweat began to break out from my body, which had completely changed and had no physiological function.
The Deuce, I heard you told them to do it at the imperial palace this time. Father told me. His Majesty offered a separate palace, so all children of his age should gather there.
Ah.
An exclamation of relief sprang out of me. I glanced at Euseniel, but I didnt see anything special on her calm face.
Is that on purpose? To invite me to the imperial palace.
You understand. Euseniel wont come to see me, so I have no choice but to meet you this way.
I hugged her waist and pressed her body closely. Euseniel tried to pull her legs together, but I was quicker to intervene.
Or, can I go to Hardland? To meet Euseniel?
As I rubbed the insides of her thighs, the blush came back to her white face. The change in Euseniel, caused by me, is thrilling whenever I see it. My mouth dries up at it.
No.
You say no, so I have no choice but to use this shallow trick.
As I buried my nose in her pale neck, her tiny hands came up on my body.
Ugh.
Unable to control my hand gently caressing the nape of her neck, I bit Euseniel and she let out a moan. I was nervous for a moment to see if the bruises that she had told me not to leave on her body would come back, but I did not stop tickling her neck.
The arm that embraced Euseniel naturally became stronger.
When its the weekend, I will continue to come to the imperial palace for a while.
Come to think of it, today was the day Euseniel had a sparring match with Bonarts son.
Are you not seeing him anymore? Huh?
Ethyl doesnt like me, so stop being vigilant.
It cant be. Bonarts eldest son likes Euseniel.
Perhaps she had read my thoughts, Euseniel spoke sternly.
Ethyl likes Aurin.
Have I seen Euseniel and Bonarts son alone lately?
I heard Aurin has been coming to the imperial palace even on weekends. Ethyl is busy chasing Aurin, so sparring with him will be difficult for the time being.
Ill have to check it out myself.
Could it be that he lied to keep Euseniel off guard? He might be using Marquis Xuen, fearing that Euseniel would feel burdened and avoid him.
No, more than that..
Euseniel, who looked at me, looked very unconcerned and calm.
Did she know that Bonarts eldest liked her? I was curious, but couldnt ask.
You can spar with me, Tess.
huh?
You said you wanted to see me. Thats why, whenever I come to the library, you shouldnt come running like crazy.
Euseniel, who pushed me slightly, let out a light sigh.
From now on, leave me alone when Im studying, and see me only when were sparring.
How long are you going to meet that guy?
I know that Euseniel will sigh when I bring up this story. Still, I moved my mouth.
That guy?
That damn scholar.
I am nervous because I know what kind of feelings that scholar has for Euseniel. Especially because of the story I heard the other day.
I know she did it because she hates attention. If she gets entangled with me, shell definitely be talked about as the next Empress, so she was pretending not to know me.
Still, I couldnt help feeling like a nail had been driven into my chest.
I was so saddened by her words that the weather in the capital suddenly deteriorated.
What if I dont?
What did you just say?
Nothing.
Really?
If Euseniel had heard that and that man said it again, what would have happened to me?
Hes just the research director.
I was worried even when she stated the facts.
Because she is a light that attracts people wherever she is. But even though I am in the highest position, I am the darkness that no one wants.
Euseniel.
It was like that when I was the Crown Prince, but even now, when I became the Emperor, people only want my outer shell. There is no one who truly loves me.
What are you worried about? Do you think he might like me?
And Im afraid that you will like him too.
Well There is also that about Ethyl, so I cant be sure. Peoples minds can change.
You knew, too, that Ethyl Bonart liked you. I feel a little reassured.
But isnt it my heart that matters? I am not interested in him.
Hmm.
Ah, there is a human curiosity. Hes pretty fun to be with.
Euseniel shut her mouth at my increasingly distorted face. After thinking for a while, she touched my hair like a habit. My mood softened a little.
But if you ask me if I see him as the opposite sex, its not. Never. In the first place, the person who is my taste is in front of me, ah.
Suddenly stopping, Euseniel turned her head to the side. Her ear lobe is slightly red.
Even if Im your taste, you wont come with me to the end.
You have a lot of precious things, and a lot of work to do, so Im taking the second priority.
I cant see you unless I make you come here.
I could feel the tingling emotions, the simmering mana moving wildly.
Euseniel, unaware of my situation, said flatly.
Anyway, I have no feelings for him. I can even swear it wont happen. So dont worry.
I was about to say no, but I nodded when her hand straightened my bangs.
So, is it confirmed that I will see Euseniel every weekend?
If theres nothing really urgent.
Ah, somehow, Euseniel came with a gift. The simple fact alone raises the corner of my mouth.
Euseniel.
Its late today, so lets start next week. Understand?
