He talked outside and knocked on the door more than once, but no one answered or even showed up.
Now, he was more worried than he was impatient.
Kiert was a light sleeper.
He could wake up just by Jerome talking outside.
Jerome was scared of what might have really happened this time.
“Sorry, Your Majesty, I have to go in.”
Jerome put his whole heart into opening the door. The guards were nervous and followed them.
“Your Majesty?”
There was not a single ray of light in the room.
The candles that had been burning all night were not even lit, as if they had run out of orders.
Someone seemed to have set the mood of the room and not put oil, etc.
Jerome mumbled to himself and pulled the curtains back carefully.
A thin ray of light came in as if it were waiting.
“Ung…”
As the light hit the bed, there was a low moan.
It showed that someone, at least, was still alive.
When Jerome turned around, he was calm, but he was shocked by what he saw.
“What…”
“Jerome?”
They both closed their eyes while their minds were fuzzy.
After a while, they looked at their bodies and saw how they were entangled.
“…!”
“AHHHHH!”
There were only screams.
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty! What’s going on?!”
When Lissie screamed, guards and nobles rushed in and almost screamed together when they met at the door.
On the bed, the arms and legs of the emperor and empress were lovingly wrapped around each other.
It was a position that they can’t differentiate if what they’re seeing are people or a couple of fern.
And their pajamas were a mess, and the bedding was all tangled up.
Lissie pushed Kiert out of habit and tried to get away.
But before that happened, Kiert’s hand grabbed Lissie’s arm and waist and pressed it tightly.
“It’s okay.”
Lissie jumped again when she heard Kiert’s low voice above her head. But Kiert’s hand around his body was stronger and harder than she had thought.
“What’s going on?”
“I’m sorry… I was surprised…”
“Go out.”
Kiert held Lissie in his arms and told her to do something in a growling voice that sounded like a threat. People left as quickly as they came in.
“Hooh…”
When Kiert finally saw that Jerome had gone out, he let Lissie go and put his head on the pillow.
It was one of the best things he did while sleeping.
“Why did you start screaming?”
She was able to get out of the situation because of Kiert, but Lissie found it unfair.
Even if they’re not sleeping, he could’ve just said calmly that there are servants inside.
“You told me that you won’t touch me…”
“Is that really what happened?”
Kiert put his head down and pointed to where his body and bed were.
Lissie rolled her eyes once more.
Kiert was on the other half of the bed, on the other side.
Lissie had, in fact, taken over the person who had just been sleeping.
“Oh no…”
Lissie coughed and then turned around because she was embarrassed.
One round in bed, one round half lying down, one round on the ground, one round with eyes half closed, and they both fell asleep.
“Why did they come?”
“We need to greet the nobles. It’s after lunch.”
“…?”
Since this is the first time the Empress is there, Lissie also doesn’t know a lot.
Before she got married, she heard different explanations, but it was busy and crazy.
It wasn’t reasonable to try to remember all the information that was given to everyone at once.
“Couldn’t they just wait? Why are they barging in our room?”
“They greet to make the morning better.”
“What a bunch of weird nobles.”
“Just listen to me once.”
“Ah…”
When Kiert told Lysis what she needed to do, she knew right away what to do.
Being the Empress doesn’t give you all of the power in the world.
The more people you have on your side, the more people will hear you.
When choosing a maid for a noble, you have to think carefully about who wants to be liked.
The maid is an important person who will be by her side.
Lissie was scared and then she woke up.
This time, when Kiert rang the bell, Jerome knocked and asked for permission.
When he got a reply, Jerome and the nobles went inside.
“I’m happy that your holy marriage is now completed. Again, we’d like to welcome you as part of the Royal Family.”
She acted like nothing was wrong and acted like he wasn’t anything.
“Thank you.”
“Head.”
Kiert, who was sitting beside her, gave her a hint.
“You can look up now.”
Then the nobles looked like they were waiting by raising their heads.
They were actually curious about the empress’s face, which was shown quickly.
They thought it would be hard and ugly when she was a princess rolling on the battlefield.
“Huh?”
People took a deep breath when they saw Lissie’s face, though.
‘Cute?’
Not only were Kiert’s eyes strange, but so were other things about him.
Everyone thought that Lissie was cute.
“Then I’ll give you a bath in the morning. Go over there to that room.”
The women gathered around Lissie and put their hands out.
At that moment, Lissie turned around and looked back at Kiert.
Kiert looked back quickly to see if she was thinking the same thing.
‘If you let someone else wash your body, they will find out that nothing happened last night.
It’s hard to stop rumors from spreading, no matter how hard you try.’
“Let’s take a bath together,” he said.
This time, Kiert’s quickness was on display.
“Yes?! Your Majesty…”
“Get out.”
He seemed like the kind of person who couldn’t give anyone even a single second of Lissie.
