“Greetings, Lord Hwang Tae-son.”
Ashud stood before them. Delina naturally lowered her head. Noah, watching them, raised the corners of his mouth and muttered, “This is something I have to concede.”
Noah stepped back, and Delina looked at Ashud standing in front of her.
Beneath the shining golden hair, his blue eyes sparkled, focused solely on Delina. Due to his sudden growth, Delina now had to lift her head to meet his gaze. Ashud, who had extended his hand, spoke.
“What are you doing? Grab my hand quickly.”
While speaking straightforwardly, his outstretched hand patiently waited for Delina. Soon, the dance began. Delina also took Ashud’s hand and started moving her feet.
“When did you arrive?”
“Just before the dance started.”
“Oh, so I didn’t see you. I was dancing with Noah the whole time.”
As Delina mentioned Noah, Ashud seemed to recall Noah, and he furrowed his brow.
“Even after a long time, that guy is consistently unlucky.”
“You’re consistently expressionless, too. Smile a bit, at least. It’s the coming-of-age ceremony.”
As Delina and Ashud danced, memories of their debutante ball came to mind. Back then, Ashud had made quite a few young ladies cry, and now, for different reasons, he was still causing them to shed tears.
“Hey, do you think people like you just because you have a striking appearance? I heard that women nationwide are heartbroken due to Lord Hwang Tae-son’s looks.”
“Where did you hear that?”
“Where? I don’t know. There were articles praising Lord Hwang Tae-son’s appearance in the newspapers for a while. Rumor even has it that the brightness of his looks is blinding, and instead of lamps, they use Lord Hwang Tae-son’s portrait…”
“Stop, stop!”
As Ashud cut off the conversation, seemingly unable to endure hearing more, Delina looked at the blushing Ashud with raised eyebrows. In fact, setting aside external factors, Ashud had grown diligently.
‘Ironically, he’s said to be more than worthy of becoming the next emperor to revive the empire.’
Ashud had worked hard enough to earn such recognition. His status had risen significantly due to activities within the palace and occasional visits outside to survey the state of the empire’s citizens. Thanks to this, Ashud’s prestige had increased, and everyone agreed that he was fully qualified to ascend to the emperor’s position.
However, an awkward situation still existed.
Ashud and Emperor Hyerha still maintained a certain distance, despite appearing together officially. Privately, they didn’t even engage in conversation, and Delina was well aware of this. The only reason the situation wasn’t apparent to the public was that Grace occasionally mediated between the two.
“Why, even I find you quite handsome.”
“…!”
Ashud’s foot momentarily lost its balance and staggered. Delina’s arm wrapped around his waist to support him.
“Why? Is something wrong?”
“…”.
Delina asked in surprise about Ashud’s rare mistake, but the one who seemed even more surprised was Ashud. Eventually, Ashud, realizing that Delina’s arm was wrapped around him, trembled slightly.
“What’s wrong? Even Lord Hwang Tae-son can make mistakes.”
“It’s noisy. It’s because you were saying weird things.”
Ashud’s ears, seemingly aware of his mistake, turned even redder due to Delina’s comment. Soon, Ashud whispered.
“…Do I look that way to you too?”
“What?”
“Do I look cool to you?”
“Well, objectively speaking, isn’t it?”
“No, not objectively.”
“Subjectively? Um…”
Delina hesitated as if considering whether to speak or not.
“Should I think about it? It seems like I need to think about it for a while.”
“…”
In response to Delina’s seemingly playful smile, Ashud’s eyebrows raised. At that moment, the music increased in volume as if rushing toward the end, and simultaneously, Ashud’s hand grabbed Delina’s waist.
“!”
Delina’s body, suspended in the air, spun around once before landing on the floor. It was a flawless move without a hint of a mistake. It captivated the attention of those around them who were dancing, both young women and men, to the extent that they momentarily forgot about the dance.
Delina, looking at Ashud, who effortlessly lifted her incredibly light body, briefly observed him with surprised eyes before smiling.
“Have you been working out your strength during my absence?”
“I was strong to begin with.”
“Well, did you say that? Back during the debutante ball…”
“…I’ll just lift you into the air.”
“Sorry, Lord Hwang Tae-son.”
The music slowly diminished. In sync with that, Delina casually greeted and whispered to Ashud.
“Honestly, that just now looked cool subjectively.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
In response to Ashud’s casual reply, Delina smiled, and seeing her smile, Ashud chuckled silently. That’s how the coming-of-age ceremony dance concluded.
“My Lord!”
As soon as the dance ended, Delina headed towards where Velion was. Since there was no one around, she could easily spot him. Velion met Delina’s eyes.
“Did you see me dancing?”
“Yes.”
“I practiced a lot. Was it okay?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
