“Your Majesty, for my birthday this year, I requested someone with looks, wealth, and power like Your Majesty as a gift.”
“…Did you.”
At that, Belion furrowed his brow. Seeing his reaction, Delina burst into laughter.
“By chance, it turned into a quest to find a groom. Actually, it was a way for me to deal with the excessive gifts you always give me.”
“…”
“Well, but you see, I already received someone like Your Majesty as a birthday gift, regardless.”
From the day she returned to the Grand Duchy in the past, the day she met Velion there, a new breeze blew into Delina’s life.
“The day I, at twelve years old, met Your Majesty, was the greatest birthday present for me. Just that alone is more than enough as a birthday gift from Your Majesty.”
Since her parents passed away, she had someone to trust and rely on. Just looking at his broad back made her feel good.
“I’ve wanted to say this someday… and that day is today.”
“…”
“Thank you for watching over me and taking care of me, Your Majesty. I’ll rely on you in the future as well.”
Delina smiled brightly. Watching her, Velion, who had been silently observing, spoke.
“I was inexperienced too. Everything was new to me.”
“…”
“I didn’t know how to comfort someone when they’re sad or how to share joy when they’re happy.”
“Speaking of which, it reminds me. Do you remember? I mistakenly activated a device and hurt my leg. I was crying in pain, and Your Majesty brought a cake and fed it to me without hesitation.”
While Delina was crying in pain, Velion continued to feed her cake. Tears were streaming down, yet the cake kept coming into her mouth. Eventually, Felic and Betty had to stop Velion, thinking Delina might need a break. However, the situation was so comical that Delina ended up laughing while crying.
“In retrospect, that was the biggest comfort Your Majesty could offer me. The cake was also my favorite.”
“…”
“I liked Your Majesty’s comfort like that.”
Even though he was clumsy and didn’t know much, Delina understood the feelings hidden within. Hearing Delina’s words, Velion’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Yes.”
“…”
“I’ll rely on you in the future too, Jester.”
“Yes.”
Delina nodded with a smile. However, the carriage, which had been gradually slowing down, finally came to a stop.
“What’s this?”
It couldn’t be called an accident, as the carriage stopped smoothly. Delina blinked her eyes.
“It seems like the carriage has stopped?”
Delina tried to look outside through the window, but suddenly, the carriage door opened, revealing Noah.
“Noah?”
“I’ve come to pick you up.”
“To pick me up… for what reason?”
“Yeah. From here on, I have somewhere else to go.”
Delina looked surprised at Noah’s appearance, but Velion remained indifferent. Finally, Delina alternately looked at the two and asked.
“Could it be… Your Majesty knew too?”
Velion nodded in affirmation. However, he still looked displeased, glaring at Noah.
“Send her off before midnight.”
“Understood.”
Noah extended his hand to Delina. Even while holding Noah’s hand, Delina’s face still held curiosity.
“So, where are we going?”
“If I tell you now, it won’t be fun. You’ll find out when you get there.”
“…Really?”

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
