Before making a decision, his feet were already naturally headed in that direction. In the distance, he saw her soft brown hair dancing lightly in the air.
The corner of Asphayren’s mouth subtly rose. And he suddenly realized.
At the center of all the impulses he had felt recently was Shuria, whom he had saved and named and bound to his side.
Asphayren stood still.
Why? What was so special about her?
Confused, he felt he didn’t want to see her for now and was about to turn around.
Just then, he heard a grating noise.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Asphayren peeked into the perch.
“Something hard, something hard… Ah, why didn’t I bring a hammer?”
“…?”
Shuria was sitting in the corner, rummaging through a box of props, so engrossed that she didn’t notice someone had come.
What is she looking for? Asphayren opened his mouth to call her.
“What are you doing?”
“You scared me!”
Twisting her body, Shuria lost her balance and plopped on her rear.
While hesitating whether to leap over the fence, Shuria noticed Asphayren and her face beamed with a bright smile.
“My lord!”
Shuria joyfully ran up to the fence. Her sparkling golden eyes.
Looking into those gold eyes brimming with affection, Asphayren felt as if his tangled thoughts were becoming clear.
Shuria spoke in a voice as cheerful as raindrops bouncing around.
“I heard you were busy!”
“I finished early. Just stopped by on my way. What were you doing?”
“Ah.”
Shuria glanced back at the messy perch and awkwardly spoke.
“I was looking for something hard and heavy.”
“Why?”
“I want to crack this.”
Shuria extended something. It was a large walnut.
Fiddling with the walnut, Shuria grumbled.
“Well, are there things you just can’t break no matter what? I’m the type to usually crush walnuts with my bare hands, ten at a time, even a hundred.”
His tone sounded as if he could die of frustration.
A somewhat amused Asphayren extended his hand.
“Give it here.”
Though suspicious, Shuria silently handed over a walnut.
Asphayren picked up the walnut between his fingers and lightly applied force. The walnut cleanly split in two.
Hic, a sound as if Shuria was having difficulty breathing escaped her lips.
Asphayren emotionlessly placed the walnut kernel into Shuria’s hand.
“Eat it.”
“Your Highness…!”
Shuria’s eyes, which were already large and round, seemed impossibly larger. A visibly excited Shuria began to hop around.
“Amazing!”
“What is?”
“The walnut! You crushed this hard thing with your bare hands. How did you do it? Did you use aura? Or is it magic?”
“No need for that. Just a little force and it splits.”
“I couldn’t do it! I spent the whole day messing with it.”
Stomping her foot as if she were irritated, Shuria soon put the walnut kernel into her mouth, savoring it with a joyful face.
“Delicious! It’s worth all the effort. Would you like one?”
“You eat as much as you want.”
“Yes. I will obey.”
Asphayren crushed a few more walnuts for good measure. Meanwhile, the irritation and frustration he had been feeling moments ago seemed to have vanished like smoke.
As Shuria gratefully ate the walnuts, she babbled.
“If Your Highness wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have known this taste. Truly, our Lord is strong, considerate of his servants, kind, magnificent, and gentle…”
“What are you talking about.”
Asphayren’s face scrunched up at Shuria’s never-ending praise. Shuria looked up at Asphayren, halting her words.
Had it been before, she would have closed her mouth, knowing Asphayren would be displeased.
But having received special lectures from Kiara, she now understood. That wasn’t a face of displeasure; it was a face of embarrassment.
Feeling her gaze, Asphayren asked gruffly.
“What are you looking at?”
“Just…”
With a chuckle, Shuria playfully added,
“The Lord I serve is truly the world’s most handsome man!”
Having said her piece, Shuria flashed an innocent smile.
Just like a flower bud enduring a long winter to finally bloom, or the sun breaking through clouds after a lengthy snowfall, just like that.
For a moment, Asphayren’s heart sank.
“Your Highness?”
Shuria called out to him, her eyes wide.
Asphayren did not respond. Instead, he crushed the remaining walnuts all at once, sorted out the kernels, placed them into Shuria’s hand, and quickly turned his back.
He spoke brusquely.
“Quit the nonsense. I must go.”
“Uh, yes! Take care!”
Bowing, Shuria hurriedly caught the handful of kernels that were about to spill over.
Because of that, she missed it. She didn’t see that the tips of Asphayren’s ears were tinged a light pink.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
