Is this man too naive? I need to let him know that there are countless ‘better women than Lou’ for him to meet. Yes, I must. He may be formidable in power but clearly naive in romantic relationships.
Lou was about to continue when Hayden hesitated and spoke.
“Marrying my first love was a dream.”
Imperial Lega’s royal mausoleum door was wide open in the distance. Lou was grateful for the black veil that covered her face. First love?
“Of course, I haven’t given up on that dream even now.”
He must be grinning slightly. Despite knowing this, she couldn’t bear to look at her flushed face. Hayden’s voice was too serious to brush off his words as nonsensical. The emotion contained in the young Emperor’s voice was too weighty to be dismissed as childish talk.
And then they passed the royal mausoleum’s gate. The royal mausoleum was a colossal structure built of white marble. A giant round dome was placed at the center, and around this dome, the building spread out in all directions, where specially selected individuals were laid to rest.
Those who were normally part of the royal lineage could not sleep here, but children who had been abducted and returned as corpses were specially laid to rest here. They lay next to Carlos Arthur Ingram, the Emperor at the time, and their grandfather, Xenon the First.
Standing in front of Xenon the First’s coffin, who last entered this mausoleum 430 years ago, were two sages. Ophelia, with her platinum blonde hair coiled up, and the Dragonlord, with his honey-colored blonde hair, clearly looked like beings far from human.
The scene of them facing each other and speaking in low voices did not look ordinary at all. Hayden joining them would have been the icing on the cake, but to Rue, she felt she would look like nothing more than a maid or kitchen utensil.
“Ah, Lady Gennes.”
Ophelia turned her way and smiled broadly. With her ice-blue eyes wrinkling as she smiled, she reached out both hands. Rue grasped her hands instinctively.
“I’m so delighted to see you again.”
The most graceful person Rue had ever seen hugged her tightly. The subtle scent of the gold musk that came with Ophelia was pleasant.
“Have you been waiting? Are you feeling well?”
“Yes.”
“Good. The pearl suits you very well. Your complexion looks good too. Nice.”
After caressing Rue’s face once, Ophelia turned her gaze towards the Dragonlord. Naturally, Rue’s eyes followed hers. Unexpectedly, the Dragonlord was looking at Rue with a slight smile.
“You’ve found her quickly, Your Majesty.”
Hayden took another step forward, grinning.
“Lady, this is the Dragonlord. Although it seems like he’s only sleeping in the East, he’s working hard to protect the Empire.”
The Dragonlord extended his gloved hand with a smile. He didn’t look like an elderly man, but appeared to be in his late thirties, like Ophelia.
“You may call me Melpheus, Lady Gennes.”
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you for the first time.”
It appeared the person to introduce was indeed the Dragonlord.
Rue cocked her head as she looked at Dragonlord Melpheus, who seemed impeccably crafted, unlike Hayden.
It was too overwhelming an existence for a mere Countess to encounter.
