Who would stop our Majesty, Delorte? Since there is no one to stop, wouldn’t it be better for someone to come into this palace to stop her?
Again, talking nonsense. It was clear that Simon Kaneberg, the Imperialé, had gone mad just like Her Majesty. Of course, the Imperialé following Her Majesty also seemed to have lost a screw in a strange way, just like their master.

The Imperialé, who is currently elegantly dressed in riding attire and participating in the event, was nothing more than a group of hounds following Hayden when seen without their disguises.

They showed absolute loyalty to Hayden, and behind his back, they carried out ruthless and cunning backstabbings against nobles, including the Alsmone Union and the Kaletta Empire. They were Hayden’s dogs.

“If you had mentioned marriage first, Your Majesty should have appeared by now.”

Matilda Delorte, one of Hayden’s most trusted knights, was a little anxious because she knew the nature of this event so well.

Princess Genesis, who had drawn lines several times, still seemed to be mentally distracted by something other than their lord. It was definitely not a good sign.

Quietly following Ru, she suddenly turned her head.

“Oh, she’s here.”

“She’s here.”

Even the relieved knights quietly began to step aside. The approaching giant figure soon revealed itself through the trees.

Hayden, without hesitation, slowly guided the horse towards the target. The noble figure handled the horse very gracefully, powerfully, and without any clutter. It was undoubtedly an emperor filled with purple blood from head to toe.

“Ru.”

Of course, the emperor melted like sugar in front of Princess Genesis. Seeing the emperor appearing with a twinkle in his eye, Ramos, who was riding Ru, took a step back unconsciously. Ru quickly calmed the startled Pegasus and sharply stared at Hayden.

“Yeah, it’s okay, Ramos. It’s okay. Don’t be scared.”

He came alone. There were no other princesses around. So, he could say anything he wanted.

“Why did you come?”

Even though they were alone, Ru’s voice was chilly as she addressed Hayden with respect. Hayden did not get any closer and dismounted from the horse.

“I came to look for you since you weren’t visible.”

“I’m receiving good security and I’m safe.”

When Ramos, looking dazed, checked Hayden’s reaction, Ru eventually stepped down from the horse and blocked the guy’s view, leaving only herself visible.

“It’s okay. Be good. I’m here. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Comforting the frightened Pegasus, Ru didn’t look at Hayden at all. She just faced the Pegasus, touching her face against its face. He didn’t like that at all.

“I thought you’d come with her.”

“That’s what Her Majesty thinks.”

“Don’t you want to be with me?”

“Yes. Your Majesty scared me with what she said, so I can’t be with you.”

Can’t be together. Already realizing the fact that Ramos, who is smart, gentle, and quick-witted, is holding her emperor, Ru, who was making comforting gestures to the pretty Pegasus mare, didn’t bother to look at Hayden at all. He didn’t like that at all.
“He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t lose his spirit even in front of Icarus,” Hayden said, well aware that saying so would lower his score even more in Ru’s eyes. He smirked, raising the corners of his eyes.

“No, it’s not like that. I was wrong,” Ru said, turning to him again after his voluntary surrender.

“Why scare an innocent horse with such foolish words?”

“It wasn’t intentional, and I didn’t even realize…”

“So why?”

Hayden, soaking himself in the direction of the horse he rode, looked at Ramos as if he didn’t like it.

“…Is he that handsome?”

While Ru, who had been consoling Ramos not to be afraid, opened her mouth wide. What did he say?

“I don’t even look at him, and I’m talking about a guy who rode twice when he came to and from Turington.”

Ru still couldn’t respond and just stared at him.

“I know. I know I’m acting strange too.”

Muttering, Hayden eventually turned away after complaining. Being jealous of a horse was petty and a miserable thing to do.

Ru always tried to present herself as mature and thoughtful, especially at formal events. She deliberately didn’t acknowledge it. But at least give a nod of acknowledgment. Hayden, who was uncomfortable and upset because of Ru, who was like a man in front of people, felt uneasy.

There were too many things prioritized over Hayden for Ru. Revenge, Carlos Ars Ingram, new power, family…

For her, he was everything.

“Come here.”

Ru, who had been quietly listening, called him.

“You said you were scared.”

“It’s okay now, so come here.”

Hayden didn’t move a muscle in response to her words. If she said come, he would come; if she said go, he would go. The only woman who could order the Persehta Emperor to come and go with just a flick of her finger approached Hayden, who had come close.

“What made you so upset?”

As he tried to step back again, Ru reached out and pulled him towards her. She approached closely, whispered in his ear, and asked, “Tell me what upset you. If you do, I’ll do the same to you.”
