Both the person who hit and the person who was hit screamed. Since the one who hit made a louder sound, Hayden quickly grabbed Loo’s hand.

“If you hit so hard, what do you expect, it hurts. Look. It’s red.”

“Did you wear armor or something? You hit me so seriously, and it really hurts.”

The one who complained about the pain to the one who was hurt was calmed down as the hand was cooled.

“Armor. You’d know if you experienced it every night.”

“You’re blaming me even though you hit me?”

“No. I was wrong.”

Hayden quickly lowered his tail and patted Loo’s hand, which had slightly swollen. Loo knew that if she just left it alone, it would quickly settle down. The hand wasn’t important to her.

“Answer quickly. If you get a headache, promise me you won’t endure it.”

“You won’t tell me anyway.”

“You’ll notice and intervene.”

Still not wanting to answer, Hayden, who had wrapped Loo’s hand in magic, pulled her close, but someone knocked on the outer door.

“Come in.”

Although Loo glanced at Hayden as if to say, “Well, come in,” he pretended not to know. Pretending not to know and moving further away, he hugged Loo more firmly.

“Your Majesty, Lady.”

Whether the two of them were in a compromising position or not, Sinyangjang announced politely after preparing herself.

“The Viscount and Viscountess of Flach are here to see the lady.”

Loo immediately separated from Hayden and got up from her seat, straightening her clothes. Was there anywhere disheveled? She should ask Sinyangjang to check.

“Go, Your Majesty. Quickly.”

As soon as Sinyangjang came in, her tone changed.

“Oh, are you throwing me away like this?”

Although Hayden was planning to squint at her for making nonsense, he smiled again at Loo’s hand that enveloped his face.

Loo gave a light peck on his lips with lips that drew curves, lightly responded to his tongue that rushed in hurriedly, and then quickly withdrew her lips.

A displeased groaning sound followed, but it couldn’t be helped. She gave a comforting touch to his smooth cheek and moved away from him.

“I love you.”

Turning back for a moment instead of walking away, she smiled softly. Then, she swirled around once in front of Lady Freya and headed for the door.

“I’ll get ready for a moment. Is my hand okay?”

“It’s perfectly fine.”

Hayden watched Loo close her eyes for a moment under Lady Freya’s touch.

Long eyelashes descended like a waterfall, then rose again, fluttering and bending. The delicate skeletal structure wrapped in the blouse he had crumpled, the firm and healthy body, and the leisurely and affectionate smile exchanged with Lady Freya.

Everything was so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

“Done? Thank you. I’ll be back, Your Majesty!”

“Come back safely.”
The person who shook hands with Loo as she left the room placed his hand on his face. Ah, it felt so good. The sweet taste lingering on the tip of the tongue still dominated every nerve. Sinyangjang left the emperor, deeply in love, alone in the room and quietly closed the door.

Sinyangjang, with a heavy mouth, never speaks casually about what she sees and hears. She only becomes honest in front of those she serves.

Sinyangjang meticulously confirmed that the reception room, where Loo had run to, was filled with strong and hot coffee for the viscount and refreshing fruit juice for the viscountess and the lady. In the meantime, Loo was deeply embraced in her parents’ arms.

“Let’s see. How’s your face?”

Milene held her daughter’s cheek and looked at it closely.

“Always bright, huh. Are you eating well?”

Edan patted Loo’s back while asking. He wanted to keep her at home except for Carlos, but unfortunately, Carlos unexpectedly appeared at the last reception, turning Perseta upside down. So, for safety, there was no choice but to leave her at the palace again, and her father felt upset.

“Yes, we’re doing well. How about you two?”

Although it had been a long day and they came to check, it was still disappointing. Between asking about their well-being, health, whether they were eating well, and if there were any discomfort or inconvenience, a maid came in, set up the refreshments, and left.

“But how did you two come together? You’re busy. It’s fine.”

Loo laughed heartily. Competent parents were people it was too difficult to meet all at once. They knew very well how much they struggled to make time for their children.

“Well… that is.”

What should I say about this? Knowing well that Milene was not ignorant of the fact that Loo was not just a child in her arms, she chose her words carefully.

What should I say when my mother, who warned me not to meet the emperor openly, comes to ask if I want to be the empress in this situation? Milene was very embarrassed.

“Do you want to be the empress?”

Pphh. Loo made a strange noise and quickly put down the juice, covering her mouth with a handkerchief. Because she forced it, a painful cough burst out. Milene looked at her husband, who was embarrassed, instead of answering directly.

‘Why are you saying that openly to a child!’
