He must have relentlessly pushed himself to seize Perseta until he went to see Loo, who was living alone in the Momentum headquarters.

He reached out to the husband who had not slept a wink and struggled for her in a place she didn’t know.

The much larger Hayden, when she reached out, lowered his knees so that she could easily touch him.

“Why are you worrying so much in advance? Do you think I’ll be happy if you suffer alone?”

The gray eyes subtly avoided Loo’s gaze at that question. Every time he moved his eyes, numerous and delicate eyelashes brushed against the tip of Loo’s finger.

“If I didn’t want to worry about things like the country, I wouldn’t have married you.”

With soft words, Loo gently stroked his cheek.

“If it takes a few years, let it take a few years. I know your abilities, but it’s the right way for you to naturally be with me.”

Just as Hayden was about to say something, Loo’s hand covered his mouth.

“I’m doing it because I want to. And from now on, I hope you don’t have to shoulder things alone. No, you shouldn’t.”

After climbing a few stairs first, Loo spoke firmly, and Hayden couldn’t dare to object.

Everything melted away in front of her green eyes staring straight at him. Since he was always an easy man for her, he didn’t say anything and just nodded his head.

“Understand?”

He nodded his head again.

“Well, then, will you stop doing all the work at once?”

Hayden closed his eyes tightly, nodded his head again, and opened them again. The person he wanted to make the empress of the most perfect and powerful country was brightly smiling in front of him.

“Alright.”
Loo finally turned away after lowering her hand from his face. Despite turning away, her hand continued to reach out towards Hayden. It was natural and effortless for him to take that hand and walk inside together.

“Anyway, this afternoon is just a break.”

“You too, Loo.”

“Yeah.”

“Was it okay meeting people you know earlier?”

“I decided not to care.”

“Not caring and being okay are different, Loo.”

Loo smiled lightly and let her hair down. Hayden, from behind, took out the hairpin for her.

“It’s a bad memory. But, it’s not important anymore.”

With silver-mixed brown hair flowing down, she quickly ascended the stairs, passing through the wide hall.

“I have more good memories now, and I’m okay.”

She could clearly state the biggest reason why she could be okay. It’s okay. The nightmare of the past four years is completely over, so Loo is okay.

“That’s fortunate.”

“I hope you are too. I hope you’re getting better.”

The man with a horrific past that couldn’t be completely forgotten nodded gently.

“I’m okay too.”

After flashing a bright smile, Loo walked further inside. Hayden continued to walk with her.

“… I want to take a shower.”

“Sure.”

“What about you?”

“I have to attend to the bathhouse. There aren’t enough maids here, Loo.”

So the hands that were gently covering the very polite clothing were skillful in removing it. Loo wrapped her arms around the neck of Hayden, who was wearing a bathing suit, and pulled him closer. Laughter echoed softly.
