Lescallia approached where Lascellia was sitting and gently pressed his lips against her forehead. Lascellia, who knew how chaotic the time Lescallia had spent after returning to the palace, smiled wryly.
As the fact that demons could manipulate any human became known, Lescallia had to reevaluate his friendly relations with neighboring countries.
Now the hiding place of demons had expanded from the Imperial territory to the entire continent. The shields, organizations like the Shield, might need to move beyond borders.
No royal family would be pleased with an organization like the Shield moving within their territory.
Lescallia had to address such diplomatic issues, and he needed to be prepared for the possibility that demons might manipulate the armies of other countries.
“Although Your Majesty was not expected to come, if you have time, please have a seat for a moment, as Sir Sigres suggested.”
“I have time.”
Lescallia smoothly perched on the armrest of the single sofa where Lascellia sat.
Although it seemed natural, sitting for too long would inevitably become uncomfortable. Lascellia grabbed his arm and moved him to the adjacent couch.
Lescallia looked at Lascellia with eyes that seemed to melt.
No matter how much he went through, it seemed he couldn’t become indifferent to such incidents.
“I apologize, Empress. My pigeon once again didn’t listen properly.”
Deccan, more embarrassed than Rian, carefully picked up the pigeon that was trembling even more due to Pipi glaring at it fiercely.
The pigeon was completely frightened due to Pipi’s intense gaze throughout.
Lascellia nodded, indicating that everything was fine.
Ivet was surprised, and although the wall was damaged, it was considered acceptable.
Throughout their return to the palace, it had been like this.
Last night, there was an incident where they mistook the bats in the basement for demons, resulting in an untimely bat hunt.
While it was a good thing that the basement, filled with musty air, was thoroughly cleaned, some palace residents got sick as a consequence.
Even after it was revealed that they were bats and not demons, due to Lescallia and Rian not relaxing their vigilance, everyone had to rummage through the basement until morning with tired eyes.
“It’s not something to blame the bats for. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Then… with your permission, I’ll go retrieve the pigeon.”
“Do so.”
Deccan, holding the shivering pigeon, left the room first.
The guards left to summon a magician at Rian’s urging, and Ivet went to fetch the overflowing tea water from the teapot.
The remaining people were Lascellia, Lescallia, and Rian.
“Why are you still here?”
Lescallia asked Rian. Meanwhile, Lescallia was gently caressing Lascellia’s hand.
Rian tried to maintain a polite expression as best as he could.
“It’s my duty to guard Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”
“You don’t have to stay in one place all the time.”
“Ah, but if I don’t, there’s a chance the wall might be broken again, isn’t there?”
“So you’ll continue to stay?”
“Wouldn’t that be better?”
Rian suddenly summoned an Aura. The violet Aura wrapped around the sword was vivid enough to be visible even with closed eyes.
Lescallia asked with narrowed eyes.
“Why is that?”
“Oh, now that I think about it, Your Majesty hasn’t seen my Aura yet.”
Rian made a proud face, saying something unrelated out of the blue.
“How about it, Your Majesty? Do you like it?”
“Whether I like it or not doesn’t seem to matter… But it feels like a similar vibe to the Aura of the sword. It’s a beautiful light.”
At those words, Lescallia’s expression strangely soured. In contrast, Rian, on the other hand, made a shy face without responding.
“No, it can’t be! Such a rude remark… I resemble not myself but Your Majesty, the Empress.”
“Me? Is there a reason for your power to resemble me?”
“I’ve already told you. The owner of my Aura is Your Majesty, the Empress. It must have naturally taken after its owner. Look, it has the exact same eye color as Your Majesty, the Empress.”
“Ah…?”
“Pii?”
While Lascellia and Pipi expressed a small admiration, realizing that it seemed to be true, Lescallia reached out and turned Lascellia’s body.
“Well, exaggerate as much as you want. But, by the way,”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Rian, who no longer had someone to indulge him, pursed his lips out of sight.
“It seems like you’ve forgotten something.”
“Is there something?”
“There is.”
Lescallia vigorously nodded.
“Last night, I couldn’t be by your side. I was on guard against demons.”
It was not demons but bats, but Lescallia stubbornly called them demons.
In fact, there was no need for Lescallia to personally intervene, but Lascellia felt fuzzy knowing that he had driven away the bats so thoroughly.
“Yes.”
“So, you missed practice.”
“That…,”
It would be that practice.
After casting a glance at Rian with eyes that said he could disappear as he pleased, Lescallia continued.
“So, it seems like it’s time for practice now. You can deal with things like the Aura later.”
Lascellia side-eyed Rian with a different meaning.
Hoping that Rian wouldn’t know about that practice.
“Well… it’s a bit of an inconvenient time now. The day’s work isn’t even over yet.”
“If you don’t do it now, a day will be skipped.”
Lescallia spoke as if it were the most important and serious matter in the world.
“That can’t be allowed.”
“…….”

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

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.]
