Anyway, since the Bluemoon had ended, the emperor would now return to his original indifferent nature. It had to be that way.
“It’s not so, Your Majesty the Empress.”
However, one of the maids, who was dressing her in place of Lady Pashad, cautiously spoke up.
“Not so?”
“The Bluemoon hasn’t set for three days. It’s still up during the day. The sun just makes it hard to see.”
“Ah…… I see.”
In the southern continent of Dellaruta, there was no Bluemoon. The Bluemoon was clearly visible only in the Eliarden Empire and a few surrounding countries.
“Three days. So, there are still two days left.”
Would last night continue to repeat for the remaining two days?
It wasn’t a bad thing, as long as no one got hurt. After all, the one who had lost consciousness had only clung to her and done nothing else.
But it wasn’t from the start that they lost consciousness… It would be painful again while the transformation was happening.
Thinking about the process made her feel stifled.
It wasn’t my fault. I just happened to obtain the body of the empress. But why does it feel like I keep doing something wrong?
Rasilia let out a small sigh.
The more she felt this way, the more she needed to disappear quickly. That way, the emperor would find his true companion.
Mixed feelings of aversion and guilt about the remaining two days became murky.
‘Yes, two days.’
She could endure two more days.
She could wipe the blood, embrace when needed, and watch if in pain. If she couldn’t even do that, it would be too heartless.
Tap, taptap.
Swish, tap. Taptap.
Then a small noise came from the dresser drawer.
“……? What is this?”
Rasilia opened the drawer where the sound came from.
Inside the drawer filled with perfumes, a red stone was rolling and knocking between the bottles, making a tapping sound.
It was the stone the black bird had brought yesterday.
It looked a lot like the egg she saw in her dream, but this should be a stone.
Dreams are dreams after all.
“Why is this here?”
“Ah,”
When Rasilia picked up the stone, the maid who was playing with her jewelry knelt flat on the floor.
“I, I kept it, Your Majesty the Empress. You had left it carefully on the windowsill while cleaning the bedroom, so I thought you left it on purpose… I, I’ve committed a capital crime! I failed to ask your intention! Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Empress.”
“……? Commit a crime. How is keeping my item well a crime? Stand up. You’ve done nothing wrong.”
“Ah…… Aah? Is, is that really true?”
“It’s fine.”
“Aah……. Ththank you, Your Majesty the Empress!”
It was a trivial matter, but the reaction was excessive.
Her pale face showed that she really thought she’d be punished just a moment ago. It must have been because of how the empress usually treated her maids.
Rasilia, holding the stone, looked at the maid and continued to speak.
“From now on, in matters like this, you……,”
Rasilia suddenly stopped speaking and stared at her hand.
Taptap, squeak.
Though it must be a stone, a faint movement came from that stone.
“……Huh?”
Tap…… Squeak!
That wasn’t all. One side of it cracked and the crack spread.
“What is happening now……,”
“Peep!”
And from the broken part, a tiny head popped out.
“Gasp!”
The maid, who had been trembling, let out a big breath.
“So, something came out of the stone……. Ah, no! It was an egg! It was an egg, Your Majesty the Empress!”
It was not a stone, but an egg.
The dream was thought to be a dream, but the egg that appeared in that dream was now placed on my palm.
“Peep!”
The small creature that still hadn’t opened its eyes cried out with a start.
Strangely, Rasilia seemed to understand what it meant.
“Ah, you want to come out?”
“Peep!”
“Got it. Just a moment.”
Rasilia carefully placed the halfcracked egg on the dressing table.
“It seems I need to break the shell…….”
The unknown palace maid was a quickwitted individual with dexterous hands.
As Rasilia struggled with the small creature in the egg, who was already showing its temperament, the palace maid quickly opened the drawer on the opposite side and took out a thin glass rod.
“Would this be alright, Your Majesty? It’s a rod for mixing perfume, and it’s new and unused.”
“This will do. Thank you.”
“Your, Your Highness!”
Tap tap.
Rasilia gently tapped the remaining part of the egg with the end of the glass rod and broke it.
The effort was not in vain, and the egg broke safely.
“Peeppeep!”
The small creature that came out of the egg was a bird. Although small, it had the shape of a beak and wings.
It looked like a pink piece of flesh with only down instead of feathers, but Rasilia thought that when this bird grew up, it would have an intense red color like a flame.
It was because there was one very pretty red feather sticking out on the back of its head.
“Peep.”
The bird hopped onto Rasilia’s palm as soon as it opened its eyes, and began to rub its small head on her palm.
“That’s right, nice to meet you. Where did you come from?”
“Peep.”
“……What?”
“Peeppeep.”
The bird’s answer was surprising.
“From the heart……you say?”
“What? From the heart?”
While Rasilia’s surprised expression froze, the palace maid also became perplexed.
“Your Majesty, can you understand what the bird is saying?”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
