Certainly! Here’s the translation of the passage you provided:
“Aaah!”
I, who had been sleeping lightly, opened my eyes to a resounding scream.
“What, what’s happening!”
I opened my eyes in a flash and looked in the direction of the sound.
My father’s face was flushed, looking as though he might collapse at any moment.
“Father, if you keep going like this, you’ll collapse…”
Something was off.
Hasn’t there been times like this?
A chilly spine, a powerful sensation as if something had happened.
A feeling like I had forgotten something, but whatever it was, it seemed like a fatal problem.
‘Where is Nathaniel?’
Why, I wonder.
There was something heavy looming behind.
I turned my body.
A nice black hair that was still dark even in the sunlight, long eyelashes tightly closed.
Up to slightly parted red lips.
He was goodlooking enough to forget the situation for a moment and admire.
My eyes went from the eyes to the lips, and then to the firm chest.
I was gazing at the halfhidden upper body under the blanket, wondering when he had gotten in, when I was brought back to my senses by my father’s yell.
“How… dare you!!”
No, why are you there!
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] (())Nathaniel, who was awakened from a sound sleep by the sudden commotion, looked bewildered.
Fortunately, there was a bit of decency left as he kept his mouth shut.
It was somewhat funny that his arms and legs were sticking out from under the short sleeves of the clothes he had borrowed from Maximilian.
Of course, the situation wasn’t funny.
“I will inform Her Majesty of today’s events.”
“Nothing happened.”
At Nathaniel’s nonchalant response, my father’s eyebrows went up.
“Is that something a man who just slept in the same bed should say!”
Maximilian, who had been standing beside, shouted.
His appearance, urging me to speak, was contemptible, but the situation didn’t allow for me to make a comment.
“No, really, nothing happened.”
“Then why were you in her room?”
A suitable excuse did not come to mind.
What would be a good thing to say?
Worried about Princess Anais’ safety? To consult about the future of the Winters Duke family?
They were all absurd things.
It wasn’t a story important enough to debate all night.
“Speak quickly!”
At my father’s urging, Nathaniel opened his mouth quietly.
“I only came to find the princess since she promised me a delicious dessert earlier.”
Do you think that will work now?
Besides, that looks like I was flirting.
You silly, useful dragon.
I only grinned, eventually following his lead.
“Yes, yes. I bragged a bit about my chef to Her Highness the Princess at a birthday party before.”
“Do I look like a fool to you?”
I shut my mouth at my father’s cold response.
Nathaniel spoke as if annoyed.
“Really, nothing happened, and I just fell asleep because I was too tired from what happened yesterday afternoon. I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
“Where are you going?”
Maximilian looked at him, frowning.
For the first time, I didn’t have a clue how to handle this.
It was an accident that happened outside the scope of the original work.
Was this all a repercussion of twisting the original work?
“You must take responsibility for tarnishing my daughter’s honor, Your Highness.”
“Father! I told you nothing really happened.”
“You be quiet!”
Almost treated like an accomplice, I shut my mouth.
My father stood up abruptly and pointed at Nathaniel, yelling.
“Your Highness, you must come with me to the Imperial Palace!”
“Very well.”
Nathaniel, as if he were a bystander, was suspicious.
Is it okay to send him off alone?
If he messed up more, it didn’t seem like it could be remedied.
“I’m coming too!”
“You are grounded, Jaina.”
“Father!”
“You’re not to take one step out of your room!”
My angry father, his rage reaching the tip of his head, ordered the maids to lift me up.
Escorted to my room like a criminal, I was left alone.
“Oh shit, what on earth is happening.”
I ran to the window and looked out.
I saw my father, fuming, getting into the carriage and Nathaniel, nonchalantly climbing into the carriage.
“That man, I hope he doesn’t say anything strange.”
Nathaniel, living as the best under heaven, had a lack of common sense in strange areas.
A wave of unease came over me.
I had a feeling that I was entangled in something strange.
“Jaina, are you inside?”
“Ye, yes.”
Maximilian opened the door and came in with a meal.
Having skipped a meal due to the morning chaos, my stomach growled at the delicious smell.
Why is she pretending to be nice all of a sudden?
Honestly, it was strange because the relationship between my siblings and I hadn’t been good for the past few weeks.
“Start by eating breakfast.”
“Okay.”
Soup, bread, cheese, and ham were served on the table.
The tension eased a bit as we ate.
“What exactly is your relationship with the Crown Prince?”
“Just… friends?”

Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
