“Trying to pretend not to love?”
“I’ll try not to easily fall in love. I’ve pondered over it for a long time, but if that’s what you want, I can do it.”
Adorably.
Why does the phrase “I can do it” sound so lovely?
“Alright.”
“But it feels like we were destined from the beginning. I used to detest women, but you were different. From the women in this country…”
“Different?”
“Yes. Like… it feels like you’re not of this world. Just a different existence.”
For a moment, my heart felt ashamed.
Is it really like that? That he can’t feel disgust towards me alone, is it really… because of that reason?
“Even to my only friend, even to my servants… I hate just how repulsive my humanity is. But you are different.”
“Haha, well… probably because…”
“Because…?”
What should I say to explain? Lian looked at me with quite an expectant expression. For a moment, I locked eyes with a pigeon sitting on the windowsill.
“Because I’m a pigeon.”
“A… pigeon?”
“Yes, I’m the leader of the Pigeon Assassins. That’s probably why.”
It was a vaguely made-up story. I wanted to smoothly transition away from Lian’s words, who seemed to expect something. But of all things, I brought up pigeons.
“Pfft.”
Lian drooped for a moment, looking at my face, then laughed a beat late.
“…Just, you know, kidding…?”
Feeling like the atmosphere might get serious or wanting to lighten the mood, the words I said came out embarrassed.
“I know, but…”
“But…?”
“I actually think it could be true. I should have known since the Pigeon Assassins came for me.”
Laughing slyly, he rose from his seat.
“Well, anyway… let’s call it a day today. The kids must be tired, and I’m exhausted too.”
“Oh, it’s a shame. I wanted to stay longer.”
He, who stood up following me, lightly kissed my forehead with my long hair.
It was my untactful curls that he kissed, but I felt embarrassed for a moment.
“Well, until we meet again. Today… was really nice. To be able to talk about my feelings to someone… it’s the first time since Lady Hwangbi.”
“I’m glad. If you have any difficulties, feel free to talk. I want to be someone you can lean on when you’re having a hard time.”
“Yeah, Bella. If you have any hardships, feel free to talk to me too.”
“Sure.”
He looked at the bedroom for a moment with a somewhat comfortable expression before leaving.
After that, I returned to the room. Shasha was already asleep next to Ruedello, and I spent the night on a nearby sofa.
Two days later.
Although it took quite a while, Ruedello seemed to be returning to his old self.
He still looked absent-minded and glanced around, but since those who could enter the Star Palace were few, and all of them were people he had trusted so far, he seemed to be doing well.
And today, just like clockwork, people appeared one by one, and I chuckled at the sight.
Matapju Sehelus and Merkin, Archbishop Karitos, and Haven, who had trouble telling lies and had emotional issues. The four of them came to the Star Palace as if they had made an appointment.
“Anyone would think you made an appointment if they saw you all come together.”
“Although we didn’t make an appointment… we came this far together and went back several times.”
“Why did you bring that X along with you when you hated going back with him so much?”
Even though they bickered with each other, Sehelus and Karitos didn’t seem to be fighting that much.
It seemed to be in a temporary truce state, although it didn’t mean they were on good terms.
“Go back?”
“Didn’t you know that entrance was prohibited?”
Sehelus seemed to have known that it was prohibited, but he came anyway, while Karitos didn’t seem to know. He expressed regret after coming and going several times.
“No, he didn’t mention when it would open and kept saying he didn’t know when the visit would be allowed. It’s incredibly frustrating. Still, it’s so good to see your face after a long time.”
Even when I first saw Archbishop Karitos, there were many things I didn’t like. His face was compassionate and warm, like an angel’s descent, but there seemed to be a slight problem with his character.
However, now, as he extends flowers towards me with a bright smile, his appearance is radiant enough to believe that he’s a living god.
“This is a gift.”
“A gift?”
Actually, it’s a flower that Haven picked to give to Shasha. There are many mysterious flowers in the temple, and he wanted to show them to Shasha, so he picked flowers from the flower bed every day. But due to being rejected several times…
“Did you make a new one each time?”
Karitos nodded with a playful expression and looked at Haven.
“Flowers don’t look pretty when they wither.”
“Uh… I see.”
“I wanted to show fresh flowers to Shasha. I heard she’s not feeling well.”
“Oh… is that so?”
“Thanks to that, the temple garden has become quite empty like a deserted mountain.”
Knowing his mistake, Haven, seemingly remorseful, abruptly turned his gaze away.
“Then, Haven, let Haven go and give the flowers to Shasha.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
