Watching the increasingly ambiguous expression on Benjamin’s face, Yurisien spoke.
“Aibar told me.”
“…What?”
“Aibar apologized and told me many things. Well, to be precise, he caught my weaknesses. When I was kidnapped, Aibar left the place.”
“Because of that?”
“Yes. Before that, he said that Prince Hwangtai thought I was really having an affair with Lafine. He told me such things.”
Yurisien still didn’t release the strength of her arms. On the contrary, she tightened them as if asking to be embraced. It seemed like a whim. Thus, Benjamin had no choice but to confine Yurisien to his arms again.
Seeing a woman hugging him like this, he even wondered what it would be like if she were a savior or a Ben. Benjamin, who always made decisions without valid reasons and rarely changed them, was useless in front of Yurisien.
‘Right. Yurisien is the one who asked to be hugged first.’
Refusing or pushing her away wasn’t a bad option either. Benjamin embraced her again with such an absurd self-justification. Feeling the excessively strong embrace, Yurisien chuckled.
“You really did all sorts of things, Your Highness.”
“All sorts of things? …Hmm.”
Since Benjamin didn’t deny it, Yurisien burst into laughter again with a clear smile.
“I thought I would know without hearing it because it seemed like Aibar thought so. But my thoughts changed.”
“Why?”
“Because I dreamed it. The scene where Prince Hwangtai tells me to remember the boy who fell for me. It’s a scene where memories cut off by drinking come out through a dream.”
“So, what did I do? I got curious and asked Ivan, who came to apologize.”
Benjamin groaned. He never expected Yurisien to find out about everything through Ivan. Really, there was never a way to follow Benjamin’s expectations in front of Yurisien.
“Now you understand what the Guild Master told me as your Guild Master, right? It’s about amnesia.”
[I fervently wished. That someone not remembering me wasn’t because they forgot me, but because they had some illness. I’d rather have some disease that made them forget me.]“You didn’t know Prince Hwangtai and knew Prince Hwangja… You hoped I had amnesia and was delusional about knowing him.”
Yurisien reached out and lightly grasped Benjamin’s cheek. With that touch, Benjamin’s back and waist shuddered. It felt crazy even thinking about it himself.
“However, that’s not all.”
“What else is there?”
Benjamin, who was about to lower his head towards Yurisien’s hand, mumbled in surprise.
“I also know what I wanted last night.”
“Last night?”
“When Prince Hwangtai told me that I should have an affair with Lafine.”
Benjamin’s thoughts quickly wandered through the past.
That day, the night that had completely plundered Yurisien’s night.
While drinking rum and listening to Benjamin’s story, Yurisien had come to a conclusion with mixed emotions.
[Let’s shake hands.]“…Shake hands?”
[Yes.]Then, she hastily drank, grabbed Benjamin’s hand with the warm hand, and shook it lightly. Benjamin thought it was a greeting as collaborators. It wasn’t entirely bitter, and though it would be a lie to say it wasn’t bittersweet, he wasn’t particularly upset.
However, Yurisien now says she wanted to do something else at that time.
“What did you want to do?”
Benjamin asked innocently, blinking his eyes. His expression, looking somewhat dazed, even appearing a bit foolish, as if unable to grasp the situation, was a bit naive. When Yurisien didn’t answer, his face gradually reddened. Eventually, Yurisien let out a forced laugh.
“I think I was really drunk.”
