Just waking up from a deep sleep, Adele, who could barely distinguish whether she was still dreaming or if it was reality, sweetly smiled at Valentin sitting by her bedside.
Valentin made a sound as if his breath had momentarily caught, then bent down, resting his forehead on her neck.
“Cheating.”
The back of his hand gripping the sheet instead of her hand showed visible veins. A scent of familiarity deepened the longing, and his voice, containing a strange patience, leaked out.
“It’s too much to smile like that the moment you wake up.”
She tried to hide her suppressed laughter with a muffled chuckle, but she couldn’t conceal the simmering desire within.
Adele lightly stroked his tense spine, as taut as a drawn bowstring, with her hand.
His body felt tense. Eventually, Valentin lifted his head from her neck and sighed with a melancholy tone.
“Don’t push yourself. You haven’t completely recovered from fatigue.”
“I didn’t intend for that… really.”
“Sleep a little more. I’ll be here.”
Receiving an outpouring of affection like a waterfall, she had always been curious. If I hadn’t resembled ‘that woman’ or made him think of ‘that woman,’ would Valentin have treated me so tenderly?
“Adel. What unnecessary thoughts are you having again?”
“…Can you read my thoughts now?”
“No way.”
“Then…”
“Biting your lips. It doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
He gently brushed her bitten lips with his thumb.
Feeling the soft touch, his fingers gradually moved from her cheek to her earlobe and neck. Ticklish, she couldn’t help but let out a breath.
While laughing, suddenly, she realized that the room was excessively dark.
“Wait a moment… what time is it now? It’s not the right time for this. I need to prepare for the dinner party.”
“Dinner is over, Adele.”
“W-what? Dinner is over?”
It felt like cold water was poured over her head in an instant.
She was about to startle and get up from the bed, nearly knocking Valentin’s chin with her head.
He calmly reassured Adele’s confusion.
“It’s okay to rest more. I told them it would be difficult for you to attend due to your poor physical condition.”
“But, still, wasn’t there any problem? I shouldn’t have missed the gathering attended by His Majesty.”
“Don’t worry. Everything has been resolved.”
“…Is it really true?”
“Why would I lie about this?”
He replied with a smirk. Despite Valentin’s nonchalant attitude, Adele’s anxiety didn’t easily subside.
The Emperor was exceptionally sensitive to the situation where nobles showed resistance to him.
‘Once you get a bad reputation, it’s known for its very long-lasting consequences.’
Therefore, at any dinner invitation, one had to find a way to attend by any means necessary. If absent even once without a valid reason, it was said that you would face humiliating reprimands, suspecting you were hiding some dirty secrets.
‘Count Rayhana always complained that His Majesty was overly sensitive.’
Adele spoke from under the blanket, twiddling her fingers.
“He might have said it’s okay in front of Valentin, but the Emperor is not a lenient person. There might be future disadvantages.”
“I don’t think so. Anyway, what the Emperor wanted to show the nobles was this body.”
Valentin said, holding her hand tightly.
Indeed, recalling the sight of the two of them standing side by side today, the Emperor seemed to be particularly fond of Valentin.
Beyond being blood-related, the Emperor and Valentin looked like they belonged to the same rich family.
On the other hand, Prince Mikhail standing beside them didn’t resemble the Emperor at all, while Valentin wore the symbols of the royal family from head to toe, like decorations.
Moreover, the Emperor’s uncontrollable affection.
The rumors circulating about Valentin potentially displacing Mikhail from the position of Crown Prince might not be mere flattery.
Adele bit her lip.
“Again with the lips.”
“Ah…”
At his remark, she stopped chewing her lips.
Valentin swept the lips shaped like teeth with his thumb. He frowned slightly.
“It’s a really bad habit.”

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.]
