Even after searching for a long time, it seemed that Kun, whether intentionally or not, did not show himself to make Cloe anxious.
Cloe pretended not to know as she asked the maid helping her with her bath, “Is Her Majesty okay?”
“Her consciousness hasn’t returned yet, but her physical condition is stable, so you don’t need to worry.”
“Where is Her Majesty currently?”
The maid, who had been answering well, abruptly closed her mouth the moment Cloe asked about his whereabouts. Once again, it seemed difficult to know Kun’s location this time.
“He doesn’t say anything.”
“…I-I apologize, Your Majesty!”
Bowing her head, the maid sought forgiveness.
“Apologies are unnecessary. Surely, it must be an order from Her Majesty.”
“…Yes. Her Majesty wished for Queen Cloe to rest and stabilize.”
Around dawn, when the Emperor returned to the palace, he collapsed after saying not to inform the Queen about his whereabouts. To prevent situations where Cloe regained consciousness first without sufficient rest, they followed the Emperor’s request without question.
Even the maid who served her did not differ.
“Everyone seems to have secretly shared a secret except me.”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s not like that, Your Majesty the Queen! We…”
Surprised, the maid clapped her hands without remembering the foam. Later, she claimed that it was not intentional and, rather, tried to appease Cloe, saying it was for her.
“It’s a joke. Don’t be embarrassed; it’s cute. I just teased you because I thought it would be fun.”
Even with this attempt to induce sympathy, it seemed it wasn’t working. Eventually, Cloe gave up on the questioning.
After finishing her bath, Cloe returned to her bedroom and took a good rest as her husband wished. It was delightful that breakfast would be brought here.
Knock, knock.
When someone knocked on the door, wondering if the meal had already arrived, she went outside.
“Winter?”
Instead of the servant pulling the tray cart, Winter, holding a cute bouquet, was waiting.
“It’s good for relaxation.”
It was a small bouquet with a combination of chamomile and jasmine flowers.
“Thank you.”
“Is Your Majesty’s body all right?”
“You’ve asked the same question less than two hours ago. I’m fine, so you can relax.”
While exchanging trivial greetings, Cloe subtly looked around. Even in this normally quiet corridor, it was bustling during breakfast, so not a single ant passed by.
“Oh, by the way, do you know where His Excellency is?”
“Are you asking about where His Imperial Majesty is?”
She nodded slightly.
“Since it’s an order from Her Majesty, it’s a secret to me, but…”
“Her Majesty the Empress is well aware, so it would be easy for me to explain the reason for refusal.”
Again, Winter seemed to be planning to remain silent.
“However, I can give you a small hint. First of all, Her Majesty is not in this palace.”
To Cloe’s surprise, Winter spoke smoothly, and her face quickly flushed.
“Even though I heard it was Her Majesty’s strict order, can you give me a hint?”
“As Her Majesty the Empress, you should know the affairs of the palace since you are also our lord. In fact, it’s a way of apologizing for any mistakes made so far, asking you to look over. I always want to make a good impression on Her Majesty the Empress.”
Winter’s sweet flattery brought a smile to Cloe’s face.
“Thank you, Winter. You are always a precious person to me.”
This, too, was a valuable relationship created by Kun and her current happiness.
However, understanding Winter’s intentions came much later.
After having breakfast, Cloe insisted on exercising to prevent her muscles from stiffening and finally seized the opportunity for a stroll.
Reflecting on Winter’s words, she wandered around, but there were too many candidates in the palace.
Perhaps Winter’s hint wasn’t meant for that purpose. It might be saying not even to attempt to find him, as the Emperor is in a very distant place…
Perhaps due to a certain incident, even for a simple walk, she now had the strict protection of the knights. Roaming the garden under the watchful eyes of knights and maids had its limitations.
Eventually, Cloe took refuge in the greenhouse garden, accessible only by the Empress. Even this required permission after the knights thoroughly searched the garden.
‘Where could Her Majesty be…’
Cloe carefully considered Kun’s possible location.
He would probably detest being stressed out in a place like this, but as someone who wanted to fulfill Kun’s requests as much as possible, she had no choice.
She needed to check if Kun was in good condition, and the desire to be the first person he faced when he regained consciousness was significant.
She also wanted to congratulate him on escaping Cedric’s curse that had persisted for several years, celebrating his newfound happiness.
So, if he understood her feelings well, would he be lenient about such an act…
As she pondered, a familiar sight appeared in front of her.
“Pi, pi?”
A rhythmic sound of chirping. Black-tipped feathers slightly tinged with red.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
