However, after lying down on the bed, I couldn’t recall what happened next. Unlike worries about catching a cold or flu, I slept so deeply that I didn’t even dream, and I woke up stretching, feeling refreshed.
“!”
However, the two guys occupying the beds on both sides, which should be empty, made me wonder why they were here.
‘Why is he here?’
I thought Hecate, who I expected to quietly leave when I fell asleep, was still there. Jeff, on the other hand, slept on the left side, making snoring sounds and even drooling, which did not suit an emperor.
‘It felt cramped.’
I felt like someone had kicked me in my sleep, but it couldn’t be Jeff, right? I decided to overlook it and quietly leave the bed alone.
“Good morning, our daughter.”
“Yes.”
And the plan failed. Jeff and Hecate, who both woke up abruptly, greeted each other with puzzled faces simultaneously. If someone saw them, they might think a thief had invaded and they were dealing with it.
“You drooled. Wipe it off.”
I wasn’t sick yesterday, but why are both of them acting like this? I gave a sarcastic remark to Jeff, whose appearance was more messy than Hecate, who seemed relatively fine.
“Oh, really?”
Didn’t you feel dampness while sleeping? Startled by my words, Jeff hastily wiped off the saliva with the back of his hand, while Hecate wiped her mouth and hands vigorously with the handkerchief I offered, awkwardly smiling and scratching her nose.
“Dazzling, you stayed up late yesterday. How about sleeping more?”
“It’s okay. I slept enough.”
Anyway, I couldn’t keep interfering between these two, so I tried to go downstairs, but Hecate, patting my back, kindly suggested that I should rest again.
“Whether you sleep early or late, you always naturally wake up at this time.”
However, I had already woken up, and going back to dreamland was awkward.
“Even if you try to force yourself to sleep, you won’t sleep better. It’s a habit that has become ingrained like a routine.”
After giving some advice, I turned my head and looked at Jeff. I couldn’t understand why he was here, no matter how much I thought about it, so I thought I would ask.
“But why is Dad here?”
“That’s right.”
Although a few disheveled strands of hair sticking out bothered me, I endured and waited for his answer.
“I woke up and didn’t see Mom, so I stopped by for a moment. And you two were sound asleep, what’s that about?”
If he came looking for us, he should have appeared with Hecate. I wondered why he showed up late. It turned out that Jeff had been blissfully sleeping and only woke up after a while to rush into my room.
“I was unintentionally watching over Mom and Dazzling, and I dozed off without realizing it.”
He seemed to have watched quietly and then crawled over with a silly smile. I shuddered at the thought of Jeff staring at Hecate and me and making a stupid grin.
“Don’t come next time.”
Disgusting. I glared at Jeff with a cold gaze.
“Yeah, sure.”
Jeff, like an adult, kept saying that he was uncomfortable with my sleeping situation and various other things, and I decided to get out of bed.
“Squawk!”
Meanwhile, Pobi, who had woken up, made a sound as if to announce its presence, then, following me from last night, yawned widely with its small beak on the sofa.
Even if I stretched, my arms and legs were so short and stubby that the baby bird looked like it was hesitating to sit down.
Chirp-.
Then, abruptly, the annoying alarm clock rang, and I immediately called the maid, finished the preparations, and went to have a meal.
“Eat a lot.”
I’ll eat more than just meat. I hid my intentions and enthusiastically fed Pobi potato dishes with a fork.
“Oh, why doesn’t our Dazzling eat more potatoes?”
Meanwhile, Jeff, who was carefully watching this scene, asked if I didn’t like the potato dish that came out today.
“Pobi likes potatoes, so I have to compromise.”
I sold Pobi, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
“Squawk, squawk!”
In the meantime, Pobi, oblivious to the fact that I might be using it as an excuse, happily indulged in the potatoes, wearing a blissful expression. Indeed, it was a good decision to give potatoes to this fellow.
“Well, then, from now on, tell the chef to make a lot of potato dishes, considering Pobi’s share too.”
“No, please don’t.”
Stop, Jeff!
I looked at Jeff with a serious expression and quickly grabbed another fork, stabbing a piece of potato and hastily putting it in my mouth.
“It’s nice that Dad cares, but it might make the kitchen staff’s job harder if you ask for too much.”
Morning should be kept moderate; excessive interference wasn’t good.
‘If it were meat, I could eat a kilogram three times a day.’
However, the story was different when it came to meat.

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
