I felt a chill in my heart, like when Nikolai took off his Casanova mask.
“If you want to keep your life, stay calm. Don’t be reassured just because you’re surrounded by knights.”
“Is it from experience?”
“Don’t try to know too much. It’s something I say in return for your advice.”
I was briefly grateful that he took my words as advice, but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for his unchildlike calm.
I shouldn’t be worrying about celebrities or the wealthy.
I was worrying about the crown prince, beyond my bounds.
It was meddling, but I couldn’t leave it alone.
Franz was sweating again.
“Should I call a healer?”
“It’s fine.”
“You have a flood on your forehead? Your complexion is also bad.”
“I’ll be fine soon, so don’t worry.”
“You should still get examined. What if it’s a serious illness?”
“I know my body!”
Franz pounded the table with his fist.
It was a different, sensitive reaction from children who were afraid of injections.
I felt a deeprooted distrust and even fear towards the healer.
‘Should I talk to Nikolai? That man probably doesn’t care at all. Ah, there’s a way!’
A brilliant idea came to mind, and I slapped my knee.
Then, a knight outside the door announced Nikolai’s arrival.
“The Emperor will arrive shortly. He has commanded that you be awake this time.”
Franz and I looked at each other with surprised rabbit eyes.
‘What to do? There’s no time to escape!’
Before I could finish my thought, the lock opened.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Elizabeth spoke particularly fast today.
She seemed both excited and anxious.
“I don’t understand why I have to be kept locked up. He said he would appoint me as His Highness the Crown Prince’s educational administrator, didn’t he?”
Every time she moved her lips, a sweet fragrance wafted out.
My nerves, strained by standing up all night, gradually relaxed.
The wolf had not let go of Nikolai last night either.
The women who had been waiting for the touch of the wolf were no exception.
Even though it had not allowed a sprint to the end, the wolf stubbornly urged Nikolai’s instincts.
「Enjoy life, Niki. Make living a little more fun.」
He never showed it, but Nikolai was afraid of the wolf with a tail inside him.
He was afraid that someday he would fall for its antics.
The women who became empresses were convinced that they had captured the emperor with their beauty.
Nikolai did not know that he barely endured the stench, that he found this time of feeding the wolves horrendous.
He restrained the urge to run from the groping women’s baskets to the canary room.
He wanted to see Elizabeth. He had felt the same way this morning.
He didn’t want to admit it, but he couldn’t help it.
He endured and endured and finally came, using the palace inspection as an excuse.
Not even a day had passed.
“Does this also fall under enjoying life? It’s a bit awkward and confusing.”
Of course, it wasn’t only painful.
Every time he quarreled with Elizabeth, his face flushed.
Because it was very difficult to hide his willingness.
“Benefits are given to the education supervisor. One of them is free access to the imperial palace. Although there’s no guarantee that you will become the real education supervisor.”
“The first meaning is to win over the crown prince’s heart.”
“It will be easy for you? Isn’t your body a one that declared to seduce the emperor?”
“!”
“What’s the plan for today, Elizabeth?”
Nikolai brushed Elizabeth’s fallen hair behind her ear.
Even the wolves used to excite women with such trivial gestures.
Every time Nikolai’s hand brushed past, Elizabeth seemed to flinch slightly.
Elizabeth’s dark pupils trembled like those of a country girl who knew nothing about men.
She seemed unaware that pretending to be calm was further stimulating Nikolai.
‘Women in the harem are different. I want to keep touching them. The hair, the nape, the lips.’
Elizabeth, who was anxiously rolling her eyes, murmured without parting her lips as much as possible.
“Say that later.”
“Why not now?”
“It’s broad daylight. Someone might… hear.”
“Is pretending to be modest a new tactic?”
“I’m originally a modest character.”
If it became known that Elizabeth Emster said such a thing, everyone would laugh.
Capturing attention, teasing handsome men, using their hearts to satisfy her vanity.
This woman was completely different from Elizabeth, who had shown a natural talent in all these things.
Could it really be true that people changed after typhoid?
Neither the loosely tied pinkish hair nor the simple dress appeared to be deliberately staged.
Unlike the glamorous appearance of the “Queen of Flowers,” known as the rose, she was natural and pure.
Even Nikolai, who knew nothing about women, could not be unaware that it highlighted her innate beauty.
“Why are you wearing that? They brought clothes by carriage from the Emster mansion.”
“They were all indecent, tight, and uncomfortable party dresses. I’ll have to call a tailor.”
“I’ll summon the best craftsman in the empire. I’ll also buy the finest silk. You can choose the jewels freely too.”
“I have a lot of money.”
“I’ll make it so. Because I also want to win your heart.”
Elizabeth’s lips gaped open blankly.
The small and pearly white teeth visible between her plump lips captured Nikolai’s gaze.
The repeatedly blinking eyelids and the long eyelashes that seemed to make a rustling sound with every blink were the same.
When he was proposed a game of seduction, Nikolai dismissed it as a childish waste of time.
He wrote a contract, but it was merely an excuse to possess a mysterious fragrance.
He thought he had no ambition to win. But he did not know why he was becoming more serious.
‘If I win the game, I can own everything of Elizabeth’s. There’s no need to feel guilty. Whether it’s impulse or curiosity, it doesn’t matter to the winner.’
Nikolai did not understand the meeting between a man and a woman.
Neither did he understand the emotion called love.
Ambiguous emotional play felt much simpler and beneficial than a contract.
If it was a game where victory came from winning the heart, then that was all there was to it.
‘Isn’t anything allowed in order to win? As long as the contract is kept.’
Nikolai couldn’t even guess what kind of boomerang that might become.
Neither could he predict Elizabeth’s sudden demand.
“If you want my heart, please return the Nettleton family’s heirloom.”
