“I think you liked them.”
Even though it’s a doll.
“It’s too small.”
A small and young soul.
A child embraced by a bear smiles.
“As a newlywed couple.”
The peddler warmly introduced.
“Put this doll by your pillow and sleep. It will help you have a healthy child.”
The Empress, who held the doll, blinked in confusion.
“Ah…….”
The Emperor paid the price silently.
“Ah, there’s also a black bear resembling your husband. It’s the same price.”
The peddler seemed to know well what the peddling act was all about.
Shalov asked cautiously from the side.
“Do you want a child?”
“I’d be happy with anything that resembles you, but I don’t wish for a child. I liked the way you smiled at the child doll.”
“Eh?”
“Your appearance was so pure.”
The Imperial Guard sighed. In the midst of mercenaries, and even the peddler’s trickery was impressive.
“Your Majesty, you also considered the successor to be less important. Your Majesty also had a heart.”
Pedelin observed all of this.
‘It’s like child’s play.’
In treating each other carefully,
that caution is also an affection for each other.
“Oh! Pickpocket!”
“Hey, don’t interfere, or your neck will be cut off if you get too close.”
Pedelin broke the arm of the pickpocket approaching the Emperor’s party.
“It’s a bit chaotic here. Shall we go that way?”
Benjamin cautiously held Shal’s waist. The hand supporting the waist firmly anchored the center.
Shalov stopped at one side of the harbor.
“Sailors gather here to drink traditional liquor. They sell it in small cups, and many sailors enjoy it with traditional food.”
“…Is it okay?”
“A small drink. Not too much.”
Shalov gradually blended into the harbor.
“It has a rustic charm.”
The Empress later enjoyed traditional liquor and traditional food.
“Oh! You appreciate the flavor of the traditional liquor of Pofuta! There are no bad people who like the traditional food of Pofuta! The freshness of the seafood is different, and the depth of the food is different, isn’t it?”
Wearing traditional clothes and drinking traditional alcohol,
the Empress seemed like an ordinary woman.
“Now, it’s not a means of avoidance anymore.”
Benjamin embraced Shalov from behind like that.
It was different from the sight of him abusing himself to forget the past pain.
“This is a traditional hat!”
The floppy hat was wide and could be tied with a string.
“Too bad. Isn’t the shawl plain?”
“Oh! Wait a moment! Here is a Yak fabric shawl. It will suit traditional clothing better. The traditional Yak fabric costume has a wide and deeply colored costume!”
Matylica shawls were costumes worn like gowns, tied around the waist.
Shalov, dressed in traditional costumes, turned to Benjamin.
He pressed the straw hat and pressed the back of his head. His complexion had become clear and reddened.
“It suits you well.”
Pedelin spoke, protecting the Emperor by his side.
“They say you forget shock with memories.”
It would become a memory.
“At least when you think of Pofuta, you’ll remember this day.”
If you cover the memories of the Expeditionary Front like this, that’s fine too.
“For a foreigner, you melt easily.”
“You’re probably used to melting my presence.”
The sailors treated the Empress familiarly.
Benjamin blended into the side of the Empress.
“It’s a dish of minced seafood fried.”
“It’s a traditional dish of Pofuta.”
“The texture is good. The seasoning is salty and rich.”
It was a deep-fried dish made by mashing fish meat and adding seasoning.
“Is it okay?”
“It’s not stimulating and tastes mild.”
The sailors watched the Emperor’s party with satisfaction. They didn’t know they were nobles. Benjamin admired such an Empress.
The Emperor’s party, covered in Pofuta traditional costumes, also wore straw hats.
“Is there something on my cheek?”
The Empress is fierce. However, that’s only harsh to herself.
If such an Empress tries to harm others harshly, it means sacrificing her own flesh and carving the bones of that guy.
Let’s break together if it’s going to break.
When you break,
I’ll be by your side, broken.
The Empress is such a person.
‘A person who abandons herself.’
That means there’s nothing but her own on her mind.
Because she had nothing in the past, she easily let herself go.
Since there was nothing left behind, she could push herself to break when she broke.
As much as that, she was lacking.
She sought affection,
and the Empress became weak to small things.
“Because I like you.”
Enjoys watching.
“It’s good to capture it in your eyes.”
⭐⭐⭐
“Please, may your steps be peaceful.”
“May your steps be peaceful too.”
This was a farewell greeting exchanged in Pofuta. When bidding farewell, Pofuta wished for a future without disturbances.
Not chaos but peace.
The deputy of the Count came to apologize.
“Your Highness, as you led the expedition on the warship, the position was vacant. He sent a messenger, saying he would visit soon after the demon subjugation is completed.”
Pofuta is like a military fortress. Staying on the expedition front is his duty, and it is only natural to be respected.
“How deeply the people of Pofuta are proud of their territory and feel affection for the empire. Isn’t that enough?”
Benjamin briefly comforted him, acknowledging his efforts so far.
“Your Majesty, the Empress still has a lingering fever from this morning. Her complexion is red.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
“If you wish, shall I bring a fever reducer?”
Shalov stiffly replied, pressing his neck. The cheeks were cold from the chilly air, but under the neck, it was stiff due to the heat.
This is not a cold. Even if the fever rises and the complexion turns red, the mind is clear.
“Is it hot?”
Benjamin touched Shal’s cheek with the back of his hand.
“I’m… fine.”
The Imperial Guards exclaimed, “Oh!” sharply. At times like this, if you meet eyes, you might freeze from the cold. Benjamin wrapped his arms around Shal’s arms and replied.
“No need for a fever reducer.”
“Ah, ah, yes!”
“Prepare yourself. We’re leaving soon.”
The imperial carriage left Pofuta. The Emperor’s party left like that.
“Why do you find it awkward?”
There’s no reason to feel awkward. Why would an adult man and woman, even a married couple, feel awkward? Benjamin also knows that he is an inexperienced lover.
Although he is mixed with boring guys, he knows what the Empress is awkward about now.
“I’ve already done everything, and there’s not much left.”
Shalov’s eyes narrowed.
“Is this it?”
“…Are you doing this on purpose?”
“Yeah. They say tension like this is good in a marital relationship.”
Just like that. That’s how he put it.
“We’re a married couple. Don’t feel awkward.”
Later, as they become more familiar with each other.
“I’ll reach out to you when I want to.”
When you want to hold hands, just do it.
“Don’t worry, Shal. If you don’t let me go, I won’t let you go either.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
