Normally, if someone other than Asha touched his body, he would have refused right away, but this time he remained still, grateful to the servant who came to deliver the news.
But seeing the horse respond to her words, Sonya’s eyes widened as she exclaimed.
“You really understand speech, don’t you? Amazing, it’s so fascinating!”
Jackal simply flared his nostrils and sighed.
“You’re worried about Lady Vanessa, right? You look weak today. You’re not even eating the fruit you like…”
At that, he pulled himself together and quickly went to the basket, chewing and munching on the apple and corn.
He hoped that she was well and that she would also know that he had eaten the food she had sent.
Sonya soon relaxed her expression as if relieved.
“Oh my, you’re eating well! You’re so wonderful. I’ll tell Lady Vanessa that Shepi is doing well too! So even if you miss Lady Vanessa, don’t escape from the room like last time, got it? If Shepi does that, Lady Vanessa will have a lot of trouble and worry. She’s worrying about what might have happened to Shepi every hour now.”
Jackal had rushed impulsively to comfort Asha, but regret piled up at the thought that his rash action may have made her situation more awkward.
Sonya waved her hand as she left the room, and soon a hawk flew through the window.
Jackal quickly transformed into a human and read the note tied to the hawk’s leg.
It was Gebe’s contact, stating that the escape route, routes, and all preparations were complete.
Now, not much time was left for the ‘Asha Rescue Operation’.
Though unexpected variables had suddenly appeared, the recent event made him even more determined to rescue Asha from the palace.
Jackal wrote a reply with the pen tied to the opposite leg of the hawk.
His eyes were very serious as he sent the hawk flying back.
(This is a time separator.)
Thus, a few days passed, and the longawaited opening ceremony day arrived.
The opening ceremony was conducted publicly in the monastery so that all the people could see.
As it was the day when she would reveal herself as a butterfly before the citizens of the Empire for the first time, Asha got up early in the morning and dressed.
After bathing in a bathtub mixed with pearl powder, her skin seemed to glow.
Numerous servants clung to her, dressing her up.
They did not leave a single hair alone and massaged her shoulders and legs tirelessly, doing their best, serving snacks to keep her from getting tired during the long hours of adornment.
Asha wore a goddesslike ivory dress encircled with gold to make her vow before the god Etzahim.
The soft and light ivorycolored dress flowed naturally over her body, and the thin seethrough cloth connected to her wrists was elegant yet reminiscent of butterfly wings.
“My goodness, Lady Vanessa, you are so beautiful….”
It was then that all the servants, including Sonya, could not take their eyes off her, making a fuss over her appearance.
A sound of knocking along with a polite voice was heard.
“……It is I.”
The servants’ eyes widened.
They quickly stepped away from Asha’s side.
Asha spoke, looking only at the mirror in front of her, her expression blank.
“Come in, Your Majesty.”
As soon as permission was granted, Karaf opened the door and entered, looking a bit tense and rigid.
He, too, was dressed for the blooming ceremony in the opposite manner to Asha, wearing black ceremonial clothes encircled with gold trim.
Black hair with black clothes, and blonde hair in ivory clothes, the two looked like a perfectly matching bride and groom ready to take part in a ceremony.
As the servants praised the two from the side, Karaf’s shoulders rose high, but he too couldn’t take his eyes off Asha’s radiant appearance.
The ivory dress gleamed faintly in the sunlight, dazzling to the eyes, and the slightly braided side hair shone beautifully as if woven with gold thread.
His red eyes trembled with indescribable emotions.
He had believed this day would never come in his lifetime.
After several fruitless blooming ceremonies, he had let go of even the little hope he had.
The blooming ceremony had long become a meaningless, formal annual event for him.
But finally, the butterfly had flown to his side, and he was so moved that he stood speechless before Asha for a long time.
Asha broke the silence, noticing something in his hand.
“What is that?”
“Ah.”
Only then did Karaf come to his senses, quickly raising his hand.
In his hand was a crown made of various flowers.
“I wanted to place this on you myself.”
He carefully placed the crown on Asha’s long, elflike braided hair.
Once he let go, he again couldn’t take his eyes off her for a long while.
It seemed that even all the goddesses in the world could not rival the beauty of the woman before him.
Asha asked calmly,
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“Yes.”
When she looked at him silently, he sighed slightly and spoke honestly.
“……No. Actually, I couldn’t sleep at all.”
Karaf hesitated for a moment, closed his mouth, and then opened it again.
“You are free to roam the palace after the blooming ceremony. From today, I will lift the surveillance.”
“…….”
Asha simply bowed in silence, without responding.
Though infinitely calm, she seemed a bit different from a few days ago.
Her calmness and silence felt strange and unsettling to Karaf.
He added, as if making an excuse,
“……It was all to protect you. Please let go of your resentment towards me. From today on, I will truly give you only the best and make you happy as an empress.”
But then, the chief attendant called from outside.
“Your Majesty, Lady Banessa. It is time to proceed to the monastery.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

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.]
