If demons appeared in the capital, it was Enrique’s concern or something to worry about.
Now he was preaching at the temple, so it would be strategically better to leave him alone and step in only if some mistake happened.
“Well then… alright.”
“After finishing the meal, shall we go?”
“Yeah.”
Teaching Merem something was quite enjoyable.
He excelled at everything and could do anything at an advanced level.
As I was leaving the restaurant, I noticed Sukrel approaching from the other side of the corridor.
“Your Majesty!”
Sukrel rushed to me with a wide smile and bowed deeply.
“Rise, Sukrel.”
“Your Majesty, I couldn’t sleep at night, so I came here. Have I caused much disturbance?”
Despite being early in the morning, Sukrel was all dressed up. It seemed like he had applied makeup too.
Not being able to fall asleep is probably not true, but if he dressed up to that extent, he must have woken up early.
“Greet him, Sukrel. He’s a noble from Quan.”
“Oh! I humbly greet the esteemed person who resides in such a high place. I am Sukrel, who came from the Seventh Kingdom.”
Although it was commendable to decorate oneself like a flower, I introduced Merem rather than praising him.
If they were going to live together in the Imperial Palace, they needed to know clearly who and what position Merem was.
Even if Merem was a noble rejected in my country, he was undoubtedly a member of the imperial family.
“One should greet properly even in my absence.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will remember, I’ll remember.”
“Alright. Raise your head.”
Sukrel’s attitude was full of charm and quite polite.
He seemed to have better social skills than I thought, not behaving arrogantly as much as I expected.
As I passed by Sukrel, I calculated where else he could be useful.
Gabriel could take care of animals, and Therion was in charge of the library, but Sukrel didn’t seem to have anything specific to do.
Except for warming my bed.
But I preferred to sleep alone.
“Is the author part of the government?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay.”
I was curious about Merem’s reaction, but it was unexpected.
Without saying anything more, he opened the door to the hall.
“Please eat.”
“You using honorifics doesn’t suit you at all.”
Perhaps Sukrel was not subject to any boundaries.
Well, it was quite amusing to overly concern oneself with commoner Sukrel.
“Now, put your hand on my waist. Yes, like that.”
“Nyx’s dance is difficult. It has a set form.”
“Quan’s dance has no form?”
“We just dance freely whenever the mood strikes.”
Merem’s hand touched my waist.
As his firm, muscular shoulder touched my hand, I adjusted the posture more carefully, creating a comfortable angle.
“There’s no music, but let’s try to match the rhythm.”
Dancing meant getting physically closer to the partner.
We could almost touch lips, turning a few times, separating, and then getting close again. Meanwhile, whispers followed the pushes.
It was only natural for feelings to sprout while touching skin and exchanging glances.
If the partner was none other than Merem, even more so.
‘Did I teach him to dance for no reason?’
Come to think of it, Merem always stood against the wall whenever a banquet was held.
It used to be because he was still a minor, but now?
I somehow felt displeased imagining him politely dancing with peers.
If Derek were to hold hands with a noble lady and step onto the dance floor, I would sincerely support him, but Merem…
‘Ugh, what kind of complicated feelings are these?’
Blaming myself, I suddenly grinned.
But me, I’m a demon, aren’t I?
It’s the devil’s duty to selfishly seek help, so what’s wrong with this?
“Hey, Phaibel is over there. Looks like Charlotte is with her.”
In an instant, Merem pointed out the window, interrupting my imagination at the right moment.
Looking in the direction he indicated, it was indeed Phaibel and Charlotte.
“Charlotte looks shy.”
Not that it wasn’t true, but Charlotte genuinely looked delighted.
When did they get so close?
It was a fascinating fact I had no idea about.
Unaware that we were watching, the two were chatting, laughing, and having a good time.
And then, at that very moment…
“!”
Oh my goodness!
Charlotte grabbed Phaibel’s collar and, instead of pulling her toward herself, yanked her in my direction!
