“I know it’s not appropriate for me to say this, as I am already a concubine, but wouldn’t Your Majesty close your eyes just a little? Our master… No, only our Empress loves you.”

In the midst of Rosie pouring out her emotions, I gauged Rinel’s reaction. He had somehow come very close to me.

His expression was pure confusion, but fortunately, his face, which had been rigid, seemed to have loosened more than before.

In contrast, Prince Tesler looked as if he had lost his soul.

I wanted to grab Prince Tesler by the collar and throw him off the top of the temple tower right away, but I missed the timing due to Rosie’s thrilling confession.

Although there was only one person confessing love, there were multiple ears listening to it.

Like an audience watching a play, I began to anticipate Rosie’s next words.

While trying to take a sip of champagne in suspense, Rinel snatched the champagne glass from my hand and poured it into his own mouth.

“I absolutely don’t ask you to accept my heart. It’s not like I’m confessing because I want to be matched with Prince Norton… ”

Contrary to the shocking content, Rosie’s voice was very shy and sincere.

“But since I’m confessing with my life on the line like this, you will at least hold my hand, right? Since my humble hand, which has only turned pages all my life, looks pitiful.”

Making an unfounded request for physical contact that sounded like a threat,

“Even though I know a lot… Well, I know too much… Uh, because I know too much… I act all arrogant and useless… But still!”

After not hesitating to blame herself, she eventually continued,

“When I see you passionately swearing all the time, ‘Wow, she lives so passionately,’ I think you look cute. So, what I mean is… I love you, Prince.”

“!”

Although the flow of confession had come a long way, the ending was still the word ‘love.’

Rosie seemed quite drunk…

There was no doubt there wasn’t much alcohol, but it seemed like she was intoxicated.

Rinel and I glanced at each other while listening to Rosie’s strange confession of love for Prince Norton.

He had a suppressed smile, and seeing that, I quickly averted my gaze, feeling like even I might start laughing.

His laughter came out as a snort and tickled my cheek.

We all naturally stared at Prince Norton, the subject of this confession.

“If you keep this up, I’ll faint.”

Muttering, Rinel snatched the champagne glass from Prince Norton’s hand and took a sip.

Even after his champagne glass was snatched, Prince Norton’s hand holding the glass remained suspended in the air.

An awkward silence ensued.

Except for Rinel, no one dared to intervene in the shocking scene of a concubine confessing to a foreign prince.

Oh, except for one person.

After Rosie coughed a few times, she continued speaking.

“Prince, if this matter becomes known, won’t it be difficult for both Empress and me?”

At Rosie’s words, Rinel gave me a sidelong glance.
“Still! There is an old saying that the power of love is greater than God and even greater than Wyvern, isn’t there? I believe Your Majesty, who is as splendid in heart as in appearance, will understand!”

Was there an old saying that “the power of love is greater than Wyvern”? I tried to recall, but it was a sound I heard for the first time in my life.

Rosie’s shadow, which had been stretched out for a long time at the corner of the temple building, was in a state of tightly clenched hands.

The shadow slowly began to move forward.

Finally, is she coming this way?

Everyone’s gaze focused on Rosie’s shadow, which was moving.

“Oh my, dear heavens, even Your Majesty was here! Caught red-handed, Moi~?”

Rosie, walking lightly and jumping around like a child, stopped and blinked in surprise when she saw Rinel.

No, to be precise, she acted surprised.

Rather, I was more surprised by her awkward acting.

“Rosie, your courage is truly… bold.”

Rinel said with a serious face, pretending to be impressed.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Rosie shouted with a voice filled with emotion, as if she had received tremendous praise.

Moreover, lifting the hem of her dress almost to her chest, she kneeled down as if her body was almost touching the ground.

“Does it hurt?”

Rinel squinted his eyes and looked at Rosie’s smiling face as if observing her.

“Actually.”

Rosie replied with a tone that sounded overly healthy.

“It doesn’t seem that way at all. Where does it hurt?”

“I have a broken heart.”

“…Well then, acknowledged.”

He nodded quietly with a momentarily stunned expression.

“The one who received the confession should say a word too, right?”

Rosie turned her gaze and, with a teasing smile, asked the frozen Prince Norton.

Goodness…

Although that sight looked somewhat creepy, I silently observed the situation.

“Why are you… doing this to me? Rosie Mama.”

Prince Norton’s expression was sullen.

“What did you say? What’s wrong with her… No, what’s wrong with me that I’m talking with such a chubby expression?”

Rosie scolded her target, who had just been confessed to, while glaring at him.

“Ugh…”
