When she felt like her burn scar was on fire and she was trapped in a pit of fire, she had to immerse herself in a tub of cold water for a while.
In winter, the situation was a bit better, but in other seasons, there was no other way but to cool her body with cold water.
But even cold water would become lukewarm after a few minutes.
When the fever was intense, hot steam would rise from the water even after only 10 minutes.
Why would this fever symptom appear now of all times?
She wanted to throw herself into cold water immediately.
Though she had taken a magic potion and her burn scar was not visible, the pain of burning was still present.
It even added a feeling as if someone was holding a fire close to her eyeball.
She could not see Emperor Rinel’s face properly.
“Don’t frown.”
He whispered as he wrapped his cold hand around her hot cheek.
It seemed he thought she was irritated.
“I feel too hot… like I am burning… that’s why…”
She barely managed to reply.
Emperor Rinel raised his eyebrows.
His cold blue eyes deepened and a flustered expression crossed his face.
Oh, did my words cause him to misunderstand?
“Excellent. The acting.”
Emperor Rinel lightly placed his lips on mine and muttered.
“No, it’s not like that, ah…!”
His grand and noble lips suddenly covered the gap in my opened mouth.
Oh my.
And with his soft and skillful kiss, my eyes gently closed.
In contrast, my stiff lips were being swept back and forth like a fool.
Surprisingly, the kiss with Emperor Rinel was like an oasis for me.
My mouth, which had been drying up, immediately refreshed like chewing a peppermint leaf.
The burning pain also significantly subsided.
How can this be…
I put my hands on his dignified face and actively accepted his movements.
First, let’s live and see.
After quenching my thirst for a while, the fever clearly subsided.
When I slowly opened my eyes, Emperor Rinel looked like he had been robbed.
His wandering eyes asked me, ‘Didn’t I say you didn’t have to be so active?’
I hastily pulled away from him.
“Hah…”
Emperor Rinel sighed long and gave me a fleeting look.
Looking outside the black seethrough curtain, I couldn’t see the priests who had stood there like ghosts.
“When did, everyone leave? They left without saying goodbye?”
“They left a while ago. While we were passionately kissing.”
He wiped his fidgeting lips with the back of his hand and said.
“…I apologize.”
For passionately kissing on my own accord.
Emperor Rinel, who had been silently looking at me, his face began to change as if he was in deep thought.
“That can’t be… what is it?”
Mumbling to himself, he placed his hands on both my shoulders and laid me down as if pushing me away.
“Yo, Your Majesty, all the priests have already left?”
As per the guidelines and the given characters’ names and genders:
I desperately spoke to him as I was lying down in the frozen bed.
“I know.”
“But why……”
“Just a moment, stay still. I have something to check.”
The distance between him and me was gradually narrowing.
