Having caught my gaze, Hadel responded with a serious expression, as if making an excuse.
“I might break a bone if you step on my foot.”
“That’s my line.”
Hadel shifted his toes slightly, and perhaps due to my long military service, my steps were quite vigorous.
“Well, I’m not wearing boots, so it shouldn’t hurt that much.”
Oh, maybe my side is more dangerous, as Hadel is currently wearing thick riding boots.
“I should be careful. Should I dodge like I used to avoid slimes?”
While contemplating this calmly, Hadel suddenly embraced me.
“Eek!”
Reflexively, I wrapped my hands around Hadel’s neck. Hadel chuckled softly.
Being so close, all I could see were slightly raised lips and the trembling of his Adam’s apple under my fingertips.
The laughter felt strangely ticklish, even reaching my shoulders.
“It’s so light, what’s the big deal.”
“Well…”
It’s not that light, to be honest.
Though I lean towards the slender side, being tall means my basic bone weight is quite high.
“Still, you should be careful; it might become a habit.”
Hadel, who had embraced me like this multiple times, laughed again.
“I like it when you rely on me like this.”
“I might become spoiled at this rate.”
Even our adoptive mother didn’t carry me around like this.
In response to my small complaint, Hadel answered in a low voice.
“I don’t mind if you become spoiled. I just need you.”
It was an irresistibly sweet whisper.
Happy times tend to pass quickly.
Although I thought I had obtained a good chunk of the day, it swiftly turned into night.
“Mmm.”
Marian emitted a faint moan in her sleep, and Hadel, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, pulled her closer to his body.
“Yeah.”
Whether it was due to the cold or some dream, she mumbled and snuggled deeper into Hadel’s embrace.
‘How cute.’
Seeing her sleep again like a baby made me burst into laughter. However, the laughter soon subsided.
As the capital drew near, Hadel’s heart became uneasy. It was all because of Marian.
‘What if Esben tries to take Marian away?’
Marian spoke nonchalantly, but in Hadel’s view, Esben’s obsession seemed more than ordinary.
Even with an ordinary lunatic’s obsession, a regular person would find it bothersome. It’s even more so when dealing with a lunatic who has lived for over a hundred years.
‘It’s not that I don’t trust Marian. It’s just that the obsession of someone so twisted is unpredictable.’
Hadel’s gaze naturally shifted to the deep pink gemstone hanging from his wrist, swinging back and forth.
At this moment, Marian was as anxious as Hadel. However, instead of transferring her own anxiety, Marian gracefully took into consideration Hadel’s feelings. This was while creating such a simple artifact.
The smooth pink surface felt as if she were always by his side. Hadel, brushing the surface with his thumb, sighed in pity.
‘I need to do something to protect her too.’
There was only one thing he could do for her. Only the power he possessed in this world.
Fire.
[Monster!] [Scary! Go away!]Hadel had never used fire to his advantage before. As memories of the past unpleasant experiences surfaced, he bit his lip.
But it was not as frightening as before.
‘It doesn’t matter if it’s a monster. As long as I can protect her.’
And he was no longer a monster. After meeting Marian, he created the magical gun, protected his subordinates with fire. Now, the people in the north no longer feared him.
‘I need to use even stronger power. Without hesitation.’
Against whoever Esben may be.
‘I will never lose.’
Hadel firmly vowed.
Under the warm sunlight, a round parasol was placed in the center of the garden.
And beneath the parasol, beautiful ladies dressed in various colors chatted like birds.
Formally, it was the Queen’s Salon hosted by the kingdom’s queen.
However, the one hosting the salon was the engagement partner of the Bird Prince, the esteemed Miss Cecil Forte.
The Forte family, which dared to marry into the royal family, was so illustrious that it was beyond imagination. Therefore, when the Bird Prince designated Cecil as his fiancée, the social circles were abuzz for a while.
“It’s quite romantic.”
“Don’t they make a perfect couple?”
“I never knew there was such a passionate side to our always calm Bird Prince.”
What benefits could the Bird Prince gain by engaging with the illustrious Miss Cecil from a prestigious family? Everyone thought the reason for their engagement was ‘pure love.’
So, the interest and reaction from the social circles were even more fervent.
If Cecil had any shortcomings after that, the excessive attention might have had a counter effect. However, Cecil followed etiquette like a proper etiquette teacher, and from the beginning, she spoke with a refined tone like a lady from a high-class household.
Moreover, as the queen had to fulfill various royal duties, Cecil naturally assumed a prominent position in the social circles.

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.
