The small snake’s body moved diligently.

Changing into this form was more uncomfortable than expected.

Because of its small size, the distance it could cover at once was short.

“I should have transformed into something a bit bigger.”

Casius stuck out his small tongue and sighed.

No, if he did that, he might have drawn attention and ended up in a difficult situation.

Red scales were easily noticeable to people.

Casius moved his body diligently.

Nevertheless, if he went a little further, someone would be waiting for him.

Casius moved his small and cute tail earnestly.

“Oh!”

As promised, Kien was waiting for him.

Casius suddenly coiled around Kien’s leg.

“Ah!”

Startled to the point where his eyes almost popped out, Kien quickly covered his mouth.

A red and small snake was crawling up his leg.

“…Your Majesty!”

Kien exclaimed in a sleepy voice.

“A gesture or… No. You could at least say something… No!”

Kien shook his head violently.

Come to think of it, Casius couldn’t currently make any sounds or gestures.

Casius expressed his displeasure by coiling around Kien’s neck.

“Kek! Anyway, I was surprised…”

Casius sighed.

Actually, transforming into a human body and moving around alone was the best way, but the problem was when he returned to being human.

Snakes were animals that wore nothing on their bodies except scales.

In contrast, humans?

Humans… definitely had to wear something on their bodies.

It was quite different from snakes.

Because of such differences, there were some issues when he turned back into a human.

“Hmm.”

Casius, still clinging to Kien’s body, raised his head.

The wind that rustled as Kien quickly passed by Casius hid his embarrassment.

Lenisha… Lenisha knew nothing.

“Casius. You can turn into a human, right? Wouldn’t it be easier to communicate when you return as a human?”

Lenisha truly knew nothing…

“Hmm. Shouldn’t you show it to me just in case?”

He couldn’t show anything embarrassing in front of those eyes.

Casius twisted his body.

The embarrassment from that time still seemed to color him red.

Now, fortunately, his scales were red, really, truly fortunate.

Casius entrusted himself to the wind blowing as he murmured.

“Lenisha, you’re… such a fool!”

(This is the time separator.)

Lenisha stood on the balcony for quite a while after Casius left.

Such cute thoughts could only be made by Casius.

The image of his small body twisting around still lingered in her eyes.

Lenisha touched the corner of her mouth, where laughter was abundant.

In just a few hours, Casius changed Lenisha’s mood.

Like a magician.
Whenever Casius was urged to try becoming human, he would quickly avoid eye contact and how adorable that was.

“You look like a court lady……”

The memory of him not saying anything and only flicking his small tongue remained.

Casius didn’t say anything, but Lenisha roughly understood.

When he returns as a human, he will probably be in a naked state without anything on.

If it were Court Lady Casius, he would probably be embarrassed enough.

Lenisha and Casius belonged to completely different categories.

If it were Lenisha, she would have probably teased Casius by using that fact.

Casius, on the contrary, couldn’t overcome his own embarrassment and hid, not his body but his spirit.

Lenisha burst into laughter.

Thanks to that, all the sadness flew away.

Thanks to Casius.

(This is the time separator.)

Casius called Kien and Luna.

They were busy spending their days communicating with bipeds.

Casius couldn’t forget that the palace he visited yesterday was empty.

Lenisha was alone there.

Of course, she was with Haylin, but both of them were beings that had never held a sword.

It seemed insufficient to protect their bodies in a similar situation.

“Luna, I have a favor to ask of you.”

Kien glanced at Luna.

Luna was making a playful expression.

Why Luna, of all people?

“Come inside once.”

Now that Casius knew the huge difference in status between him and Luna, Luna didn’t show any courtesy.

Kien couldn’t understand Luna. Why is she so unruly?

“I need you to be with Lenisha in the palace.”

“What?”

And that laxness was awakened in front of Lenisha’s name.

“What do you mean? Why would I go into the palace? Why would I go to a place where blood like that flows? I will never do such a thing until the bipeds return…”

“It’s also for the bipeds.”

Casius cut off Luna’s complaints.

“What does that mean?”

“I tied the fate of the bipeds along with mine to Lenisha. The most important thing for us is to protect Lenisha. But now Lenisha is alone in that vast palace. No one can protect Lenisha.”

“…Are you asking me to take care of your woman?”

“Huangfu can only stay in the palace.”

Casius said sharply.

Knowing that Lenisha was back in the empress’s palace made Casius’s blood boil upside down.

It felt like wanting to rush to Lexus right away and break that pretty head in two.

How dare you, put Lenisha back in there.

Unless it’s the mad Lexus, it’s absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

“So are you telling me to go to that woman?”
