‘You must endure. That guy is crazy. But what can you do, the crazy guy is the emperor! It’s not for nothing that if you don’t like the temple, leave the temple. You must become a noble of this empire. Do not forget those who follow you and those you must protect. Please, Hasham.’
The disgusting Terion.
Hasham. Terion used that forgotten name appropriately.
Casius was born as a successor in a foreign country.
Hasham was a title for the king of a foreign country.
Surely, Casius was destined to be called Hasham.
Until his country was destroyed and absorbed by Histein.
The royal Casius became a slave and was dragged here, and the people of the foreign country scattered.
Casius had a responsibility to protect them as Hasham.
So, he endured.
Now it was a secret origin that should be forgotten and not known to anyone.
It was no secret that Casius was from a foreign country, but the fact that he was the heir to become Hasham was kept a strict secret.
Because Casius was the only surviving royal family.
Casius, enduring to the point of bursting his mouth, licked it with his tongue.
A foul smell pricked his nose.
Casius, sighing deeply, was about to move his steps.
Suddenly a hand appeared and grabbed his wrist.
It was a thin and small hand.
The grip was not strong, but Casius was unable to shake it off and was drawn in.
Because it smelled familiar.
Every time she moved, there was an illusion that wild roses bloomed wildly.
Empress Lenisha.
It was Lenisha.
Lenisha seemed to know this mazelike place well, and she grabbed Casius and went deep into the garden.
There was no follower.
And when they arrived at a place where the signs of life disappeared, Lenisha pushed Casius against the wall.
Her small figure compared to the giant Casius, where does that force come from?
Lenisha reached out and touched Casius’s chest.
Then she slowly lifted her head.
Casius didn’t know that he stopped breathing until his eyes met Lenisha’s.
“Sir Casius.”
Lenisha called Casius with a soft voice.
Again, his heart sank heavily.
The only person who was most strongly remembered in this palace, although she dominated his thoughts without leaving his head since the first day they met, it was the first time to have such a direct conversation.
Lenisha pulled up her lips.
It is no exaggeration to say that she endured today to make this time.
She endured Lexus’s folly and Canaria’s rudeness.
The nobles’ compassion was sent, and it was swallowed up.
Lenisha was a beast.
A beast that knows how to wait silently for the prey to let its guard down.
Lenisha brushed her neck and cheeks and asked Casius,
“Do you have any extra handkerchief?”
Lenisha fumbled in Casius’s pocket without any answer.
With an indifferent expression, she pulled out the handkerchief and rubbed her neck, cheeks, and earlobes.
Her white skin was stained red, but Lenisha didn’t hesitate.
“It’s stained. Whew.”
Lenisha folded the handkerchief and put it back in Casius’s pocket.
The sensation of the small hand entering and exiting the pocket made Casius grit his teeth.
Somehow, his body felt energized. It seemed like the heat was concentrating downwards.
“It seems like you have something to talk about……”
Lenisha said, trailing off as she tapped Casius’s chin.
The hand still pressed against his chest, and Casius was still unable to move.
Could this small hand, these gestures, be threatening?
A woman half the size of Casius!
……It was perfectly threatening.
It wouldn’t be strange if his heart stopped from this.
Casius turned his reddened face.
“Aren’t you curious?”
“……Yes.”
Casius spat out, barely catching his breath.
Lenisha stared at his chest with curious eyes, rising and falling.
Rexerus was also quite large, but seemed lesser than Casius.
He enjoyed handing his body over to Lenisha’s hands, like a tame animal.
It was different from Rexerus, who only seemed to swing ferociously.
‘Really cooking nicely.’
Lenisha let out a laugh.
“What is it? Hurry up and tell me. I chased you all the way here to hear that story.”
“……Why did you send these clothes? Do you know me? Why are you acting like you know me?”
“The reason for the gift of the clothes. I also have something to receive, so I sent these clothes.”
“Do you have something to request?”
Lenisha nodded her head.
“Do you know about the sword? I know a little more than others. What swordsmanship he uses, and how excellent his abilities are. I know that he likes sweets as well.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It seems like you are the one. The young knight my father praised.”
It was by chance that Lenisha recalled the letter exchanged with Duke Rotera.
She mulled over the name Casius and recalled that he was a knight under Duke Rotera.
Then, she remembered the story of the young knight who was outstanding with the sword.
Duke Rotera often mentioned the young knight with flaming red hair.
“My father said that you are like a burning life even on the battlefield. You have the power to attract attention. I remembered because he looked happy after a long time.”
Casius made a surprised face.
‘Me…… Did the Duke mention me?’
His heart swelled for a different reason.
