Liz clenched her fist with a determined look in her eyes. And…
“Your Majesty!”
At the sound of being called, Hershis turned around.
A young messenger, running vigorously from the end of the main road, appeared.
He was a young man who took care of miscellaneous tasks in place of the capable Ishaar, who had become the financial chief.
Finally stopping in front of Hershis, he gasped for breath and spoke.
“Your Majesty… If you were going to come back this early, you should have told me in advance… or at least… let me go out to greet you.”
In terms of being amiable, he was much better than Ishaar. Other than that, Liz still didn’t know much.
After catching his breath, the messenger examined Hershis properly.
The hunting vest, half-dyed with blood, and large red stains on the shoulders were vividly visible.
“Your… Your Majesty, are you okay? I’ll quickly call a doctor. Please wait a moment…”
“There’s no need.”
Hershis cut off the messenger’s fuss.
“This is boar’s blood. My bow broke, so I had to deal with it using a dagger.”
“Ah… I see. As expected.”
The messenger sighed deeply, relieved.
He was a young man who openly displayed all emotions on his face. That was precisely why Hershis had chosen him.
“What is the Empress doing?”
“Oh, I received a report an hour ago that she had received the memorial and went to bed early.”
“…Is that so?”
Hershis’ eyes momentarily glanced towards the thicket fence and then returned.
“Alright.”
“Will you be visiting the Empress’s palace today as well?”
“Of course.”
He said after a short pause.
“After I wash up. I can’t go with bloodstains.”
“Understood. I’ll quickly prepare the bathwater. Cold water should be enough, right, Your Majesty?”
Hershis blinked in agreement.
“Hurry, Your Majesty. I’ll light the way for you.”
The affectionate messenger spoke warmly and then lit a lantern to guide Hershis towards the palace.
Hershis’ gaze also naturally turned towards the illuminated area.
Then, the strange uneasiness he felt a while ago faded away.
‘It must have been a needless suspicion.’
He briefly considered what was behind him.
‘Reiz is not here, after all.’
He didn’t want to waste any more time unnecessarily.
I wanted to go and wash quickly. And, I wanted to go to Liz.
“The things over there are probably just some mice that my uncle planted.”
Hershis knew that Duke Montaner had scattered his spies around the royal palace when he went out. Not revealing them on purpose was because they had their own value for use.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The courtier held up the lantern and meticulously illuminated the path for the lord. There was no need for that at all, but Hershis didn’t stop him. For today, he wanted to walk in the light, not in darkness.
“Whew…”
As the sound of footsteps grew distant, Liz let out a sigh.
With the tension released, her legs became weak. After taking one step, her knee buckled, and she sank down to the ground…
“Ouch!”
Forgetting about the wound, she screamed when the forgotten injury touched the sharp pebbles.
Pain surged as if exploding.
When she lifted her skirt a bit, even from my perspective, her knee seemed severely scraped.
“Ugh…”
Checking the wound, where blood was clotting, with her eyes directly made the stinging feeling even more intense.
Huu, huu, in a moment when Jayden, who was trying to calm the pain by blowing air, spoke.
“Oh, you’re badly hurt?”
Then, he raised his hand and covered her knee.
As the warm sensation spread like blood vessels dilating, a tingling sensation that made her want to scratch it soon followed.
When that feeling subsided, he took his hand away.
“Ah…!”
A sigh escaped involuntarily from Liz’s mouth.
In the spot where the flesh had peeled off and only scraps of skin and blood were sticking, there was not a trace of even a speck of dust.
Only a smooth and white knee stood out.
“It doesn’t hurt now, right?”
Jayden smiled gently and looked at Liz.
Liz nodded her head blankly.
It was a much more miraculous sight than what I had seen and felt before.
He now seemed like a chosen priest of a god. Until a while ago… he looked like a burden, helpless without treatment…
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank me.”
He smiled brightly and patted Liz.
“Are you hurt anywhere else?”
Although she was about to say “no,” Jayden was faster.
He reached out through the slightly sweaty bangs and, as if discovering something, reached out his hand.
“There’s a scar here? While I’m at it, I’ll treat it too.”
“No, you don’t have to!”
“…”
“I… you don’t have to do this.”
Liz remembered Hershis looking at her collarbone with puzzlement, saying he would go for a night hunt.
Though it might be possible to think that the kiss mark that was there disappeared, the scar on her forehead was not.
“Alright. I’ll leave that alone.”
Jayden didn’t ask further and withdrew his hand.
“By the way, you’re an amazing man. Your future husband. I was surprised. I’ve never seen such a perceptive person before.”

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.
