Side Story Chapter 3 "Your Majesty, it's me." Ratius's hand stopped while reading the newspaper. He slowly closed and opened his eyes at Selvia's voice, trying to grasp reality. "Selvia?" "May I come in?" "Of course." He immediately rose from his chair and neatly buttoned his shirt. Only after checking his unruffled appearance in the mirror did he open the door. "What brings you…-

Side Story Chapter 2 Who knew a month could be so short. Two months had passed since their trip. The time she spent with him was filled with happy memories. Ratius moved the detached palace back to its original location after a month as promised to her. Selvia walked through the garden while touching the golden ring on her finger. The warm sunlight still shone down. Though peace continued, a small anxiety remained within her…

Side Story Chapter 1 Aaaaagh! People scattered in panic and fled. The palace was filled with the stench of blood, and a small child covered in blood stood still, staring at the ceiling. The child couldn't understand what had happened in the current situation. Having faced death countless times, the child had barely escaped death's door once again. 'I don't want to live like this.' He didn't want to live…

Selvia slowly looked around her surroundings. Suddenly feeling something strange, she tilted her head to the side. "Your Majesty, it's not that no one can recognize us, it seems there's no one here at all." "That's the same thing." "Is there really no one here?" "Do you need people? I've prepared everything without missing anything." Selvia walked toward the mansion with a dazed expression as Ratius pulled her hand. "But this looks familiar somehow...... I must be imagining…

Fortunately, his claim about holding back hadn't been entirely false, as they managed to finish preparations in time and arrive at the council chamber. "Stop smiling." "How can I when it's so good." "......You're impossible." "You didn't even try to stop me. Rather, you asked for more." Selvia lifted her head to glare at him. "But we weren't late, right? I really did go easy." Selvia had no response to his quiet whisper. Because it wasn't wrong. As the doorkeeper opened the door,…

Selvia opened her eyes slowly. Though she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, she seemed to have slept soundly while being held in his arms. "I couldn't sleep at all." As soon as she opened her eyes, tension filled her neck at the voice near her ear. Her neck became stiff from the tension. She swallowed dryly and snuggled into his embrace with an innocent smile. "Your Majesty's embrace is so warm, I can't help but fall asleep." "Oh my. You even act cute at times like this." When…

"You couldn't wait for that?" "How could I bear it?" "It's a sickness." "Yes, so you need to cure me." Selvia shook her head and walked ahead. However, perhaps because his height gave him long legs, he quickly matched her pace beside her. "You'll fall if you walk like that." "I won't fall." "You need to look ahead to avoid falling." Selvia kept her eyes forward. Still, concerned about him, she glanced sideways occasionally. 'How can he not fall?' It felt more precarious for…

After Lady Hazel left, Selvia kept smiling while looking at Ratius. "Why are you smiling?" Selvia shrugged at Ratius's question. Looking at his face that couldn't hide his emotions, she said, "You look disgruntled." "I never said I was disgruntled." "You're very sulky right now." At Selvia's words, Ratius quickly composed his expression. However, his emotions had been exposed long ago. "Let's go on a picnic together next time." "We will. I plan to go every single day even if you…

Selvia's eyes flew open. She met blue eyes containing a dim light. "The sun hasn't risen yet, sleep a bit more." "Your Majesty seems to only put me to sleep lately." "Well, there's no rush." Selvia smiled softly at Ratius's leisurely tone. "That's true." "We haven't talked like this together in a while." "You seem to have forgotten our nightly whispers." "Did we?" Selvia nodded slowly. He held her even tighter. The gentle vibrations from his faint smile transmitted through her…

Fortunately, Ratius only helped with removing the corset. "This should be enough." "Thank you." Selvia smiled, closed the door, and entered the bathroom. As she immersed her now lighter body in the warm water, drowsiness washed over her. "The tension must be gone." She lifted the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes. Leaning back in the tub, she felt her body relax and breathed evenly. 'Now I just need to wrap up the banquet. It's been such a long few days.' Selvia planned to ask…
