A lightly rich voice was pinched in my ear.
I just managed to shut my mouth, which almost popped out of my head, âYes?â by itself.
âWhen the hell?â
I can say it clearly. Ash was busy all day yesterday.
It was nothing special. Because he had to do things he couldnât handle while visiting the kingdom.
Iâm sure he has no sleep yet.
But in the meantime, he visited the Imperial City?
âOr did he have two bodiesâ¦â¦.â
Otherwise, I was speechless about something that was too impossible. The Emperor looked at my face and again felt indescribable.
Then suddenly, he changed the subject and threw his words.
âWas it the Kingdom Viroz?â
âYes?â
âThe rebels cut the queenâs throat.â
âAlready?â
I couldnât stop my growing eyes for a moment.
How many days has it been since I left the kingdom with three family knights?
It wasnât that long anyway.
I was inwardly surprised by the earlier result than I thought.
And at the same time, it was amazing for other reasons.
I didnât know I would hear it from The Emperorâs mouth.â
It is adjacent to the kingdom of Virgo.
I heard that there have been few exchanges in the past, but since it is a neighbouring country, he would have been looking at the dynamic status of the kingdom.
But even so, thatâs too fast. At that rate, itâs almost real-time, the Emperorâs ears are in the air.
Itâs amazing in a world without the Internet.
While I was thinking that in my mind, the emperor added words.
âThe place where the princess recently visited was the Kingdom of Viroz, right?â
âWhat do you not know?â
At this point, it may be my illusion that there is no Internet in this world.
Or he can use magic to make high-tech CCTVs. To be seriously suspicious, the emperorâs lips were flushed sweet again.
âIâd like to make a guess here. A princess who has been to the kingdom. A queen suddenly decapitated by the rebels The Duke who has since come to expel the princess from the family.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âAlthough I havenât met her, the queen of the kingdom of viroz had a rare catch, right?â
I see what you want to say. This person is also very sharp. I admitted immediately.
âYouâre right about what youâre guessing.â
Is there anything to hide? It was a story that would spread to the users before long.
âYou donât even pretend to deny it.â
âBecause itâs true.â
âHmm. I have a question, do you have a place to stay?â
I tried to grasp the meaning of the passage.
âOh, the question of being kicked out of the family?â
It might look like that now that Iâm in my family register. I answered with a thought.
âMy residence will not be changed.â
After answering that, I paused.
This is because a satisfactory smile immediately appeared on the face of the emperor who heard the answer.
There was a sense of relief in the fresh green eye that reminded me of the Crown Prince.
Comfortable?
âI see. Good job getting along with my little questions. Iâll send an invitation to the palace as soon as the man arrives.â
âIâm glad.â
Leaving the words behind, the emperor turned around to see if he was going to leave the room. I bowed my upper body politely.
It was then that a murmur flashed through my ears.
âItâs not just a tricky distraction, itâs a rival of love. Thatâs why he got dumped.â
What?
âI canât help it if itâs that level of a rival. Now I understand. It makes sense.â
When I looked up unknowingly in embarrassment, it was after the emperor had already gone out the door.
I puffed my mouth as I looked at the big, colourful, dreary door.
My ears were suspicious.
âI donât think itâs right now that youâve been wondering why your son got dumped, and finally youâre relievedâ¦â¦â¦.â
Soon the heat flared up to the earlobe.
This time I flapped my hands against my face in a room that no one to watch.

I was going to meet Ari immediately after finishing my business in the imperial palace.
I couldnât be the only one who could have known the coincidence and the good news that I got through the Emperor today.
But I couldnât face Ari even though I ran to Graceâs home for a month.
âFever?â
âYes, she usually doesnât have it but nowâ¦â¦â¦.â
The employee of his own employer looked worried. I stared at him embarrassedly and asked.
âSince when?â
âShe has been like that since the day before yesterday. Itâs been three whole days.â
âWhat about the doctor? Do youâ¦â¦.â
âIâve even called the most prominent doctor in the capital, and heâs consistently saying he doesnât know the cause. Itâs a bit of a curse.â
I swallowed back the words, I was trying to say that I would lend my family doctor if it was okay.
Although the doctor is as competent as he is, it was unlikely that he would outperform the most renowned doctor in the capital.
ââ¦â¦please send me a message if thereâs anything I could do.â
âOkay, Princess.â
I had no choice but to turn around the birch with a sombre look.
Sir Davery Glanced at my gloomy face and opened his mouth.
âSheâll be all right.â
âIs that so?â
âOf course. A frame that suddenly falls, a falling treeâ¦â¦ she had survived such bad luck, and canât stand for such feverâ¦â¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
âIt canât happen.â
âWell, thatâs right.â
Sir Daveryâs voice was so sure that I felt a little relieved unintentionally.
âYes, Iâm sure sheâll be okay.â
Everyone suffers from an unknown body ache at least once.
In Ariâs case, itâs a bit of a shame to be defenceless while sheâs sick, but Dylan will be by her side.
I left her house and returned to the mansion.
After returning home, I changed my clothes and went to see Ash right away.
I knew he was busy, so I didnât want to bother him on purpose, but if he could afford to travel to and from the Imperial Palace, the story is different.
âAsh.â
When I arrived at the door of his office, some mischief came up.
I called Ash in a very small voice.
I didnât knock, so this whisper wouldnât make my presence known through that thick door.
The guard guarding the door looked at what I was doing with a curious look.
âDo you have a bad throat, my lady? If you call him that smallâ¦â¦.â
âShh.â
Oh, this guy doesnât know whatâs going on.
I quickly pulled up my index finger and put it on my lips.
But then the door of the office opened.
âWhat are you doing not coming in?â
ââ¦â¦.â
I took off my finger and instead stuck out my lips a little dissatisfied.
Oh, itâs failed.
âI tried to pop the door open in secret.â
After calling a few times in such a small voice that you canât hear, Iâd naturally open the door saying, âIâm going in because I called you.â
When he asked me why I came in without telling him, then Iâd said that I called him, and I was going to tell him that he didnât hear me.â¦.
Hold on. I was thinking and suddenly found a problem with my plan.
âSurprisedâ This part. Will Ash be surprised by that?
â¦he wouldnât be surprised, would he?
When I realized it, my regret suddenly disappeared. It was a prank that wasnât supposed to happen. I didnât expect much.
I abandoned my lingering attachment to the failed prank and entered the Oval Office. The door closed behind me.
âAsh.â
âWhy?â
Closing the door and turning around, Ashâs calm face just deepened my conviction for my thoughts.
I asked helplessly, staring at the approaching ash.
âWhen are you surprised?â
âWhat?â
Iâm not surprised by these random questions. I sat on the armrest of the sofa in the Oval Office and opened my mouth.
âNo, you just never surprised. Almost. Usually, mostly. Do you ever get surprised?â
Iâm surprised if the soup in my mouth is hotter than I thought, but itâs hard to imagine Ash surprised by that.
Ash was silent in his thought on my question. What, is he trying to figure out the answer?
He doesnât have to. As soon as I thought to add that it was a good thing to ignore, Ash leaned over me with the back of the sofa.
Then he whispered.
âIf someone suddenly kisses me.â
ââ¦.â
âThen I might be surprised.â
Hey, hey!
Iâm flattered. My heart fluttered. I answered, looking into my eyes, pretending not to be agitated.
âDonât make me laugh.â
âWhy? Iâm not lying.â
So thatâs it? I looked away for a moment and calmed myself by looking at the desolate office.
Then pretend to look at something else.
Then quickly kissed Ash on the lips.
Itâs my proud courage to steal lips, not cheeks. Uh, what does he think?
âAre you surprised?â
I asked with a slight sense of victory.
Then Ash, who had no surveillance response, replied like a lie.
âIf it was a kiss, Iâd be surprised.â
âWhat? This isnât kiâ¦â¦.â
â¦â¦I was trying to tell you if it wasnât a kiss, but I shut my mouth.
Yeah, thatâs it. Itâs just a kiss.
However, I didnât dare to make a proper surprise kiss. Moreover, it would not have been a surprise at this point.
ââ¦â¦itâs fine. But why do you call me sister again anyway?â
I caught the pod that passed by because it became difficult because of the shame of the situation.
Ash replied with a tone that somehow I knew how to straw it.
âBecause itâs too bad?â
âToo bad?â
âBecause there are only a few days left to call you by this title.â
