Completely enveloped by the bliss of sleepiness, Lulu is completely unaware of his surroundings. The calming wind that still blows continue to lull him until a noble man was seen slowly taking a step towards the hammock where the lazy Lulu is sleeping still unconscious.

The aristocratic man saw the strands of slightly curly hair hanging from the hammock, seeing this his aid tried to wake the unrespectful man sleeping in the emperor's favorite hammock but calmly prevented by the emperor's hand.

" But your majesty, this is clearly a sin. Sleeping in the emperor's favored hammock, death is the only appropriate punishment "

" It's okay, I don't mind " The emperor said while looking at the man.

Sleeping soundly, the long eyelashes of Lulu is totally evident, his unmoving pouty lips with a natural cherry colored is really fascinating. The winds blows again, some of his hair strands moved to his face. He's vulnerable, unknown to him he was already being stared by a pair of sharp eyes with an unknown meaning.

Just before the banquet started, when the emperor was speaking. Lulu already drawn the attention of this noble man towards him without his knowledge. When the emperor is talking it's a must to put everyone's attention to the highness but it's not the case for this particular person. Lulu is not looking respectfully to the emperor yet a complete boredom is shown in his face earning the Emperor's attention.

Instead to be annoyed or feel offended the Emperor was amused. Creating different facial expressions, doing worthless things like plucking out the petals of the flowers which was decorated and tasting it being curious to what it taste like, making a delight face and tasting it again.

ppft he liked it The emperor thought. Since then the emperor's eyes was never taken off from that small figure of Lulu. Seeing him tried to escape multiple times until he finally succeed, the Emperor was truly entertain. And he wants for of this interesting fellow.

So he followed him.

Seeing Lulu unguarded, he touch the strands of hair in lulu's face moving it away. He saw his complete face, beautiful is the only word he could describe.

Attempting to touch again the soft cheeks, the sleeping man flinch and moved in an unsightly posture half of his body is almost falling off.

The all mighty emperor chuckle, he is really amused by whatever this man is doing.

On the other hand, the banquet is almost coming to an end and the older brother, calmly walk outside trying to find where could his little naughty yet very adorable baby brother have been sleeping.

Knowing lulu he is sure, he is in someplace very comfortable. As he walk continuously he is already in the palace's garden and he was flabbergasted when he saw the emperor together with his aid standing beside the hammock.

Facing the back of the emperor, only his aid, Lee saw him. Kneeling he introduce himself informing his presence to the emperor.

" Long live Emperor "

The emperor just take a glance at him and then put his sight again to where it was previously placed,  which is the sleeping lulu.

Still unaware that his precious brother is in the hammock of the emperor. The big brother continue to kneel.

"Why are you here? "

"Your majesty my answer to your question is, I'm currently searching for my youngest brother which I believe somewhere is sleeping.  Pardon my rudeness if I ever offend you walking in your garden "

" Is your brother really fond of sleeping?  "

"yes your majesty,  and because of this he is frequently in trouble but rest assured, your majesty he is a sweet child"

" hmm..  " The emperor respond.

" Rold Althelstan, your youngest brother is sleeping in the Emperor's hammock " Lee said earning a widen eyes from Rold.

Rold kneel immediately even lower. " forgive my youngest brother your majesty, he is really ignorant but he doesn't mean any harm. If not forgiven I, his older brother will shoulder it. " Rold said with fear. This definitely an offend for the Emperor!

"Raise Rold Athelstan, I don't intend to punish your brother nor you. "

with relieveness Rold exclaim a relief sigh " This servant of yours is in debt in your majesty, Thank you for sparing mine and my youngest brother "

" Instead I want to know his name " Both the aid and Rold suddenly look at the emperor.

"Lucius Athelstan your majesty, but he is known to be called Lulu" though full of curiosity Rold didn't ask why would the Emperor would like to know the name of his lazy brother.

The emperor just smiled meaningfully and muttered lulu though it was not seen by the two other people.

"You should take your Brother"

"yes your majesty" Rold stand up ready to take his brother.

The two froze, Lee and Rold because the Emperor suddenly moved ellegantly and get the still sleeping Lulu carrying him bridal style and faced the older brother.

" y-your majesty you don't have to- " Rold was cut off by the emperor.

" Silence " The emperor said getting annoyed by these two's reaction. He did this because he wants to because who knows when we will again see this amusing man. Thinking about this The emperor can't help but to feel a little disappointed.

The Emperor look at the sleeping young man in his arms, it's really a pity  he still want to know this man more.

Giving the sleeping body to the arms of his big brother The emperor felt like he doesn't want to give him yet.

" I'm really grateful to your majesty,  it's truly a regret but may I ask this servants to be excused? " Rold ask bowing while holding his brother firmly to his arms.

The Emperor didn't respond immediately instead his extend his arms and touch the face of the sleeping Lulu gazing at him not saying anything .

"ehem your majesty" Lee said making the Emperor awake from his thoughts.

The emperor just sigh regretfully and moved his hand away.

" you may "

Seeing the regretful face of the Emperor, Lee can't no longer voice out his thoughts " Is your majesty interested to the youngest brother called Lucious ?"

" Lee, make Lucious Athelstan one of my harem " Lee's question was answered indirectly.

" I want to see him and spend more time with him, so why would I regret letting him go If I could just make him mine " The emperor thought

" y-your majesty? " Lee was still flabbergasted on what the Emperor has just said.

" You heard me Lee, I want him in my harem make his room immediately. Separated from other and I want it as soon as possible " The Emperor firmly said and walk away leaving Lee still shocked.
