"Azazel...?"He launched himself at me and wrapped his arms around me, tumbling both of us onto the soft bedsheets with his abrupt tackle.We laid there, softly giggling. I cuddled my body against his and gently stroked his back.Azazel tightened his grip and the room spun around us as he rolled us over.As he formed a naughty look and a copy grin, I found myself pinned beneath him. Then I notice that my heart rate has increased.Azazel intertwined his fingers in mine, forcing them into the bed, and dropped a succession of sweet kisses on my neck, speeding up the pace even further.(... I think I would fall more deeply if he kept doing this.)- My body was hurting in the morning, and I felt quite weary from the night before.(Well, given that we went two rounds, it's understandable.)I sighed to myself as I drew the covers even higher over my exposed body and waited for Azazel to arrive since he had work to

"Hey Louis."When I was still a young kid, I remembered asking something to my head butler, Louis Vaughn who acted as my father and took very good care of me.His gaze softened as he turned his head toward me, a smile on his lips."Yes, Your Highness?"He asked, staring me in the eyes, and I returned his gaze, unwavering."Why I don't have a mother? I want to have a mother too."His eyes widened significantly, and he knelt to equal my height, looking at me with a pained expression on his face."Why did you ask that, Your Highness?""... because brother Drystan mocked me for not having a mother."I tightened my grip on my attire, my gaze lowered. "... I want to have a mother too.."I murmured under my breath, didn't even dare to look at him in the eyes.  Now that I think about it, I'm curious about his expression when I was lowering my head.Maybe he was pitying me, or maybe he

My heart was racing the entire day after my unexpected confession as I tried to keep my distance from Azazel.But, before long, the sun sets and the moon rises into a sky ablaze with brilliant stars.(I can't believe I just confessed to him.)I sat in my room, awaiting his return. Because I just declared my love for him, tonight will be different, and it will be awkward for me.When the door opened and Azazel entered the room with a brilliant smile on his face, my cheeks were still hot all over and my heart began to race even faster."Verena!"He rushed up to me as soon as he saw me and tackled me to the bed, surprising me."A-Azazel?!"My heart began to beat even faster as he titled his head and grinned so childishly that I was afraid it would explode.He drew himself away from me and dragged me in to sit next to him."I was surprised for you to come at me like that."I laughed as I looked him in the eyes,

"Please accept our apologies, Your Majesty. Please punish us for our irresponsibility. We don't deserve to serve you."Ethan and Edgar both bowed appropriately, their gazes fixed on the floor.I was in front of them, with the man who had snuck into my room the night before standing beside me.When I told the twins about what had happened, they felt terrible and blamed themselves for not noticing anything and putting me in danger.I reassured them that it was fine because the man was in need of help, despite the fact that the method he asked was a little overwhelming and I was on the verge of death.Of course, the twins were skeptical to believe this man who showed up, claimed to be a pirate, and requested my assistance.They're wary of him."Edgar, Ethan, I've previously stated that it's preferable if you don't make the same mistake again. Don't make me repeat myself."When they saw I was quickly losing patience, they both rais

When I presented Rho with an imperial knight uniform, his eyes widened in surprise. "T-this—" "It's the attire of an imperial knight. Wear that because you're going to the temple with me." His eyes sparkled the moment he was handed the uniform. "Wow~" I knew why he couldn't stop grinning. It was because he had sought numerous times to become a knight of a noble family but had always been rejected and discriminated against due to his social standing. And now he was given not only a regular knight's uniform, but the Imperial Knight's entire uniform. His fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the uniform I handed him. "We're arriving to the temple soon. You have excellent abilities, so I'm confident you'll be a good figure fitting for the Imperial Knights." "Oh my god—
