'Oh, what should I do...!'
Her mind began to fill with a mixture of ecstasy and confusion.
Julia neither pulled away nor remained calm, but hugged him and kissed him dizzyingly.
Then, finally, the moment when Endymion lets out a lewd moan while rubbing the tip of his tongue.
"Stop it!"
Julia took her hands off his hot, stone-heavy thighs, pulled away from his lips, and stepped back quickly. Endymion stared at her through his disheveled clothes.
She didn't know there would be two prizes.
"I... I didn't mean to do that! I just wanted to kiss you!"
Julia stumbled backward.
No. I didn't do it on purpose, it was a mistake!
Then, as Endymion completely untied the cravat from his crumpled clothes and threw it away, he grabbed the veil with a thoughtful face.
"Well, I'll go first, so you come back later!"
"Yes. I'll calm down and go."
Julia covered her face and ran out of the curtain at the calm reply in a voice still filled with heat. Endymion's soft laughter, flowing out through the fluttering curtains, followed her.
"Ah!"
As it happened, that sound was playing in her ears, mixed with the moan she had just heard, and Julia's face turned red as if it had been soaked in water as she ran over.
***
In the end, Julia couldn't go straight back to the ballroom and had to go outside.
Everyone was dancing freely with their partners, and the atmosphere was festive and full of laughter and enjoyment, so she was able to say she was going to take a short break and leave.
Julia, who had bitten the maids following her, sat down on a recamier placed for resting in the middle of a large, empty hallway to cool off.
"Oh, really!"
Seriously, absolutely, I didn't even think about it that much. I accidentally touched it because I was distracted for a moment... Ugh, let's just forget about it!
Julia jumped up from her seat, covered her mouth, and screamed silently. It was a chaotic scene that would have made anyone who saw it think she was doing gymnastics in the moonlight.
"Your Majesty?"
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps and a person appeared. Julia was startled and quickly straightened up.
The woman who had approached her quickly lowered her eyes and bowed politely.
"There you are. Your Majesty! I received an urgent order to bring You here."
"Me?"
Julia asked curiously.
What is the Queen's urgent need during the ball? Did something come up?
"That is."
The woman took a step closer and paused for a moment.
Julia tilted her head, then asked, realizing that it was her first time seeing the woman's face.
"Who are you? I think it's the first time I've seen you."
The woman lowered her head as if surprised. Then she answered in a flustered manner, saying she was sorry for not introducing herself first.
"I apologize, Your Majesty! I am the second Prince's maid who accompanied the Plesion delegation. I was asked to do a favor, but I was told it was urgent, so I became impatient and please forgive my rudeness!"
Somehow, the tone was a bit awkward. Although the language used was the same continental language, the accent was different in each country, so this kind of thing happened often.
High-ranking nobles and royalty knew how to speak foreign languages perfectly, but servants and commoners often had trouble expressing themselves.
Julia looked at her, who seemed somewhat inadequate for a royal maid, and nodded slightly.
"Who is looking for me?"
There were only a few people who would ask for Semele's Queen.
Wait, it's Mion, is he?! Julia asked, looking at the maid with wary eyes.
Then the maid answered, bowing her head.
"He is the Minister of the Interior of Ametrine!"
"What?"
Brother? Julia tilted her head at the unexpected words.
She didn't get a good look at Killian because she ran out of the ballroom and hurried down the first-floor hallway, but it didn't seem like anything had happened. Isn't he in the ballroom now?
"Why? What happened?"
"I don't know much about that... He just urged me to tell the Queen that he had something to tell you immediately. He told me to tell you that he would be waiting in the garden!"
The nervous maid kept talking without making eye contact. Julia's eyes widened and she quickly got up from her seat.
It seemed like something really serious was going on since she wasn't even a maid from the Ametrine delegation, but a completely foreign maid like Plesion was coming to find her.
By any chance, is there something wrong with the ring...!!
This was the only reason he had to rush to find her. They were the only ones who knew about the ring's secret.
Julia nodded urgently and told the maid to go ahead. The maid bowed deeply and guided her.
The royal gardens were dark at night, despite the luminous lanterns. Today, it felt even darker than before, as the castle was much brighter due to the coming-of-age ball.
The garden she was visiting now was a public space where all visitors staying at the castle could freely enter and exit.
But now everyone was inside the ballroom, making it quieter, louder, and darker.
"Brother, no. Is Lord Oberon okay? Was his complexion dark?"
Julia asked urgently behind the maid, who was about to enter the deep inner path of the garden without hesitation. The maid lowered her head.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What? How unwell is he? Did you call the doctor?!"
"No, he told me to bring the Queen first..."
Ah. Julia quickened her pace, her face pale. The high heels were uncomfortable, but she was worried and couldn't stand it.
"Then you should go and see the doctor. No, just wait a minute."
If she calls the doctor, her brother might find out that he's a wizard. But if she doesn't do any emergency treatment and he collapses like before!
Julia, who was about to run past the maid in a hurry, struggled to control her pace and walk.
The moment we entered the deep greenhouse, the maid spoke carefully in a low voice
.
"Your Majesty, that is not the case."
Julia, who had been picking out the most secretive of the royal doctors, reflexively turned her head.
The maid who had been following closely behind her lowered her head just before their eyes met and whispered.
"Um, I don't think you need to call the doctor."
"What?"
At the unexpected words, Julia slowed her pace and looked back.
"There are a lot of eyes watching the hallway, so a place where the two of us can be alone would be good. The greenhouse deep inside."
"Ha, I know. But I'll still need a doctor, so you go quickly and get my palace doctor..."
"No, that's not it."
The maid quickly waved both her hands.
Could it be that her brother was being stubborn? Telling her not to call anyone? Julia listened with a worried expression on her face.
"A place suitable for a secret meeting."
"Yeah..."
"He said that a dark and secluded place would be a good place to continue the passionate conversation that you couldn't finish earlier. He said that since there was no one in the greenhouse, it was the perfect opportunity, and told me to bring the Queen over immediately."
Julia answered softly as the words continued naturally.
"Yes?"
"Yes. So, go quickly before you miss your chance, Your Majesty. I have been paid handsomely by the Minister of the Interior, so I will keep this matter quiet."
The maid urged her on, asking what she was doing Instead of going quickly.
Julia walked slowly, fiddling with the hem of her skirt. The maid quickly followed behind her.
Step by step.
"You have thought well, Your Majesty! In fact, a political marriage is not enough to satisfy your desires. Just do whatever you want."
The maid brightened the mood with her bright voice.
Julia smiled faintly and nodded her head widely enough to be seen from behind.
"You know very well. Desire naturally clouds a person's reason."
So that no one notices that she is taking big strides.
"Of course! I fully understand your presumptuous words, Your Majesty. I too had a fiancé whom my family had intended to arrange for me, but it never came to fruition. Well.. what a thing called desire."
"Why, do you also have other desires?"
While they were talking, Julia arrived at the greenhouse.
Julia asked curiously, her walking pace slowing down. The maid responded with a chuckle.
"It's similar, Your Majesty! So don't feel guilty and enjoy yourself to your heart's content."
The maid approached, narrowing the distance between them as if she were going to open the greenhouse door herself.
Julia asked as if she hadn't noticed anything.
"I wonder if you're similar to me. What kind of desire could you have that didn't come true with your fiancé?"
"Oh my, you two know each other so well! But more than that, the Minister of the Interior is waiting. Come inside quickly...!"
Crunch.
With a cocking sound, the revolver slipped out from under the dress and spun around to aim behind her.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Her breathing became ragged as she tried to pretend to be surprised. The maid grabbed the hem of her dress to her chest and tried to calm her panting breathing.
"It was a desire that broke the engagement."
Julia didn't miss it and put back the hem of her voluminous skirt that she had walked away from.
The leg holster that had been secretly placed on the Queen's thigh disappeared completely. The maid, who had grasped the situation, opened her eyes wide.
"Could it be something like this?"
Julia aimed at the maid with a perfect posture.
"You said you had a desire that you shouldn't have."
The maid's face was distorted grotesquely.
The extended muzzle gleamed. Julia spoke calmly, holding the revolver with one hand gracefully across the night air.
"I knew it wasn't over."
"Cough."
The maid's face flushed as she took a step back as if the hot soup was boiling over her face.
Did you use a magic tool? Julia opened her mouth without showing any sign of agitation.
"The investigation was concluded with the conclusion that it was definitely the work of a mutant. The evidence was so perfect that there were no gaps."
Cough.
The maid let out a harsh cough and glared at Julia.
"...I thought you were a bear with a bit of brain power."
In the middle of the melting skin of her face, her red lips were torn apart.
"Now that I look at it, it was a fox sharpening its claws."
Suddenly.
The bones, which had reached their limit, trembled and returned to their original form.
Julia watched the scene and replied.
"I'm not so naive as to not know that the more perfect something is, the more you should be suspicious."
"Well, it's naive of a woman to want to enjoy herself with a new man because she's not satisfied with her husband. It's something that even Groven, who was passing by, wouId laugh about."
I guess Minister Ametrine really liked you? Judging by the way you followed me around so defenselessly.
The provocative voice whispered openly, and Julia responded calmly.
"Shut up."
"Ugh."
The bones were reconstructed, the hair color changed, and the clothes she was wearing were torn with a strange sound.
Finally, the tall, fleshy figure with flowing, glossy chestnut hair glared at Julia fiercely.
"Then... Your Majesty, who is not
innocent. What are your last words?"
Knock knock.
A familiar voice was heard, along with the strange sound of joints cracking.
"Chiara Soar."
At the unchangingly elegant voice. Chiara giggled, pretending to be exaggeratedly surprised.
"Who is the accomplice?"
