Julia, who was tickled by the sight, lay down on her back and faced him.
"I like you."
"Huh."
It was her first confession. So it was sudden and awkward and not very cool, but Endymion was happier than ever.
His cold face was filled with warmth. Looking closely, his nape and the tips of his ears were also red. Above all, he kept whining to be talked to, like a cat purring for its owner to pet him.
Julia began to repeat, smiling bashfully.
"I like you, Mion."
"Me too."
At the affectionate voice, a fluttering warmth spread throughout her body. With a sweetness that made her feel like she was melting.
"No, I like it better."
As Julia closed her eyes and smiled, Endymion coughed in vain for the first time in a while. Julia smiled broadly as she saw the usually easygoing Endymion flustered.
It was hard to notice the emotion at first, but once she realized it, it came out like a tidal wave. It was so good that she wondered, "How can it be this good?'
"I wonder why I didn't know about it until now. I really like you so much. You're affectionate, delicate, cool, and handsome. Your eyes are as pretty as the ocean, and your nose and chin are as smooth as a statue."
Julia, who was playful, openly complimented his appearance. Endymion looked embarrassed or awkward and quietly lowered his eyes. His cheeks also seemed to have turned a little red.
"Sometimes you're cute. No, actually, you're cute quite often."
Julia reached out with one hand and touched the corner of Endymion's mouth. Endymion lowered his eyes and quietly accepted the touch, moaning.
"Tell me again what you said earlier."
"Hmm."
Julia leisurely traced Endymion's lips with her finger. A few seconds, which felt like hours, passed without any response. Endymion, who was saddened by this, opened his mouth first.
"I like it. So you say it again..."
"Kiss me."
Julia whispered. Not even a second later, Endymion was burrowing into the bed.
“Ah.”
A sweet sound leaked out between their interlocked lips. The two lips were tightly intertwined, thirsting for each other.
Julia acted more daringly than usual. The warm, bubbling heat inflated her body's desire.
She hugged Endymion's neck and pulled the back of his head toward her. Then Endymion kissed her as if he was going to devour her, taking all the breath out of her.
For a long time, the two kissed passionately on the bed. After quite some time, when their lips finally separated, Julia started to catch her breath.
Give me more.
An impulsive voice whispered. In the past, she would be embarrassed and hide it. But now, Julia was openly looking at Endymion's lips.
Endymion felt it and gritted his teeth so hard that his lower jaw bulged and muttered.
You're unusually active today.
"I like it. Yeah?"
Julia quickly whispered and met his eyes. It was a cute threat, saying, 'I gave you what you wanted, so do what I want.'
Endymion, without Julia's knowledge, gave a short laugh, putting more strength into the arm he was holding at his side.
"It seems like it will be difficult."
When the kiss didn't continue, Julia whined with a disappointed look on her face.
"Are you uncomfortable? Then do you want to lie down too? Oh... Well, it's a single bed, so it might be too narrow to lie down..."
"That sounds really, really dirty."
Endymion whispered softly.
Julia's eyes immediately widened.
"Ah, uh, um..."
It was obvious that she hadn't thought about it that far. Then, Julia felt him slowly pulling his arm out from around her neck, taking note of her reaction.
'I wonder why you were so proactive.'
It seemed like it was too much for him to do. Endymion tried to smile affectionately, trying to suppress the desire that was rising. Then, after he got up, he helped Julia sit up and hugged her waist.
"It was a good thing we had separate rooms."
Endymion muttered, pressing his lips to the white neck.
"Huh, Mion... I... I said I wanted to kiss."
Julia protested in a feeble voice.
Endymion pretended not to notice. Then he slowly and regretfully rubbed his lips against her jawline, neck, shoulders, and collarbone and muttered...
"If we shared a bed, it would have been unbearable."
"Why are you holding back... Ah."
Julia, who realized it too late, struggled to get away with a bright red face. She seemed to be conscious of his naked upper body and the towel barely tied around her waist, her body stiff.
Endymion chuckled softly, handed the water bottle back to Julia, and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Yeah."
When he pressed his lips below her collarbone, her struggling body stopped. Julia, surrounded by heat, began to melt and let out sweet sounds.
Endymion held on to the edge of the line, barely suppressing his lust that had reached its limit.
'When it's over...'
I vowed not to leave my room for at least three days.

"Huh? Your Majesty, I see you had a good night's sleep last night."
Boris, who had come down first, greeted her warmly. Julia smiled as she went down the stairs.
"Yes, I had a good rest. How was Boris?"
"It was really amazing. The bed was so soft that I fell asleep as soon as I laid my head on it! The beds on the rooftop were all made of straw and were hard. The beds in the accommodations I stayed in when I was dispatched to Semele weren't this soft... Huh?"
Boris was talking excitedly, and then he started laughing. Julia and Endymion, who had come down the stairs, stopped in front of Boris.
"Ahem. Your Majesty, it seems you are having an uncomfortable sleep.
Boris reluctantly pretended to care about Endymion. Endymion passed him by without saying a word and went out of the hotel first. Boris grumbled that he had spoken to him for no reason.
"Oh, really? You must have been uncomfortable because you were so used to only high-end beds."
At those words, Julia bit her lower lip and held back a laugh.
Now her face was bright and clear as if she had taken a tonic and full of life. In contrast, Endymion was dark and rough, as if he had stayed up all night.
Julia returned to her room last night, hugged by Endymion. But she was sad that the warmth that had enveloped her body was disappearing. So she held onto him and begged him to hold her until she fell asleер.
Endymion couldn't bear to tear her away.
So, Endymion held back his impulses and hugged Julia. He left only after Julia, satisfied, fell into a deep sleep and showed up in the morning with a grumpy expression on her face, as if he hadn't slept at all.
"You are very picky."
Boris, who had no way of knowing the circumstances, stuck out his tongue. Julia pretended not to know anything and tried to ignore it.
"Your Majesty, shall we go then?"
"Oh, yes!"
Julia nodded.
Julia's steps were very light as she left the hotel with Boris in the refreshing dawn. A bright smile that could not be hidden was on her face.
***
The gate was close to the hotel. The knights who had been escorting them from a distance had already prepared a carriage for them, and they arrived at their destination in less than three minutes.
"From now on, you two must go alone. Tell the Knights to step aside."
Boris spoke as he landed in front of the clear lake. As he, who had been dull and inexperienced, snapped like never before, the Royal Knight Commander, who had been insisting on close escort, hesitated.
"Stay back and wait nearby. I'll let you know when I return."
"Yes!"
The knights saluted ceremonially and left the lake. Julia watched with interest as the royal carriage, disguised as the Baron's, disappeared into the distance.
"Is there a gate here?"
The surroundings were quiet and deserted.
It was a warm atmosphere because the sun had just risen in the early morning, and the lake, as clear as a mirror, was just as it was in nature. Only the aquatic plants and trees that had grown naturally had taken root comfortably, making the scenery look like an illustration from a book.
"Yes. It's not very noticeable because of the background magic. Do you see it over there?"
Julia and Endymion looked where Boris had pointed. In the middle of a lake, neither too big nor too small, were aquatic trees that looked like they were hundreds of years old.
Among them, several long and thick branches were entangled and stretched out in an arched shape, forming the shape of a door.
"That tree is the gate. If you row the boat through the arched space, you will go straight to the magic tower.
"It's easier than I thought."
Endymion looked at the gate carefully and said. Then Boris, with a slightly hurt expression on his face, retorted that only magicians belonging to the Magic Tower can operate the gate.
"If you don't know how to use it. It's just an ordinary old tree. It's just a complex and delicate gate that looks ordinary because the magic circle is hidden by background magic."
Boris untied the dinghy tied to the lake shore, and just as Julia was about to ask if he could row, he waved his hand lightly and worked his magic.
Slap-!
The small boat floated into the air and then was immediately put into the lake.
"Did Boris do it?"
Julia opened her eyes wide in surprise. She had only used the magical power that had suddenly burst out and had never used such skillful magic before, so she was just amazed.
Boris waved his hand again, and the two oars suddenly rose and sank into the boat.
"Come on, get in. It'll move on its own, so you don't have to strain yourself!"
"Wow."
Julia's eyes sparkled in admiration. Then she begged him to teach her how to use magic, and Boris nodded in excitement, pretending to be calm.
Endymion, who had been looking at the two of them so cheerfully, walked over and got on the boat first.
"Julia, aren't you going?"
"Ah, yeah. Let's go!"
Julia immediately turned her head and smiled brightly. Then she ran and got on the boat.
As she sat down next to him naturally. Endymion looked up at Boris with the corners of his mouth raised in pride.
'Why are you like that?'
Boris's face crumpled at the arrogant smile. He felt bad for some reason, but Boris could not have imagined that the reason Endymion was wary of him was because of Julia...
So, the great King Semele was extremely possessive when it came to his wife.
"Boris, please get on quickly."
Julia spoke kindly, not knowing what was going on. Boris, who had been feeling uneasy and not knowing what was going on, belatedly got on the boat. Then he stretched out his hand and scanned the surrounding air.
Slurp.
There was a sound of fine cloth being swept, and the boat glided across the water. Cutting through the refreshing dawn air, the boat moved very smoothly but with a sense of speed across the lake.
"I thought it was great, but it's even cooler when you see it in person. Are there really this many people like Boris on the rooftop?"
"Haha. There are many. Ahem. It may be a bit odd to say this, but the truth is that I have the best research achievements among the lower-ranking magicians of the same class."
"Oh my god. You are truly amazing!"
Boris was delighted with the outpouring of praise, but he didn't know what to do with himself, Julia asked with sparkling eyes.
"Boris, can you tell me more about your research?"
"Of course! Ahem, so the research I started recently..."
Then, Endymion suddenly intervened.
"Julia, we're here."
"Oh, really?"
Julia quickly turned her head to check. At the same time, the small boat stopped gently right in front of the gate.
'Why does it feel like it keeps disconnecting?'
Boris continued to be bewildered by the natural disruption.
