“It’s so freaking comfortable.”
As I was held in his arms, my eyes slowly closed. From the existence of the baby wyvern to the story of the incarnation, it was difficult to handle everything at once. On top of that, my body was getting hotter... But isn’t it strange? When Linel hugged me, my mind calmed down, and the heat that had been rising inside my body disappeared.
“I was expecting you to say you were nervous...”
He looked as if he was desperate to confirm his feelings, as if he had just started a relationship.
“You can’t be nervous 24 hours a day. You need to be comfortable at least during the day.”
Contrary to the words I spoke calmly, my heart was already pounding. Linel looked slightly disappointed, then hugged me tightly again and said.
"Warm."
I'm cool... We were sharing the temperature we needed from each other.
“Every time I hold you, it feels like spring.”
He briefly released the arms he had been holding around me, looked down at my face, and whispered sweetly.
“When I look down at my wife while holding you in my arms, your face looks like a flower.”
The tip of my nose felt tingly. I tried to keep my eyes from crying, but my eyebrows furrowed without me realizing it.
“Smile, smile! Like a flower in full bloom.”
He quietly watched my frowning expression and then gave me an order as if he were threatening me. He told me to smile, but he made a serious expression. I burst out laughing at his contradictory attitude. This must be what he was aiming for. As expected, he was pleased to see me smiling.
“What were you doing alone?”
He asked, running his hands through my hair.
“I was just... resting.”
“Are you tired?”
“No, that’s not it. I’m a little sleepy.”
“Then shall we take a nap together?”
He asked a question, and before I could even answer, he nodded.
“Aren’t you busy?”
“If I take a nap, I’ll be busy from then on. I’ll have to run to the main palace again.”
Bellos, who had been blown under the marble floor by Linel's breath, grumbled inwardly, venting his anger.
'I guess this won't work. Next time, I have to show up more conspicuously.'
Bellos, who had recovered his health, moved his sore body here and there, lost in thought.
'What kind of appearance will appeal to my companion?'

“Aren’t you busy?”
“If I take a nap, I’ll be busy from then on. I’ll have to run to the main palace again.”
“Then let’s go back together now.”
“Let’s take a nap together.”
He affectionately ignored my words. He finally took my hand and led me to the bed, where he forced me to lie down.
“I’m not sleepy anymore, so just...”
“I saw your sleepy eyes, and now I’m sleepy. I guess sleepiness is contagious, just like yawning.”
Linel lay down next to me, resting his arm on my pillow and closing his eyes. I turned my head to admire his handsome profile.
“Zelda, close your eyes.”
“?”
“If you look at my face like that, I won’t be able to sleep.”
How did he know I was looking at his face? Since I was already caught, I turned to Linel and asked him, looking straight into his face.
“...Why? Why can’t I sleep?”
“That’s the logic. Just as seeing delicious food brings back an appetite you didn’t have before, seeing a cool and sexy person also brings back a sexual desire you didn’t have before.”
He spoke with his eyes closed, lying straight. I was secretly annoyed by his undeniable pretense. So I deliberately,
“Haaam! Ugh...ugh.”
I yawned deeply and pretended to snore.
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
Linel's laughter touched my right cheek, the burn scar. As the cool feeling seeped into my cheek, I fell asleep. When I closed my eyes, I heard something flying around me. Was it a mosquito? The buzzing sound was quite annoying, but I fell asleep.

As soon as Bellos read the letter Misha sent on the crow, he came over to the Lapion Empire. His butler, Logan, tried to persuade Bellos to meet Zelda in his true form, but he eventually transformed into another form. He wanted to approach Zelda as a mysterious being without being too burdensome. So the form Bellos chose was that of a fairy.
At first, he transformed into the size of an index finger, but he shrank back down to the size of a little finger to be less noticeable to others and easier for Zelda to approach. He used teleportation magic to arrive at the Lapion Imperial Palace from the Magic Tower on Aklatto Island in one breath.
As Bellos was flying to the West Palace, he happened to spot Zelda coming out of Rosie's Palace. He recognized her at first sight. It was impossible not to notice the aura of the incarnation that had been in his body for 250 years and had not returned, surrounding Zelda. However, regardless of that appearance, he could not take his eyes off her.
'Oh, I shouldn't be falling in love already.'
The moment he uttered those words, he had already fallen in love. Zelda was much more beautiful than he had imagined. Bellos' heart pounded for the first time in a long time because he had seen her in person for the first time today, rather than the incarnation he had waited for for 250 years.

Zelda left Rosie's quarters and headed to the Empress's Palace with her attendants. Arriving at the Empress's Palace, she looked back at Bonis and Sharon in front of the bedroom door and said.
“I want to be alone for a while.”
She seemed to have mixed feelings about meeting Moiya.
“Yes, Your Majesty, the Empress.”
“Rest in peace.”
Bonis and Sharon answered, understanding Zelda's complicated feelings. Bellos followed her safely into the bedroom, clinging to the bottom of her dress skirt. As soon as the bedroom door closed, she walked straight to the dressing table and sat down in front of the mirror. Bellos sat at the table right next to the dressing table and looked at her reflection as if observing her. She looked at her face in the mirror for a while and then began to talk to the Incarnation. The Incarnation seemed to have become stronger than when he was in Bellos's body. Surprisingly, the Incarnation also seemed to notice Bellos's appearance.
'Yeah, since you've been inside my body longer, you'll feel my presence.'
Unless Bellos deliberately blocked the voice of the Incarnation, he could hear the Incarnation speaking. It seemed as if the Incarnation was deliberately slipping his story to her.
'They even talk about the Incarnation Sword.'
In addition, the Incarnation had casually mentioned the great wizard himself, but she had been indifferent. She seemed to be preoccupied with the thought of whether or not to drink the last magic potion. In fact, Zelda’s fever was due to Bellos’s presence. The Avatar had sensed Bellos’ presence and reacted to him.
'I need to bring down the fever.'
Just as Bellos was about to reach out to her, the bedroom door opened with a knock. It was Emperor Linel.
'This is my companion's government.'
Bellos has regarded Linel in that way.
“I want to be alone for a while.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, the Empress.”

Just as Bellos was about to reach out to her, the bedroom door opened with a knock. It was Emperor Linel.
'This is my companion's government.'
Bellos has regarded Linel in that way.
'She's been my companion for 15 years, so of course she's my wife. Yes, that's right.'
Even though the two of them had gotten married first, it was just a formality, and Bellos didn't care at all. Due to circumstances, Zelda was married to the Emperor of the Lapion Empire first, but Bellos, who had lived for 250 years after turning 21, was able to accept this with a broad mind.
'I've met countless women over the years, so if I can't understand this much, I have no conscience.'
However, he had been maintaining his body in good condition for the past 15 years. He was currently purified solely for his companion, who had the incarnation. However, when he witnessed the two people’s lovemaking in front of his eyes, he burst into anger.
'Hey, who on earth are you talking about when it comes to the government?'
Bellos was a fairy and a nymph, and he wanted to immediately return to his original form and drag out Emperor Linel, who was covering his body with his companion.
'Sigh, why am I feeling like this?'
The jealousy he felt now was very unfamiliar and disconcerting. He had lived normally for 21 years, and abnormally for 250 years. In total, about 271 years had passed, but jealousy was an emotion he had never felt before. For a long ago, jealousy was considered a ridiculous emotion that only weak people felt. That was why it didn’t matter to Bellos at all if Zelda had married another man first. After all, she was his companion, and it was fate that she would be like that. But what is this?
'I want to kill you.'
Bellos, who had turned into a fairy the size of a little finger, could do nothing but flap his wings in anger. The two, who had not noticed his presence at all, barely finished their short but intense skinship and took a nap. Bellos, who had landed on the headboard, did not want to hear the strange sounds the two were making, so he just cast a soundproofing spell around the bed and closed his eyes.
'I'd rather not see it or hear it.'
When Bellos opened his eyes again, the eyes of the two people who had been sparkling just a moment ago were fortunately closed. After staring at Linel’s face for a few seconds, Bellos turned his gaze to Zelda. Her sleeping appearance was as innocent as a child’s. However, the energy felt from this delicate appearance was tremendous.
'I've been waiting for a long time.'
Bellos greeted her inwardly. Then her eyelids fluttered. Bellos felt his stomach growl again when he saw Linel’s face, which was tightly pressed against her back, but he tried to focus only on her face. He looked closely at Zelda’s eyes, nose, and mouth. The incarnation pretended to know him, but Bellos blocked the incarnation’s energy that was focused on her. If he talked to the incarnation, she would wake up. For now, he just wanted to quietly look at his companion’s face. But then, Zelda opened her eyes squintingly.
'Oh my, should I greet you first?'
The excited Bellos unknowingly moved his wings more dazzlingly. Zelda's beautiful pink eyes looked sleepily at Bellos. She slowly held out her palm.
She seemed to be asleep, but she seemed to want to touch him. Bellos flew closer to her, mesmerized by her half-open pink eyes. Zelda blinked a few times and opened her lips slightly.
“This... mosquito cub...”
Bellos wondered if he had misheard her, so he moved closer and hovered over her outstretched palm.
“It keeps buzzing... so loud...”

Clap-!

Clap-!
It was really a split second. Zelda clapped her palms together like she was swatting a mosquito at the speed of light. Before he could dodge, Bellos’s body was flattened in her palms and fell onto the bed. For his flattened body to return to its original state, he had to stay still for a minute.
'Ugh.'
Although Zelda flattened his entire body by treating him like a mosquito, Bellos, who had fallen near her, looked up at her with a pleased expression.
'Our first skinship was really intense.'
Bellos accepted this situation positively and began to recover. But then. Linel, who was sleeping behind Zelda, opened his eyes to the sound of her swatting away mosquitoes.
"Ha!"
He blew the wind and blew Bellos out of the bed. Linel, who was also half asleep, seemed to have mistaken Bellos for a mosquito that had fallen on the bed.
“You didn’t get bitten?”
He asked her in a sleepy voice, kissing the nape of her neck. When Zelda nodded silently, he turned her body so that he buried her face in his chest.
'Hey, government! Because of you, my recovery time has doubled!'
'Ugh.'

Linel returned to his office in the main palace after enjoying a sweet nap with Zelda in the Empress's Palace. Raphael handed him a piece of paper.
“It’s what you instructed me to do. I received it an hour ago.”
He placed the paper he had received from Raphael on his desk and sat there in thought for half an hour.
"Your Majesty...?"
Raphael, tired of waiting, cautiously called out to him. He raised his head and picked up the quill pen that was lying next to him.
“Yakante. Yakante...”
He muttered, circling a section of paper over and over again.
“Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?”
“Send Stiane to the villa right now and tell him.”
He put down his quill and said to Raphael.
“Please give your order.”
“Tell everyone to gather at the banquet hall tonight.”
“Oh, by any chance... are you trying to change the destination of the hunting competition?”
Raphael asked with anxious eyes.
