Moiya was lying on his side, one hand supporting his head and the other shaking it at him. When on earth did he get into this position?
'I got it. I don't know!'
As always, the incarnation disappeared when a difficult situation arose. I'm going crazy. If Moiya hadn't waved his hand, I would have quickly hidden him, saying he was a doll. But there was nothing I could do because he was waving his hand and even twitching one leg arrogantly. All of his facial features were still. I was worried whether he was even breathing properly.
“Li, Linel...”
I called out to him as I got up from the bed. Moiya followed suit, flapping his wings and landing on my shoulder, wrapping both his arms around my neck as if embracing me.
“Zelda!”
Then, Linel, who had been frozen, quickly pulled out a dagger from behind his back and shouted.
“Get away from her!”
Linel seemed to think the wyvern was holding me hostage. That cute little baby wyvern.
“Uh uh... Your Majesty, please put the sword down. I’m fine.”
After calming him down, I tried to introduce him to Moiya, but Moiya couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out.
“I greeted you with a friendly wave of my hand. But you’re sticking a knife in my mouth when we first met? You’re such a cold-hearted bastard. Aren’t you, Master?”
“Ma, Ma... speak? Master?!”
Linel's blue eyes shook greatly. Moreover, he looked as if he would faint when he heard the wyvern call me master.
“Raphael, Raphael!”
He shouted without taking his eyes off Moya. Oh, it's going to get noisy. Hearing the Emperor's urgent voice, his loyal secretary Raphael kicked open the bedroom door with his sword in hand. And Sharon. Sharon was holding a silver pitcher and a glass cup. She must have thought that an assassin had invaded the bedroom, so she grabbed something that could be used as a weapon.
“What is it, Your Majesty! Huh! What, what is that...?”
Raphael entered the bedroom, looked around, found Moya, and had the same reaction as Linel.
“Ow? How did you know my name was Moiya? Oh, it’s Sharon!”
Moiya remembered Sharon from her time at Rosie's place and waved happily at her as she stood behind Raphael, ready to throw the silver pitcher.
“Huh!”
Sharon looked at me with a thoughtful face. Her eyes seemed to ask, 'Did you get caught?
'Yeah, that's right. It's totally messed up.'
I smiled bitterly at Sharon. Raphael spoke to him in a tense voice, raising his sword.
“Your Majesty. Wow, it’s a wyvern!”
“Yes, the wyvern... is attached to the Empress’s neck.”
“Why is the wyvern in the bedroom, and why is it with Her Majesty the Empress...”
“I don’t know either. Sharon, how does that wyvern know you?”
Sharon looked embarrassed at Linel's question and then lowered her head.
“Your Majesty, calm down. I will tell you everything.”
I said as I walked towards the table.
“Sharon was there with me the day I found Moiya. Come here, Raphael and Sharon, too.”
I pulled out the table chair first and sat down. Linel and Raphael slowly walked over, looking at Moiya, who was sitting on my right shoulder, with curiosity. Linel didn't let his guard down even as he pulled out the chair and sat down.
“Raphael, put down the sword. Your Majesty. Moiya is not in danger.”
“That’s right! Moiya is not dangerous, I am great!”
Kwaaak-!
“?”
Moiya suddenly spewed fire from his mouth. The gorgeous flowers in the vase on the table disappeared without a trace. Everyone stared at the burnt flowers with their mouths wide open, their eyes moving only. I was also surprised because it was the first time I saw Moiya spew fire from his mouth. However, I tried to act as if nothing had happened because I thought that if I showed my surprise, Linel would immediately throw the dagger he was holding at Moiya. But... Where is this burning smell coming from? No way.
“Sharon, is my hair okay?”
I was worried that this little wyvern might burn off my hair.
“It’s okay... Your Majesty, the Empress.”
Sharon pushed my hair back with a shaking hand.
“It’s okay, Sharon. Human hair is messy again.”
Moiya patted the back of Sharon's hand.
“?”
I looked at Sharon and Moiya with an ominous feeling, and Moiya smiled bashfully and said.
“I’m sorry, master. I actually burned a few strands. I’ll pull them out.”
Moiya grabbed a handful of my hair and tugged on it. Did he only burn a few strands? Ouch!
“...Take it slow.”
At my words, Sharon took my hair out of Moiya's hands and tapped the soot off.
“Zelda, wyverns are originally vicious and dangerous.”
Linel frowned and raised his dagger again, elbowing Raphael, who then clenched his sword grip again. I persuaded the two of them to put their swords down, then spoke sharply to Moiya.
“Moiya, you shouldn’t breathe fire recklessly.”
“I didn’t know the flames would go out to the vase. The flames are getting stronger and stronger, Moiya~.”
“But don’t do that again. People will be surprised.”
When I warned him again, Moiya reluctantly nodded and began to play with my hair around my neck. Raphael pulled his chair back further than before and put more distance between himself and Moiya. I deliberately stroked Moiya’s head like a puppy to show them that he was not a threat.
“Please scratch my wings, too!”
Moiya flapped his wings and shook his shoulders wildly, feeling good at my touch.
“Zelda, what the hell is going on...”
Linel asked, pressing his temples.
“Let me tell you.”
I started explaining how I met Moiya and why she called me 'Master'. I confessed everything to Linel, interspersing Sharon with questions like 'Did I miss anything?'
“Oh? You forgot to mention Aoshi, Master!”
Moiya, who had been quiet, raised his hand as if something big had happened and spoke.
“Aoshi, are you a wyvern too?”
Linel opened his eyes wide and asked in a serious voice.
“Wow, you think a lowly wingless cat is a great wyvern!”
Before I could even answer no, Moiya snapped back at him.
“Rosie also raises cats...?”
“Yes, I heard you got permission from the administration office a while ago. Right, Sharon?”
“Yes, that’s right, Your Majesty, the Empress.”
“Ow? You haven’t gotten permission yet? Isn’t Aoshi still living illegally in Rosie’s bedroom, Moiya~?”
"...shut up."
I told Moiya with my voice.
“Rosie is a person of interest.”
Linel sighed, touching his chin.
“No? Isn’t the orange-haired person just an ugly person?”
Moiya got angry and argued with him. What, this guy is not helping Rosie, he's actually hitting her.
“Phew.”
Raphael, who had been observing Moiya with a tense expression the whole time, burst into laughter.
“Your Majesty, this is a truly funny wyvern.”
“Your face is funnier!”
Moiya shouted at Raphael, pointing his finger at him. I bit back a laugh.
“The wyvern has quite a keen eye. Anyway, are you raising a wyvern and a cat at Rosie’s residence?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Ow? Aoshi and I are growing up on our own. The one that Rosie is raising is Rams?”
...Ah, you idiot. Even if you don’t have any sense, you can’t be like this. Well, what do I expect from a baby wyvern? I was going to talk about Rams after consulting with Prince Norton, but you’re exposing it again.
“Is Rams a cat too?”
Linel asked, grinning.
“Human baby.”
"What?"
“Rams is a human baby.”
Moiya spoke to him in a clear voice.
“!”
Linel's face hardened again. I really wanted to shut Moiya's mouth. But that little mouth was chattering so fast that I had no time to stop it.
“Your Majesty, do you know whether it’s Norton or Burton?”
“I know.”
“That guy gave it to Rosie, Moiya~.”
“What do you mean, Norton or Burton gave the child to her?”
Linel looked at me and asked. From the look on his face, it seemed like he was ready to be surprised this time.
“So what happened then...”
With this, Prince Norton's past history was revealed. After hearing the whole story from Moiya to Prince Norton, Linel was silent for a while.
“This is true. Your Majesty! The Kingdom of Shattonil is truly an eyesore.”
Raphael ground his teeth.
“Not only did he threaten Her Majesty the Empress with a magic potion to force her to come to the Lapion Empire, but he even tried to get Princess Resilia, who had a child with Prince Norton, to remarry Your Majesty!”
“But now he's turned his attention to the Pasha Empire?”
I also informed him of the proposal made by Prince Calvein and his wife, which Grand Martin's had heard from Prince Tesla.
“Yes, I saw her in the reception room today, and she seemed to have already become close to Princess Jasper.”
“That would be true. But it’s unclear whether Prince Norton, the person involved, will cooperate.”
Linel said with a meaningful smile. He seemed to have expected this to happen. However, he seemed very surprised to hear that the two of them had a child.
“It’s even better. There’s no need to push him on purpose. Prince Tesla must have threatened Rams before Prince and Princess Calvein made their proposal.”
“Still, I can’t send Rams back to Princess Resilia.”
“But now I won’t think about harming him. Because that child is the precious thread that will help them achieve their dreams.”
“Princess Resilia is not fit to be a mother. And Prince Norton seems to be interested in Rosie...”
Linel nodded seriously to my words.
“Give the order to Rosie to raise him.”
Moiya clenched both fists and slammed them on the table, then looked at Linel.
“But... Moiya. You mustn’t speak to His Majesty.”
I consoled Moiya while watching Linel's expression.
“Oh? Then, shouldn’t everyone talk to me, too? Except for you, Master?”
"Why?"
“Even though I look cute now, I am a great wyvern.”
...Let’s stop talking.
“You should speak to me instead and be polite to His Majesty.”
But Moiya responded as if it were impossible.
“I only have one master! Look, he’s already been so kind to me...”
Moiya glared at Linel and grumbled.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Linel, who had been quietly watching our conversation, snorted and asked Moiya.
“Because you are my master’s mating partner!”
Everyone was shocked by Moiya's words. However, for a wyvern who was not a human, it was not an incorrect expression, but it was difficult to say anything.
“...That’s right. Yes, you don’t have to speak up to me.”
“Ow? You’re secretly a nice person, aren’t you?”
Moiya showed interest in Linel for the first time.
“Instead, as you said, your master and I are mating... We are partners, so be careful not to interfere.”
He pointed his finger at Moiya and warned him sternly.
“Huh, you’re showing off.”
Moiya grumbled, but did not spit on the words.
“Your Majesty, what should we do now? If it becomes known that the wyvern is in the imperial court... or rather, if it becomes known that the wyvern serves Her Majesty the Empress as her ‘master’...”
“There might be a war.”
Linel's eyes darkened even more.
“Wow! This will be fun!”
In the serious atmosphere, Moiya suddenly flew excitedly over the heads of the four people sitting around the table.
“Everyone, keep this in mind. You must never get caught. It might be... difficult to manage.”
Linel's eyes followed Moiya, who was spinning around in the air.
“I’ll tell you to be careful.”
I reassured Moiya by motioning for him to come down. Thankfully, Moiya obediently came down and sat on my shoulder again at my command.
“Fortunately, he listens well. Your Majesty, doesn’t that young wyvern bite?”
“Pure.”
I smiled at Raphael and added one more thing.
“To me.”
So that meant you should be careful. Raphael, who didn't understand what I meant, stretched out his hand on the table and called Moiya like a puppy.
“Come here?”
“What is that?”
Moiya jumped down onto the table and kicked Raphael's hand away with his foot. Then, his expression changed, his eyes blinked innocently, and he ran towards Linel.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
"Why."
“I want to stay overnight, Moiya~.”
“!”
“Can I sleep over today?”
Moiya put his hands together politely and asked him.
'I got it. I don't know!'
As always, the incarnation disappeared when a difficult situation arose. I'm going crazy. If Moiya hadn't waved his hand, I would have quickly hidden him, saying he was a doll. But there was nothing I could do because he was waving his hand and even twitching one leg arrogantly. All of his facial features were still. I was worried whether he was even breathing properly.
