"Do whatever you want."
"Mion, are you upset?"
"No."
"Mion, don't be like that. I don't want to stay out overnight either, but I can't help it because I'm so busy."
Julia held back her laughter and hugged Endymion's waist, acting cute.
"Yes. Do whatever you want."
But Endymion, unusually for him, closed his eyes without responding. He looked as if he was going to fall asleep.
'Huh.'
Of course, it wasn't that she wouldn't go if he told her not to. But she couldn't just leave him feeling upset, so Julia thought about it for a moment.
"Then I can do whatever I want?"
"...I see."
Endymion answered coolly, but his expression did not change from that of discomfort.
It always seemed like he was the only one who was obsessed with her. He wishes Julia would love him too.
But unfortunately, his wife had too many other interests to love.
Endymion muttered to himself with a complicated feeling.
'It feels like I've only had one-sided love my whole life...'
Sigh.
At that moment, a light but definite weight was added to his body. Endymion's eyes opened wide.
"Didn't you tell me to do whatever I want?"
Julia was sitting on his lap, laughing.
"...What are you doing?"
"It seems that His Majesty is upset, so I would like to appease him as the Queen."
It was as if he were being treated as a child who was throwing a tantrum. Endymion unconsciously let out a cold voice, seemingly ignoring his burning feelings.
"Who said I was upset..."
Kiss.
At that moment, Julia lightly kissed his lips. The voice that was about to burst out was swallowed and trapped behind his vocal cords.
"Even so, won't your heart be at ease?"
Julia had already pulled herself closer to his lap, and Endymion instinctively grabbed her waist, which was wrapped in a pink slip.
The nerves in his entire body began to tense as she sat on his thighs, and his gaze was automatically drawn to her thighs revealed under her rolled-up skirt.
"If you do that, I'll be upset."
Julia leaned down again, caressing his cheek, whether she knew it or not.
Kiss.
It was a light kiss, but it lingered longer than before. And because she was closer, Julia's scent was even stronger.
Endymion chewed the flesh inside his lip.
Actually, that was fine. The problem is...
"Relax, yes?"
It was her thigh that was buried under her butt. Whether she knew it or not, it was close enough that it shook whenever she spoke, making his mouth dry.
'Ha.'
Although the weight felt light, the weight applied gently, and the voice whispering softly were more stimulating than any pleasure in the world.
"I'll think about it, so get down now."
Endymion spoke in a murky voice.
Obviously, if she acts this pretty, she knows that he will fall for her, so she does this on purpose. Of course, because she is naive, she doesn't know how dangerous this attitude is.
Endymion pulled Julia down, looking into her clear purple eyes.
'I can't have one-sided love my whole life.'
It's enough to pass over it as aegyo. He won't give in so blandly again...
"No."
But Julia pushed away his hands that were grabbing her waist. At the same time, she sat closer to him.
He was pressed down, unable to be pushed or pulled.
As Endymion held his breath, Julia smiled and raised her hand.
"Can't you think about it now? Let go of your mind, or not."
"...In this state, do you think I can think?"
"It won't work."
Julia answered with such gusto that at the same time her delicate white fingers parted his gown and traced his chest.
"I sat here on purpose so you wouldn't think about it."
...Being naive is a cancellation.
"You..."
Endymion, who had belatedly revised his assessment of his wife, pulled away.
However, Julia pretended not to know and smiled brightly, touching his chest and kissing the nape of his neck.
Kiss.
"Where on earth do you get something like this?"
Endymion's low voice broke off.
The heat surged through him, burning his brain. Endymion had to sacrifice considerable patience to maintain his sanity.
Seeing his handsome face harden, Julia kissed the tip of Endymion's chin again.
"Of course, I learned it from you."
He thinks he said it last time. Julia nodded, then quickly put strength into her lower body.
"I'm not going to sleep well today... So, will you let me relax?"
With a loving smile, Julia said seductively.
Everything she touched was burning hot. In the end, Endymion, whose patience was mercilessly trampled, crushed Julia in an instant.
"Then, take responsibility."
Endymion spoke in a rare, rough voice. Julia was about to say something, but Endymion couldn't wait even a second before pressing their lips together.
"Yeah."
He licked and sucked her tender lips before entering her. Endymion, who had entangled his tongue with hers in a familiar manner, rubbed her mucous membrane and stimulated it tightly so that she could not escape.
It was a more impatient and forceful kiss than usual. Julia pushed against his chest as her soft but slightly rough raw desire poured out.
But Endymion had no intention of letting Julia go. He was already seething, and instead of letting her go, he held her tightly to him while continuing to kiss her passionately.
"Ah..."
Even though it was just the beginning, the air was already hot.
As the heat that started from her lips spread to her entire body to the point of being uncomfortable, this time too, Julia eventually collapsed first. All the provocations she had been giving before disappeared, and she tried to escape under the blankets.
Endymion smiled briefly and grabbed her.
"You said you weren't going to sleep today."
Her white flesh turned red. It was definitely different from before. Julia trembled and pleaded as he teased her sensitive peak over her undressed slip.
"Mion, wait, just a moment..."
"Talk to me tomorrow."
Endymion began to kiss her deeply again, trying to soothe her. He bit her moist lips and dug deep, and his delicate tongue easily slipped past her.
"Ugh."
A soft moan lingered in his mouth.
Endymion took full advantage of the graceful woman's body, then skillfully pulled the shoulder straps and pulled down the slip.
"Mi, on. Huh...."
Julia flinched and flinched.
Endymion tilted his head, swallowing Julia's every breath and entangling his tongue more firmly. Then, he held her gently from above, pressing her so she wouldn't escape.
"Ah."
Julia suddenly stopped kissing and lowered her head. Her delicate body also sagged.
"Julia?"
Endymion felt Julia stretched out in his arms and called her name, but Julia's eyes were closed, and she did not respond.
"What..."
Endymion paused and stepped back to examine Julia. She was acting unusually, so he thought she might act impulsively again.
"Julia."
But Julia was still breathing, unconscious. The color drained from his handsome face as he realized this.
Endymion, who had grasped the situation in an instant, roughly pulled on the bell rope while putting his gown on Julia.
Knock knock.
"Your Majesty, have you found it?"
"Bring the doctor!"
***
'Hmm.'
Her head was dizzy.
'Did I sleep too much?'
Julia opened her eyes, feeling dizzy.
"Julia!"
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Endymion's face. Julia blinked, wondering why Endymion was above her and not next to her.
"Mion, did I oversleep...?"
"Thank god."
"Yes?"
Julia looked bewildered as she was held by Endymion.
"What's the matter?"
Julia reached out to pat his back, wondering if he had had a nightmare. But, by chance, she saw that the outside of the window was as dark as night.
...No, it really seems like night?
"You suddenly fainted, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to wake up."
Endymion's muffled voice rang in her ears. Only then did Julia realize that her last memory had been cut off unnaturally.
"Sorry. Were you worried? I'm fine."
Julia instinctively tried to reassure him first, but Endymion did not let her leave his embrace.
"I'm not okay. You haven't come to your senses for three hours, and you have a low fever."
"Ah. I've been horseback riding lately to build up my stamina, but I think I overdid it."
Julia tried to brush it off as nothing serious. Then Endymion gently stroked the back of her head and said.
"The doctor came to examine you. He disappeared and said he would come back later."
"Really? Then I guess I'll have to change my clothes in the meantime."
She was wearing only Endymion's robe over a thin slip. Julia tried to get away from him naturally, but Endymion did not let her go.
"Mion?"
"Let's go to County Land tomorrow. You can rest and do whatever you want at a quiet villa."
"You're going to County Land while you're resting? Suddenly?"
Julia tilted her head. Then Endymion slowly relaxed his arms and faced her.
"...When I asked about the examination results, the attending doctor was tight-lipped."
"Uh?"
Endymion's eyes were red. That stole her attention more than his words, so Julia was surprised and gently wiped his eyes.
"Mion, did you cry? Why are your eyes red?"
But instead of answering, Endymion grabbed her slender fingers. He cupped her cheek and slowly rubbed it with a pitiful face.
"I asked him several times why you fainted... but he said it wasn't easy to tell. It was difficult to judge with his own abilities."
"Yes?"
Only then did the words come to mind.
'Reasons that the King's doctor cannot determine?'
Come to think of it, her physical condition has been a bit different lately, and her stamina has also been different. Today in particular, she felt dizzy and even fainted.
'Oh, come to think of it. Today, strangely, even magic didn't work.'
An ominous thought crossed her mind. Could she be seriously ill? Surely it's not incurable?
Silence flowed. Julia, who had been thinking for a while, hesitated and then cautiously opened her mouth first.
"Hey, Mion. If I have a serious illness..."
"No. Never."
"But. The attending doctor said he couldn't tell you..."
"I will definitely fix it."
Endymion gritted his teeth and spoke. At that response, Julia's heart sank as she realized that Endymion was guessing the same thing.
She took a deep breath and tried to control the situation.
"I... I'm okay. I can't make it hard for you because of me."
Julia spoke in a trembling voice and put her arms around Endymion's waist.
Endymion, his expression distorted, hugged her tightly.
"I will never leave you alone. I will be with you no matter what happens, so don't say that."
"Ugh. Mion."
Julia ended up sobbing while being held by Endymion. She was not naturally a weak-willed person, but it was a great shock because it happened so suddenly and without any preparation.
"I don't want to break up with you either. I really don't."
"I will fix it no matter what. Even if it means sacrificing Semele. Just trust me."
Even though she must have been surprised and had a hard time. Julia eventually burst into tears at the sight of Endymion unconditionally comforting and reassuring her.
"Oh, it must be hard for you, too. I'm sorry we can't break up. I really, really like you, Mion."
Julia confessed incoherently, tears streaming down her face.
Then Endymion bit his lip, held her more tightly, and made a firm promise in a faintly wet voice.
"Don't think about anything else. Just think about yourself. I will save you even if it means sacrificing my life..."
Bam!
Just then, someone opened the door and barged in.
"Gaps, Gasp! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! Ugh!"
With a thud, two people fell over, tangled together, along with the sound of footsteps.
Julia, who had been swearing eternal love with tears in her eyes while hugging him tightly, suddenly turned her head away.
"Attending doctor..? Anna?"
"Oh my gosh, Your Majesty! You're awake!"
The attending doctor suddenly stood up. Endymion, who had already wiped off all the moisture and turned his head, frowned.
"What's all this noise?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty! It's just such an urgent matter!"
The attending doctor rubbed his hands in a fuss. Anna, who had no idea why he had come, covered her face with her palms with a strange expression.
"Ah, our Queen."
Even the voice was strange. Julia held Endymion's hand with a gloomy face. It seemed like it was news that she had to prepare herself mentally.
"Have you gotten the examination results?"
"Yes, oh my, yes!"
At the trembling voice of the attending doctor, Endymion interlocked his fingers with Julia's and held them tightly. His chiseled face tried to keep a blank expression.
"Report."
Julia was even sadder about that, but she didn't want to hurt Endymion's feelings. So, to hide her tearful face, she pretended to be calm and said as she hugged Endymion.
"Tell me. I will accept whatever the outcome is, so don't hide anything and be honest..."
"Congratulations! You're pregnant!"
