“I have to go eat.”
“Your scent.”
“...Huh?”
What is that?
“You washed up again in the meantime because of my words... I’m touched.”
He chuckled, gently pushing my arm with his elbow.
Judging from the nonsense he's talking about, I think you had a drink?
Oh, so that’s why you refused my offer to take a bath together?
“You went out for a drink with Raphael?”
“What?”
“I thought you were drunk.”
So that’s why you’re saying something so out of the blue.
Linel kissed my shoulder and said,
“Yeah, because of your scent.”
... He was drunk.
“But why did you just go out again earlier?”
Even after seeing my wet back in the bathroom.
“Stiane said he wanted to discuss dinner seating arrangements.”
“Oh, I see.”
Raphael was the one in front of the bed earlier, and Stiane was the one in the bathroom.
“The entourage is taking turns disturbing us.”
Linel had the same thoughts as I. However, I tried to comfort him gracefully, contrary to my true feelings.
“I don’t think it’s a nuisance, but rather a matter of being faithful to your work, Your Majesty. You should focus on your work during the day.”
“There’s a boy like Moiya in my body.”
Linel said seriously, as if confessing.
“...Yes?”
“He won’t listen to me. He acts like a brat even during the day, so what can I do?”
“Ah...”
When my head naturally turned downward, he held my chin with his hand.
“Pretend not to know. If you pretend to know, he’ll be even more arrogant.”
“Yes, you brat. There’s no one to bother you at night. Let’s calm down for now. Are you good?”
I said, patting his back.
“The alcohol... Did the Empress drink it? The scent has returned, but the fear has disappeared.”
He spoke solemnly to me, who kept speaking informally, and squinted his cheek.
“I didn’t say that to Your Majesty. I said that to that arrogant brat.”
I replied politely.
He suddenly opened the door he had just closed.
“Sorry, even I can’t control his rebellious side.”
Linel grabbed my arm and went back into the room, showering me with kisses.
“Half of the blue diamond is mine.”
Rosie kept repeating to Moiya from the moment they entered the assigned room.
“No, no, I can’t give it to you! Half is too much, Moiya~.”
Moiya, who had transformed into a white butterfly, returned to his original form and showed a firm attitude.
“What are you going to do with the blue diamond? I think you keep misunderstanding me, but you’re not human. You...”
“I know! I’m a great wyvern.”
“...Yeah, why would a great wyvern want something like a blue diamond? It's useless. So just give it all to me. Yes?”
Rosie smiled as she gently coaxed Moiya.
“How would a lowly human know if it's useful or not? And you? What are you going to do with the blue diamond?”
“What am I going to do? I should wear it around. They say that if you wear a blue diamond necklace and earrings, you’ll look three times prettier.”
“Yeah, if you do that, you’ll look a little plain, right?”
“That guy...”
Rosie forced herself to calm down her bubbling insides.
“But who’s going to notice if you look pretty?”
Moiya asked, as if she really didn’t understand.
“Huh?”
“Ah, you want to look good to Norton?”
“Meow meow. (Oh, you’re smart as expected.)”
Aoshi stopped pressing Rosie’s thighs with his two front paws and admired Moiya’s words.
“Hey! It’s absolutely not true? It’s a complete misunderstanding. What, what would I do if I looked good to the Prince?”
Rosie, who had been jumping up and down, finally tucked her hair behind her ear at the end of her words.
As always, Moiya let Rosie’s words slide and sat on the bed, rubbing his chin and lost in thought.
“Oh? Is this the time?”
“What time?”
“Well, it’s time for you, too.”
Moiya, who had been looking at Rosie with profound eyes, nodded as if he finally understood.
“What time?”
Rosie wasn’t at all curious about what Moiya was talking about, but since he always talked nonsense, she developed a habit of asking back what Moiya said.
Just as she was concluding in her mind, 'If I ask, it's either the sound of my clothes bursting or I'm going crazy,'
"Mating."
"Clap, clap... What?!"
Rosie doubted her ears at the manly words.
Moiya's butt wiggled.
That movement was like a lively warm-up before an accident.
And then, his wings flapped as if he were slowly starting the engine.
Rosie felt uneasy as she watched Moiya flap his wings.
She had a feeling that something was going to happen.
"Rope, is there a rope around here?"
Rosie started looking around the room to find something to tie Moiya up with.
Even if she tied him up, he would probably escape by finding something else to doppelganger with, but she thought she would feel a little better if he couldn't move for a while.
"If you want to mate and look pretty because you want the blue diamond, I'll think about it."
Moiya was very serious.
"This conversation... I'm scared that someone might hear it, really."
Rosie glanced around the room, worried that Moiya’s embarrassing sound might leak out.
Even though it was in an egg, it must have lived for 300 years, so it was surprising that it was a baby wyvern who was trying to interfere with the mating of humans without hesitation.
“If you’re scared that someone might hear... I’ll go and tell Norton myself!”
“Meow? (You’re really thoughtful, aren’t you?)”
When Aoshi praised Moiya while licking his wings, Moiya lifted his chin in pride.
“Yeah, I’ll go do something good like this again.”
“Meow! (You know what? You’re really kind!)”
Aoshi jumped up and down and wagged his tail as if it were his own business.
Moiya transformed back into a white butterfly that had just landed on Aoshi’s head and flew out the open window.
“...Did it go crazy! Huh? Where is that crazy baby wyvern going now?!”
Rosie, who had been lowering her head and pulling her hair, raised her head in a cold feeling and jumped up in shock.
“Meow. (To your mate.)”
The attendant came to Emperor Adrian’s room, saying it was dinner time.
“Yes, stay out.”
Emperor Adrian, who was resting on his bed, forced himself to get up. He grabbed the doorknob to leave the room, but his right arm hurt.
He groaned in pain and pressed his forehead against the door.
“Damn, my symptoms suddenly got worse.”
Emperor Adrian grabbed his trembling right wrist with his left hand. He could open the door and hold the fork with his right hand without much effort, but now he had no strength at all.
If he didn’t ingest blood, his symptoms would get worse.
The only way to relieve this intermittent pain was to drink human blood.
The blood of a living animal was also effective, but he had avoided it because it had the side effect of making his personality vicious.
“Tomorrow will be harder to endure.”
He had to take a strong painkiller to temporarily relieve the pain.
Emperor Adrian took out the bottle of painkillers that he always carried in his uniform pocket. He dropped them all on the floor because his hands were shaking as he had only taken three pills into his palm.
“Damn it!”
He knelt on the floor and quickly picked up the three painkillers that he had dropped.
Emperor Adrian swallowed the three painkillers and lay down on the floor.
After a while, his hands began to shake less.
Emperor Adrian let out a sigh of relief and sat up.
“We have to find a scapegoat tonight.”
If possible, the blood of a living person should be consumed to ensure a long-lasting effect.
Whenever such pain struck him, there was a face that came to mind first.
“Linel, you little punk... I’ll let the wyvern tear off your arms.”
Emperor Adrian clenched his teeth and stood up again.
Linel’s aggressive kiss was hard to endure for long.
It was because I was too hungry.
If I had kissed him any longer, I might have gnawed on his plump lips.
When I sucked in my stomach and complained that I was hungry, he kept telling me to endure while eating his love. When I lowered my gaze and yelled at the Moiya-like guy, “Do it in moderation!” Linel obediently said, “Yes, master,” and opened the door.
I laughed at that, but it only made me hungrier.
“To the right. The restaurant on the first floor is at the right end of the building.”
We left the room and walked toward the stairs on the right.
Before going down the stairs, we ran into Prince Norton coming out of the room.
“Do you like the room?”
When Linel spoke from behind Prince Norton, the Prince turned to us and greeted us.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I think I understand why this is a summer villa. It’s cool and pleasant.”
“That’s not what I’m asking.”
“Yes?”
“I told Raphael to place it nearby on purpose...”
Linel pointed with his finger to Prince Norton’s room and another room not far away.
“What are you talking about...?”
Prince Norton’s eyes followed his finger, and he asked with a puzzled expression.
“Is that by any chance the Rosie room?”
When I noticed his intention and asked, he nodded and looked at Prince Norton.
“You didn’t know? I told Raphael to tell you.”
“Mate.”
“Mate... Huh?!”
Prince Norton, who had been speaking gently with his head slightly lowered, suddenly raised his head and looked at Linel with surprised eyes.
“It’s not what Your Majesty said, it’s this kid.”
I pointed to the white butterfly sitting on Linel’s shoulder and said.
Prince Norton just stared blankly at the white butterfly.
“It’s me, it’s me. The wyvern cub that played with your cub.”
Moiya made his presence known in a small voice.
“Moiya, why are you suddenly making the mating sound?”
I asked Moiya on behalf of Prince Norton, who was speechless.
“Master, master. First, listen to my grievance.”
“...Speak.”
You can’t just wear a robe and go down to eat, right?
He looked cute asking such an obvious question with a puzzled expression.
“Then what’s the purpose of what you’re wearing just now?”
What? A uniform?
“I’m going to wear that again in a few days.”
“Aha, you don’t like it? It looks fine.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s a bit uncomfortable when I’m resting. This is more comfortable.”
I said, lifting the hem of my home dress.
Linel nodded with an expression that said, ‘Well, if that’s what you’re saying, then that’s what it is.’
But his expression was a bit unfamiliar.
“Yes, it’s time to go down to the restaurant now.”
He said, grabbing my hand.
As soon as I heard that, my stomach, which had been fine until a moment ago, started growling.
Maybe it was because I had been more active than usual, but even though I had a hearty lunch, I suddenly felt hungry like I had starved.
“Huh? You’re back?”
As I was leaving the room, Linel asked me.
“Where have I been...?”
He looked cute asking such an obvious question with a puzzled expression.
“Then what’s the purpose of what you’re wearing just now?”
What? A uniform?
“I’m going to wear that again in a few days.”
“Aha, you don’t like it? It looks fine.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s a bit uncomfortable when I’m resting. This is more comfortable.”

As I was leaving the room, Linel asked me.
“Where have I been...?”
“Your scent.”
“...Huh?”
What is that?
“You washed up again in the meantime because of my words... I’m touched.”
He chuckled, gently pushing my arm with his elbow.

Prince Norton coughed and replied.
“Me? Did you hear, Empress? Am I being mean? For the favor I showed you, to come back like this.”
Linel opened her eyes slightly, her expression one of sadness.
“That’s not what I meant, I’m just being friendly with Her Highness Rosie and...”
“I didn’t know. I didn’t see Raphael either. You’re being mean, Your Majesty.”
