His hand also moved up to my thigh.
The cold heat transmitted from his hand traveled up my thigh, up to my shoulder, cooling the back of my neck, and then spread to my face.
I leaned closer to him and slowly advanced my hand on my thigh.
I swallowed my lips, stealing the sound of his increasingly ragged breathing.
“The... end? Sob...!”
“They say that keeping quiet will speed up progress...”
“Did it say to keep your speech short? That saves time?”
Linel asked, perching me on his thigh.
I nodded.
Of course, that wasn’t in the book.
“Yes, keep going. If you think back to when I was Nelly, you’ll be able to speak informally more easily.”
He looked up at me, secretly anticipating what I would say.
“They say you have to remove obstacles.”
I smiled and untied the strings of my gown.
He simply watched the silk gown slide down my body.
As a smile spread across my face, desire spread across his.
Linel pulled me closer to him and grabbed my waist.
“Huh? That wasn’t written there?”
“I know. But you need to be careful, you’re the one who needs to be careful. If that book was for pregnant women, it would definitely say that.”
“Hold it like this?”
“Yes. I’ll hold it, so do it.”
“I’ll do whatever I want today?”
I threatened, looking down at him.
The cold heat transmitted from his hand traveled up my thigh, up to my shoulder, cooling the back of my neck, and then spread to my face.
I leaned closer to him and slowly advanced my hand on my thigh.

“Hold it like this?”
“Yes. I’ll hold it, so do it.”
“I’ll do whatever I want today?”
I threatened, looking down at him.
“That’s what I wanted...”
He closed his eyes.
“Is something uncomfortable?”
Prince Norton asked worriedly, watching Rosie’s shoulders twitch as if something was broken.
“...Oh, no.”
Rosie’s creaking shoulders were about to quicken just as they were about to move.
Rosie’s confidence slumped under Prince Norton’s gaze, as if he were looking at someone in pain. They weren’t trying to mate, as Moiya and Moni had said, but something about them made her feel like she had failed.
“Let’s have a seat first.”
Prince Norton gestured to the sofa.
“Yes, sit down.”
Feeling embarrassed, Rosie quickly walked over to the sofa first and sat down.
“Uh... why...”
He closed his eyes.

Prince Norton gestured to the sofa.
“Yes, sit down.”
Feeling embarrassed, Rosie quickly walked over to the sofa first and sat down.
“Uh... why...”
Why are you coming over to sit next to me?
Before she could finish, Prince Norton sat down next to her.
“There’s something I want to do.”
Since the Prince happened to be looking straight ahead when he spoke, Rosie glanced at the books on the sofa table and asked.
“Oh, you’re going to read a book?”
“I wouldn’t have come all the way here to read a book?”
“I know. You came because I missed Rams.”
“That’s true, but I came because I missed Your Highness Rosie.”
“...Really?”
Prince Norton nodded briefly at Rosie’s shy question and then opened his mouth.
“We’re about to get married, but we’ve never even held hands properly.”
Prince Norton held out his hand to her.
Rosie’s face flushed, and as if she had been waiting, she quickly placed her hand on Prince Norton’s palm.
She unconsciously clapped her hands together, but before she knew it, they clapped together so tightly that it made a clap sound.
Prince Norton, who had been reaching out defenselessly, suddenly slumped and then rose on one shoulder.
“I’m, I’m sorry! Sometimes I can’t control my strength...”
“It’s okay. It’s my fault for not being strong enough.”
Prince Norton smiled awkwardly.
Rosie’s face felt like it was going to burst with embarrassment.
“Your Highness.”
“Huh?”
“I’m going to kiss you now.”
“!”
Rosie blinked and looked at Prince Norton.
“If we kiss, it’s okay. Why are you even talking?”
Prince Norton seemed to read Rosie’s thoughts and added with a small smile,
“Because lips shouldn’t clap together as hard as our palms did a little while ago.”
“Ah...”
Rosie’s face, which had been slowly regaining its natural color, reddened again.
“If we both lose our front teeth like Prince Tesla, we’ll spend the rest of our lives smiling at each other, but I don’t want to make Your Highness laugh like that.”
“Phehhehheh!”
While she was seriously listening to Prince Norton, an unexpected person appeared in the conversation.
Rosie couldn't help but burst out laughing as she remembered Prince Tesla's current state.
"So, Your Highness, please this time..."
“Yes, I’ll stay still!”
Rosie replied as if making a promise.
“Yes, Ma’am, you can stay where you are. I’ll go. But...”
Prince Norton found her unnecessarily serious attitude quite cute, so he raised his hand and placed it on her cheek.
“It’s hot, Moiya could grill sausages.”
“Phehhehheh... Hmm?!”
Rosie burst out laughing again, and Prince Norton took the opportunity to kiss her.
The savoring kiss, which had been licking their lips, soon turned into a passionate one.
However, a rustling sound broke Prince Norton’s concentration, and he opened his eyes.
“What... are you doing, Ma’am?”
Rosie’s hands were busy behind her back, as if trying to take off her dress.
“I’m sorry, I’ve rarely taken off a dress by myself...”
What was she sorry for? Why did she want to take off her dress?
Prince Norton couldn’t understand a single thing.
He tried not to show his bewilderment and asked politely.
“We were kissing, weren’t we?”
“Yes, so...”
To move on to the next step, you have to take off your dress, right?
Rosie recalled the order she’d read in the book.
Of course, the book said to stay still to make a man horny. However, Prince Norton seemed so absorbed in the kiss that she wanted to save him the trouble and was about to take it off herself.
But something about Prince Norton’s expression was strange.
‘I should have stayed still like the book said, after all?’
Rosie began to feel anxious.
“Your Highness, that’s all for today.”
Prince Norton said firmly, pushing Rosie’s dress back up, which had fallen slightly below her shoulders.
“...Why?”
What was it? This awkwardness, as if it had just started while studying!
Rosie let out a groan without realizing it.
It felt like someone had snatched the book from her right at the very moment it was getting interesting.
“I’m not mentally ready for that yet,”
Prince Norton said cautiously, smoothing down his own untidy clothes.
In fact, Prince Norton wanted to cherish Rosie until he could make her his official Princess.
But she had no way of knowing his feelings.
“I won’t be hasty.”
He was leaving for the Pasha Empire soon, so he just needed to be patient.
“You don’t have to be so reserved..."
Rosie whispered to herself.
She was desperate, but Prince Norton’s gaze grew cautious.
“...You’re more conservative than I thought.”
Useless.
For someone with a child.
Rosie glanced at the bed where Rams was sleeping and swallowed her words.
Why are you asking where we’re staying now?
Aoshi had an ominous feeling.
If Moiya or Moni told the wyvern captain that they were staying at the Lapion Palace, a horde of wyverns would storm the palace and start spitting fire at any moment.
“Meow... (Don’t say it’s the palace. What if they come...)”
Aoshi whispered to Moiya.
Now that he heard it, it made sense.
“It’s better than here. It’s not even gloomy.”
Moiya smugly glanced around the dark cave.
“It’s definitely where humans live.”
Moiya and Moni met eyes at the wyvern leader’s words.
“Are you trapped there?”
“That’s right. Everyone likes me.”
For Moiya, the concept of being trapped seemed to have a slightly different meaning.
“Captain, no matter how I look at it, you seem like a weakling.”
The large wyvern spoke in a hushed voice, but even a whisper echoed loudly in the cave.
“Did that ignorant thing just say something to me?”
Moiya asked Moni and Aoshi directly.
“Meow. (Moiya, I think it would be best to just keep your mouth shut.)”
Aoshi looked at the wyverns’ murderous gazes and wept quietly.
It was so frustrating to be the only one without wings in this place.
Aoshi glanced outside the cave as the wyverns exchanged dismissive remarks. He had absolutely no courage to jump. He slowly crept back in, wedging himself between Moiya and Moni. He felt like he needed to position himself so they could easily grab his neck and fly away. Moiya and Moni were constantly provoking the adult wyverns without fear.
In the pitch-black darkness, the only sound was the sound of the rough waves.
As time passed, he felt his life slipping away, but the two remained remarkably calm.
“Even though they’re just hatchlings, they’re really ill-mannered. You’ll have to give them some advice, Captain.”
“You really don’t understand what I’m saying. Moni and I are elders, you little punks! I told you we’re over 300 years old!”
Moiya, frustrated by this, patted his chest.
“Didn’t I say you were born not long ago?”
“Ah! You only hatched from the egg not long ago, Moni~.”
Still, since he'd lived consciously for 300 years, he should be treated like an adult, Moni said, stamping one foot on the cave floor.
However, the wyverns didn't believe him at all, as they had never heard of a wyvern hatching from an egg for 300 years.
They thought that some clumsy mother had lost the eggs, or that the eggs had been secretly stolen by greedy humans.
So they were just feeling sorry for him...
"You've only learned bad things from humans, you reckless ones. There's order in group life. If you don't know, you should learn. Where do you keep talking back to?"
"You're only talking back to the old man because he keeps complaining, Moiya~?"
"Oh! But you!"
The wyvern leader raised his voice, and Moiya shouted even louder.
"Hey! You punk! Who the hell called you punk? You little green thing?!"
Moiya got excited and started talking even louder.
“Don’t you realize how great our elders are?”
Moni asked, her face genuinely curious, not excited.
The wyverns looked at Moni with half pity, and the other half twiddled their fingers in their ears, treating her like she was crazy.
“Captain, you guys are truly unspeakable. I’ll beat the crap out of these guys and make them into proper wyvern pups.”
A large wyvern flew close to Moiya and Moni.
Its size alone was enough to intimidate them.
Unlike Aoshi, whose fur stood on end in fear, Moiya and Moni merely frowned, showing no sign of fear.
“Quickly apologize to the captain and kneel.”
“Then, will you give me sausages?”
Moiya asked, rubbing his stomach, feeling hungry.
“...Huh? Why are you talking about sausages all this time?”
“Ugh, you don’t even know what sausages are? I don’t want to be the leader of these ignorant bastards, Moiya~!”
No one had ever promised to make him leader.
The wyverns spoke as if the title would be theirs if they stepped down.
At first, they wondered what he was talking about, but then they understood Moiya and, in amazement, each flapped their wings.
Aoshi's body shook as they all flapped their wings.
If they had flapped their wings a little harder, they could have blasted Aoshi out of the cave.
If Moni hadn't stepped on Aoshi's tail, he might have already flown away.
"Meow meow! (Thanks for catching me, Moni!)"
Moni, who had suddenly become Aoshi's lifesaver, muttered to herself in bewilderment.
"My feet were numb, so I was stepping on your fur, Moni~."
Meanwhile, the large wyvern grabbed Moiya's neck and lifted him up.
"What kind of ignorant human are you to live with to be this ill-mannered?"
"How can our orange-headed one read so many books, yet be so ignorant!"
“That’s right. And you guys, I’m going to tell our master!”
Moiya and Moni shouted in turn.
“Are you living like puppies, serving humans as your masters? It’s a disgrace to the wyverns!”
As the leader of the wyverns sighed, sighs from the other wyverns could be heard here and there.
“The only masters we wyverns follow are the Avatar and the Fire Goddess who wields the Avatar Sword. You pathetic creatures.”
“Oh? Are you talking about our master?”
“Huh? Is that so?”
Moiya and Moni tilted their heads, simultaneously thinking of Zelda.
“Look at these guys? An adult is talking. Where are you chatting? This won’t do, yikes!”
The large wyvern slammed its fist into Moiya’s eye with a thud.
“Ah! Oh my, oh my, I’m dying!”
Stars flashed before his eyes, and soon pain surged through him.
Moiya covered his face with both hands and fell to the ground.
“You must be in a lot of pain, right?”
“Meow?! (Are you okay?!)”
Moni and Aoshi barely managed to catch Moiya as he fell to the ground.
“How are you, kid? Are you coming to your senses? But, judging by your mental state, you’ll probably only come to your senses if you taste the hot fire. Kwaaaaak-!”
Fire poured out of the large wyvern’s mouth.
At that moment, Moni, who was supporting Moiya, fired back.
“Kwaaaaak-!!”
“Ugh... It’s hot!”
A fierce flame poured out from its small body.
The flames that the large wyvern had breathed were pushed back by Moni’s flames.
Moreover, the flames were a slightly different color from the wyverns’.
“You have to get out now, Moiya~!”
The moment the wyverns saw Moni’s fire and murmured, Moiya and Moni grabbed Aoshi by the scruff of his neck and quickly flew out of the cave.
“Th-those guys!”
“Captain, should we go get them?”
“It’s no use. They must have already climbed up the canyon and entered the forest.”
Judging by the flames they spewed, their flight speed must have been incredible.
“Oh my... Are they really those that have been in their eggs for 300 years?”
The wyvern leader pondered with a serious expression.
A baby wyvern couldn't block the flames of an adult.
Everyone saw it clearly.
A single, sharp ray of red light stretched out from the spewed flames.
And it was the mark of a great wyvern, one that only appeared once in a thousand years.
Moiya and Moni returned to the palace, dropped Aoshi off in front of Rosie’s bedroom terrace, and headed straight to Zelda’s quarters.
The two opened Zelda’s bedroom window, entered, and hugged Zelda and Linel, respectively, as if they had made a promise.
It wasn’t scary, but the more they thought about being treated so poorly by these young wyverns, the more infuriated they became.
“Master~!”
“Your Majesty~!”
After making love, Zelda and Linel, who were just about to fall asleep, sat up, holding the two crying wyvern cubs in their arms like children.
“Why are you crying? What’s wrong?”
Zelda asked, patting the sobbing Moiya’s back.
“Did you two fight?”
Linel also tried to soothe Moni and talk to her.
Moiya and Moni, who had been crying sadly for a while, suddenly stopped crying at the same time.
“Moiya, let’s stop crying. My throat hurts, Moni~.”
“Yeah. It must hurt more since you breathed fire.”
Moni and Moiya immediately recovered as if they had never cried before, but Zelda and Linel continued to hold them like children.
“What’s wrong that you’re crying? Oh my! Moiya, what’s wrong with your eyes?!”
Zelda stroked Moiya’s head, then looked closely at his face, staring.
“What’s wrong? My eyes are swollen, Master?”
“Your eyes... are swollen? Who did this, yes?”
“...Oh? Really?”
Even the most insubordinate of them has never seen such insubordination.
How dare they do this to the eyes of this great wyvern, who is over 300 years old?
It’s already dark, so the bruise wouldn’t be visible, but if the master knows...
Moiya, who had been biting his lips, burst into tears again.
“Ugh, ugh! I’m going to go back and burn everything, Moiya~!”
“Ah! I’m going to get revenge!”
“Where the hell... have you been?”
Zelda asked, placing a hand on her heart as if trying to suppress the waves she felt in it.
Before she could finish, Prince Norton sat down next to her.
“There’s something I want to do.”
Since the Prince happened to be looking straight ahead when he spoke, Rosie glanced at the books on the sofa table and asked.
