The water in the bathtub rippled violently as he stood up so passionately.
The water hit my face like a wave.
I wiped the water running down my face with my hand and looked up at him.
"Look?"
Linel shouted again. He told me to look, and I did.
The water hit my face like a wave.
I wiped the water running down my face with my hand and looked up at him.
"Look?"
Linel shouted again. He told me to look, and I did.
"...Yes, you're all soaked."
I said, looking at his soaked black uniform pants.
"Oh, I forgot I was wearing clothes."
Unlike the confident air he had when he had stood up, he cautiously sat back down in the bathtub.
A moment later, his hands moved busily in the tub, causing the bubbles floating in the water to sway back and forth.
"Your Majesty... What are you doing?"
"I need to wash too,"
Linel replied, lifting his uniform pants like seaweed from the bathtub.
As soon as he tossed them onto the bathroom floor, his activity grew even busier.
“You’d better wash up and head to bed. I’ll be thoroughly exploited there,”
He said, his eyes brimming with passion as he washed himself.
He looked as if he was eagerly anticipating being exploited.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work today. Even though you’re the Lord of the Wyverns, you must have been nervous because it was your first time meeting them.”
“Yes, but it was reassuring that Bellos came with me.”
“What else did the Magic Tower Master do besides teleportation? He must have felt reassured by Moiya and Moni.”
As the female Galaco slowly approached, the males who had been dancing the snake dance began to fight, baring their teeth at each other.
In short, it was like two males fighting over one female.
Moiya and Moni watched in amazement, holding their stomachs and laughing, as if they were watching something bizarre and amusing with the sight of these two creatures with the same body.
“Guys, fighting is useless! But Moni, stopping a fight... isn’t that a hassle?”
Moiya asked Moni, recalling Zelda and the Magic Tower Master’s words about not causing trouble.
“Oh, right!”
“Oh? Then I’m a good person, so I should break up the fight, right, Moiya~?”
Moiya said solemnly, placing both hands on her hips.
“What are we going to do?”
“Even though we’re beasts, we have to mate one at a time like humans.”
Moiya said, unfolding hia own mating theory.
“But male Galacos have two heads?”
“So we have to blow one of their heads off. That way they won’t fight, right, Moiya~?”
Moni clapped her hands at Moiya's clear answer.
"Wow, you're really, really smart! But which head are you going to blow off?"
"That... I'll decide very fairly."
"How?"
"Watch carefully."
Moiya's shoulders rose at Moni's praise, and he pointed at the two male snake heads alternately with his fingers, concentrating on his careful choice.
"Which head will you choose~ Let's guess~ Ding dong daeng- Kang!"
"?"
"The left head wins. Kwaaak-!"
Moiya quickly blew fire at the left head of the two snake heads.
Kki-ieeeeng-!!
The torso flapped its wings to put out the fire, but the other head on the right, to prevent the flames from spreading to itself, moved its head away from the left head, putting distance between them.
Eventually, the left Galaco head writhed in agony and burned to death.
“Now that there’s a male and a female, let’s get along, okay, Moiya~?”
Moiya said as if admonishing them and moved to the next cell.
Moiya used the same method to merge the two snake heads of the male Galacos into one.
Moni joined in, breathing fire, and Moiya quickly came up with a solution for peaceful mating.
“Let’s go back. Master will be worried.”
“Since we were good today, why don’t we go ask Sharon for lots of sausages, Moiya~?”
“But are you going to leave them all alive? You said we’d fight each other?”
“They’re locked up. It’s not fair for them to fight like this.”
Moiya glanced at the Galacos, each of whom had only one head left, and then turned away coolly.
“What do you two have to do?”
Roxana asked Melanie again, mockingly.
“What I couldn’t finish with Hetor yesterday...”
At that moment, Hetor cut Melanie off and stood up from his chair.
“Your Majesty, you should go now.”
If she didn’t intervene, she would tell Roxana exactly what happened last night.
“What are you interrupting me for?”
Roxana followed Hetor and asked curiously.
“Sword training. I left it unfinished last night.”
Melanie smirked, glancing at Hetor’s tense face.
“Swordsmanship? Melanie, you’re learning swordsmanship from Hetor?”
“Yes, even a woman should know how to protect herself.”
“Hohoho. I wonder if it’s necessary to learn swordsmanship to protect a body that no one can touch.”
Roxana said sarcastically, tapping her shoulder and leaving the room.
“Ha...”
Melanie glared at the door Roxana had left.
A moment later, Hetor, who had gone out to see Roxana off, returned to the room.
“Why did the Empress come to your palace?”
“You heard earlier. She came to discuss something.”
“So what is it?”
“You don’t have to know,”
Hetor replied with a complicated expression.
“Why can’t you tell me in a secret conversation?”
“Even if it wasn’t a secret conversation, there’s no reason to tell you everything we talked about, right?”
I said, looking at his soaked black uniform pants.
"Oh, I forgot I was wearing clothes."
Unlike the confident air he had when he had stood up, he cautiously sat back down in the bathtub.
A moment later, his hands moved busily in the tub, causing the bubbles floating in the water to sway back and forth.

“Yes, but it was reassuring that Bellos came with me.”
“What else did the Magic Tower Master do besides teleportation? He must have felt reassured by Moiya and Moni.”
Linel said, feeling unnecessarily upset.
“That’s true. Since they haven’t come yet, I guess they went to Rosie’s quarters today.”
I tried to appease him.
“Don’t you think they know their master needs to cool down tonight and won’t come?”
“Yes, sometimes they have such admirable thoughts.”
I replied with a laugh.
He laughed along, taking my feet and placing them on his chest, massaging them.
“Linel... This is such an embarrassing and rude position.”
“Don’t you feel better?”
I watched him diligently massaging my feet with a serious expression, a playful spark in my mind.
“It’s only natural for my feet to feel cool when they’re resting on your cold body, right? Moni~?”
“That’s true. Since they haven’t come yet, I guess they went to Rosie’s quarters today.”
I tried to appease him.
“Don’t you think they know their master needs to cool down tonight and won’t come?”
“Yes, sometimes they have such admirable thoughts.”

“Don’t you feel better?”
I watched him diligently massaging my feet with a serious expression, a playful spark in my mind.
“It’s only natural for my feet to feel cool when they’re resting on your cold body, right? Moni~?”
I mimicked Moni’s tone,
“Are you... Moni?”
He paused, his hands gently massaging my feet. He stared at me with a suspicious look, asking. Finding his confusion amusing, I deliberately confused him even more.
“I’m Zelda, right, Moni~?”
“No way, you're not?”
He continued to stare at me with a half-believing gaze. I made a playful expression and began to dance, alternating my shoulders. Then Linel’s stiff expression relaxed, and he shook his head.
“You’re my wife.”
I was a little disappointed that he recognized me so quickly.
“How did you know?”
“Moni bounces her shoulders twice.”
“...Was there a detail like that?”
“And she doesn’t dance this sexy.”
Linel nodded, gently caressing my shoulder, then, saying this wasn't the time, spurred me on to the bath. I surrendered myself completely to him from the bathroom, and in the blink of an eye, I was on the bed.
"How's the fever?"
"There's a large ice cube sitting in the bathtub, so the fever has completely dissipated."
"So, you're not asking me to disappear to the main palace now, are you?"
"Of course. Right now, I want it. It's not because of the fever..."
I lay back on the bed, my arms wrapped around his neck. Linel followed my lead.
"I love you."
His voice was deep and deep, but his gaze seemed somewhat impatient.
"I wouldn't believe you just by hearing it. Prove it."
Actions spoke louder than words. I lifted my chin slightly, urging him on.
"That skeptical attitude is very desirable. Doubt it again and again. Then I'll prove it to you all night."
His gentle hands cradled me, and my eyes closed. A coolness spread from head to toe. I knew he was watching my face right now. So I closed my eyes, smiled, and whispered pleadingly,
"Your Majesty... Linel... My dear..."
"Huh?"
"Prove it quickly..."
How much he loves me.
“Zelda, I’ll prove it to you one by one. The first one to prove it is His Majesty.”
Next will be Linel, and last will be my husband, who will prove his love.
“Madam, you won’t be bored. His Majesty, Linel, and your husband all have different styles.”
He gave each of the three titles, and I called him a different personality.
“Oh my, I feel like I’ve taken in several concubines like some people.”
“And the anticipation is tripled?”
He buried his face in the nape of my neck with the solemn voice of an Emperor.
“Yes, Your Majesty...”
Moni, who had been flying in pursuit of the cries of Galaco heard near the castle walls, landed on the spire roof at the end of the wall.
“Are you all here, Moni~?”
“Let’s go in quickly.”
The two wyvern cubs held hands and climbed the spire roof inside.
A large bell hung beneath the roof.
In front of the bell was a long corridor, one wall entirely made of iron bars, a prison.
The Galacos were locked in five cells.
There were ten Galacos in total, with two in each cell.
With two heads per body, at first glance, they looked like twenty, not ten.
“Ugh, there really are two snake heads on one body, right, Moni~?”
Moni frowned, watching the Galacos flicking their snake tongues threateningly at her through the iron bars.
“Huh? What are those with one head?”
“These two-headed ones are attacking each other, so I guess they’re females!”
As Moiya suspected, the monstrous female Galacos had one head.
Male Galacos with two heads were much more ferocious than females. And while they share a single body, the two heads are distinct entities with their own identities.
That’s why they fight fiercely not only when feeding, but also when fighting over females.
Mating was only possible with the female's permission, so competition among the males was bound to be fierce.
Because of this, the chances of successful mating between Galaco were low, and even if they did, the chances of the female laying eggs were extremely low.
Fortunately, increasing the Galaco population was tricky.
That's why they kept a male and female Galaco in the same cell.
"But back then, the Galaco I saw in Elanji Forest all had two heads. Isn't that strange, Moiya~?"
"I guess they only let the males out back then."
"Aha. Ow? They're fighting."
As the female signaled with a sticky cry, the two male heads that had been threatening Moiya and Moni suddenly began to dance, shaking their snake heads up and down.
"They really do their courtship dance, don't they, Moiya~?"
"That's right. They can't dance as gracefully as we wyverns, right?"
Moni shrugged, admiring the male galaco's snake dance.
How much he loves me.
“Zelda, I’ll prove it to you one by one. The first one to prove it is His Majesty.”
Next will be Linel, and last will be my husband, who will prove his love.
“Madam, you won’t be bored. His Majesty, Linel, and your husband all have different styles.”

Melanie bit her lower lip, her face filled with regret.
“Hmm, why did you come?”
Hetor asked, averting his gaze from her face.
“I just came to see you. And ‘we’ have something to talk about too.”
“What?”
“The kiss yesterday...”
“Yesterday... was a mistake,”
Hetor said coolly.
He steeled himself, thinking that he had clearly been intoxicated by the atmosphere yesterday.
He really had no intention of kissing her so roughly that she would lose her mind.
“Me too.”
Melanie spoke as if she had been waiting.
“...What?”
Hetor was slightly flustered.
He had said that first, and now that Melanie had said it, he felt a pang of disappointment.
“I said it was a mistake, too. It was night and dark, so I guess we were both intoxicated by the atmosphere.”
Melanie’s words made Hetor feel strange, but he pretended not to notice and continued calmly.
“That’s good to know.”
“So...”
Melanie trailed off with a troubled expression, then spoke in a profound voice.
“Let’s try again.”
“What?!”
“Actually, I think we’ll have to try again to see if it was really a mistake or not!”
Melanie lifted herself up on tiptoe.
Melanie bit her lower lip, her face filled with regret.
