“Don’t take it away. I was just trying to warm you up.”
Kwaaak-!
Moiya, as if he didn’t believe me, immediately blew fire from his mouth, grilling the sausage until golden brown.
“I can do it too!”
“...Yes, eat it quickly.”
I smiled, comforting Moiya, who was slightly excited.
“You’d better avoid the rain. Let’s go to the carriage quickly.”
At Linel’s words, we all headed to the waiting carriage.
Rams continued to sob loudly. Rosie held him in her arms and tried to comfort him, but when he wouldn’t stop crying, she moved him to Prince Norton’s arms, but it was no use.
“I think it’s because he’s cold... I’ll hold him. He’ll warm up soon.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Prince Norton handed Rams to me.
As we walked to the carriage, I held Rams tightly in my arms, gathering warmth in my arms and chest.
Fortunately, Rams, feeling the warmth in my arms, gradually began to stop crying.
Inside the carriage, there were towels and blankets that they had prepared at the palace.
As soon as I entered, I stripped off Rams's rain-soaked clothes and dried him with the towel. Since Rams had no clothes to change into, I had no choice but to carefully wrap him in a blanket, then wrap him in another blanket and hold him in my arms.
Rams, who had been shivering from the cold, gradually calmed down. His pale cheeks also regained their vitality.
I looked down at Rams and smiled in relief.
"I guess we'll see that a lot when our child is born,"
He said, sitting in front of me, staring intently at me as I held Rams.
"Does it look warm?"
I asked with a smile, but he opened his mouth with a rather serious look.
"No. You look too... sexy."
Kwaaak-!
Moiya, as if he didn’t believe me, immediately blew fire from his mouth, grilling the sausage until golden brown.
“I can do it too!”
“...Yes, eat it quickly.”
I smiled, comforting Moiya, who was slightly excited.

"Does it look warm?"
I asked with a smile, but he opened his mouth with a rather serious look.
"No. You look too... sexy."
"!"
The unexpected answer left me speechless.
His voice was so firm.
I thought asking, "Are you joking?" would have angered him.
My body suddenly heated up, and I could imagine how red my face must have been.
It wasn't just the two of us in the carriage.
What on earth was that man doing?
Prince Norton sat next to Linel, and Rosie sat next to me.
"Ahem ahem...!"
Prince Norton opened and closed the carriage window for no reason.
"Oh my..."
Rosie lowered her head, feeling even more embarrassed.
The two of them couldn't bring themselves to say anything to the Emperor, so they just kept raising and lowering the corners of their lips as if they were biting something.
But Moiya wouldn't hold back.
"Huh, you're so sexy, Moiya~."
There were even baby wyverns in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, you're even sexier when you say such things, Moni~."
Moni, who was Linel's lover, looked at him with affectionate eyes.
"Your Majesty... You have many ears to hear."
I gave him a hint and glared.
"I see. I only have eyes for you, so I thought it was just the two of us."
He answered calmly, smiling.
Embarrassed, my body felt even hotter.
I wanted to immediately get out of the carriage and get drenched again.
'Haa, why are you saying such nonsense!'
What should I do? I can feel the heat rising in my stomach...
"Rosie, let's switch seats with me."
Linel said to Rosie, squinting his eyes as if observing my complexion.
He seemed to have noticed my fever, too.
Well, my face was flushed, so he couldn't have not noticed.
"...Huh? Yes, Your Majesty."
Rosie, bewildered, immediately lifted her butt off the chair and switched seats with him. Could it be that he was asking her to switch seats because...?
Eh, that couldn't be right?
'Right. Several eyes are watching us right now, couldn't it be?'
He sat down next to me and glanced at me with a gaze that fueled my anxiety.
"Why, why?"
"That's not an appropriate question for the Emperor."
This man always used the title "Emperor" at times like this.
He stared at me intently.
"...Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why do you think so?"
He seemed to know, but asked me a question instead. I felt like if I kept this up, his lips would just slam into mine, so I gave him a look that suggested he should be mindful of the two humans and the wyvern before him.
He nodded, perhaps understanding the meaning in my gaze, then looked straight ahead and spoke.
“Every living being within, listen up.”
“Yes, I am listening,”
Moiya replied, mimicking his voice.
Moiya and Moni sat side by side on the shelf on the carriage wall, their legs crossed in unison, looking down at us directly.
“Everyone, keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them. It would be even better if you could sleep like Rams.”
At Linel’s unexpected command, Rosie and Prince Norton looked at each other and shrugged simultaneously.
“Your Majesty, what is the matter?”
Prince Norton asked curiously.
Linel, as if he had been waiting for the question, began to explain.
“According to the Magic Tower Master’s diagnosis, if Zelda develops a fever, I must relieve it. That way...”
Ah, I wanted to cover his mouth with my own.
But I was a little worried about the heat gathering in my stomach, so I suppressed my embarrassment.
The two of them, who had been listening intently to Linel, closed their eyes simultaneously.
“Please hurry before the fever rises. I wanted to get some shut-eye anyway.”
“Yes, don’t worry about us,”
Prince Norton and Rosie said, their eyes tightly shut.
Well, closing your eyes is fine, but why are you covering your ears?
Before the embarrassment and shame could even subside, his lips suddenly brushed mine.
“But you know? Will you really give me a lot of sausages when I go to the palace... Gosh, you’ve already started eating lips, haven’t you, Moiya~?”
Moiya raised a hand as if questioning, his eyes slightly open.
Are you only thinking about sausages?
But thanks to Moiya’s love for sausages, Rams’ life had been saved, so there was no way to say anything.
“Moiya is so clueless, Moni~.”
Moni covered Moiya’s eyes with her hand.
What a special person.
“As expected, our pretty Moni is quick-witted.”
Moni smirked with her eyes closed at Linel’s compliment.
“Your Majesty, Moni only does pretty things because I'm pretty, right?”
“Well then. Of all the females I know, Moni is the prettiest.”
“Heehee.”
Perhaps because he told her she was pretty, Moni pressed her hand harder against Moiya’s eye.
“Ugh, don’t press on it, Moni. My eyes will fall out, Moiya~!”
As I watched the two bickering, his cold hand touched my face.
I felt his cool body heat, and my body temperature slowly began to decrease.
Fortunately, only the exaggerated sensation of heat subsided; my body temperature remained high, so Rams, who was in my arms, would still feel my embrace warm.
As I kept pulling away, self-conscious, he whispered in my ear.
“It’s better to do it right this first time and bring down the fever quickly.”
“...”
His face was getting closer.
Thinking about it, I realized he was right, so I nodded, glancing between the two people sitting in front of me and Moiya and Moni, who were covering their eyes on the shelf.
With my permission, he pressed his lips against mine.
Even the light kiss made me feel lighter.
It felt like the seasons were changing from midsummer to cool late autumn.
That's why I couldn't break free from his lips.
After our kiss, he gently stroked my back and stomach.
Then, when he saw Rams's cute face cooing in his sleep, he stroked Rams's head too.
"Echwi-ee!"
Coincidentally, Rams sneezed the moment his cold hand touched hers.
"No, please switch seats. Rams will get cold if you stay next to him."
"...I guess so. Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, the fever has gone down a lot."
"Already?"
He asked with a regretful expression.
"Echwi!"
But when Rams sneezed again, he had no choice but to switch seats with Rosie again.
"...Rams is the most clueless, Moni~,"
Moni muttered with her eyes closed.
The royal family of the Pasha Empire on the Southern Continent.
Prince Calvain and Princess Jasper read a letter sent by Princess Resilia from the Lapion Empire.
The two placed the letter on the table and had tea.
"What are you planning to do?"
Princess Jasper asked Prince Calvain, elegantly lifting her teacup.
"Of course, we should marry Princess Resilia to Norton."
“When you stayed at the Lapion Imperial Palace, we did try to bring them together, didn’t we? Why did you hide it then?”
Princess Jasper looked uneasy.
She picked up the letter again.
Princess Resilia’s letter also mentioned Rosie.
“Judging by the letter, it seems Prince Norton had developed a crush on Her Highness Rosie... Did he already have a falling out with Princess Resilia and keep it quiet?”
Princess Resilia’s letter described Norton and Rosie as if they were having an affair.
However, if Emperor Linel was willing to give up his concubine to a foreign Prince, it was clear that their relationship was not ordinary.
“What’s there to worry about? They even have a child together. And it’s a son, isn’t it?”
Prince Calvain paid no attention to Norton’s feelings.
“But... judging by the letter, if Emperor Linel is trying to bring Her Highness Rosie together with Prince Norton, it seems like their relationship is unusual.”
"Jasper, feelings change. Just like us."
Princess Jasper's last words sent shivers down her spine.
"And we need Rams. To that end, it's better to treat her like his biological mother."
Prince Calvin took Princess Jasper's hand, unable to bear children, and stroked her back. Her facial muscles trembled slightly.
"I don't think we should force Prince Norton and Her Highness Rosie apart. If he already has no feelings for Princess Resilia, I don't think we should force them to marry."
Princess Jasper asserted her opinion rather firmly.
"First, we should persuade Norton to marry Princess Resilia, and if that doesn't work, we'll have to try another method."
If that doesn't work, instead of just marrying them, she'll have to try another method?
What method?
'Are you trying to get rid of Her Highness Rosie?'
Calvain, with his cruel nature, would have more than enough.
"So you killed your older brother, the First Prince, and seized control of the Pasha Empire."
Princess Jasper clenched her teeth.
The image of her husband dying at the sword wielded by Prince Calvain was still vivid.
That day, her happiness had died, too. She had intended to follow the First Prince to his death, but changed her mind.
It wouldn't be too late to die after avenging her husband.
She and others believed that the Second Prince, Calvain, had gotten rid of his older brother out of a lust for power, but in truth, he had sought to possess her, his brother's wife and sister-in-law. He had to kill his brother to possess her, and he had to become the Emperor of the Pasha Empire to keep her by his side.
Prince Calvain had told her this repeatedly, but she never believed him.
"He's using me because he's blinded by power."
Convinced of this, Princess Jasper deliberately took a potion that would prevent her from having children, lying that she was naturally infertile.
She didn't want Prince Calvain's bloodline to pass on to the world.
In any case, due to the scandal surrounding the Pasha royal family, the coronation of Emperor Calvain was postponed indefinitely, and only recently was a date set for the coronation.
The Emperor's seat could not be left vacant for long, so an agreement was reached among the ministers.
However, the position of Empress was a different story.
Princess Jasper's family was so weak that they had no voice among the ministers.
And she wanted to postpone the wedding as long as possible.
However, if Prince Calvain ascended to the throne, the wedding would take place sooner or later.
Therefore, the perfect time for revenge was the day of the Emperor's coronation.
Princess Jasper pretended to drink tea and asked him again,
"What will you do if Prince Norton insists on marrying Her Highness Rosie?"
"I will kill him."
His words were firm and unhesitating.
The unexpected answer left me speechless.
His voice was so firm.
I thought asking, "Are you joking?" would have angered him.
My body suddenly heated up, and I could imagine how red my face must have been.
It wasn't just the two of us in the carriage.
