“Is that why Yulina visited Pecilini Palace yesterday?”
“Yes, even though I’m right here, she's insisting on going only to Her Highness Pecilini? How cruel.”
Melanie pestered me, cursing at Yulina.
“You’re going, right? You have to go.”
“Is there a reason for us to go too?”
“I’m not doing this because I want to go to the hot springs.”
Melanie suddenly lowered her voice with a solemn expression.
“Then?”
“I’m going because I’m worried about Her Highness Pecilini.”
What does that mean?
“Worried about Pecilini?”
“What if the islanders from the Principality of Aklatto band together and force Her Highness Pecilini into the hot springs?”
“!”
“Or you could just make her drink water?”
“!”
Melanie wrapped her arms around herself and trembled as if she had witnessed a murder right before her eyes.
“There are watching eyes, so I can’t do that.”
“Empress Roxana knows if Her Highness Pecilini is carrying His Majesty's child.”
Melanie narrowed her eyes and spoke with a profound expression, as if my words were meaningless.
“Hmm...”
I took a moment to think.
Roxana wouldn’t overtly harm Pecilini as Melanie claimed, but there was a possibility that they would harass her in some subtle way.
Besides, I, Melanie, and Rosie were all absent.
Even if there were many watching eyes, what if they were all Roxana’s close associates?
I didn’t hesitate for long.
“They’d think it strange if we suddenly showed up...”
Was there any way to naturally join in?
“Don’t worry. I told Yulina that we’ve already made plans to go to the spa today.”
Melanie replied with a grin.
She had already started the process yesterday and had come to ask for my permission.
“But if we’re going, shouldn’t we invite Catherine too?”
It seemed like it would be better to have all the concubines attend.
“Huh, Her Highness Catherine decided to go too. I felt a little betrayed, didn’t I? But since we’re both from the Lapion Empire, I tried to take care of her.”
“Really?”
“Yes. If Empress Roxana and Her Highness Catherine were standing next to each other, their gazes alone would be enough to kill a man. Oh my, I already feel sorry for Her Highness Pesilini, who’s stuck between them.”
Melanie kept provoking me, deliberately putting Pesilini in front, because she wanted to go to the hot springs.
Of course, I could sense that Melanie was really worried about Pesilini.
“Yes. Let’s go.”
“Really? Are we really going to the hot springs too?”
“Yes. After lunch, there’s still time, so let’s go to my quarters. The cypress forest where the hot springs are is accessible from my quarters via the West Palace, so I think it’d be easier if we all took my carriage.”
“Good! Then I’ll go get ready right away and then go to Her Highness Rosie’s quarters. Come straight there.”
“Yes. Wouldn’t it be better to pick you up by 1:30?”
“Yes. Oh, and this.”
Melanie handed me the box she had brought.
“What’s this? Was it for me?”
“It’s a dress to wear in the hot springs. Since there are no hot springs in the Kingdom of Shattonil, I thought you might not know, so I brought it for you. I have several other dresses.”
“Yes, even though I’m right here, she's insisting on going only to Her Highness Pecilini? How cruel.”
Melanie pestered me, cursing at Yulina.
“You’re going, right? You have to go.”
“Is there a reason for us to go too?”

“Thank you. I would have been in trouble if you hadn’t brought it for me.”
“I brought one for Her Highness Rosie, too.”
Melanie looked thrilled.
I opened the box and examined the dress.
The dress for the hot springs was very simple.
It was made of a fabric that wouldn’t show through when wet, and the hem wouldn’t billow out.
“The gift Yulina brought Her Highness Pecilini yesterday was also a dress for the hot springs.”
“Is this a similar design?”
“Yes, all the dresses the nobles wear in the hot springs are the same.”
As Melanie had described, the dress did not reveal much of Pecilini's figure, even though her belly was starting to grow.
"Then I'll see you later!"
"Yes, see you later."
Shortly after Melanie left, the Magic Tower Lord came to my residence for a checkup.
Sometimes I went to the main palace, but sometimes the Magic Tower Lord came to my residence himself.
"I'll be visiting you more and more from now on."
Magic Tower Lord said with a smile after finishing the examination.
"As my belly grows, right?"
I made circles with both hands.
"Yes."
Magic Tower Lord smiled and took a long sip of the strawberry juice Sharon had brought him.
"Are you having a good time?"
I asked, stroking my stomach.
"It seems very active. Are you feeling any discomfort?"
"No. The fever has also decreased significantly since the imprint with the Incarnation Sword."
"As I mentioned, the imprint with the Incarnation Sword has released the old fever that has been bothering you, Zelda, so you won't feel the same pain as before."
"Yes, and I don't feel much fever from the burn scar on my face. Of course, I've been taking the magic potion that Magic Tower Lord made for me regularly, but..."
I stroked the burn scar on my right side for the first time in a while.
"That too is probably caused by the imprint with the Incarnation Sword. However, the magic potion I made for you only has a temporary effect."
"I know. Still, the burn scar hasn't popped up like before yet. Could this be a side effect of the imprint?"
"It's likely. But I'll make a cure for you next spring, as promised."
He remembered that the herb used in the cure, 'Kelvarn,' only grows in the Principality of Aklatto.
"Thank you. I don't know how to repay you. I wish there was something I could do to help you, Magic Tower Lord."
"I have a small request..."
Magic Tower Lord hesitated, then shyly spoke.
"Go ahead."
"From now on, please call me by my name."
"?"
No matter how fresh and youthful his appearance was, calling someone over two hundred by their name felt difficult.
However, it wasn't a difficult request, so he cautiously opened his mouth.
"...Have a good day, Lord Bellos."
"It would be better if you omitted the word 'Lord.'"
I opened the box and examined the dress.
The dress for the hot springs was very simple.
It was made of a fabric that wouldn’t show through when wet, and the hem wouldn’t billow out.

"...Have a good day, Lord Bellos."
"It would be better if you omitted the word 'Lord.'"
Magic Tower Lord couldn't hide his delight, blushing as he did so, making me forget his age. Fuck, I don't know. If that's what you want, then so be it."
"Yes. Bellos. I'll be going now."
"...That's good to hear. Yes, I'll be going now."
Magic Tower Lord stared blankly at my face, then smiled and opened the bedroom door.
Oh, could he be so moved?
As I approached to see him off, the Magic Tower Lord turned to me and said quietly,
"But I didn't ask you to leave, Lady Zelda."
Ah.
The Magic Tower Lord was in a good mood all the way out of Zelda's quarters and toward the main palace.
The cheerful voice Zelda had accidentally spoken to him lingered in his ears.
When he told her, as they left the bedroom door, that he hadn't asked her to leave, she blinked, her mouth open in embarrassment.
She was so adorable that he wanted to say a few more words, but he felt it would shake his resolve to give up, so he boldly turned away.
It was the first time in over two hundred years that a woman had spoken to him, so it was quite a refreshing stimulus.
"Why does this old man keep flirting with our master?"
A familiar grumble made Bellos look around.
Two sparrows were circling around him.
“It’s Moiya and Moni,”
Bellos said to the sparrows in a displeased tone.
“If you harbor even the slightest impure thought toward our master, this great wyvern will breathe fire on you, right, Moiya~?”
“I never did.”
“Oh? We saw it all through the window. Why do you get so red and upset whenever our master speaks?”
“That’s right. I thought you were going to explode, Moni~.”
Moiya and Moni chased after Bellos and nagged at him.
“Did Emperor Linel order you to keep watch?”
Bellos opened his mouth, feeling slightly wronged, but then closed it again, as if he was trying to make excuses for the baby wyverns.
“Bellos, there’s something I’m curious about, Moni~?”
“What is it?”
“Can you really forget our master?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“If the great wyvern asks, you should answer.”
“I don’t think I have a reason to answer.”
“You can’t forget, you can’t forget.”
Moni crossed her arms and shook her head.
"Wait, where did I put the fork I gave the Cold Body?"
Moiya glared at Bellos and his core.
"Why are you suddenly looking for a fork?"
Bellos asked, sensing an ominous note.
"I'm warning you, you'd better be careful. I can take it off in the blink of an eye!"
"What?"
“Here, guard it well.”
Moiya pecked the center of the magic tower master's pants once with his small sparrow beak.
“W-What are you doing? Seriously.”
It didn’t hurt, but Bellos’s feet jumped into the air in surprise.
“It’s a warning. Get your mind off our master. If you don’t, I’ll get out of that place. You’re nothing compared to that cold body of yours.”
“!”
Bellos wanted to ask what he meant by “incomparable” and how great Emperor Linel was.
But he held back, feeling that hearing it would hurt even more, so he held back.
“It’s annoying, so don’t follow me.”
Bellos waved a hand and quickened his pace.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Moni~. We have business to attend to, too.”
“Where? To the main palace?”
“No, we’re going to the hot springs to warm ourselves up, Moiya~.”
The two wyverns flew into the cypress forest between the main palace and the Empress’s palace, leaving the magic tower lord behind.
Three hours later, the main palace office.
Knock, knock, knock—
Two sparrows knocked on the office window.
“What on earth is that sound...?”
Raphael, who was standing in front of Linel’s desk, turned his head and looked at the window.
“Your Highness, two sparrows are knocking with their beaks outside the window right now?”
“It’s them. Open it.”
He raised his head from his papers, glanced at the window, and gave an order with a grin.
Raphael walked to the window and opened it, and the two sparrows flew into the office.
“Excuse me.”
“Moni too.”
The two baby wyverns greeted him politely.
“Did you stop by after playing in the forest? But what should we do? There are no sausages in the office.”
“Sharon already gave us plenty of sausages.”
Moiya said as he circled around the office and landed on Raphael’s head.
Moni landed gently on the desk where Linel was sitting and looked at him lovingly.
“Why do you think it’s cool to see you working?”
Linel asked Moni, raising the corners of his mouth as he stopped looking through his documents.
“Ah! It’s cool to flirt with the Master, but His Majesty, working is also cool, Moni~.”
“Flirting...to think that’s flirting. ”
He glared at Moni with a stern expression.
"...That's good to hear. Yes, I'll be going now."
Magic Tower Lord stared blankly at my face, then smiled and opened the bedroom door.
Oh, could he be so moved?
As I approached to see him off, the Magic Tower Lord turned to me and said quietly,

Linel asked Moni, raising the corners of his mouth as he stopped looking through his documents.
“Ah! It’s cool to flirt with the Master, but His Majesty, working is also cool, Moni~.”
“Flirting...to think that’s flirting. ”
He glared at Moni with a stern expression.
“Moni, that’s harsh. Don’t you feel bad for Mr. Cold Body, struggling to be loved by the Master?”
“Flirting... flirting? How could you belittle my love for our Master like that?”
Hearing the word “flirting” after flirting, Linel felt insignificant for the first time in his life.
“Ugh, ugh.”
Raphael smiled, showing his teeth without realizing it.
“Laughing?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Raphael pressed his lips together and politely folded his hands in front of him.
“Poor Raphael, you’ve had a hard time, Moiya~.”
Moiya comforted Raphael in a mature tone.
“You should be more mindful of yourself.”
Raphael whispered to Moiya, who had descended from his crown to his shoulder.
“Life is too much to even take care of sausages. That kind of thing is for you, weaklings.”
“!”
Raphael clutched his chest and made a hurt expression.
He was angry, but he had nothing to say when he tried to refute her.
Sadly, Moiya’s words were right, and Raphael’s heart ached even more.
Linel, who had suddenly become a man prone to tantrums and outbursts, was also very uncomfortable.
He spoke with a deliberately stern tone, intending to shoo Moiya and Moni out of the office.
“As you can see, I am very busy. Go and play with your master.”
“We would too, but she’s not at her quarters.”
“Did she go to Rosie’s quarters?”
He muttered to himself, and Moni shook her head.
“No, she’s at the hot springs with the concubines, Moni~.”
“Hot springs? She went to the hot springs?”
"Yeah, we were already there playing, but the concubines swarmed over, so we had no choice but to give up."
Moiya replied with a voice thick with regret.
There were two hot springs around the palace.
One was in the cypress forest, and the other was in the forest just before entering the castle grounds.
The hot springs outside the palace were mainly used by knights and nobles, so if the concubines had gone, it would have been inside the palace.
"You mean the hot springs on the way to the martial arts center?"
“Yeah. Heehee, I just snuck into the hot springs and came back, Moiya~.”
“Ugh, why are there bubbles popping up all of a sudden!”
Moni glared at Moiya in disgust.
“So, you’re saying Zelda is in the hot springs, too?”
“Ouch? Would I be talking nonsense after eating expensive sausages?”
Moiya muttered and pouted.
“Are there only concubines in the hot springs?”
“No, there’s Miss Jjugle too?”
“Who?”
“The mean-looking woman who lives in our master’s palace.”
“Roxana too... is there?”
Linel narrowed her brows.
“Ugh! That red-haired one in the hot springs opens her eyes like this~ so meanly and stares at our master, Moiya~?”
Moni mimicked Roxana’s expression quite closely.
Linel closed the papers he was reading and got up from hia chair.
“Your Majesty... There’s still a mountain of papers, so why are you getting up?”
Raphael blocked the Emperor's path and asked,
"Why are you asking if you already know?"
"Are you really going to the spa?"
"Yes. Don't bother me and get out of the way."
“Flirting... flirting? How could you belittle my love for our Master like that?”
Hearing the word “flirting” after flirting, Linel felt insignificant for the first time in his life.

"Are you really going to the spa?"
"Yes. Don't bother me and get out of the way."
"But I think the concubines will be uncomfortable if His Majesty appears?"
Raphael patted himself with both hands, trying to stop himself.
Then Linel asked Moiya and Moni,
"They all went into the spa with their clothes on, right?"
"Oh? I didn't see that far?"
Moiya tilted his head in confusion.
"Hmm, we'll see once we get there."
He strode over and opened the office door.
"Your Majesty! This could be embarrassing for everyone. Please exercise caution!"
If the concubines weren't properly clothed, it would be a dizzying sight to even imagine...
"How can you walk so lightly?"
Linel ignored Raphael's protests.
He turned to Raphael, who was lost in thought, and answered with a lightness that matched his stride.
"Then... you can take off your clothes."
Then it's fair, right?
Raphael patted himself with both hands, trying to stop himself.
Then Linel asked Moiya and Moni,
"They all went into the spa with their clothes on, right?"
