“I-It’s delicious.”
“Seems like you are saying it forcefully.”
“…A-Absolutely not! I-I really like tea….”
Helen was embarrassed and stuttered repeatedly.
Helen couldn’t finish her words and her voice crawled back into her mouth when the concubines around her giggled and chuckled because they heard her stutter.
“Is that your habit?”
Helen nibbled on her lips while nodding her head.
Her plan where she must remain unnoticed by the Emperor was a huge disaster. Not only was she already noticed by the Emperor, but he already knew her too.
Oh s**t…!
Helen bit hard on her lips as if she would break it, and she felt a bloody taste in her mouth.
Only then did the Emperor avert his gaze away.
At first, the eyes of the concubines were unwelcoming once they realized the Emperor’s gaze was directed toward her, but after they turned away from her, she felt kind of relieved.
‘No wonder.’
She could feel that kind of remark in the eyes of the concubines.
Helen thought she was quite fortunate that her momentum had ended.
The Emperor grabbed the teacup and drank a slurp of tea. She could see the black hair of the Emperor between the veil which was opened slightly.
‘Black-colored hair…. It’s the same as him….’
As Helen suffered from some kind of withdrawal symptoms because she hasn’t seen the man in the past few days, just by seeing the things related to him has made her mind dizzy.
Wasn’t he a knight? He seemed to be really good at handling swords.
She hadn’t seen him handling the sword directly, but he showed up behind her without any forewarning, he even knocked off the assassins who came after him.
He must have been an outstanding knight.
If he was a knight… Did he also make an oath to another young lady by kissing her in his memories?
Such a thought suddenly made her feel strange.
She didn’t feel good to imagine him acting like a puppy who came to her when he was alone while being completely affectionate to others on the outside.
Helen stirred the tea nervously with a small teaspoon placed beside the teacup.
‘Or will he do it for me too?’
She imagined him holding her hand while kissing her lips at the hunting ground.
Like the man from earlier, I naturally remembered the appearance of climbing up and coming right in front of me. Similar to the man from earlier, the image of him running up to her and standing in front of her naturally came to mind.
‘I-I must have gone crazy!’
It is said that there are countless men in life, but it was not that man.
He only clung to her while thinking that she was his savior. It wasn’t love, and moreover, she was married.
I-I have to pull myself together.
Helen shook her head lightly and tried to shake off the imagination from her mind.
“Seems like Concubine Edith doesn’t really have fun in this teatime with me.”
