There are many royal families in history who are afraid of the night. Regardless of the East or the West, those who inherited the blood of the imperial family are always exposed to poison and assassination. For them, the heavy tension will be inseparable for a lifetime.

There were no subordinates in and out of the superior's quarters in the middle of the night. If Rita was visiting Charlize as an old friend of hers, why did she run away? Concerned, I gently sat down in a chair with only one lamp lit. Meanwhile, Charlize fell into a deep sleep as she exhaled evenly.

"She's fast asleep...as if her body wants to make up for lost sleep...... "

I stared at Charlize's charming face in her sleep. Even after returning home after a hard day's work, only such a desolate space awaits.

Sitting in her chair to watch Charlize, who was sleeping soundly, fell asleep at some point. Wooyeon was not awake in the middle of the night because she was a soft chair, not the hard wooden chair that the slaves had in the quarters.

***

How long has it been I heard someone calling me. I groaned at the warm feeling and crouched down. Then, at some point, I felt like my body was leaning backwards, and I just hit the back of my head on the floor.

My vision was still hazy. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand. I frowned and shook my head quickly, blinking in succession to focus. Then, arms crossed, Charlize, who was neatly dressed in knightly uniforms, caught my eye.

"I was wondering when you'd wake up".

"Char, Charlize? Since when have you been looking at me?"

"Good morning. Why don't you wipe the saliva from your mouth?"

She said while patting her lips. Embarrassed, I quickly wiped my mouth with my thumb, but I didn't feel the damp bite. Covering my mouth with the back of my hand, I narrowed my eyes.

"I-I didn't drool......"

"It's strange. I saw it earlier."

"Are you kidding me now?"

As I muttered, Charlize smiled mischievously and shrugged her shoulders.

"No? Why should I? I have no reason to."

Charlize said so and let go of the pretense. She sat in the same chair I had slept on and looked down at me with her legs crossed.

"I didn't know that Her Highness, the princess, had a childish side".

Charlize tilted her head as I spoke bluntly. Silky blonde hair flows along with her nod.

"Don't take my word for it, Creator. Why don't you try a different answer with your clever head?"

It was fortunate that Charlize's expression was much better than yesterday, as if she hadn't had a nightmare. Looking at me breathing a sigh of relief, she stood up from her seat.

"It's time to get up. You have a busy day ahead of you."

Charlize reached out to me, who was still sitting on the floor. I stared at her long, straight fingers like her personality and cautiously raised my hand. Charlize pulled me up as soon as I raised my hand. Charlize let go of my hand only after I got her centered.

Just in time, there was a knock on the door in quick succession. Charlize and I turned our heads as if we had promised.

"Her Highness Princess Charlize, this is Rita. May I come in?"
