It was an excuse. Lasilia jumped up from the sofa.


What was the shock? It looked so distant. It hurt to speak every time, but today the Emperor was dazzling. During that short period of time, he came back with a solid growth. At this point, she wondered if the Emperor was a being who lived to dress up every day.


"It doesn't seem necessary."


"Why?"


When Lasilia got up, the Emperor followed suit.


"It was already a few hours ago that I fell into the water, and even if I was shocked, it would have all gone."


"It's not."


"And wouldn't the drowning person have suffered more if they were shocked? I ask that you be considerate of my feelings as well."


"Ah... I must have."


Her physical condition wasn't bad enough to say such a thing, but she had the heart to pretend to be sick in order to separate herself from the annoying Emperor.


"My consideration was lacking. It was you who fell into the water."


"Yes, so..."


But that wasn't the case.


"You need to rest." The Emperor hugged her without warning.


"Your majesty! Let go. You don't have to do this."


"I will let go. After I put you on the bed."


"No, you don't have to..."


"You haven't been able to stand properly for a while. I will do more because you are the one who fell into the water."


"..."


The reason Lasilia shut her mouth was because the words that she couldn't even stand up sounded like the truth.


Pushing the door of her bedroom with his shoulder, the Emperor strode towards the bed. Eventually, Lasilia was speechless until she lay down on the bed.
