"Mmm."


She slept deeply today. Lasilia opened her eyes feeling refreshed after a long time. The sun was clear and the room was cozy. In a warm season like these days, she didn't turn off the fire in the fireplace, so she felt a little cold at dawn, but today it wasn't like that at all. The morning was surprisingly refreshing. Lasilia stretched herself happily. Then she noticed something shiny by her bed.


"Hmm? What is that?"


When she removed the blanket that was blocking her view, she could see the glitter properly.


It was the Emperor's blonde hair.


"...hmm?"


That was to say, the Emperor was sleeping with only his head resting on the edge of her bed while sitting on the floor.


"Why... Ah, the blue moon."


They were supposed to sleep in the same room. Lasilia naturally knew that she would watch over the Emperor suffering from mutations with the shadow knights, just like the day before.


But she herself waited for the Emperor and she fell asleep first.


'Is that why he just slept next to me?'


It was something she didn't quite understand. Yesterday, too, there was obviously a blue moon. Lasilia moved her body silently as she drew closer to the Emperor. There was no sign that his bones had sprouted and re-entered, and there was no bloodstain. She saw instead that he was impeccably dressed. With that outfit, she couldn't figure out why he was sitting on the floor in such an uncomfortable position.


'It's strange.'


Lasilia tilted her head.


'What happened while I was asleep?'


So, the sleeping face was just beautiful. At first she was just looking for traces of last night, but now it's just aimlessly staring.


'What is human?'


As she looked at the Emperor's face, she almost forgot how much time had passed. She laughed bitterly at the fact that even the prophetess herself was seduced by his beauty.
