Reunion with Two Men (6)
She smiled blurredly as he saw the marks engraved one by one on his body. Arthur’s breath was a little disturbed.
Watching Arthur exhaling thinly as if trying to hold back, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the hardened place.
“Mary.”
As she faltered at Arthur’s gentle voice calling her name, Arthur, who she wanted to do at this time, took over and listened. She blinked blankly at the reversed position in an instant.
He was quick at times like this.
“I don’t think you’ll forgive me if I’m honest with you.”
“You talk as if you have done something forgiving.”
She reached out and stroked Arthur’s cheek. She hates him, but she can’t think of him not being around. So he must be by her side forever.
“Can’t you just pretend you don’t know?”
Tuk.
Arthur hugged her with his face on her chest.
“I hope you’re pretending to be sick on purpose.”
“Then you can believe that.”
“No, you, you’re really sick.”
Arthur didn’t answer at all. How many minutes has it been since he was still in her arms?
No way.
“Are you sleeping?”
Ha… A ridiculous smile leaked out. The sound of breathing rang in the room. She got out of the room carefully so that he would not wake up and called the maid.
She was the one who tried to bully, but why is she sad? She shook her head and pressed her throbbing head hard.
“When did it start?”
The maid with her head down said in a trembling voice. She felt sorry for her shaking.
She didn’t do anything. Is there a reason to be so afraid?
“Well, I don’t know exactly.”
“What are his symptoms?”
“He vomited blood frequently and had a high fever.”
How much did he hide from her? The maid held her breath and looked around. No one didn’t know that she was in a rut about Arthur. In addition, Arthur was her fiancé and a figure who might later become an empress.
The name of the disease is also unknown to the maid. It was unlikely that he would have told others about himself.
“Go ahead, keep this from others.”
The maid nodded quickly.
*****
Arthur is sick. No, it may not be to the extent that it hurts.
Entering the room, she took off her clothes and dipped herself in a bathtub. As the subtle scent penetrated the tip of her nose, her body relaxed.
Even the maids at service were sent out and she tried to organize her complicated mind by herself.
‘If Nox appeared…….’
What the hell does he want?
She became an emperor and almost got what she wanted. What she hoped for when she first opened her eyes here has already been achieved. But why is it so empty?
She was constantly thirsty and frustrated.
“Arthur.”
How on earth did he get sick?
She crouched down and dived into the water. In less than a few seconds, her face was eventually pulled out of the water due to the tranquility and frustration of suppressing her chest.
“Gasp!”
She could see a face she didn’t want to see with a sudden shadow.
“Nox?”
“It’s been a while.”
Nox, who appeared in front of her again, smiled brightly at her with his long hair hanging down.
by the way.
“You crazy punk.”
She pulled the fabric to cover her body. Knox breathed a sigh of relief as he grabbed her hand, which was raised as if it was about to slap him on the cheek.
“I didn’t want to show up at this time either.”
“Are you saying that now?”
“Do you want me to think about you like that?”
If she remembered him and appeared, he should have appeared immediately. Otherwise, he was not showing up even though he appeared.
He slipped away from her when she stared at Nox with the momentum of rushing in and covered his eyes.
“I won’t. I won’t. Why don’t you calm down and wear your clothes first?”
“Ha…!”
“Or do you want me to look at you?”
When she saw his chattering mouth, she finally realized what comes first in the current situation. She came out of the bathtub and headed for the room, suppressing her boiling anger.
The maids approached in surprise and hurriedly wiped her bodies and handed over clothes to change.
“Your Majesty, are you done already?”
“……I came out thinking of something urgent, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Are you going to the office?”
“No, it’s simple, so I’ll do it in my room.”
She changed into light clothes and sat in a chair and asked for tea.
“Don’t let anyone in my room.”
“Yes, I see.”
Even at late night, she always didn’t let go of her work, so the prime minister or anyone would often visit her when something urgent occurred.
If Arthur comes, things may get complicated. Words that she couldn’t hear from his mouth come out easily from Nox, so maybe now was the only opportunity for her.
“If it’s not urgent, report it tomorrow morning.”
“That’s what I want to say.”
It wasn’t like that from the beginning, but she naturally worked day and night as she worked. There were many bills that tried to change, but recently, things have increased due to princes from other countries, so it was inevitable.
The maid poured the tea into a teacup and nodded. After carefully closing the door, Nox appeared as if he wanted to see.
“Did Arthur lie to me or did I underestimate you Nox?”
She said, looking at Nox sitting face to face. Nox’s eyes, holding his chin and staring at her, bent gently drawing a line.
The slightly tilted pass made it even more annoying.
“Well.”
“Nox, you know this, right?”
She asked him, controlling her breathing so that she wasn’t impatient. Nox would always come up with the answers she wanted. Therefore, she believed that this time as well.
