CH 65

Around the time when Frey was playing with the Duke of Gelon with the worst-performing topaz stone.

Damon and Arsene whispered in low voices that the people around them couldn’t hear.

“Arsene, why is that man staring at us?”

As Damon glanced at Duke Gelon, Arsene narrowed his eyes. For a moment, a strange light stood in his bright blue eyes. It was the power of a transcendental being who could read the other person’s mind.

The moment he exerted this ability, Arsene saw a black aura swirling around Duke Gelon.

“It is black.”

“Black?”

“Black is the color that means hate…”

The two children, who realized that people they had never seen before hated them, shrank like puppies in the rain.

‘Do we hate because we have special powers?’

Damon and Arsene exchanged such questions with their eyes.

Even though Wiz taught him how to control his strength, the escort knights were terrified, so it seemed that his strength was still threatening.

But the sad feelings didn’t last long.

“Brother, Lady Frey, look after us!”

“Really? What color is it?”

Arsene looked at Frey Who waved her hand with a smile, Arsene once again demonstrated the power of the Transcendentalist.

“It’s yellow!”

Yellow!

The two children soon became happy like puppies about to go for a walk. The corners of their mouth kept rising as if they were eating ice cream.

It was because Arsene, who could read the other person’s mind using this ability, and Damon, who had been with his twin brother for a long time, knew it.

Yellow is the color you see when someone is trying to save and protect something precious.

‘Seeing that it’s still yellow, I guess she won’t leave us.’

‘Yesterday and the day before yesterday, it was yellow, so you’ll stay for a long long time for me Mom.’

The two of them regained their energy as if they forgot about Duke Gelon. There was no need or reason to remember the appraisal of a scary-looking stranger.

The important thing was that Frey, who wore a sparkling dress like a princess in a fairy tale, was taking care of them.

‘So….’

Arsene slightly turned her gaze to Daniel and Luke on the balcony next door.

Damon asked, clasping both hands tightly.

“Is he still have that color?”

“Yes, yes”

The two of them smiled so brightly that their cheeks became convex.

He couldn’t tell in detail, but pink is a color similar to yellow.

It was clear that a big change had taken place in Daniel, who seemed to hate Frey at first.

“Brothers, now we have to go to sleep. The sun is gone, isn’t it?”

Luke, who discovered that the two boys were smiling suspiciously, approached Daniel.

They are not sleepy, but they have to go to bed. Damon and Arsene slid off their chairs.

Daniel came up to them before they knew it, and lightly brushed the heads of the two.

“Damon, Arsene. Let’s go to bed.”

“Huh…?”

“My wife, no, Frey asked me to put you to bed on time.”

“Mmm—I will.”

Daniel looked at the two children who immediately agreed as soon as Frey’s name came out.

Since when did you listen to Frey so well?

Daniel wondered if they were the children who had dug into His arms and whispered that others were scary.

“Can you sleep well?”

“yes.”

“Sure.”

Daniel left the hall after leaving the children in Luke’s care.

It was because he had no intention of leaving before because now that several nobles were closely observing Frey.

Some nobles covered their mouths with fans and whispered as they watched Daniel staring at Frey without even drinking a glass of cocktail.

“Grand Duke Prause is extremely devoted to the children. It seems that the children are listening to Frey very well…”

“Lady Frey, who loves children, is natural for acting. There’s no way that your rival’s child can be cute.”

Why the hell did Frey, who had a broken personality, become kind to the children as if she had become a different person?

Why is Grand Duke Prause looking at Frey so intently?

Amid the amplification of questions, a lady was startled.

“My husband says that the Gelon side couldn’t find the mother of the children even with the mobilization of magicians, perhaps—”

Before the words could be finished, the others were startled.

“No way. Of course, she has always been hiding…”

“Come to think of it, didn’t Frey always wear only rich and fancy dresses, so her body shape wasn’t revealed?”

“Oh, my god. How old is Frey this year? How old are the children?”

The misunderstanding was deepening.

* * *

‘Oh, I’m sleepy…It’s the first time I’ve stayed so late at a party.’

Uncomfortable clothes and shoes, heavy makeup after a long time. Frey was frustrated by all of this, but she didn’t hate the birthday banquet.

‘Also, I thought it would be cute to dress Damon and Arsene in custom outfits!’

It was also because Frey saw the cute faces of the two baby transcendentalists to her heart’s content.

[“I bought it because I was amazed that it contained divine power, but the design is also good, right?”]

[“I was a bit worried because it was the first time I canceled an existing order and placed a reorder, but the quality is much better than I expected.”]

[“I can’t believe that clothes can be made so quickly and beautifully. To be honest, I was a little surprised.”]

It was because she saw people who liked the custom-made clothes that they touched with their own hands.

Of course, she didn’t make their own clothes, but it felt like her efforts were recognized indirectly.

Plus, things worked out a bit better than intended, which was a huge blow to the top of the Vliette guild.

‘I thought I only liked buying clothes. Selling is fun too.’

It was a very strange feeling that Frey could give people satisfaction after only being pointed at.

‘I hope they like the other items I show them.’

Frey needs to be stronger to do that.

Frey stifled a yawn and headed for the bedroom.

Yesterday I spent the night in my mother’s room, but I couldn’t today.

It was because she had seen the faces of Duke Gelon, Empress, and Tahar for too long.

It was clear that Frey would have a terrible nightmare if she slept in the room of her mother who died unfairly after clearly seeing them eat well and live well.

‘If I remember the moment my mother died, I’d—’

Frey closed her eyes tightly.

Just imagining it filled her head with fear and made her heart beat faster.

Frey always missed her mother, but it still hurts to think of the meal they shared that day.

If she did not possess divine power, she would have died along with her mother.

‘ Let’s rest.’

Frey went to her bedroom.

It wasn’t difficult since it was where she always stayed after being born and growing up in the imperial palace.

However, when she opened the door, she saw a familiar face.

“Daniel?”

As if he had just finished taking a bath, Daniel Prause, wearing a large towel over his lower body, was staring at him with astonished eyes.

“Frey.”

Daniel put on a gown because it was awkward to meet Frey when he was half-naked.

However, it wasn’t the face Frey was expecting to come to this room.

“I thought you were sleeping in Lady Roselia’s room again today.”

Frey recalled a fact she had forgotten for a while. Just a few hours ago, Daniel Prause confessed that he started seeing herself as the opposite sex.

And, usually, couples share one bedroom.

[“Then, I will inform you that Grand Duke Prause will be staying in your Highness’ former bedroom.”]

‘I shouldn’t listen to Lina when she speaks and give a rough answer!’

But now, sleeping in the same room with Daniel was awkward, so Frey couldn’t let it go.

It was obvious that if she did such a thing today, the members of the aristocratic faction that was infesting the imperial palace would find fault.

“Well, I’m going to sleep with you today. Because people are looking at it.”

“….”

‘Why are you swallowing dry saliva like you’re nervous?’

Frey watched his reaction for a moment before entering the bathroom.

Frey was distracted the whole time when she was getting ready to go to sleep with the help of Lina and Emma.

‘I slept with him today after hearing that he wants to start over again with me.’

Frey think she was going to stop by the temple, talk about the divine Tower, and leisurely organize her thoughts while looking for the wizard Vikram. Then, she thought she would be able to deal with Daniel naturally when she went back to Prause.

“Your Highness, Grand Duchess. Then have a good night.”

Lina and Emma left the room looking slightly expectant.

Frey, who had even applied oil to her hair, creaked out of the bathroom.

Daniel, who was sitting with his back against the head of the bed, was reading a book, and in an instant, his eyes were taken by her.

“….”

Her blonde hair, which was not completely dry, smelled of sweet fruit and flowers.

Coming out of her nightgown, Frey repeatedly fiddled with her hair over her shoulders.

The seemingly insignificant action continued to catch his attention.

“Hmm…Daniel?”

“Ah.”

Daniel, who had been looking at her openly, closed the book only then.

He couldn’t remember what he was reading until just now.

Sruk-

She lifted the duvet lightly. Frey carefully pushed her leg through the gap she had prepared.

When the soft, fluffy blanket touched her body, the tension was relieved.

‘Even on our first night, it wasn’t so awkward.’

At times like this, it was best to pretend not to know and go to sleep quickly.

Frey squeezed herself under the blanket and lay down on a pillow. When she closed her eyes and opened them, Prause’s distinctive bright pupils were right in front of her With a look that wanted something.

‘Wow, look at the nose… it’s like pieces.’

Frey barely held back the exclamation that was about to pop out of his mind.

“Let’s start over, can we just accept it as saying that we should see each other as the opposite sex?”

Frey’s eyes bent softly and she stammered.

“Yes.”

Daniel’s eyes, which had not been sleepy yet, shone even more with pure joy. It seems that Frey accepted Daniel’s intentions without any misunderstanding.

At this point, Daniel wondered if Frey’s heartless departure had changed in the future.

“Frey, maybe… Can you give me permission to see?”

“Yes? Eh, where?!”

Frey, who had closed her eyes, jumped up and wrapped herself in a blanket.
