Even though I drank too much the night before and had trouble sleeping, I woke up at the same time as usual.

It was a reward for all my hard work, but I couldn’t let down my guard easily.

Building up is difficult, but collapsing takes place in an instant.

If you repeat the same day as the previous day a few times, you will quickly return to the way you were before.

Ugh-.

I tried to get up from the bed, but I laid down again, groaning from the hangover I hadn’t had in a long time.

How was it possible to live with such painful things in the past? I felt truly pathetic for my foolish past.

As I stared blankly at the ceiling, the events of yesterday began to fill my head.

‘driving me crazy.’

It was so horrible that it cannot be expressed in words.

If there was a mouse hole, I would want to go in and stay there all day.

What kind of face did you have for being jealous?

Even if you can make her jealous by giving up 100 steps, shouldn’t you hurt her because of it?

I often heard that some people turn into dogs when they drink alcohol, but I had no idea it was me.

In the end, everything was entirely my fault.

Because it was me who drank and I who said those words.

ha-.

I let out a long sigh and rubbed my face with my palm.

I was truly at a loss as to what kind of face I should face her with.

At that time, a knock on the door was heard.

Melina had come to visit.

Although my mind was so complicated, my daily life as usual was about to begin.

“Come in.”

I said that and got up.

His expression crumpled due to a stabbing headache, but he soon shook his head and regained his composure.

“Master, did you cough?”

Melina came into the room and placed a teacup on the table.

“What is that?”

“This tea is good for hangovers. I wonder if it might be helpful… .”

I held the teacup in my hand without even listening to the end of her words.

And then I poured it all into my mouth.

I don’t know the effect, but I’m sure it doesn’t taste good.

What can I say, since the water horse that was still in my body was so scared that it ran away.

Thanks to this, my mind became clearer, so it wasn’t all that bad.

Eventually, I came to my senses with a simple face wash and left the room.

I was quite nervous, wondering if I might run into Luna.

However, contrary to that feeling, when I came out into the hallway, my eyes for some reason turned towards the tightly closed door.

It looks like the door will open at any moment and Luna will stick her head out.

I think he will bow his head shyly and say good morning.

What should I say if I encounter it?

Is it better to apologize first, or is it better to just say good morning?

Of course, it was all just a vain hope.

There was no way she would say hello to me.

And above all, it was too early to wake up.

The sky is still dark, so she must be wandering in a dream.

Should I say I am fortunate or regretful? I took a step forward with a truly strange feeling in my heart.

That moment.

Squeak-.

I heard the door opening.

When I quickly turned my head, Luna was standing there.

He looked quite tired, probably because he didn’t sleep well.

Luna looked at me with her eyes closed, then closed her eyes and lowered her head.

It was a greeting.

“Luna, that… .”

What was once thought to be a fantasy has become reality.

I opened my mouth not to miss the opportunity, but she passed me by and hurried her steps.

Of course, the words I spoke lost their purpose and were scattered in the air.

Her back is moving away, and the silence flows in the hallway.

It felt like I went back to that day.

To the day when I, a fool, saw you as my wife for the first time.

It felt like all my efforts so far had been in vain, so I stood there blankly and belatedly took a step forward.

When I came out, the drivers were ready and waiting for me.

The knight commander said.

“Master, you are later than usual today.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll get ready right away.”

“It’s okay. You can take it slowly.”

Although I was grateful for the knight commander’s consideration, it was not possible to relax leisurely when it was already late.

It’s not moving too hard, it’s just running lightly, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.

I immediately warmed up briefly and then ran off with the knights.

My body, which had been cold in the early morning air, heats up and sweat forms on my forehead.

As I started moving my body, distracting thoughts disappeared and my uncomfortable mind became quiet.

How much time has passed like that?

The knight commander who was running next to me spoke quietly.

“Master, did you ever fight?”

“Somehow it happened like that. But how do you know that?”

“Don’t we also have eyes to see and ears to hear? How could we not know when you have such a gloomy expression?”

Did I have a gloomy expression?

When I realized that fact, I felt embarrassed because I felt like I had exposed my secrets to my subordinates.

“I don’t know if you know… .”

His gaze slowly turned towards the garden, his tail hanging.

“Princess Luna keeps looking this way.”

At those words, I immediately turned my gaze towards the garden.

And I was able to find Luna looking this way in one corner.

Why on earth are you looking this way?

Is it okay to have some expectations?

For some reason, my mind started to feel agitated.

* * * * *

The night before.

thud-!

Luna made eye contact with Albert and hurriedly closed the window.

Then he squatted down and brought his hands to his chest.

Kongdakkongdak-.

My heart was beating loudly.

I may have looked out the window to calm my disturbed mind, but I became even more confused.

Why on earth is it like this?

I made eye contact with him and quickly closed the window.

Even squatting in that spot.

Although it was his own action, it was full of things he could not understand.

However, one thing was certain: this kind of reaction only occurred when something had to do with Prince Albert.

If you think about that, you might be able to find a way.

Luna thought that and lay down on the bed again.

However, there was no way I could fall asleep.

Because my mind was filled with so many things I experienced in one day.

In addition, he was looking for an appropriate answer to his actions.

In the end, Luna spent the night with her eyes open.

Since I couldn’t sleep even if I closed my eyes, I decided to focus on my thoughts instead.

But even that wasn’t easy.

Because there was so much I didn’t know.

Although I knew the information, I had great difficulty putting it to myself.

Eventually, the darkness that filled the sky disappeared, and the world began to become dark.

It felt like it would be stuffy to stay in the room like this, so Luna decided to go to the garden.

But now that I think about it, I wonder if Prince Albert also goes out around this time of year.

I was quite worried about what happened yesterday, so I felt uncomfortable meeting him.

So, we decided to leave some time apart.

In the direction where I left a little while after he left.

Soon, I heard the sound of a door opening and closing in the next room.

It seemed that the maid had entered his room.

After that, I heard various sounds.

Luna decided that Albert had gone out.

So I ran out of the room, but as if I was lying, I faced him in the hallway.

‘What should I do… ?’

I knew I had to apologize.

I thought all night long about what to say.

However, his hair turned white as he looked at him.

The hand that was supposed to take out the pen was only trembling slightly.

In the end, Luna concluded the situation by bowing her head and quickened her steps.

“Luna, that… .”

I heard a voice behind me, but I couldn’t bring myself to turn around, so I just looked ahead.

So I ended up wronging him again.

I didn’t mean to ignore it, but he probably felt that way.

I felt so pathetic that I couldn’t even properly apologize.

Luna eventually arrived at the garden and walked slowly along the path.

As expected, I should say it was a flower, but looking at it made me feel calm.

At the same time, my thoughts began to organize little by little.

Then, when I suddenly turned my head outside the garden.

Albert was seen running with the knights as usual.

He looked quite tired. I should say that his complexion was dark, and he seemed to be suffering from the effects of drinking too much yesterday.

If you do that, you can take a day off.

What on earth are you working so hard for?

Luna couldn’t take her eyes off Albert. I was just watching them run in a daze.

Of course, without realizing it.

It was a little later that Luna came to her senses.

After the knights and Albert’s early morning canter, Luna, who belatedly came to her senses, tried to return to the mansion.

Yes, I’m sure it was.

“Please talk to me for a moment.”

Albert finally showed up.
