I gently hold her hand.

Then, Theodora gently opens her closed eyes and sees a glimpse of something hot in them.

Uh… what should I do?

I gently stop kissing her.

“Haa…haa…”

She is breathing heavily with a flushed face.

He feels fear as he sees her face, a mixture of annoyance at being held back and something hot.

Eh, I don’t know. He hugs her tightly and throws her down on the bed.

Eyes widened as if slightly surprised.

I kiss her pure white neckline.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

She hugs me tightly and begins to softly coo.

Pure white neck.

I take my tongue there and lick it, and trace kiss marks on its pure white neck with my lips, giving myself time to think.

“Ugh!”

Theodora hugs me roughly.

As I slowly kiss her collarbone as I feel her cross her legs underneath me, watching her back arch and her chest rise, my sexual desire begins to burn brightly within me.

“Haa… Ugh…”

My tongue dancing on her pure white skin.

And with her eyes tightly closed, her upper body bouncing in response to my caresses and her moans stimulating my sexual desire.

If you are not excited about this situation, you are no different from a eunuch.

First, he caresses her with all his passion, thinking that he will run away once the aphrodisiac effect subsides.

How long had they been hugging and caressing so much?

I gently remove my lips from her neck and look at her.

I look at her shaking with pleasure.

Is it because I didn’t do anything?

Her closed eyes open and meet mine.

The redness subsided. It probably won’t have much of an aphrodisiac effect anymore.

“Hmm… Since the banquet is in progress, I’ll go first. I’m getting some rest.”

After saying that, I tried to get out of bed…

-Sreuk…

Something grabs my sleeve.

“Huh?”

Theodora shakes her head with a flushed face.

“… should I go? There are distinguished guests, right?”

He shakes his head with a bright red face and moist eyes at my words.

“Ah… you don’t have to go. Joe… just a little more…”

She said that and fell into my arms.

I sigh inwardly as I feel her digging into me.

A time when the sun has not yet set.

If the emperor hosting the banquet is unwell, it is polite to have his companion or adult child present at the banquet hall.

Besides, I have no intention of doing anything like that with her, so I want to run away from here as soon as possible.

But I knew she wouldn’t let me go…

He strokes her head and speaks in a very kind voice.

“Theodora, you’re at a banquet right now, right? After the banquet… let’s continue then. Everyone will be waiting outside now.”

At my words, she hugs my neck tightly and whispers softly in my ear.

“Okay… did you promise?”

“Yes.”

Only then did she let go of me, turning her head and speaking shyly.

“Don’t drink too much…”

“That…yeah. Anyway, are you taking a break?”

When I say that, I see her nodding and leave for the banquet hall.

Uh… what should I do? Shall we sleep in the study hall today?

***

As I watch Devian leave, my face gets hot as I remember the passionate kiss we had a while ago.

Ugh… this is what a kiss felt like.

I once kissed him at a wedding.

Unlike now, it was just an act of touching lips.

At that time… I hated it so much.

It was so good that it could not be compared to the wedding I was forced to have with him.

His lips, his breath.

And even his warm embrace.

Apart from the fact that I’m not on good terms with him these days…

It was so good.

Without realizing it, I touch my lips.

It’s a kiss. Was it this good?

It was so good that it was difficult to compare it to the descriptions in novels I had read in the past.

I couldn’t help but hug him and hold his hair tightly.

I couldn’t stay still because I wanted to feel him a little more, to hold him more.

Ugh… that’s strange. It feels like I’ve become a very… sexy woman, right?

I have never once in my life thought of myself as lewd.

But the situation a little while ago… Anyone could see that she looked like a lewd woman.

How can an inexperienced woman try to take off a man’s clothes first?

It’s like an erotic scene you’d see in a novel.

A virtuous woman… should just do what a man does, but I am ashamed of myself for not being able to do that.

Well… Debian won’t think it’s strange, right?

As soon as I thought, ‘Will Debian be disappointed?’, my excitement subsided and I could feel my condition.

The thick moisture and coolness felt in the lower body and the strange sensation of a feather tickling the inside of the stomach still remain.

“Ugh… I feel really wet.”

Feeling uncomfortable in my wet underwear, I head to the bathroom.

***

As I head to the banquet hall, I think about how I can avoid going to bed tonight.

Let me return to the banquet hall.

-ah!

-Didn’t His Majesty say earlier that he was sick?

-oh my god…

I feel puzzled as I see surprise and sighing on my face.

what? Why is everyone like that?

I don’t understand, so I head to my seat in the banquet hall…

Joy and her mother-in-law blushed, and Mary and Agrippa asked with sly expressions.

“Oh my? Why did His Royal Highness come to the banquet hall? Why don’t you take care of your sick Majesty a little longer instead of leaving her alone?”

I feel puzzled by Mary’s mischievous voice.

“Huh? What?”

When I question it, he points to my head, smiles evilly, and speaks in a low whisper.

“I know that the couple is on good terms, but don’t show off and get your hair done.”

Those words remind me of him holding my head roughly when I kissed Theodora a little while ago.

Ah… it’s ruined.

When attending a banquet, men applied oil to their hair to fix it.

I looked at the mirror in the banquet hall thinking that she must have turned into a funny person because she was being held roughly.

“Haha…”

I see my head sticking out here and there and I sigh.

“I’ve shown myself to be an ugly person. Please excuse me for a moment.”

After clearing my head, I returned to the banquet hall.

Mary and Agrippa laugh heartily, wondering what is so funny about me like that.

Even though I’m a little annoyed by that, I wonder, ‘How can I get out of this situation tonight?’

I sleep in study room number 1.

This isn’t a bad method either.

Twice, I went in completely drunk.

This is okay too.

I go in after smoking a lot of 3 cigarettes.

When you feel that this is not a bad method.

“Keuhum. son-in-law. Today… let’s go in early.”

When I turned my head and asked my mother-in-law what she said…

“Yes?”

He spoke with a slightly red face, unable to make eye contact with me.

“Keuhum… I will be at the banquet. I told you to go in early.”

When I hear my mother-in-law’s words, a thought comes into my head.

Could it be that… the aphrodisiac… wasn’t prepared by your mother-in-law? Oh, I guess not.

But with a strange intuition, I look at the glass of whiskey next to me.

Probably not?

“Haha… Anyway, mother-in-law…”

-Tingling.

I change my words as I see my mother-in-law glaring at me with a heated face.

“Your Majesty may be unwell, so I will go home early.”

Seeing his cold eyes withdraw from my words, I sigh inwardly and gesture to Rachel behind me.

“Did you call me?”

I say, holding up a glass of whiskey and handing it to her.

“Yes. Analyze this too. Oh, and there is a cigar box on my desk in the Grand Duchess? Please tell me to bring some cigars from there.”

When I spoke quietly, Rachel nodded with a puzzled look and took the whiskey glass.

Are there only 3 ways left now?

With that in mind, I throw the food on the table onto the plate in front of me.

As I was finishing the meal, Rachel came up to me and said.

“I brought the cigar you mentioned.”

Three cigars.

Let’s accept that…

“His Majesty the Archduke. Didn’t you quit smoking?”

Suddenly Mary intervenes.

“Hmm… I quit smoking, but how can I hold back on this beautiful day?”

“Son-in-law. From what I heard, cigarettes don’t smell good either. In fact, on days like today, I think you shouldn’t smoke.”

I fall into despair as I see my mother-in-law and Mary joining together to stop me.

Ah… no, if you don’t smoke, you’ll get pregnant and assassinated?

“The Empress Dowager also said so…”

-Wheeing!

So fast that Mary’s hand couldn’t be seen…

He takes the cigar from my hand.

“I will confiscate this. I’m sure… your brother, who listens well to adults, won’t object, right?”

Mary speaks with an evil smile.

“Well done, Princess Mary. I also trust my son-in-law, but seeing the princess do that makes me feel more relieved.”

Looking at my mother-in-law with a bright smile…

As I think about the possibility that I might be the one poisoned in 10 months, a cold sweat breaks out.

Big… big trouble.

Something really big happened.

Recently, the relationship between me and Theodora is almost at its worst.

However, there is no sign of it getting better.

She hates me so much that she declared war to have me removed from office.

But if you also have a child…

Poisoning is confirmed, right?

Thinking about that, I roll my eyes and desperately pray for a way to get out of this situation.

Ah… I guess I need help from the Intelligence Department.

So I get up and head outside.

Imperial Palace Garden.

Let’s sit next to the servant sitting on the bench in the corner.

“Your Highness, the snake has been trapped.”

The snake mentioned here means an assassin.

“Okay, good job. But I need something right now.”

I tell the intelligence department that will save me what I need now.
