Chapter 320 (2/2)

‘What is this?’ When he blinked slowly, he saw a woman looking at him with a worried expression. With her silvery hair hanging down, she was looking down.

“Your Majesty?”

Why is she here? Rublis raised his body slowly and looked around. But no matter how hard he looked around, he was obviously in his bed room. In other words, it was not a place where she was supposed to be, given her sensitivity to manners and her reluctance to get entangled with him.

Then, who the hell is the woman standing before me now?

“What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”

The woman’s eyes looking at him trembled slightly. She approached gently, sat down next to me and reached out carefully. Her gait, sitting posture, reaching her hand and the fluttering of her skirt showed that she was real.

Smelling the scent of the woman sitting next to him, Rublis raised his eyebrows. Her calm voice which was not too high or low, her perfect movements that nobody could imitate, and her subtle lavender fragrance all belonged to her. Believe it or not, it was certain that the woman in front of me was Lady Monique.

“Aristia…? ”

“Yes, it’s me, Your Majesty.”

“Why are you here…”

“Last night, you asked me to wake you up because you had a lot of work to do today. Did you forget?”

Last night? If so, was she with me since then?

When I was very frustrated, not knowing the situation, a couple of maids knocked on the door and came in with a wash basin containing hot water and new clothes.

“Your Highness, how can I serve you?”

“You may go out. Let me take care of him.”

“Okay, Your Highness.”

He knitted his brows at their conversation that he could not understand. What did they just say? Your Highness? Who is the empress? No way! Aristia?

“Empress…?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Did you call me?”

The woman who let the ladies out looked back with a smile. My heart was throbbing when I saw her elegant pink lips.

Is this a dream? As he had been longing for this moment so much, is this a dream that God has shown him finally?

The dream God showed him because he was so desperate?

She hurried to him when he murmured something to himself, and placed her hand on his forehead with an anxious look. He stiffened at her soft touch. His heart beat quickly at the gentle fragrance of lavender. He was now burning with lust that he had been holding back for a long time.

“Rube?”

“…Tia. ”

Rublis stretched his arms and hugged her tightly. His heart was full when he called her nickname for the first time. In fact, when he heard her exchanging her nickname with her friends, he vowed, clenching his teeth, that he would never call her nickname unless she allowed him to.

“What’s wrong with you? I think you are a bit strange today. Your Majesty, are you not feeling well?”

“… No, no. Just leave me alone for a moment.”

Even if I’m dreaming now, it doesn’t matter. Here’s the woman I have been longing for for a long time.

Rublis wrapped his arms around her soft waist and pulled her softly. He felt satisfied when she remained in his arms without any refusal or reluctance.

Inhaling her unique lavender scent, Rublis buried his face in her finely combed silver hair.

She was so lovely when she put her arms around his back carefully that he wanted to hug her right away.

“You’re too late today. You said you had an important meeting today …”

He put his finger on her little lips, who whispered to him. In fact, his heart was throbbing when he saw her big golden eyes looking at him.

When he slowly bowed his head, she closed her eyes and hugged his neck. Rublis kissed her soft lips without hesitation. Her pinkish lips that he coveted for a long time always emitted a subtle scent of tea, which he could always smell from her.

‘How lovely you are!’

He felt as if his heart, which always felt empty, was full now. He felt so good and so happy.
