Dawn of summer day
“your majesty!”
El couldn’t believe his eyes after he heard Riella’s shout.
‘Is that His Majesty?’
Aside from being confused because it was his first time meeting him, all kinds of question marks were floating around in his head.
‘How did he suddenly appear? Does this mean that the emperor can teleport?’
He looked back, but the bedroom door was still tightly closed.
“Your Majesty, how on earth…did you get in?”
Riella was equally surprised. So much so that her mind, which had been clouded by the pain of her body, became clear all at once.
“El Weiss.”
However, instead of answering Riella’s question, Herhan called El.
A cold, heartless voice and a matching cold face soon appeared in the lamp next to the bed.
It was the face in the portrait that EL had seen somewhere.
However, his eyes were much more wild than those seen in his portrait.
“Your Majesty.”
EL immediately got down on one knee and bowed his head.
“It would be troublesome if I cut off your wrists.”
“yes?”
“Because you have to perform official duties, no. Would it be resolved if I just fired you?”
Riella sensed an unusual atmosphere and pulled down the blanket.
But even then, she couldn’t hastily lay her hands on Herhan.
She was really afraid that he might cut off her hand.
“I think coming into someone else’s bedroom at such a late hour is crossing the line, even though you are her aide, don’t you think that Riella is a woman before she is your boss?”
“I’m sorry. I will correct it.”
“Get out. Before I really cut something.”
It wasn’t until after he had left the bedroom, that Riella let out the breath she had been holding.
Feeling surprised, sorry, and upset, she looked up at Herhan and found him staring back at her, his shoulders slumped.
“I miss you. I came because I couldn’t stand it, Riella.”
Herhan looked so pathetic that it was hard to think of him as the one who had just kicked El out, as if he were going to bite his flesh.
Riella noticed that he was disheveled, wearing only a blouse, and that he was still breathing heavily, with his chest rising and falling roughly.
Riella realized Herhan came to her in a hurry.
“But you’re having an affair with another man.”
“What! It’s not like that.”
“It’s okay. I guess you didn’t even miss me.”
“Your Majesty!”
Riella ran toward Herhan, who turned around.
But maybe it was because she was in a hurry to get up. The moment she stepped onto the floor with her bare feet, a feeling of dizziness hit her all at once and she collapsed to the floor.
When the small body fell down, Herhan forgot to turn around and reflexively turned his head.
“Riella! What happened? Your body is hot.”
“I have a cold.”
Herhan picked Riella up and laid her on the bed.
Riella held tightly the hem of Herhan’s clothes, fearing that he would turn away again.
“Don’t go, Your Majesty. no. Even though you have to go. but…still…I missed you too.”
“Riella.”
“I also missed your Majesty. That’s why I’m so sick. having an affair with another man, it’s really not like that!”
She was scared for a moment. It’s sad that there was a misunderstanding.
Like him, Riella also missed him so much.
Emotions that were not that big, came together and grew like a snowball.
‘Maybe it’s because I’m sick. Sickness tends to make you more foolish.’
Riella hugged Herhan and sobbed softly.
Thanks to this, Herhan was able to get his mind back and was able to soothe Riella.
“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. Don’t cry.”
* * *
“But is it okay If we meet like this?”
“This much is okay.”
“Won’t there be a problem with your check up?”
“If I die of frustration from not being able to see you, problems will arise.”
Late at night, Riella and Herhan looked at each other for a long time in a bedroom lit only by a candle.
While Riella stopped crying and talked about various things, she kept lowering her voice and whispering.
Because it should never be known that Herhan, who is secretly recuperating, sneaked into the bedroom of the lake palace.
Herhan found Riella so adorable that he gritted his teeth.
“But just in case, it’s better not to touch the body.”
“Do you want to do that now?”
Aren’t those words that shouldn’t be said by someone who hugs, clings to him, and buries her face in his chest and cries?
Regardless of whether Herhan laughed out loud or not, Riella faithfully hugged her knees and curled up.
She was afraid that even one of his toes might touch the man in front of her.
“I think you’re still running a fever, so I guess I should call Jess.”
Herhan placed his hand on Riella’s forehead as if to tease her on purpose.
“No! He will know you’re here, and I’ve taken the fever-reducing medicine Sir El gave me, so I’ll be fine. Fortunately, Sir El is quite knowledgeable in medicine.”
Riella continued speaking without thinking, then she covered her mouth.
As expected, Herhan’s eyes became as cold as frost again.
“I told you to stop talking about him.”
“sorry…”
Riella apologized obediently. In fact, she mentioned El twice before, and Herhan gave a fierce warning each time.
“I’ve said it three times already, no more. You’ve done wrong, and you’ll be punished.”
“What punishment…?”
Riella was unable to continue speaking as Herhan immediately leaned in and kissed her.
Herhan’s lips tickled against hers.
“Your Majesty, no, no punishment like this.”
Riella, who barely managed to shake him off, tried to persuade him, but it was impossible. Rather, Her resistance only fueled Herhan’s impatience.
Riella closed her eyes tightly. Her already dizzy head became even more dizzy at the sight of his soft tongue coming between her lips.
Riella’s body couldn’t hold on and leaned back. Riella lay down on her bed, relying on HerHan’s hand to support the back of her head.
“We can’t. your majesty. Abstine—”
She didn’t have time to say the word ‘abstinence’ that she barely remembered.
‘Is this okay?’
Every time such a worry came to mind, an urge ten times stronger than that surrounded Riella.
Herhan’s body pressing heavily on her was much hotter than her body.
“We can keep it a secret.”
The voice mixed with gasping moans constantly encouraged Riella.
“This shouldn’t happen—”
Riella, who was about to speak, realized that she had already crossed the line the moment she made eye contact with Herhan, who was looking down at her.
“Riella.”
Herhan, unable to shake off his emotions, was pleading as if in pain.
He wasn’t doing this because he thought he could keep it a secret, or because he thought he could pretend like nothing happened.
It was because he couldn’t bear it anymore.
‘I didn’t care what kind of future this moment would bring. No, I can’t help it.’
“Ah…”
Herhan’s lips covered Riella’s lips again.
Meanwhile, Herhan’s other hand caressed every inch of Riella’s body.
Every time his touch touched her body, Riella flinched as if she had been burned by something hot.
When the hand that had been carefully stroking her side reached further down, she couldn’t help but hug Herhan tightly and beg him.
“Slowly.…Slowly. your majesty.”
The blue veins on Herhan’s forearms stood out strongly as he heard a voice that sounded shaky and shy.
“I don’t want to faint again.”
“So do I.”
Riella finally stopped thinking and let her senses take over.
The part of Herhan that touched the secret area was like a ball of fire.
“Today, I will make sure you remember everything without exception.”
After Herhan’s voice was filled with heat, the two exchanged no more words.
* * *
Dawn of a summer day. The inside of the lake palace bedroom was unusually hot and humid.
‘Has the fever gone yet?’
Herhan, who was examining every inch of the body in his arms, picked up a piece of clothing that had been left under the bed and wiped Riella’s sweat with it.
Her forehead. Her shoulders. The hollow under her collarbone and her smooth thighs.
‘You are very pretty.’
In the dim moonlight of dawn, Riella’s body sparkled like a fairy due to the sweat that formed heavily.
She’s so beautiful that If she didn’t have a fever, I would want to keep looking at her.
‘I want to hug you as much as I want.’
If that were to happen, Riella’s already sick body would become even weaker.
While Herhan clenched his teeth and controlled his lust that had not yet subsided, Riella in his arms turned.
“hmm…”
Riella lifted her red eyes hazily through her lush, slowly blinking eyelashes.
Just by making eye contact, Herhan’s blood boiled because Riella was so pretty and amazing.
“By the way, how did you get here?”
“huh?”
“here. my room. your majesty. How did you get here?”
Riella was conscious enough to make eye contact and talk, but she was clearly not of sound mind.
It was so cute that Herhan almost attacked Riella again.
But he has to endure it. Riella deserved ten years worth of praise just for not fainting until the end.
“That’s a secret.”
“Secret…Tell me a secret, too.”
“no.”
“You….. idiot.”
Wow. Now she’s swearing half-heartedly, and she dares to do it to the Emperor.
Herhan looked down at Riella, smiling like a fool at being called an idiot.
Riella seemed to not have the strength to open her eyes anymore, and she closed her eyelids, she continued to mutter something as if she were talking in her sleep.
“I guess your majesty is Enri.”
“what? Enri?”
“Yeah. You are flying to me.”
“I came by flying?”
“And breathes fire.”
“Riella. What the hell are you talking about, huh?”
‘I thought it was funny that she was talking nonsense, so I tried to talk more, but that was it.’
Herhan’s kiss fell on Riella’s forehead, who had fallen asleep quickly with her mouth completely closed.
Herhan hugged Riella tightly and closed his eyes with a relaxed expression.
* * *
El sat down and looked at the clock on his desk.
Riella’s scheduled work time is nine in the morning.
Ever since Riella harshly pointed out that she had come thirty minutes early, she always entered the office at exactly 8:50.
But now the time is 9:40.
“I guess she overslept today. Shall I go and check it?”
“no. I will wait here.”
EL said to his subordinate and did not relax his upright sitting posture.
Nine fifty. ten o’clock. It’s half past ten.
While time passed helplessly, the office without Riella was infinitely quiet.
* * *
“Riella. Riella! This is Lou. How are you feeling? Can I come in?”
Herhan suddenly opened his eyes at the sound of a knock on the door from outside.
The sunlight shining outside the window was too bright. It’s a big deal.
‘It shouldn’t be this bright.’
Sweat began to flow down Herhan’s back.
“Riella?”
Riella was still sleeping like an angel in his arms.
Herhan immediately touched Riella’s forehead. He also gently touched the nape of her neck and cheek.
Fortunately, her fever seemed to have subsided.
‘What time is it?’
After confirming that Riella was okay, he started to feel nervous again.
Although it was something he did without a plan in the first place, he had no idea it would be this late.
He was just going to put Riella to sleep and get some sleep.
‘What? Eleven o’clock?’
“I am screwed.”
That word came out from Herhan’s mouth. someone who is always tough, having been chased by assassins and fought minor wars.
Eleven o’clock was the time when Asion went to Herhan’s bedroom.
Even so, it was delayed because he had to do the morning work on behalf of Herhan, who was on vacation.
“Riella. I have to go back quickly. First of all, I’ll do something about Asion and come back right away.”
Herhan shook Riella urgently and suddenly felt an ominous sense of dejavu.
“Riella.”
Of course, Riella did not answer.
* * *
The bedroom door burst open.
Lou turned around thinking, ‘Let’s just let her sleep in today,’
and as soon as he saw the person coming out the door, she immediately fell to the floor.
“Your Majesty!”
‘Why is His Majesty in Miss Riella’s bedroom? Also, why is His Majesty dressed like that?’
“Go to the medical office and bring Jess.”
“yes?”
“Call Jess right now!”
“yes yes! All right!”
The emperor’s displeased command fell like a thunderbolt, and Lou ran forward without even looking back.
