Don’t Concern Yourself With That Book Chapter 314

Chapter 314

Translator: yun

With just a glance, Rebecca had gazed upon Hernan with disapproval. Of course, there was no way she would have forgotten the way he acted while he had been egoless.

‘It’s best I don’t leave the two alone.’

I had called Hernan over because I had business to discuss with him. It wasn’t sothing that needed to be so big secret.

“Hernan.”

“Yes!”

“… Take a step back.”

“Yes!”

“Stop making your eyes twinkle like that.”

He first tilted his head as though he did not understand before quickly nodding.

‘No. I was trying to tell him to stop making that expression.’

I asked for his understanding for doing this in the middle of a hallway before discussing business.

“The current public opinion of you is not the best.”

“Yes.”

“I will summon you to our next eting.”

With a serious expression, I revealed my plan.

“Will it be alright?”

He answered clearly and politely without a hint of tension in his voice.

“Of course it wouldn’t be.”

I furrowed my brows.

“But you have to make it right no matter what. You have to show that you’re harmless and convince them that you are needed. Do you understand what I an?”

“Yes. I have to show the other templars and ministers my determination.”

“… We’re discussing your future right now, why aren’t you anxious at all?”

Hernan had been Castor’s close ally and had just been heeding the emperor’s commands.

‘Still, all he did was capture the rebels.’

He had not been acting according to his will but we could not change what happened.

I had also received a petition for Hernan’s imdiate execution. There was an especially significant amount of resentnt from the templars who followed the 2nd Prince.

“Ah. Should I be more anxious?”

Hernan smiled ekly before dropping his innocent expression.

“I am just so happy right now.”

His expressions brightened to the point he almost looked like a large beast happily wagging its tail.

“Your Majesty. The world looks different now.”

“Hm?”

“Who knew all it took was for you to believe in .”

“Stop.”

Hernan could only stare as I physically blocked his mouth. He looked surprised.

“I never gave you permission to say any more.”

His eyes that were the colour of a lake moistened slightly by my firm words. His eyes drifted for a long ti before returning to . His blue eyes seed to be at a loss for where to look before he lowered his gaze.

The mont he tried to carefully grab my wrist.

“It seems there has been a delay.”

Whistle.

Vines whipped around his wrist. With the one reaching out to being bound much faster. When I turned around, I found Amor smirking.

I removed my hand from Hernan before laughing awkwardly. Before walking past Amor.

“Rebecca, where are we heading to next?”

“Huh? Yes. The Head Templar of Rivers has requested for your audience.”

***

That very night, a round moon rose to the sky.

“The moon in this world has always been full.”

Amor, who had just been leaning against the wall, comnted.

“It’s strange to refer to this place as a world. Well. It does always have a full moon.”

If I continued to stare at the pale moon blankly, it felt as though my eyes would turn pale as well.

“But it’s not always full. Have you ever co across a night when it wasn’t?”

“Hm, I’m not sure?”

“The moon here is influenced by the divinity of the emperor. To be more precise, it is the barriers surrounding the Empire that causes the moon here to look like it’s full. So, the day the moon is no longer full is the day the emperor’s divinity wanes.”

Co to think of it, when I had visited the Kingdom of Ripe, the moon had been crescent-shaped.

“What about now?”

“It no longer matters now. Because the barrier has broken”

“Ah. So the moon we are watching now is a real full moon? This is my first ti seeing a full moon that had not been filtered through the barriers.”

I didn’t like much in this world but I did like the moon. Because the full moon always accompanied on my way to Amor. My path to him had always been lit by a bright night. Even if the moon was just a trick played by divinity, I was still grateful.

“However, if you could allow to address you comfortably.”

“Haha. It’s weird to hear you address so formally. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can just address with my title. To make things fair.”

I stared at the familiar sight of Amor approaching .

“If that is what you want, shall I? Rosé.”

Hold on, this was not what I was going for.

“Wait, wait. It’s a little weird now.”

“What is?”

“Because you’re speaking so formally, it’s a little…”

“A little?”

My back was buried into a fluffy pillow. No, rather than saying it was buried, I had rely shifted backwards as he approached.

His weight laid atop . His shadow swallowed whole and as per usual, the owner of the shadow stole my lips.

“Hmph, mff.”

“As the one who serves you, I’ll have to make sure you enjoy all that you deserve.”

My lips were soaked with smacks. His hand swept up my skin. The way he delicately held dotted the skin at the back of my neck with goosebumps as if he was holding my neck but he was not.

“Your Majesty, I wish to be with you wherever you are.”

“Hm, I told you not to use honorifics with …”

“I guess you don’t know that well yet. The more you tell not to, the more I want to.”

Perhaps because he was touching places I was sensitive in, my toes curled even though all we were doing was kissing.

Soon, his hand slipped through my waist before sweeping down my back. The hand that was holding felt firm.

“Shush. Relax.”

I wondered how long had passed for to gasp for breath once we parted.

“Amor?”

There was only a short distance between our lips.

“More.”

He stared at as I was left there gasping before begging. He never forced anything on and he rely gripped my waist with his hands but his gaze looked different from usual.

Like a beast, Amor rubbed his forehead against mine before urging .

Instead of replying, I grabbed his hand.

“Did sothing happen?”

“… Did anything? You must know better than .”

With eyes that were not looking at and a voice that was creeping closer to the abyss.

Seeing how uncomfortable he was, I wondered if I had done anything wrong. I thought back to what had happened throughout the day.

Imdiately, I grabbed his clothes and sat up.

“Uhm, uh. Don’t tell … was it Hernan?”

“…..”

Impossible.

“Were you jealous?”

I could only blink as I questioned him. There was no answer. Instead his sharp lips captured mine.

As if he didn’t want to say it out loud.

“Woah, seriously…”

I couldn’t stop smiling. I accepted his lips without protest. I did not want him to step out of my amusent but he eventually pulled them off .

“What are you so happy about?”

“Ah, I an, I never thought you would get jealous.”

“I don’t think this is the first ti.”

“Really?”

Looking up at him as though this was my first ti ever hearing about this, he sighed with a complicated mix of emotions on his face.

“How can you be so quick-witted in other matters? But when it cos to love, you beco so slow.”

Was I?

“Well.”

I didn’t particularly think I was dull but if he thought so, then I guess I was.

“Shouldn’t one only be affected by the affection of one other?”

“Rosé.”

“For , that’s you.”

I found his hand before placing it on my cheek. His hands had always been cold to the touch but perhaps the warmth from his body had spread, making his hands feel hot as well. Like the way he was staring at now.

“You’re the only one in this world who can call Rosé.”

Turning my head, I kissed his hand.

“You want to be satisfied with this?”

“Mhm. Why not? Can I not peck you?”

“Why don’t you just admit you don’t think of as a man?”

His approaching lips were stopped by my index finger. No, this much progress was scary after all. Frowning as though he was dissatisfied, he leaned his head against my shoulders as if he had given up.

“Are you having fun teasing like this?”

Recollecting my mories of him through his deep voice, I held his cheek with a chuckle.

“Of course I am. I have the most fun when I am with you.”

He raised his head to stare at like a tad beast.

“… Do you really think so? Really?”

“Of course I do.”

I nodded firr than I usually do to assure him.

Amor, who had been staring at , soon tilted his head before smiling.

“Well then.”

Slip.

The string that had been holding his top together loosened before the fabric fluttered down.

“Why don’t we have so more fun?”

“W-Wait, wait wait. Amor!”

His hands move faster than that of the God of Lightning’s and his gaze was fierce and burning as if flas had replaced his pupils.

“Your Majesty, there is an urgent ssage.”

If it had not been for Rebecca who had arrived just in the nick of ti…

Rebecca appeared and stared at Amor.

“I am not wrong to say that it’s well into the night.”

“Hm? Well, it is.”

“I was sure Her Majesty had entered her chambers alone.”

“… You’re right about that too.”

“But there are now two people on your bed.”

“…..”

My lady-in-waiting launched homing missiles with no hesitation.

“Has anything I should be notified of occurred yet?”

“N-no!”

“Not yet.”

“Right, not yet… Amor!”

Rebecca had been authorised to enter my chambers without knocking. I winced before lowering my head.

‘I’m not regretting this but…’

Glancing at Rebecca, I noticed that she was gazing upon Amor disapprovingly.

“It wasn’t sothing I had not expected. But wouldn’t it trouble you if this were to occur before your marriage?”

“Who cares? I belong to her anyway.”

He smirked.

“We are going to live together.”

Amor had his usual expression on his face as if to say he found nothing unusual about the current situation.

I tried to ease the tension.

“So what’s the urgent ssage?”

Rebecca accepted my offer to move on to another topic.

“Soone has co looking for you.

Rebecca emphasised on the fact that it was urgent without revealing who the guest was. Did she not want Amor to know? It seed to be the case based on her disapproving glare. As an as she was being.

‘Rebecca, you look like a mother reluctant to marry her daughter off.’

It was like a mother had walked in on her daughter’s immature incident. Seeing her now, it seed like she still treated like a child regardless of whether I awakened or not.

‘Anyway, this was not the ti for that.’

Even before returning to my chambers, I had heard that soone ca looking for a while ago.

“Usually, you would kick them out given the ti of day. So, what’s the matter?”

“… That is true.”

Rebecca sighed.

Based on her sigh alone, I could tell that it was because this person had forced Rebecca to ignore all her principles.

Eventually, I wore a gown before heading out. Of course, Rebecca would have preferred if Amor remained behind but you could not keep a blowing wind still.

“I greet Your Majesty, the noble root of the Empire.”

To my surprise, it was the Head Templar of Wisdom who ca looking for .

‘Why is he here at this hour?’

The Head Templar lowered his head as if he had noticed my displeasure.

“Our great traditions have been kept in our code of law. Won cannot be emperors.”

The Head Templar who had uttered those words knelt obediently before without a hint of arrogance in his expression.

“Don’t you think it is a little too late to visit?”

“… I deserve death. This humble servant pleads for your rcy that is as bountiful as the seas and rivers to hear out.”

I raised my eyebrows.

“I have sothing to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“It’s about the barrier.”
