(EP-332.1) Of Heart #1
332 – Queen of Hearts #1
“What’s wrong with you? And am I so kind of object to you!?”
Elga scolded fiercely. It was because I suddenly grabbed her chest in the city hall garden and said sothing useless.
“Apologize imdiately!”
Elga, as if finding my apology lacking, grabbed my pointed ear and pulled it up.
Her grip was far beyond that of an ordinary person, and I felt tears almost welling up.
“Hiek…! I’m sorry…!”
I needed to look as pitiful as possible. Only then would Elga forgive and let go of her anger.
Soon, my strategy seed to work because Elga released my ear and let out a deep sigh.
“Really. We haven’t seen each other in a long ti… Are you in heat or sothing? What’s gotten into you?”
But Elga was half right.
Lately, I’d been grappling with sothing I couldn’t tell anyone about. Perhaps it was the allure of Elga’s soft maternal aura that made open up.
“… I’ve been struggling to hold back lately. I don’t want to feel this way, but I can’t help it. I don’t know why.”
“What do you an?”
“That… It’s like I’m going through puberty all over again. It’s hard to explain…”
Elga narrowed her eyes at my mumbling confession.
“What, are you saying you’re actually in heat? Are nymphs like that?”
“… I don’t know.”
Recently, my libido has beco incomparably stronger.
I didn’t know the reason.
Was it because my physical condition has been improving a lot lately?
Or was it that, like how muscles grow from repeated stimulation, my desire was being stirred from the repeated intimacy?
No.
Maybe this was natural.
In the past, I had suppressed my personal emotions and desires due to various circumstances. But now, being surrounded by attractive won, it was only inevitable.
n were simply such creatures.
It was natural for a man to want to date, marry, have children, and live happily together with an attractive woman
Admitting that I hadn’t been manly enough until now, Elga snorted and turned her head away. This created a brief mont of silence.
“…….”
“…….”
The one to break this stillness was Elga, who spoke softly.
“Then just grab any woman and get it over with.”
“Not just anyone will do.”
“… So, what is it, then? Are you saying you want to… with right now?”
“But Elga-nim has a baby in her belly.”
No matter how much my desire burned, I had to consider the situation and the person. Elga had a child in her womb, and I didn’t want to put her through anything strenuous.
Elga replied.
“That’s true. But I heard that… after the third month, it should be fine. Things will have beco more stable….”
“…….”
She was suggesting.
Did that an Elga also wanted to do it with ? I wanted to ask, but decided against it—she would definitely get angry if I did.
“Well, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just saying…!”
Suk.
With that, she got up from her seat.
“I’m done moonbathing. I’m going now.”
Elga left abruptly.
As her figure gradually disappeared, I noticed that the bench where she had been sitting was sohow more damp.
The realization sent a tingling sensation down my spine.
Just then, soone approached from a distance.
“Sir Theo, Queen Aira is requesting your presence.”
Was she a maid from Sandora City Hall?
It was already nine o’clock.
* * *
Among spiders, it was said that many female spiders would eat the males during mating.
To avoid being eaten, the males had to devise various thods and tricks.
Why was I bringing this up?
Because that was exactly how I felt right now.
Like a tiny male spider stepping onto the web where a female lay in wait. Heading to Aira’s chambers after such a long ti felt daunting.
I wouldn’t be eaten, would I?
Of course, Aira was human.
She wouldn’t literally devour . But even knowing that, a private audience with her always felt like a nerve-wracking experience.
━Theo, I know you’re out there.
As I lingered at the door, I heard Aira’s voice.
It ant that I should stop standing around and go inside. Thus, taking a deep breath, I checked my attire one last ti, then slapped my cheeks.
“Alright.”
It was a small act of self-encouragent.
Finally, I pushed the heavy doorknob and entered the room.
It was the most lavish and beautiful room in the Sandora City Hall.
And in this chamber of gleaming marble, Aira, clad in silk nightwear, was poking at the logs in the fireplace with a poker.
“Co, sit down. I just lit the fire—it might still be a little cold.”
The air was indeed quite chilly.
Since I was enjoying the moonlight until just a mont ago, my body had cooled down quite a bit.
“Then, I’ll sit next to you.”
As I took the seat beside Aira, the warmth radiating from the fireplace lted the cold from my body. It felt pleasant. As I soaked in the heat, like slowly lting cheese, Aira spoke.
“You look healthy.”
“You as well, Aira-nim. I’m glad to see you’re in good health. It seems you’ve been doing just fine without .”
“Does it seem that way?”
In truth, I had been a little worried.
This was the first ti Aira and I had been apart for so long. So, I had thought that perhaps left on her own, she might not even be able to put on stockings.
But it was simply my worry.
It seed that Aira had been doing well even without .
Well, that was only natural.
After all, she was the queen.
Even if it wasn’t , there would have been countless people in the palace to take care of her. Realizing this, I couldn’t help but be proud of Aira for truly growing as a person—though at the sa ti, I felt lonely.
Was I no longer needed?
It felt like the sa bittersweet emotion of seeing an ex-girlfriend doing well. Of course, Aira was neither my ex nor even my girlfriend.
To shake off this restless feeling, I decided to speak.
“So, why did Your Majesty call at this late hour?”
At my question, Aira looked at my face.
I usually hesitate a bit when looking into another person’s eyes. But Aira looked at with those deep, black eyes without the slightest hint of wavering.
