The Abandoned Empress Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Chapter 252

He smiled at when I hurriedly covered my mouth and raised his hand. Then the royal knights stepped back silently. Was it because of that? Lovers walking around the lake were surprised to see him and dressed up, but fortunately they didn’t seem to have noticed who we were.

I slled the scent of silver flowers blown by the breeze. The petals of the flowers dancing in the wind fluttered down on his hair. When I reached out to take them out of his hair, he slowly looked back at and asked, “How about this place? Do you like it? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty… Well, the scenery is beautiful. ”

“Right. I’m glad to hear that. I think my argunt with Sir Penril all day long paid off.”

I looked at him who was turning up his mouth a bit. The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt. I was curious about why he slipped out of the palace to co here at this late hour, why he let the royal knights move back. Normally, he would not have acted like this. As for the scenic place, there were a lot of places like it inside the palace. Then, why did he act like this?

As if he noticed that I was curious about his motivations, he titled his head and looked at .

“Are you wondering why I ca here when I could go to beautiful places in the palace?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Well, Wherever you co to the palace, it makes you think of as only the emperor. So, I wanted to get out of that restriction. I wanted you to look at as I am without it.”

“… Your Majesty.” I looked up at him with my trembling eyes. His navy blue eyes looking at were also trembling.

The mont I thought I felt sothing shimring like the sea in his eyes, it disappeared.

Even before I felt sorry about it, sothing soft touched my lips.

What is it? What did he do…?

When I blinked blankly without even responding, I belatedly realized that he stole a kiss from .

When I was about to pull myself from him in surprise, our eyes t.

I stiffened. I couldn’t take my eyes off his eyes, which turned dark blue. I felt like I was bewitched by sothing or sucked into sothing.

Suddenly, the scenery around caught my eye. Shining sunlight and blue lake, and the scenery with a strange but free atmosphere.

I wanted to be freed from the bondage of my past and the restrictions set by the pro-emperor faction.

‘It’s all because of that scenery over there. It’s because I got carried away with the beautiful moonlight.’

So I wrapped my arms around his neck, telling myself I should be honest with my feelings.

I closed my eyes.

“Then I’ll co in now.”

I let out a sigh of relief naturally. I felt good when I was in the open space, but I felt so embarrassed and awkward when I was left alone with him in a closed space. Perhaps it was because he did not let go of my hand while in the wagon.

I was about to raise my body after carefully pulling the hand he was holding away, but he said, stopping gently, “You.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Are you feeling better now?”

My heart gradually ward when I saw him looking at with a worried expression. When I nodded by smiling gently, a smile ca to his lips.

“I’m glad you got better.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I’m deeply touched by your warm consideration.”

“Have a good night!”

“You, too, Your Majesty.”

As soon as I tried to pull my hand, bowing to him, he raised his right hand and kissed the hand of mine he was holding.

My heart began to pound gradually when I felt attracted to his tempting posture. I felt goosebumps when I felt his warm breathing on the back of my hand.

“Have good dreams, Aristia.”

When he whispered in my ears, I hurried out of the wagon without even responding.

I went back to my room absent-mindedly. My dreamy mood continued until I washed myself, changed my clothes, prepared to sleep, and was finally left alone in bed because what happened in the wagon and in the lake kept hovering in my mind.

Is it because of the magic attraction of the blue moon?

I recalled his desperate kiss. His eyes I saw when I opened my eyes, as well as the mixed feelings in his navy blue eyes, kept lingering in my eyes.

I couldn’t forget his warmth when he held my hand, his gentle touch when he swept my hair, and his soft kiss that touched the back of my hand. My heart was pounding so I couldn’t sleep.

I tossed and turned in bed, then removed the bedsheet. As I couldn’t sleep anyway, I thought I had better work.

When I opened the side door and approached the desk, I noticed a gorgeous envelope with gold pearls scattered on a blue background. At that mont, I recalled him cutting off with a firm voice.

‘I wondered what he said in the letter.’

I picked up the envelope nervously. Then, after taking a quick look at his na in white ink, I took a deep breath and opened the letter.
