“Will you keep showing that kind of face?”
asked Lyle, and dea sat back with a sour face.
Clicking his tongue, Lyle got up and moved to a position where he could see dea’s face.
dea turned around again.
‘Shit.’
Lyle had thought they would do it a little later, but dea’s anger didn’t show any signs of abetting as she had been trapped in the Emperor’s residence for the whole ti.
It would have been convenient to be able to ignore dea as he had done before, but now Lyle couldn’t dismiss dea’s feelings.
‘I’m anxious,’
thought Lyle, who was hyper-aware of her mood.
‘I’m in trouble. Even when you’re mad, you’re charming. If I could just make you smile, I would feel like I can reach the moon.’
But since earlier, dea refused to make eye contact with Lyle. Lyle felt desperate, and not being able to ignore his overwhelming feelings or hers was embarrassing.
So he ordered the servants to bring all the things that dea liked…. romance novels and sweets, but dea didn’t even bother acknowledging them with any pleasure.
‘Shall I bring you jewels?’
Or sothing like a dress or shoes? Do you like hats and other accessories? Those were things the previous dea did like. Lyle, wondering what won may like, suddenly realized he didn’t know what dea liked.
The maid had advised him that the current dea had a completely different taste from the previous dea.
And it was not just one or two things, but everything changed completely.
Maybe this is why he was captivated by her, but it also made everything even more difficult.
Lyle, with a deep sigh, got up, went to a comfortable seat, opened a book, and glanced at it.
Only then did dea glance at Lyle and then got up and moved to another room.
Lyle, who was peeping at her, was frustrated.
Judging from the current situation, there would be no improvent in the next few days, and he would find no relief.
Still, Lyle didn’t want to let Luke and dea make plans to run away.
Lyle felt he couldn’t do anything about the situation; Lyle shut the book he was looking at.
He had co back early from work to be with her, but instead, he felt more frustrated.

“Your Majesty, what are you going to do?”
The maids who were watching with uneasy feelings ca to talk. dea looked at them with a sour expression.
“What am I?”
“No matter how upset you are, he is the Emperor. If you lose favor……”
It was unthinkable to say this to the forr dea, but now dea was generous and lenient with her people.
“Favor? His Majesty hates .”
“No, his Majesty put you on probation but kept you in his residence.”
“So what?”
When she didn’t understand and inquired, the maid looked frustrated.
“His Majesty favors you and wants you nearby.”
“Didn’t he co to see the Empress’s sleeping face in the middle of the night because he couldn’t stand being away?”
“Yes, before, he ca to see the Empress in the middle of the night.”
The maids took turns saying a word. The first lady in waiting spoke again, trying to lay the final blow on an unconvinced dea.
“His Majesty is in love with her Majesty.”
‘What nonsense are you spewing. You think I’m Seira?’
The maids seed to think that Lyle’s actions were explained by the fact he was so attached to her, but she kept running away.
So it looked like he was desperately trying to hold on to her.
‘I didn’t seem like you hated very much yesterday. Even this morning…… when I accidentally slapped him, I thought it was a huge deal, and I would get in trouble, but he didn’t get mad at all. Is Lyle interested in ?’
It would be a relief, but he would be wasting his feelings.
‘Who was the male lead? Except for the heroine, the hero had an iron wall that no other person could penetrate. Such a man ca over to in just a few days?
‘Such a thing is impossible,’ dea concluded. ‘But maybe he favors my body.’ When he seed furious, she had kissed him, and she could tell his anger quickly disappeared.
‘I have to et Luke, but I have to think about how long it would take to get to Seira’s estate….’
It could take a lot of ti since there were no cars or subways.
dea felt a sense of urgency because she didn’t know clearly when Seira’s brother was murdered.
“What happened to finding an expert who knows the Solare region well? Are there any maids that work in the palace whose hotowns are in the region?”
“We found one. Shall I bring her in?”
It was not allowed to bring in people from outside, but it seed that it was allowed to et those who worked in the Imperial Palace. dea was pleased and told her to bring them to her.
As dea was waiting in the drawing-room, a maid with brown hair and freckles ca in. Her na was Victoria, her nickna was ‘Vicky,’ and she ca from a baron’s family.
