Chapter 98
Quietly, the door closed, and Lyle helped dea to the sofa, accompanying her.
“Did soone make you uncomfortable?”
dea shook her head with her face buried in Lyle’s chest as her hand grabbed onto him as if hanging on for dear life.
“That’s not it…… I’m not the only one anymore. Thinking about the baby in my belly has made anxious.”
“Hmm.”
Lyle looked down on the top of dea’s head, leaning against his chest.
My person.
It was a person who had his own child.
“dea… You’re not alone. I am beside you. There’s nothing to fear.”
Even when he saw a beautiful woman nad Camilla who resembled his mother, Lyle didn’t feel anything. Far from arousing any desire as a man, he only felt unpleasant rembering the intention behind the beauty.
Even while watching her dance, Lyle thought of dea and felt sorry for her.
He heard the early stages of pregnancy were the most important …..…. In this regard, he rembered that she was particularly sensitive.
“Then… Please increase the number of knights guarding .”
“Guards?”
It wasn’t a bad idea especially since she was with child. Thinking of the curse or poison in the gifts arriving for the Empress, Lyle nodded.
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
“And… I want Baron Hestia to be my escort.”
“What?”
The word “no” was about to pop out of his throat, but hehesitated when he saw dea’s serious face.
Don’t tell dea is really interested in him.
Lyle was wary of Baron Hestia’s pretty face.
“Why him?”
“I heard that even though several assassins attacked, they protected their younger sister. He not a nobleman in the capital, so he is trustworthy.….”
“Does that an that aristocrats in the capital cannot be trusted?”
“I don’t have any mories, so honestly I don’t know who to trust.”
Gerrard praised him, so his skills wouldn’t have been bad. In addition, as dea said, he was a person who survived with the grace of the Empress. He thought it was not a bad choice to trust him.
‘But…’
That pretty boy? On top of that, Lyle spotted how he gazed at dea. Lyle knew dea didn’t intend to do that, but…….
“…….”
“Your Majesty? You don’t like it?”

“What? Why do you think I won’t like it?””
At Lyle’s words, dea’s head tilted.
“Right…. you were wary of Baron Hestia from the first day you t him.”
“Why should I be wary of him? He’s a re baron. I’m….”
“You’re the emperor.”
Smiling as if she knew everything, dea intercepted Lyle’s words.
Lyle looked at dea with a disapproving gaze. It wasn’t because he disliked her interruption but her smile seed to say, “I know why you hate Baron Hestia.”
‘That’s funny. Do you want to be jealous of a baron?’
“Alright. If you like Baron Hestia, let’s appoint him as your guard. It is another favor the Empress is giving to Hestia.”
“Your Majesty is full of grace.”
dea’s big smile made him chuckle, even though he felt slightly anxious inside.
“It’s an appointnt that the Empress begged the Emperor for, so the Empress should thank .”
“I’m always thankful for you.”
“Just with words?”
asked Lyle playfully as he stroked her lips. dea grinned and kissed him. With a light kiss, he smirked and countered,
“A little deeper. It doesn’t count until I put my tongue in,”
he whispered, pulling her waist so she sat on his lap. dea laughed and happily reciprocated.

“I am the Empress’s escort knight…….”
Seira blinked at the unbelievable content. The imperial family’s ssenger only did his job and remained silent despite her flustered and thrilled incredulity.
She stood blankly for a while, receiving the letter of appointnt from the imperial palace.
She had been satisfied with just taking the Knight’s examinations and leaving the capital… but now she couldn’t believe that she was appointed as an escort, to guard Her Majesty the Empress……. Furthermore, his Majesty even said that he would ordain her as a knight.
‘I can’t do this…….’
But she also couldn’t refuse. It would have been ungrateful to refuse this order and it was clear that she would be knighted to act as the Empress’s escort.
‘Does Sister want to support the lady’s dream?’ [Luke]
It was a huge deal for her to take the exams but now her Majesty was going beyond encouragent and support—she was even having her knighted and even appointing her as a personal escort knight…….
Luke gazed at Seira with a troubled look.
For a woman it is not easy to handle a sword, but becoming a knight is an even more difficult task. Will it be okay like this?
