T/N: *IMPORTANT* When I was translating this, I just remembered that his character isn’t supposed to act “Cold”, but cool. I can’t really change the title on Novel Updates, but I will just put the title at the start of every chapter from now on so people don’t get confused with Shane’s character. He isn’t supposed to act “Cold” at all. He supposed to be like a “independent, reliable, and sophisticated” person.
On another note, sorry for the late update. When I wanted to update, I had to go to a mandatory 4 day excursion for my university, and then my classes started right when it ended. I wanted to adjust to the new school life, so I couldn’t really update until now. Well, anyways, enjoy the chapter!
Raws:
*POV: Leonhart*
A wedding ceremony to wele an empress was a special thing. The entire country expressed their weles and the citizens gave their blessings.
The marriage with Shane was exciting because it had been a while since this country had married with another country for purposes other than military expansion.
At the wedding ceremony, the beautiful Shane attracted all the attention again. I gave a slight smile when I saw his lovely figure wearing the indigo dress. He had a dignified appearance that many people couldn't take their eyes off of. I, myself, was no exception.
When I gave a kiss to plete the oath, I was surprised to see wide eyes staring at me. That's when I saw a glimpse of his youthfulness. I got interested in Shane who showed a different side of himself.
But no matter how beautiful he was, Shane was a man. I was worried it would be unpleasant if we were to embrace on the bridal night.
While I was still worried, I entered Shane’s room and saw him dressed like a man for the first time. He was also acting differently from usual, and faced me head on. (?)
Since Shane didn't want an intimate relationship as a married couple, I thought that was fine too. For that reason, I had him call me by my nickname that close friends would call me by.
After that, Shane taught me how to play "Othello" and it became a daily routine to talk about anything other than love. Our relationship was one where we didn't mind each other much, like friends, it was very fortable to me.
It seems I had so much fun to the point where it became unreasonable. The moment I collapsed, my vision turned black, and the next thing I knew, I was staring at the ceiling of my room.
Kristoff severely scolded me while throwing in sarcasm.
After a while, Shane visited my room and said he was here for nursing. He got angry that I was working, so I asked to him to wake me up after a short while, but he pletely disregarded that request and I ended up giving up on it altogether. I thought it wasn't a bad idea to slowly pass the time with Shane.
And for the first time, I saw Shane's real smile, and not his forced one. Seeing that smile, I felt my heart being warmer.
Naturally, a smile floated across my face.
*****
While my body was recovering, Shane was acting as my replacement for certain duties. The Prime Minister, who also coiled his tongue, made use of his (Shane's) knowledge regarding agriculture, to lend me strength. (???WTF)
(??) Even though people from around the world call me "Aloof King
