60. Ocean
"Verena!"
Azazel suddenly caught both of my hands, and I stopped mumbling to myself as I focused my gaze at his worried crimson eyes.
"Would you please take a deep breath and relax?"
He pressed his forehead to mine with a reassuring smile.
"Calm your breathing... and relax yourself."
I attempted to settle myself down in the same way he did, matching my breathing to his.
(... W-what have I done..? My emotions have become uncontrollable.)
I trembled and leaned myself toward Azazel and apologized to him.
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."
"...shssh.. It's alright, it's alright."
He patted my back reassuringly as he embraced me to a hug and I felt myself on the verge of tears.
(His scent... it's really Azazel... right... I have Azazel.)
I closed my eyes back as I leaned to his comfort. Little did I know that a shadow fell over his eyes as he comforted me.

"Why don't we take our shoes and socks off and wade in the shallows?"Azazel grinned like a fool when I accepted his offer right away. I stepped into the water as soon as I was barefoot, much like Azazel, who did it cheerfully.(It's... refreshing and cool.)Azazel stood on the beach, his trousers rolled up slightly, tentatively approaching the sea."Oh! Isn't this a breath of fresh air, Verena?!""Yes it is."With my toes drenched, I gave a startled jerk as the tide rolled out, pulling the sand with it and touching my flesh.My eyes widened in amazement as I looked down at the departing wave as Azazel chuckled while he examined my actions.The two of us then took a stroll along the sand, taking in the sensation of the waves tickling our feet and the sand squishing between our toes."Oh.. it's a shell."It was cracked as I picked it up from the sand."What a shame, it's not perfect."My eyes na

"Azazel...?"He launched himself at me and wrapped his arms around me, tumbling both of us onto the soft bedsheets with his abrupt tackle.We laid there, softly giggling. I cuddled my body against his and gently stroked his back.Azazel tightened his grip and the room spun around us as he rolled us over.As he formed a naughty look and a copy grin, I found myself pinned beneath him. Then I notice that my heart rate has increased.Azazel intertwined his fingers in mine, forcing them into the bed, and dropped a succession of sweet kisses on my neck, speeding up the pace even further.(... I think I would fall more deeply if he kept doing this.)-My body was hurting in the morning, and I felt quite weary from the night before.(Well, given that we went two rounds, it's understandable.)I sighed to myself as I drew the covers even higher over my exposed body and waited for Azazel to arrive since he had work to

"So, what do you want to talk about?"Valac sat in his chair and rested both of his legs on the table, as it was his habit.Valac was uninterested about the tea cups and cookies on the table.Leon was taken aback by his unpolished demeanor, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.He was bothered by Valac's treatment of the guests, but he couldn't express his displeasure since he was also fearful.Leon, on the other hand, tried to hide his nervousness by smiling sweetly at Valac, who was impatiently waiting for Leon to speak."Your Highness, this may appear impolite, but I'd want to inquire if you're satisfied in your current position."He questioned carefully, the word 'position' sounding bitter in his voice as he spoke, reminding Valac of his own status as the third prince.Valac, of course, would notice. He could even foresee what Leon would say next."You're the second son of the previous Empress, Prince Valac.

"Hey Louis."When I was still a young kid, I remembered asking something to my head butler, Louis Vaughn who acted as my father and took very good care of me.His gaze softened as he turned his head toward me, a smile on his lips."Yes, Your Highness?"He asked, staring me in the eyes, and I returned his gaze, unwavering."Why I don't have a mother? I want to have a mother too."His eyes widened significantly, and he knelt to equal my height, looking at me with a pained expression on his face."Why did you ask that, Your Highness?""... because brother Drystan mocked me for not having a mother."I tightened my grip on my attire, my gaze lowered."... I want to have a mother too.."I murmured under my breath, didn't even dare to look at him in the eyes.Now that I think about it, I'm curious about his expression when I was lowering my head.Maybe he was pitying me, or maybe he

My heart was racing the entire day after my unexpected confession as I tried to keep my distance from Azazel.But, before long, the sun sets and the moon rises into a sky ablaze with brilliant stars.(I can't believe I just confessed to him.)I sat in my room, awaiting his return. Because I just declared my love for him, tonight will be different, and it will be awkward for me.When the door opened and Azazel entered the room with a brilliant smile on his face, my cheeks were still hot all over and my heart began to race even faster."Verena!"He rushed up to me as soon as he saw me and tackled me to the bed, surprising me."A-Azazel?!"My heart began to beat even faster as he titled his head and grinned so childishly that I was afraid it would explode.He drew himself away from me and dragged me in to sit next to him."I was surprised for you to come at me like that."I laughed as I looked him in the eyes,

"The moment you wake up, you see a stranger and try to kill them, and the moment you realize you don't have a chance against me, you turn the entire room into ice."He simply shrugged and leaned against the water that had formed behind him.(Not just any user.)My eyes sharpened in suspicion as I looked at him.(He's an excellent water user.)"How do you know that I'm the Empress?""It may not looked like it, but I saw you at the coronation."His response surprised me, and my eyes widened in disbelief.However, just by looking at him, I could tell he wasn't a nobleman."You're not a nobleman, are you? Truly, who are you?"With a smug expression on his face, he remained silent until the water behind him vanished.He moved a step closer to me, but I quickly built an ice between us to prevent him from crossing the line.(I didn't create any useful potions. Recently, I've been far too careless. And it wa

"Please accept our apologies, Your Majesty. Please punish us for our irresponsibility. We don't deserve to serve you."Ethan and Edgar both bowed appropriately, their gazes fixed on the floor.I was in front of them, with the man who had snuck into my room the night before standing beside me.When I told the twins about what had happened, they felt terrible and blamed themselves for not noticing anything and putting me in danger.I reassured them that it was fine because the man was in need of help, despite the fact that the method he asked was a little overwhelming and I was on the verge of death.Of course, the twins were skeptical to believe this man who showed up, claimed to be a pirate, and requested my assistance.They're wary of him."Edgar, Ethan, I've previously stated that it's preferable if you don't make the same mistake again. Don't make me repeat myself."When they saw I was quickly losing patience, they both rais
