66. Depart
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.

"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

"Tell me what went wrong."When I asked Rho to tell me everything that had occurred, he nodded his head."My crew and I were traveling on our ship about a month ago. Oh, I just wanted to let you know that we're not a bunch of bad pirates!"I nodded, asking him to continue his story, as he grinned and waved his hands around in the air."Then, out of nowhere, our enemy, another pirate who despises me, attacked us. That one eyed bastard— Gladiolas."(Gladiolas? Haven't heard of that name.)I thought to myself as I continued to listen to his story."Normally, we'd win against him, but that jerk did something he shouldn't have. He was backed by a noble, and I noticed how his crew had been replaced by the knights of this noble."(... What I'm getting is that this noble who is currently supporting Gladiolas is trying to earn profits by selling slaves and using the Blue Island, the abandoned area, as his hidden slave source

When I presented Rho with an imperial knight uniform, his eyes widened in surprise."T-this—""It's the attire of an imperial knight. Wear that because you're going to the temple with me."His eyes sparkled the moment he was handed the uniform."Wow~"I knew why he couldn't stop grinning. It was because he had sought numerous times to become a knight of a noble family but had always been rejected and discriminated against due to his social standing.And now he was given not only a regular knight's uniform, but the Imperial Knight's entireuniform.His fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the uniform I handed him."We're arriving to the temple soon. You have excellent abilities, so I'm confident you'll be a good figure fitting for the Imperial Knights.""Oh my god—

But his expression remained unchanged with that gentle gaze on his face."It shows in your aura.""... My aura?"(Ah... don't tell me he has that special ability in his eyes...)My eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about all the possibilities within him."You— is it alright to expose yourself like that?"I'm just a stranger he met for the second time. And this is the first time we have a proper conversation.Yet he answered my questions clearly and even revealing his ability about seeing this 'aura'."Hmm... I don't mind."He narrowed his eyes sadly the moment his eyes cathes mine, as if he saw something that I would never under

"Lady Verena Zielle?"Despite the frigid atmosphere he projected with his gaze, his crimson eyes shone brightly.His lustrous golden hair, on the other hand, was well-tamed for someone who was continuously at war."I deeply apologize for the interruption in the middle of your affairs, Your Highness."I smiled as I bowed politely to Azazel von Elysian, the Elysian Empire's second prince."Raise your head, Lady Verena. What is it that has drawn the Lady of the Zielle Household to my humble palace?"Azazel's piercing crimson eyes peered at me, a glimmer of surprise in them, but his speech was absolutely monotone.I raised my head and chuckled as I placed my hand on the chest."Your Highness, you're far too humble. It's such a lovely palace.""Forget the formalities. What has brought you here?"His eyes grew colder as he stared down at me.With a confident look on my face, I straightened up and walked toward hi
