"Holy crap, I kneel down on my wife, that stupid husband!! You're not even willing to talk...!

Alone, on the bedside, Jill shakes up a soft pillow and grates it. Even though I know it's an eight hit, my belly bug doesn't subside.

The time is midnight. Hadith didn't even show up for dinner.

Everyone in the castle is busy running around despite the late-night protection of residents. Jill was not allowed to be involved in any of those tasks.

Sphere also ended up being followed by the 'protection destination' at Hadith's place.

(... I have a bad feeling. I mean, I only have a bad feeling)

I rolled over to the side with my pillow in my arms. I'm not wearing bedtime clothes because something happened.

A curse or a goddess or a black spear, anyway, something is attacking this one right now. If you believe Hadith's words, put them on women over fourteen - the point is, they can manipulate them.

Therefore, Hadith's approach is simple and clear. For one thing, all the women you see are locked up in the castle and monitored.

(... but he was also moving in the form of a black spear, wasn't he? I mean, that's a chunk of magic power, and I get it on people, but isn't it willing?)

It doesn't matter what you think of a weapon that has the will, isn't it the holy spear of the goddess Craitos? For example, there are things that I can nod off when I say that I am the wife of the Dragon Emperor.

"Was that theory right that the goddess Craitos and the dragon emperor Rave were supposed to be husband and wife gods... I mean, am I all over it?

I want you to give me a break. I got a long sigh.

But Jill is the one who got rid of that thing that leads to Hadith. It would surely have been recognised as an enemy more than it had done with its hands.

(Faster, I feel………)

- You don't even love me.

Exactly. How did you get your hands on it?

You just had to help Sphere and watch Hadith get rid of that black thing.

Yet - there is only one conclusion to be drawn from it.

(Let's calm down a bit, myself. What the hell is wrong with that one? Honestly, Prince Gerald was still more of a man, even though Ciscon would ruin everything. I didn't spit blood, I have common sense...)

But even once, Gerald never gave me Jill's wish. He never even pulled me off trying to fulfill my wish.

At all times, Jill's "I want to" or "I don't want to" was never accounted for or conceded by Gerald.

But Hadith, once, tried to get Jill back to Craitos, and also put Jill's hopes through one of the Marquis of Bail's cases.

(… I mean, am I expecting?)

Maybe this time, we can fall in love with each other, like we can help each other and support each other without ending up being used.

"… speaking of which, you missed to thank Your Majesty for your help…………"

Will the hand injury be okay? Did you handle it properly? Thinking about it made me feel restless.

We should talk first. I can't do that, but at least let's be thankful.

Jill gets up thinking that. If Hadith has already rested, you can pull back.

Most importantly, I want to see how I feel. Otherwise I can't conclude.

When I wove my usual jacket and pushed open the big door in my bedroom, there was a figure ahead.

"Your Majesty?"

With a face as surprised as Jill with her eyes rounded, Hadith is breathlessly solidified. Hi. He was standing in front of the bedroom door.

"… What's wrong?"

"... you're the one"

"What are you doing, good for you, miss? Wake up! There you go. Apologize!

All of a sudden Rave jumped out of Hadith's back and then slapped him in the head with his tail.

"Apologize... my judgment is not wrong. So I'm not bad."

"Fine, you apologize, you can apologize for anything you want at times like this! You have a good face, so you're deceiving me with the atmosphere!

What did you think you were going to do when you said it in front of him? Hadith turned to him.

"You know what, don't wonder if I... I'm not impressed."

"You, the good part is, don't get any more decent on your face now!

"Rude, I'm always decent. So I'm not bad."

"…… So, I mean, what were you doing?"

Hadith looked flickered in Jill's words. Rave sighs over Hadith's shoulder.

"You're strong enough for me to say it back... this is it when you put the lady in front of you"

"Shut up Rave.... I'm not bad. Never. I didn't say anything wrong. But"

Hadith, who had the cold eyes of an emperor, was suddenly tempted.

"… you hate…………………….... Then what about you?!?"

"Now it's the other way around……………."

…… Your Majesty, let me see your hands. "

Without an eye, Jill took Hadith's left hand, facing him alone.

I grabbed a black spear to protect Jill. There was a burn on the palm of my hand that had no redness.

"Did you give him a hand?

"Beh, it doesn't hurt…………………………."

"It won't hurt. - Beautiful hands."

To Jill, who told her low, Hadith, who was twitching somewhere, stopped the movement perfectly.

…… Oh, I'm angry... of... is that it?

"Let's at least apply ointment. And then the bandage... please come inside."

Open the door and open your hands inside the room. But Hadith didn't move.

"... Now, don't be nice to me. I don't know what to do."

I'll give it to you, because it's what Hadith tells you to be weak.

"Then don't come to apologize lightly, Your Majesty."

"Oh, I didn't come to apologize. It's just..."

"It's just that, if you're an emperor, pierce me like an emperor.... Mostly His Majesty doesn't want me to hate him or anything that would confuse him......!

"Ma, confuse me? Wait a minute, I don't understand."

"What makes you like me, don't be ridiculous. Do you think I haven't noticed? - You've never even called my name!

Hadith opened her eyes in gold. Jill, breathing on her shoulder, wants to punch her tongue.

Just a couple of shapes. Now I don't know which one wants to break that line. Jill, who dropped her gaze, can't see Hadith's face or Ravé.

The voice heard from overhead, breaking the silence, was Ravé.

"Lady, that is -"

"Rave, don't. That's okay."

Jill looks angry at the enlightened remark. But when I saw Hadith's face, I lost momentum.

"... you are right. Oh, my God, don't like me. Even I can't like you. - That's the beginning of hell."

"Your Majesty! You were there."

Hadith turned her body to the voice and multiple footsteps of a soldier who jumped in the hallway.

"What's wrong, at this hour"

"Fire is rising from the town of Bailburg. There was wind momentum and it was fast around the fire, and some residents said it was the curse of His Majesty the Emperor, and it seemed to have started a riot."

"Put the Northern Division out of the fire. But the castle gate remains grated."

Jill, who raised her face late, realized she didn't recognize the soldier's face.

No, before that, the patrol here on the floor is mihari. Why, before he did - that's when I noticed a dagger one of them was hiding behind his back.

"Your Majesty! They are."

Ravé, my wife, please.

An invisible wall stood at Jill's outstretched hand. At the same time, Hadith pulls out her lower back sword at a speed that Jill's eyes can't even capture.

When I noticed, the three of them, they were slashed and rolled onto the cobblestone floor.

"Hit... 's, it's a curse, it's an emperor's curse after all!

"Yes, just run away, retreat the women first...!

The rest of you escape. Without pursuing him, Hadith snaps with his sword.

"He's still alive, so you should run away with him as we do.... Whatever you call a curse, it's convenient."

"... go home"

One of you grabbed Hadith's leg. Hadith looks down at it with no expression.

"Let my wife be sacrificed………………………………"

"I thought I explained it was protection. Well, you can't believe the words of the cursed emperor."

Without hesitation, Hadith waves away the hand. Later, Mihali jumped out of the corner of the hallway.

"Ko, Your Majesty, now there's a scream... Ko, is this a thief!?"

"He's a resident of town. You must have been sneaking in to get the women back - is it true that the town is on fire?

"Oh, yes! Also... the inhabitants are on their way to the castle... His Majesty would rather be evacuated with Jill."

"That's not how it works. Their aim is my neck."

To Hadith, who laughed lightly, Mihali bores the words.

The Emperor's face. An appearance that intoxicates, frightens and kneels all who see.

"My wife let her escape to a safe place. It's my job to stop the riots."

"And stopping…… is…………"

Hadith doesn't answer. Step down the corridor dirty with blood and walk away.

Blue Jill screamed.

"Your Majesty! - Mihali, what about Camilla and Sieg!? Please stop Your Majesty, His Majesty says it will remain like this...... Mihali?

Mihari, with her lips tied together all the time, as if she could not hear Jill or something, checked the bleeding condition of the three of them, took the weapon and tied it to the edge of the hallway.

And I followed Hadith as I was.

"I don't hear you, miss. 'Cause this is where the dragon god Ralph is."

When he heard a voice coming from behind, Jill turns around.

The glowing dragon god, fluttering and rising in the air, said with a troubled face.

"I'm sorry. We can't afford to lose you, miss."
