Remarried Empress – Chapter 239. Confession of Two People. (2)
"!"
"I love you, I love you, but I can't stand myself being swayed by such a drug now."
"Uh…Uh?"
I was trying to console Heinley, but I was embarrassed and took my hand off.
I don't know what I just heard.
What did you just say?
You love him? Heinley? Me?
Heinley's face crumpled.
"You don't like me because I don't have Zizo?"
Tears gathered in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes grew round.
"No, it's not that…."
I murmured half-mouthed.
It was still hard to understand what I heard.
Heinley likes me?
Is it me that Heinley saw for the first time after taking the medicine?
The reason Heinley likes me….
No, of course, sometimes I thought there was a hint of course.
But it's still….
"I think it's still in effect, Hein-ri."
"No, the drugs really went out at dawn."
"But you can't love me."
I got up in a hurry.
"Queen."
Hein-li reached out and grabbed the edge of my robe slightly, and looked up like an animal just before it was thrown away.
I swept his hair away and slipped away.
"You look a little excited right now, but just calm down first."
"I'm not doing this because I'm excited… No, of course I'm excited. But I'm not excited about the drugs."
Heinley looks up at me pitifully.
If I went out like this, I would have misunderstood that I was angry with Hein-ri for being drugged.
I said over and over again, holding his cheek with my hands.
"Just calm down for now."
"Queen…"
"I'm not angry."
It's just… …a man who was hanging on to me, saying he liked it, was just bitter because he was stuck in his room alone like a snail in one day.
Heinley looks at me to see if I'm nervous.
Stretching out his hand and covering his cheek, he repeatedly said he was okay.
Still not relieved, Heinley buried his head on my waist.
It wasn't until nearly a couple of hours after that that that Heinley managed to calm down.
However, he is not able to approach as sly as usual, and is intimidated and wary of the situation.
It was heartbreaking to see it.
At the same time, he was angry with Grand Duke Kafmen.
He's been through so much for his own medicine.
How do you even think about feeding Heinley?
"I thought it was because of the side effects of the Mana Stone Bed."
"No, there's no problem at all."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
We had lunch together late, and it was only then that I could see why Hein-ri received an emergency report on the outskirts for two days in a row.
"We've received reports that the bandits of Shangshicheon are expanding their presence."
"Are you coming this way?"
"It's not just about this side, it's about increasing the overall size."
I've heard the name since I was in the Eastern Empire.
When my brother was out there, I often fought with them.
Is it coming this way, too?
"There's nothing wrong with being prepared for now, so I'm checking the defensive front."
"Let's ask my brother about Sangshicheon."
He's an expert enough to fight as a hobby even though he's not in charge of himself.
I skipped the back story because I didn't have to put it on.
When I recommended it, Heinley laughed awkwardly.
"Otherwise, Sir April strongly recommends you."
After Heinley has been somewhat stabilized.
First of all, I left the room and went to Prince Kafmen.
Rasta's strange treatment of him this morning must have something to do with the potion.
Otherwise Rasta was so bewildered that he couldn't have seen the Duke of Kafmen.
If you came here to get closer, you would have tried to stay by your side smiling as beautifully as possible.
But when I saw Rasta in the morning, she looked very embarrassed.
I went to where he stayed and knocked on the door.
After a moment's waiting, the door opened and Grand Duke of Kafmen appeared.
He was dressed neatly as usual.
He looked blue, but he looked relatively fine.
"Your Majesty."
Grand Duke Kafmen called me in a low voice when his eyes met with me.
There was no strength in that look. Are you sick?
I'll turn around to talk about it later because I don't look well. But… …
That's too much.
It reminds me of Hein-ri, who was very surprised to see the medicinal effects for a while.
If it's for trade, I'll stay longer for a while.
I'm sorry if you're not feeling well now, but I should have made sure of him at this point.
But before I open my mouth.
"Sorry."
Grand Duke Kafmen apologized first, lowering his eyes.
"…do you understand what made me angry?"
When asked coldly, he nodded weakly.
I put my hand on my waist and looked at him with the most fierce look possible.
"A lot. I'm very disappointed."
When he spoke coldly, his head bowed even more.
For a moment I chose what to say.
Should I emphasize that I'm disappointed? I didn't know he was like this. It's the worst. Would you blame me for trying to hurt me the same way, even though you were angry at me for being sick for Soso-shu?
All sorts of words appeared and disappeared in my head.
And each time the face of Grand Duke Kafmen was dimmed by the hour.
It's as if I've heard a curse I've spewed inside.
Are you afraid of what I'm going to say in advance?
After a moment's thought, I found the right word.
"From now on, don't pretend to know me unless it's for work."
"Your Majesty!"
I know he hasn't worked out yet.
That he is suffering a lot from that's why I'm suffering.
However, due to the issue of trade with Shunt, the Grand Duke of Kafmen still has to stay here.
So make sure it doesn't cause the same problem next time.
Shocked by my words as expected, Grand Duke Kafmen held the doorframe so tightly that it broke.
His eyelids trembled, and his pupils looked darker than usual.
Still, he did not retract his words.
He bit his lips tightly and closed his eyes.
Then after a long time, he spat out unexpected words.
"Why is he so still?"
I was so surprised at the moment that my eyes tightened.
How do you know? Is it a coincidence?
"How did you know? Is it a coincidence?"
And then he said…it was the same as I thought.
As he stepped back in embarrassment, he said hurriedly.
"I'm not a monster."
"!"
The eyes met.
It was the first time I found his expression smeared with fear.
My expression in his black pupil was similar.
Grand Duke Kafmen looked at me blankly for a moment.
What's wrong with him?
While thinking, I quickly shook my head in an uncomfortable mood.
Reading other people's thoughts.
What the hell is that ability?
I got goose bumps.
Rather than novelty, it was very burdensome and reluctant to get close.
There's no one in the world who wants to know what he's thinking…don't tell me.
Did you tell me on purpose?
When the eyes met, Grand Duke Kafmen accepted with a voice that was collapsing.
"It's my ability, but it's also my weakness."
"…."
"Hold it. The next time the same thing happens, I'll accept it even if you let everyone know."
Grand Duke Kafmen said the words, and then took a step backward.
"Even if you let me know now…I'll take it."
