When The Mad Emperor Suddenly Becomes Sweet

Why does this keep happening?

It hasn’t been that long since the night Lucius was attacked.

Freya quickly leaned Lucius against cornstalk, took off his cape, and checked his arm.

“Your Majesty, there’s a stabbed wound there.”

“This is fine.”

“You’re bleeding so much, what do you mean you’re fine.”

“It’s not too bad to get hurt.”

Lucius, who was staring into her eyes, whispered very quietly. Freya looked through her bag, found a piece of cloth, and tied it around his wound.

“It’ll be too dangerous if you don’t stop bleeding.”

“It’ll stop soon.”

“Your Majesty, you remember your way back right?”

Lucius leisurely but slowly shook his head.

“No, I was lost and found you.”

“…. Pardon?”

Lucius was in the same situation as her, she couldn’t say anything about this ridiculous situation.

“Then what should we do now? You’re hurt and it’s so dark.”

“What do you mean?”

Lucius looked at her and the dead beast and shrugged his shoulders.

Then when she found something that shined on the floor and as she went to pick it up, Lucius stretched out his arm.

“Are you going to leave a patient?”

She sat right back down at his strong pull. Freya complained as she dusted her clothes.

“It looks like we dropped something there.”

“Just stay by my side.”

Lucius held her tight and his eyes flashed strong light.

“How is someone that was badly hurt, this strong?”

In the end, Freya sat beside him with her handheld by him. It was uncomfortable just to be sleeping in the cornfield, but to be with his Majesty as well.

So unlucky I am. So unlucky.

Also, she was scared that Lucius might find out that she tried to run away.

He mumbled slowly as he stared at Freya’s nervous face.

“I won’t let your hand go no matter what you say so keep that in mind.”

“Your Majesty, why?”

She was uncomfortable sitting so close, and her mind headed to the wrist that was being held hard. Lucius spoke as she was frowning.

“I was hurt trying to save you. If you run away at this point, who’s going to take care of me?”

“….. Ha.”

She was about to say something but his face was so serious that she couldn’t.

Freya calmed her breathing and spoke.

“What do you mean running away?”

She felt a little guilty after yelling. It wasn’t like she wasn’t thinking of running away then and now.

“Then you weren’t running away from me?”

Lucius held her wrist tight, stared away, and responded bitterly.

“No, I was… I just got lost.”

As she was trying to lie, her tongue twisted as she wasn’t used to it but she couldn’t admit that she was running away.

Freya glared as she was put in a corner. If Lucius found out she was running away, she has to give him hundred gold coins.

“But why are you here, Your Majesty?”

If on schedule, he should be at the palace already.

Lucius pulled her wrist at her question and their bodies touched each other. His eyes were curved with a smile as he stood so close that they could share the same breath.

“I had something to catch here.”

She stammered as she felt the heat from Lucius coldly smiled.

“That beast just now?”

But it was weird.

His Majesty didn’t enjoy hunting. Also, if it was for hunting then he would’ve brought hunting dogs and the chasers.

No way could that be it.

She met eyes with Lucius as she was shaking her head in disbelief.

“Yes. I came to get you.”

Hiccup.

Freya hiccupped in surprise as she stared into Lucius’s blue eyes.

‘Me?’

His eyes were very serious.

The wind that came through the cornfield wrapped around them, and Freya carefully opened her mouth.

“I’m really sorry, but I can’t-.”

Be part of your insane plan.

I only have one life.

She bit her lips as she couldn’t continue. Lucius continued as he saw her troubled face.

“I have no intention of letting you go.”

“Your Majesty, I’m getting a little scared.”

Freya threw a joke trying to alleviate the heavy feeling, but Lucius smiled.

“Freya of Flanders, I heard Archer is your relative?”

“….. Ah.”

The end of a lie was never good. People thought that Freya was from the region of Cheese and Archer’s relative.

“This is a threat!”

As she fought back, Lucius brushed his bang.

“Freya, I’m being fair.”

“How is this fair?”

“Aren’t you being too mean to a patient?”

She didn’t feel pity as he held his wounded part and moaned.

“If I knew this was how it was going to be, I would’ve never signed.”

He calmly spoke as she looked enraged.

“That’s why you should really consider when you sign a contract.”

Lucius pulled Freya’s hand strongly and put his cold lips on the back of her hand. As her eyes opened wide surprised at the feeling, Lucius smiled.

“…. This is my signature.”

Freya froze and turned her head.

The night got deeper.

Freya kept complaining while sitting face away from him. The gratefulness that she felt when he saved her from the beast was no longer there.

I’m not thankful, and I don’t pity him!

She was trying not to pay attention to Lucius, who was moaning once in a while due to the wound.

How can he threaten me with that?

It was Lucius who spoke first after they didn’t talk for a while.

“Freya.”

“Yes.”

She was waiting for whatever weird thing he was about to say, but he really did say something weird.

“That moon looks like your face.”

At the end of Lucius’s gaze was a full moon that was glowing brightly.

Is he saying that my face is round and chubby like that? How could he pick such annoying words all the time?

Freya tapped on her fattened cheeks and frowned.

“Why aren’t you asking me why?” Lucius asked while still holding her hand. Then Freya shook her head while not even looking at his face.

“I’m not curious at all.”

It was when Lucius was about to speak.

“Your Majesty!”

Soldiers led by Gemini showed up through the cornstalks. Red torches surrounded them and Freya sighed secretly. Just like that, her plan to run away failed.
