Episode 6.
Episode #6.
A sense of desolation hovered between the emperor and me.
In an atmosphere that seemed to be trying to lose weight, I was cautious even with my steps, lest I disturb my planting.
‘It must be crazy.’
After leaving my house.
The emperor was still in that state.
It seems that even after slapping Ariera’s cheek, his anger hasn’t subsided.
It was a part that showed how damned her grumpiness was.
‘She has a pretty face.’
I let out a small sigh so that she couldn’t hear her and lifted her head slightly.
A robe that flutters nicely whenever she walks.
Her tight-fitting black suit showed off her elongated legs.
Even though she was wearing a tight uniform, her breasts that could not be hidden were showing off her presence through a ripped shirt.
‘It’s beautiful.’
If Ariera was a smirking fox, Ragrasha was a rose with thorns.
The problem is…
‘In this life, I am allergic to roses.’
Acquired.
Because he keeps bothering me.
Such a beautiful appearance and a disproportionate personality.
She won’t know how I’ve spent the past three years.
‘It was too hard.’
Look at it now.
Ariera’s cheek was slapped for being simply late.
When I saw her, her teeth trembled and her anger surged up.
‘If only I had the strength..!’
She clenched her fists at the back of her head as she went ahead.
That was the moment.
“Iris.”
“Yes, yes..!”
I trembled and hurriedly answered the emperor’s words.
Her little chest thumped in surprise.
I must have thought to myself.
The moment she called my name, I thought she had made an unconscious mistake.
‘Calm down. It can’t be.’
Shaking my head, I waited for the emperor’s backstory.
His white teeth showed through his slightly parted lips in order to answer quickly.
“…”
But it was strange.
The emperor who called me didn’t say anything.
‘Is this the new bullying?’
Maybe it wasn’t.
As a servant, I shouldn’t have taken more than five seconds to listen to her, think, and respond.
That’s why I always have to be prepared…
‘It must be on purpose.’
Perhaps it was this way to relieve the anger caused by being late.
‘It’s evil anyway.’
With my lips still slightly parted, I turned my nerves to the wings.
Because I felt that I had to do something while waiting.
But.
‘Maybe my recovery will be quicker than a year.’
Could it be that I was too obsessed with the sensation of flapping my wings?
“Ugh..!”
I found the emperor stopped on the road too late.
Kiik!
If it was a car, it probably would have made that sound.
When I came to my senses, the Emperor’s back was already filling my field of vision.
You don’t know what humiliation you will face if you collide.
The thought filled my head and I stopped with all my might.
Flutter!
Even the small wings fluttered to stop my body.
The result.
I managed to stop before colliding with the Emperor.
‘Whew..!’
I let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, anger rose up as well.
‘Did you make this to annoy me?’
She knew I was being followed.
You must have known that if you stopped like this, you would collide.
My eyes widened with anger.
In that instant.
“…!”
The emperor turned his back.
Then, soon after, my eyes opened beautifully.
“Iris.”
“Yes, yes. Did you call?”
It was a voice full of bewilderment.
The emperor stares at me like that.
Then he told me right away.
“Smile.”
“…?”
For a moment, my face was dumbfounded.
Isn’t there such a time?
When the brain can’t keep up with the situation.
Now it was like that.
The accident did not understand the emperor’s words.
No, maybe it was something I didn’t want to understand.
That’s right, to laugh all of a sudden.
Could there be a more absurd order than this?
But.
The emperor gave such an absurd order.
“Iris. He told me to laugh right now.”
It even put a wedge in my heart, which turned away from reality.
“…Yes.”
After she said it twice, she couldn’t ignore it any longer.
‘I guess I just have to pretend to smile.’
I slowly raised the corner of my mouth, which had been hardened with embarrassment.
“Heh, hehehehe…”
A stupid sound came out of my mouth.
Why is the corner of the mouth so heavy?
The corners of my mouth trembled as I forcibly pulled it up, which looked like it had a heavy weight attached to it.
“Hmm…”
Seeing this, the emperor salivated.
“This is not it.”
‘Then what’s right?’
I swear inwardly.
Contrary to that, the reality of laughing like an idiot in front of Ragrasha made my stomach ache.
‘I will find a way.’
One year is too long.
Even if I pour out my holy power, I will repair my wings faster.
It was when I was gnashing my teeth inwardly.
The emperor stretched out his hand.
“Smile like this a little more.”
“Ugh, ugh…!”
She put her hand in my mouth.
Isn’t it then that I grab the corner of my mouth and stretch it?
It didn’t hurt.
But.
Shame.
This sense of contempt.
A single tear flowed from the corner of my eye.
‘Why, why are you doing this?’
Did I do anything wrong?
This kind of bullying was the first time.
Whether she knew how I felt or not, she told me with her disappointed face.
“Why don’t you smile at me?”
With that, she withdrew her hand from forcibly opening her mouth.
Her hands were smeared with transparent saliva, and while she was walking away, she was making her own white skein, and it broke off.
“Smile a little brighter. Brightly. It is strong.”
“…”
Now that’s what you’re talking about.
My eyes went up in unbearable rage.
The immaculate fire was dyed red with shame.
Her tightly closed lips were pressed against her teeth and distorted.
“I can’t understand this feeling.”
Lagrasha muttered to herself while leaving me trembling with anger behind me.
I didn’t care about her.
Yes.
Originally, this was normal.
It was an immutable truth that has never changed.
Being hurt all over again was strange.
Because I am a slave.
But.
‘I was a modern person.’
Equal society.
Having lived in Korea, there was no way I could endure such bullying.
Rather, it was close to a miracle that they endured for three years.
“Confused.”
I bit my lip hard as I watched the emperor take a handkerchief from his bosom and wipe it off his hands.

Jurruk.
Her pretty lips burst and blood gushed out.
A sharp pain penetrated the brain through the spine.
It was like a firecracker exploded in my head.
No, it was a signal flare.
‘I will definitely fix the wings within this month.’
After that, we will say goodbye to that dog-like emperor forever.
My eyes flashed.
That was the moment.
“Hmm…?”
The emperor’s eyes showed doubt.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Judging by her vision, she must have seen my chapped lips.
‘Let’s go away for now.’
I hurriedly dipped my tongue into my lips.
It was then.
“…It’s bleeding.”
The Emperor grabbed my lips with his thumb and forefinger.
“Oops…!”
When I touched the torn wound, I felt a tingling pain.
Ignoring him, the emperor began to rub his thumb against his lips.
“Uh, ugh..!”
Tears flowed from the stinging pain.
But the emperor is a person who will persevere and do his job even if I am sick.
It sounds like you’re right.
The emperor pressed his lips harder.
“aaah!!!”
A terrible pain flashed before my eyes.
I refused the emperor’s hand because of the indescribable pain.
Because it hurt so much.
My body was back on its own.
“…”
Ragrasha looked at me, who had stepped back far away.
Again.
Her tears were streaming down her face, reflected in her pupils.
She opened her mouth.
“…The blood didn’t stop. Then there is nothing you can do Just go in and rest today. I’m going to have you work as a professor in earnest tomorrow.”
“…”
My heart was already exhausted.
I wanted to swear at her even now.
But.
Having endured that, I bowed my head.
“…Yes.”
* * *
Tumbling.
Iris disappeared into the distance.
It seemed that something was missing.
Seeing that powerless figure, an unknown emotion surged in Ragrasha’s heart.
“…”
To find out what she was feeling, Lagrasha thought of several thoughts.
But no matter what.
I couldn’t figure out that feeling.
‘What the hell is this?’
This tickling yet stuffy feeling.
It felt like a hot piece of iron had fallen into my chest.
“I don’t understand.”
Ragrasha muttered to himself once more.
Then, I turned my gaze to my hand at the sudden feeling of warmth.
There was her blood on it.
Bright red blood.
‘It belongs to Iris.’
She used to have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
That’s why I reacted sensitively even to the slightest sound.
The reason was that he would get angry if there was a sound when closing the door.
By the way.
It must have been.
For some reason, it didn’t feel as dirty as this blood.
Rather, it seemed sweet.
Her gaze was captivated as if it were stained with sweet fruit juice.
“…”
When juice splashes on her hand, she usually sucks on it.
That was no different for Ragrasha, who had obsessive compulsive disorder.
Her fingers moved slowly to the corner of her mouth.
And then.
Chun…
Went inside her mouth.
Of course, the blood had no taste.
By the way.
Exciting.
Why is my heart beating so fast?
I obviously just wanted to bully you.
I just wanted to subdue Iris, who resembles her older sister.
‘Do I have other feelings?’
Then, what are those emotions?
What the hell…
“Huh? Your majesty!”
“…!”
A refreshing voice from behind.
Rag Rasha hurriedly pulled her finger out of her mouth.
Then, with his face straightened, he turned his back.
Then a girl appeared.
Light green hair like a green meadow.
Even green eyes that look like the surface of a fresh lime.
She is only smaller than the emperor, but her name is Serena.
Serena Corinne, to be exact.
He was a doctor at the academy here.
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“I was fine. I’m busy right now. So-“
“Huh? By the way, Your Majesty. Her face is a little red!”
Her eyes opened wide as she smiled brightly with a harmless face.
Then, Serena quickly approached the emperor.
“Your heart beats fast…Did you ingest poisonous weed?”
“…No. Eating poisonous weed. It’s not like you’ve got a fatal disease, so stop falling.”
“Huh?! But… Ah! Did you press on the wound again? I told you to fix that habit. That way, the wound will heal or not!”
“Didn’t you say no?”
“Don’t lie!”
“It’s not a lie.”
“……..”
Serena glared at the emperor.
But that’s for a while.
She
She sighed, she said, as soon as she realized she was an opponent she could not defeat.
“I will trust you just once.”
Ragrasha sighed in relief at that.
She wanted to quickly break this uncomfortable atmosphere and she wanted to think more deeply about this unknown feeling.
She prefaced her words to end her story.
“Thank you for trusting me. Then I’m busy, so I’ll go.”
“Oh, yes! Go!”
Then, Serena waved her hand and said hello.
At that, the emperor turned and headed for his office.
It was then.
Stand tall.
The emperor stopped walking.
Then he turns around with frightening swiftness.
“Uh…Your Majesty?”
Her Serena, who was seeing her off, tilted her head as if she was curious.
“I have something to ask you.”
But that’s for a while.
Serena smiled brightly when the emperor said he had a question for me.
“Yes! Ask! As far as I can tell, I will answer.”
“Yes. This is the trouble of an old friend of mine.”
“Ugh..! Really?”
I have to work hard on this!
Saying that, Serena clenched her fists.
Looking at her like that, her emperor said.
“When I see someone, my heart keeps getting stuffy and it tickles me. Even when she is not by her side, she is insecure and even tied up, she wants to be by her side.”
“…”
“Also, she says that she would like it if she only smiled at herself, but she hates being around other people.”
Ragrasha took her breath in once and continued her words.
“What kind of disease did my best friend have?”
“Hmm…That’s a pretty tough question. Can I think about it for a moment?”
“Of course. You can think slowly.”
“Thank you.”
Serena lowered her head and let out her drool.
I grabbed my chin with her pure white hand and started thinking for a while.
Gulp.
Ragrasha, who was looking at her, swallowed her dry saliva.
The waiting time was long.
She tapped the floor with her foot, knocking on the floor in her unknown anxiety.
Clap clap clap! Widely..!
“The name of the disease has been confirmed!”
“…!”
At Serena’s words, Ragrasha stiffened her waist.
“In fact, it is also called the name of the disease. This…Yes. It is a disease of the heart!”
“A disease of the mind?”
“Yes. It is a very difficult and poisonous disease.”
‘I thought I had that kind of disease?’
Ragrasha’s face began to darken.
But on the other hand, I was looking forward to it because I think I will be able to realize this unknown emotion.
That’s why Ragrasha focused on Serena’s next words.
Serena opened her mouth slowly.
“This disease. So… Can we call it love? Puch.”
“What?”
It felt like cold water had been poured on the burning expectations.
Ragrasha’s face quickly cooled.
But.
Serena, not realizing that, was excited.
“I want to be with you all the time… I hate it when my man sets his eyes on other women! If this is not love, what is! His Majesty’s best friend must have fallen in love.”
“…”
Ragrasha’s eyes shook after hearing her words to the end.
“Couldn’t it be… have you found a man who likes His Majesty?!”
Serina, who didn’t notice, was excited to see Lagrasha like that.
Ragrasha thought in the noise.
‘I… Love Iris?’
One piece reference? Hmmm….
