Imperial-3
what were you just doing
Adele’s eyes narrowed as she touched her dry lips.
Her face blushed as she remembered what Robert was trying to do to her.
It was a complexion that would visibly change no matter who saw it, but there was no time to worry about such things at all.
If only the artifact hadn’t rang in that situation.
Surely it wouldn’t have been strange if their lips touched. I was trying to reach
Maybe, I didn’t know it would reach.
It was a problem that I couldn’t judge it coldly because I faced it in a state of emotions.
I should have stuck my head out first. If he had been a little more proactive, he would have reached it.
With that thought, regret surged, but he realized that the only person who could contact the artifact was the princess.
I mean, did you contact me then?
No matter how much I thought about it, it was the same regret, and Adele’s eyes grew cold as she bit her lip.
However, it was just a memory that lingered in my head.
What the heck…what was he thinking?
As they approached, it was always Robert who drew the line.
I knew you wanted to apologize, but I didn’t expect you to be so close in that situation.
Adele realized that Robert was quite shaken.
It looks calm, but it must be quite unsettling. I didn’t know what to worry about.
Wasn’t it the first time we met after meeting the Minotaur?
In the meantime, if you look for a change of heart, well.
Adele frowned slightly as she saw Robert contacting the princess through the artifact.
The atmosphere was cut off. What happened before won’t ever happen again. It was just a missed opportunity.
…I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sorry. However, the closest thing was himself.
He was the one who tried to reach the end and the one who made Robert’s heart waver for a moment.
I was thinking of just skipping it this time.
Although the atmosphere has been broken, it is unknown whether this situation will come again in the future.
“I’ll let you pass this time.”
Adele smiled as she touched her cheek, which had been touched by a hand much larger than her.
Even if I don’t like being in touch with other people, I quite like what you showed me before that.
Of course, if that happened next time, then he thought of putting an end to it even if he rushed first.
There were so many foxes targeting Robert that it wouldn’t be strange if he hesitated and was unknowingly taken away.

Speaking of memories, Mirazen didn’t have much to say about him.
He wasn’t even sure if the memories that had infiltrated him unknowingly were true.
After meeting Robert, I thought a lot.
There was no way to know if these memories that came suddenly were real.
I hadn’t even been a lover with Robert, so why do I look like a lover who can’t live in my memory?
After that, I couldn’t concentrate on everything.
Not only would I not know what kind of stares I would get if I said such a thing to Robert,
If strange rumors spread for no reason, it would have a bad effect on both Robert and himself.
I tried to forget it. Memories that become more detailed as time goes by made it feel like it was real.
It should be said that he had a slightly brighter impression than the Robert he remembered, and eyes that were a little purer than he knew.
It was quite a different feeling from the first meeting, which always left a dark impression.
The Robert he didn’t know, if this was true, the relationship probably wouldn’t have been like this.
That memory—no, Mirazen wasn’t sure if it could be called a memory.
What a shame if it was just a delusion. Even if Robert laughed at this, he had nothing to say.
Anyway. In his delusions, Robert was looking at only one person.
Although I couldn’t believe that it was Miragen himself. I thought it was because it was a delusion.
He knew very well that more than one person had a crush on Robert.
It was like that even before becoming the head of the family, but I heard that after becoming the head of the household, there were many marriage talks.
In fact, it was quite strange that Robert still had no mate.
They usually find a mate by now and get married, so it’s not unusual if they have children.
He was the only duke in the country, and unlike the Grand Duke of Adele, who was close to an honorary position, he had the most overwhelming power among the nobility.
“ha.”
It’s frustrating just thinking about it, but that’s the reality.
Perhaps, no matter how hard Mirazen tried, it would not be easy to fit into that gap.
Until now, they had met through fate, but both Robert and himself were getting busier and busier.
Robert is in the North. I don’t know what he’s doing, but I heard that Adrian also headed north.
Although the Archduke, himself, and Adrian are always tied up.
If asked if he was as close to Robert as they were… Mirazen smiled bitterly.
In comparison, he was always in debt.
It was Robert who saved me when I was in danger, and it was Robert who made me settle down in this fierce imperial family strife.
Without him, I hadn’t accomplished anything on my own, so I felt like my head was pounding for some reason.
Even in this situation, I’m looking for him in the end. I didn’t intend to get help with anything, but to be honest, I just wanted to see.
I knew for myself that this feeling was closer to affection.
Perhaps because of that, these delusions suddenly came to mind, but Mirazen would deny it if asked if it was really an unwanted thought.
It would have been nice if it was like that. I don’t know Robert’s heart, but it was a pretty happy imagination for Mirazen.
know. That I don’t have much time to give my heart to such thoughts.
I knew that the events happening in the imperial family were unusual, and that everything was under the leadership of my older brother, Keitel.
Even if it wasn’t for Robert, he wouldn’t have been able to plant people in the first place.
Mirajen figured out that people wearing masks were helping Keitel.
Perhaps the reason why Robert went to the north was to meet the Grand Duke.
Robert, who reacts a little sensitively to artifacts, could have left to find those wearing masks.
Even though he wanted to help, he stopped because he couldn’t find it, but he was relieved to know that Robert had his own business to go to.
I couldn’t find a reason why I was relieved.
I wasn’t stupid enough to realize that if I looked into it, so I realized that maybe it was because of the delusions that had been rising lately, but my feelings were getting deeper and deeper.
The scenes that I thought were delusional continued to go on.
Time passed, and as the days passed, I began to see details too detailed to be delusional.
I saw Robert die.
Until yesterday, they had promised each other a future, but the next day they had to hear that Robert had been executed.
probably a nightmare That person will never die for treason.
No matter how delusional it is, isn’t it too much? After that, I tried to forget.
There would be nothing good if I kept thinking about this, so I tried to forget it while looking at other things.
However, I did not forget. Wherever I went, I could only remember the place I had been with him.
There was even a secret space together.
Sometimes they became lovers without anyone knowing, and sometimes they became official lovers and earned everyone’s envy.
The garden they were together with last time, or even the street outside the imperial palace.
Robert was entangled in everything he knew.
Mirazen couldn’t bear to forget what she thought was a delusion. Reminds me even if I don’t want to.
There were so many memories of being together as lovers dozens of times.
It was similar to seeing Robert die without doing anything.
– There’s something I’ve always wondered about. why did you seduce me?
– Well, seduction.
-You did that on purpose when we first met at the imperial palace. Meeting you in an empty garden, it seemed like you knew I was coming there.
Originally, I wouldn’t have met you.
I didn’t run into him the first time, but every time after that, Robert came to see me as if he knew everything.
The first time it didn’t. But next time, and then again. I could always meet Robert in the same place.
Is it a coincidence?
Or was it because it was like a magical bond, that it could always be connected like that?
The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. The thought of calling Robert was not easily thought of.
Because it was too complicated. The intertwined thoughts were too long to be mere delusions.
There were situations where we always said the same thing, and there were times when we were in the same place but said different things.
But it was always the same. That was what Robert always smiled at when he saw him.
When we first met and when we parted. When we meet again, when Robert dies himself.
Whenever their eyes met, they always had a soft smile.
So I thought it was a delusion, but what if this is really a memory?
“…When was the last time I saw you?”
Robert doesn’t laugh very well.
He used to laugh a few times when he saw himself, but not as often as he had in his head. Did he laugh that much because he was a lover?
I do not know.
I couldn’t tell what was real and what was delusional.
It’s been a long time since I grabbed something to do something, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been on the table.
Are you unable to concentrate? If I tried to do something for a little bit, it was all done with Robert, and only memories came to mind.
When I sat here, a plate of tea came down.
After drinking it, he looked up for a moment and saw Robert’s face, who had brought a chair and looked at him before he knew it.
– Why do you look like that?
– Just watch.
There was no particular reason. There was a time when it was good to just make eye contact.
Although it’s a pity that it’s not now, there was something I wanted to ask once.
If these delusions—perhaps even memories—scenes were real, and Robert knew about them.
what kind of eyes were you looking at me Is it love or sadness?
When I looked at myself, I thought it was time to ask about that unknown emotion mixed in my eyes.
After spring passes, summer again, I feel the time slowly changing. I had never been so impatient as I am now.
Mirazen let out a small sigh and quietly took the artifact out of her arms.
If I hadn’t given this to her when we first met, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.
It was the only way to connect Robert, who had no contact with him, and himself. After thinking about it for a while, Mirazen tried to contact him by infusing her magic power.
– I was just watching because it was pretty.
“Robert?”
Mirazen rather hoped that this was her own delusion.
If this is a memory, even the sad expression Robert had on was the truth.
On a rainy day, I can’t forget the expression Robert made while holding himself bleeding.
