Chapter 11
Wow, what great timing. Also… what? He looked quite troubled? He had a bewildered expression as he looked down at my face.
The moment they saw Iyuri-san, Miluka-sama and William-sama paled and they put their hands to their chests and bowed with the most noble etiquette. Behind Iyuri-san was Solvay-san who was waiting, out of breath. Did he call for Iyuri-san?
That aside, I was in no position to be bumping into His Majesty. I broke away from him in a fluster and bowed with the highest courtesy.
“Hail, Your Majesty The Emperor.”
“…There is no need for such formalities. How did you get so dirty?”
He said it with such a cold voice, I felt like it froze my spine as he continued to watch me.
Huh, was he angry? I glanced at the young lady unintentionally, and realised she was glaring fiercely at me—as if she would kill me if I revealed the truth. Okay, I got it!
“That— I was tending to the garden, but when I tried to get up I staggered and fell down. These candidates came right in time and helped me. They… they wanted to befriend me so they took the trouble to come to such a place. I am so sorry to have shown you such an unsightly view,” I said in a way to not offend anyone.
I wanted to tell him the truth, but knowing the lady, she would definitely have the nerve to deny all allegations by lying. Rather, just because Iyuri-san didn’t see the whole thing, doesn’t mean you could glare at me like that!
Solvay-san looked like he wanted to say something, but I beg you, please don’t talk.
“…Is that so?”
Iyuri-san took out a top-quality handkerchief from his chest pocket and tried to wipe down my dirtied clothes.
Before he could do that, I quickly stepped back and refused him saying, “Your hands will get dirty.”
“Ollie-san…”
He whispered my name in a pained voice. When he used that voice… somehow it felt like I was bullying him.
If I was seen being cleaned by Iyuri-san, it was obvious that the young lady would later do something to me. It could be scary and I didn’t want to cause any future problems.
Iyuri-san turned to the other two and expressionlessly said.
“I finally met you two after great trouble, but shall we leave it to some other time?”
His tone was not the gentle one he used when talking with me, but one filled with coldness instead.
Miluka-sama bit her lips with regret and William-sama lowered his head with a slight smile.
“As His Highness wishes.”
As expected of the Emperor. His words were the strongest. The lady wouldn’t bark anymore though her face was full of frustration.
Miluka-sama and William-sama curtsied/bowed once more and went back to their rooms quietly. As expected, they would not kick up a fuss over the Emperor’s words. Yes, yes, go back, go back.
“Ollie-san! Are you injured?!”
As soon as the two disappeared from sight, Iyuri-san gripped my hands anxiously. Uoh! The attitude change was too much. I gently broke away from those hands and stepped back. Iyuri-san made a sad face. Once I had realised his identity, I wouldn’t do any disrespectful things anymore. It was a matter of course. Anyhow, he was the Emperor and I was a person of lower-class, almost a commoner. It was like the difference between clouds and dirt.
“Your Majesty, please pardon my rudeness from before I became aware of Your Majesty’s status. I will take on any punishment.”
When I sincerely bowed and said that, Iyuri-san grabbed my shoulder as if in a hurry.
“Please raise your head, do not apologise. I am the one who lied. It is I who should be apologising to you. I am sorry.”
The hands that grasped me felt hot, as if burning.
“Your Majesty should not apologise to this subject1. You cannot say things like that. Your Majesty revealing your status to the likes of me would just be unreasonable. Rather, even if you introduced your real identity, doing so to the lower-class would just be meaningless… Well, either way it is fine. Just when I thought you were an official, you turned out to be the Emperor. This will be a once in a lifetime story worthy of bragging about,” I said while smiling and once more fell a few steps back.
Iyuri-san bit his lip.
“But as expected, people of nobility are different both in appearance and bearing. Just by standing there they would appear beautiful. Compared to me, the difference is too great. As expected of the likely winners. Your Majesty also should not waste this opportunity. Do not come to me anymore, just go to those two. They suit Your Majesty.”
Haa, this should be enough. I was so tired and my body was feeling slightly hot. Crap, I finally started fully enjoying my life in the Inner Palace.
“Well then, it was only for a while, but I really enjoyed our time spent together. Thank you very much. Please excuse me.”
I said, and as I was about to go back, I was obstructed by a giant body in front of me. Such pressure.
“Erm? I would like to return now. Your Majesty must also be quite busy, so please do not mind me and quickly go back.”
I avoided his stock-still body and turned right wanting to leave, but Iyuri-san also turned his body in the same direction as if he wanted to block me. Even though I wanted to get away from there. This time I tried turning left, and Iyuri-san once again turned his body in the same direction. Coincidence? I thought, but as I moved my left and right legs, Iyuri-san did the same thing, blocking me. What’s his problem?! Hey! Let me go! I wanted to go back to my room.
“It is not the time to be messing around,” I said.
“I am not messing around.”
“Then let me pass.”
“I cannot do that.”
You wouldn’t let me pass?! What did you mean by that? Even if you told me to act like I always did with you, wasn’t it impossible already? I still cannot believe that the person in front of me was His Majesty the Emperor. I was deceived.
“Ollie-san, I…”
“Oh, it is okay. It was just unusual for the nobility to know how to cook. I somehow feel apologetic. I impudently made you eat the food of common people.”
“Things like that…”
“Ehem, as I was about to go to the steward, I am going back to my room one last time to change clothes, so please excuse me.”
I bowed my head and decisively ran away. Talking about these meaningless things would not change anything, so I escaped before he could say anything.
“Ollie-san!!?!” Iyuri-san anxiously shouted when I suddenly broke into a run, and started chasing after me. I stumbled into my room and locked the door, which was soon pounded on heavily.
“Please open the door! Ollie-san! Why did you run away?! And what do you need the steward for?! You aren’t going to tell him that you would be withdrawing from the candidates, are you?!”
I was not running away! I was only going back to my room! And how did he know that?! Did Solvay tell him?
“Ollie-san! Please open the door!”
The door knob rattled as it turned. It looked like he would break in soon! Aaack!
In the spur of the moment, I opened the glass door leading to the courtyard and exited outside. Why did I do that? I wondered, when suddenly everything before my eyes swayed.
“Eck!”
I swayed and fell down, slamming onto the grass. It hurts!! Wah, everything in my vision was spinning. I feel sick! I tried to stand up again only to stagger. To make matters worse, my body turned overwhelmingly hot. My heart also started pounding abnormally. I tried to stand up unsteadily, but in the end I wasn’t able to do so. What was happening to me?! I thought, when Iyuri-san unlocked the door and came inside the room while shouting, “Ollie-san?!”
He had the nerve to break into my room. Ah, but Iyuri-san was the master of the Inner Palace, so he could do whatever he wanted. And in spite of being such a young maiden at heart who would often get embarrassed, he could also be quite overbearing.
“Ollie-san?!?!”
The moment he looked out the window, my body reacted strongly. My body felt overwhelmingly hot and I felt suffocated.
As soon as Iyuri-san saw me, he put a hand to his nose and his eyes widened. Was something smelly? Even though I didn’t stink.
“This scent… it’s a heat!!”
What did he just say? His voice was too small so I couldn’t hear.
“Solvay! Don’t let anyone enter the room! You too, get out!”
Iyuri-san shouted to Solvay-san who was about to enter the room. Solvay-san closed the door, confused. So he could make that kind of voice as well. How Emperor-like.
I gazed at his feet in daze while lying flat on the grass. I didn’t want to talk to him if possible, but I couldn’t move my body anymore.
I didn’t want to move. I couldn’t move. I will sleep here today. It would be great if someone carried over a thin blanket to me.
I was feeling so sensitive all over my body, that if I moved ever so slightly, a moan would slip out. I finally became a pervert. This was a first for me, could it be a new illness? The kind where I would become aroused just by moving my body. I wonder if it’s called something like ‘Erotic Mind and Sensitive Skin’ disease.
“Ollie-san, do you have any suppressants?”
Iyuri-san asked me while I was deep in my thoughts. Iyuri-san had a lot of sweat oozing from his forehead while he peered at me with a pained face. Wow, he somehow looked really erotic2. Sure enough, I had turned into a big pervert. To be turned on by His Majesty, I should definitely be restrained with a rope immediately.
Hmm? What did he just say? Suppressants? Why would he mention that?
“Suppre…..sants? Eh? No way, am I in heat? This is my heat?”
“Yes.”
Iyuri-san nodded.
What–––?! No way?! Heat?! Why now?! I mean, this was all because of a heat?! Are you serious?! Well, anyway, I had to take the suppressants! And wasn’t Iyuri-san an alpha…… No, he was a noble alpha, but was that any different from normal alphas? Or was it the same? But he looked like he was enduring a lot, so was he affected? If this continues, will I be attacked? No, I will definitely be attacked.
“In the…… drawer near the…… bed…..”
Just by speaking, my body…! I could feel it!
But it was the first time my heat was like this! I hate it–! I already became such a big pervert that I would definitely get locked up with a life sentence.
Iyuri-san quickly returned inside the room and came back with the suppressants in his hand. He opened the small package and tried to help me take it, but when his hands touched my head at that moment—
“Hyaa!!”
A sweet numbness ran from my head to the very tips of my toes. Gyaa! Was that my voice just now?! Disgusting!
“So–sorry! Why did that strange voice… I will just drink it… myself,” I said.
“How are you going to do that with your hands trembling so much? Just bear with it for a bit.”
Even though I tried to take the medicine, I was told I could not, and was interrupted by his big hands. Give me that medicine! I will take it myself! If you touch me, it will be hard for me! I am in a desperate situation and it was not the time to be playing around!
“Ollie-san, I’m sorry.”
He apologised to me and my back was encircled by his hand.
“Aah!”
Again, that erotic voice––! Wah––! Wah––!
“It’s tough, right? I’m sorry.”
How dare you just say ‘It’s tough’?! Whenever you touched me, I would get aroused, I would get horny, and the worst part was that I would start craving for something more. Since when was a heat so scary?!
I somehow took the suppressants, but I still couldn’t calm down like always.
“Huu– hot… huu…hmm…”
My belly felt tingly–! My lower body felt weird–!
“Your–Your Majesty… I already… haa… feel better, so… it’s okay. Just get away from me… hmm…”
If this went on for any longer, I would get attacked by Iyuri-san! I beg you, please go away! Aaah–! This squirmy feeling, it’s infuriating!
I tried my best to curl myself up and keep still while waiting for the medicine to work. But it was so difficult. Let’s chant nembutsu3.
……………
It’s impossible. It’s so difficult to breathe.
At that moment, Iyuri-san held me in his arms. My body twitched in shock with just this.
“Hiyaaa!!”
Everything before my eyes flashed white. Bastard, what are you doing to me!?
“Please forgive me, I do not want to be hated by you. But it is very dangerous to leave you in this state.”
He said with his brows furrowed in determination and his face full of distress.
Wasn’t it more dangerous to be left alone with you in this state?! Ah, maybe he was put off by me when he saw me in this foolish state, but still decided to help? If that’s the case, then I felt guilty.
Iyuri-san carried me into the room through the glass doors, closed the door and drew the curtains. The room turned dim. Why did you draw the curtains?
“I’m sorry, you can scold me after this. It’s okay even if you hit or kick me.”
He wiped the sweat off my forehead as if petting me with his big hands, and apologised with his straightforward eyes. Scold? What for?? Hit or kick?
Then, he gently lowered me onto my bed, face up.
“…I’m sorry,” he apologised again.
Why are you apologising? I thought strangely absentmindedly, when his handsome face suddenly came close and our lips overlapped.
