the day after the wedding. Adrian and Violet decided to go on a honeymoon.

The location was 'Radonia', a maritime city in the southern part of the continent, where a wide coastline continued and there were many wonderful beaches.

In particular, I heard that the sea is so clear and beautiful that you can feel it.

Raphine had been a little nervous since yesterday when she heard the story.

It was because it was the beach where Adrian left alone and died after hearing the news of the marriage between the man and the woman in the original story.

The feeling was new, and something inside of me made me cry.

The fact that he succeeded in connecting Adrian and Violet by changing the original came to a realization.

Violet, too, later realized her love for her Adrian in her original work.

Two people who could not be connected and ended in death, this time happily holding hands and going on a honeymoon.

My heart couldn't help but swell.

Raphine saw off Adrian and Violet, who had come to greet her.

"Go and be careful."

As they cried, Adrian and Violet burst into laughter.

"Look at you crying like a baby. Are you afraid that her sister is going far?"

Violet hugged Raffine affectionately as if she had grown up with her child.

Adrian also said while stroking his youngest brother's hair.

"I'll buy you a souvenir, Raphine."

"Yes, you must buy it."

Seeing Raphine answering her childishly, Adrian and Violet made eye contact and smiled.

"If anyone sees it, I think they will be leaving for at least a month."

Zerkan murmured from behind. The tone was blunt, but the content was sarcastic.

Zer Khan took out her handkerchief and handed it to Raphine.

"Raphine, the two of us have to come back before our wedding anyway, so we'll be back in a week."

"... ... But I am concerned."

Raphine groaned and muttered. Because it was the place where Adrian died in the original story, her heart was shaky.

It seemed that they could not sleep well until the two of them returned safely and without incident.

At Raphine's words, Zerkan smirked, while Violet and Adrian giggled.

Raphine pursed her lips inwardly.

'Chi... ... . Yes, no one will understand me.'

Needless to say, Adrian and Violet were heroes who made a big contribution in the war against the beast.

It's only their parents and Raphine who are worried that something dangerous will happen to the two of them.

Raphine bit her lip and took turns looking at the two of them.

"Still, you have to be vigilant and be careful wherever you are."

"Okay, Raphine."

Adrian and Violet laughed and talked to Raphine until she calmed down.

Eventually, when Raphine calmed down, the carriage with the two of them departed.

The carriage was going to depart from Hwangseong and stop at the Aston Mansion, and then go straight to the destination.

Raphine sighed and turned around. Zerkan followed after him.

"... ... ."

Zerkan was very dissatisfied with Raphine's droopy shoulders.

There's no one else to worry about, how could you care about those two? It's because they don't know how good these two are in battle.

Even the two of them felt unsightly and mean because of Raphine, who even showed tears and was worried.

Unconscious jealousy began to burn in his heart here and there.

"Are you really okay?"

Raphine asked, looking at him sullenly. Zerkan sighed and said.

"Isn't it possible that you couldn't even sleep last night because of your worries?"

Thanks to that, Zerkan was also unable to sleep properly. Raphine, who was lying on the edge of the bed, was constantly tossing and turning, so she was concerned.

Raphine nodded his head.

Zerkan said reluctantly.

"It seems so, so this morning I placed an order for the Knights of Shadow. Follow the two of you."

"really?"

Raphine asked in surprise. The Knights of Shadows were knights under the direct control of the Crown Prince, and no one knew their faces.

They were secretly moving only for the escort of the Crown Prince.

In terms of ability, of course, it was like an institution where the best talents of the empire gathered.

If they followed suit, it seemed that both of them would be safe. It's not that I didn't believe in Violet and Adrian's skills, but I was still worried.

Raphine suddenly began to feel relieved.

"Also. Thank you very much!"

Raphine smiled broadly and stopped while trying to hug Zerkan.

It was because I remembered the actions and words of Zerkan yesterday.

"For the time being, I hope you will refrain from touching yourself in front of people."

Of course, it meant not to touch the tips of your hair when there were no people around.

In the end, Raphine put her hand in the air and patted his arm as if in an invisible hug.

Zerkan looked at Raphine as if she was doing something.

"Oh, you're uncomfortable. I want you to convey only a feeling of gratitude."

Raphine muttered and smiled as if making an excuse and turned around. His hum came out as if he had ever cried.

Zer Khan followed Raffine like that and clenched his fists.

It felt like a huge loss.

'I just said that yesterday... ... .'

To be honest, it was actions and words that were full of impulsivity. Raphine, acting so skillfully, is wild, so I don't know... ... .

Zer Khan said something like that yesterday, and he thought he was a fool.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the intensity of regret grew stronger.

It was because Rafine began to refrain from touching her very much even in front of people.

* * *

"Oh, did you just see it?"

"What?"

"Vision. I couldn't even touch the Crown Prince, I just vaguely stretched out my hand like this and then dropped his arm."

At the small tea party held before Raffine and Zerkan's wedding, the ladies whispered and glanced at the Crown Princess and the couple.

"Oh my goodness... ... ."

"Now it looks like you can't even touch it."

"That... ... Be pitiful."

"I mean. The wedding is just around the corner... ... . Oh my gosh."

Raphine couldn't touch her like before because Zer Khan was uncomfortable with her, but she didn't stop her from acting either.

So it was her choice.

I can't touch her, and I look at her faintly and send only sad eyes.

The effect was very good.

'I'm going to use this method. Then Zerkan wouldn't be uncomfortable, and I would have been at ease.'

To be honest, even Raphine was uncomfortable with Zerkan.

'Her arms were too tight, so it was a bit difficult. How can it be so thick and hard... ... .'

It was a problem because I wanted to keep leaning on it.

Besides, there were many times when I couldn't wake up because of the nice scent when I was close.

She also became more and more greedy as she began to interact.

Sometimes I want to pat my back, I want to touch the back of my head, I want to hug my tight waist, I want to rest my head on my chest, I want to pat my ass... ... .

Anyway, Zerkan had such a great appearance, so this one was also in trouble.

'Yeah, that's great.'

Raphine looked faintly at Zer Khan in the distance and lowered her head. Although she felt regrets over and over again, she continued to brainwash herself, saying it was all right.

'shit.'

However, the real party, Zerkan, was about to die.

It wasn't because of people's eyes. just... ... Somehow, I kept feeling like I was the only one losing.

Anyway, Raphine acts the same... ... .

I can't even see him smiling so close. I couldn't feel the slight weight of her arms wrapped around me. She can't even hear the tickling whispers in her ear.

'I need to talk to Raphine again.'

But how do you say it?

Is it okay to touch in front of people again? Is it okay to touch me when no one is around?

Anywhere is fine, so please touch me... ... ?

Either way, it was weird.

Zerkan took a deep breath.

"Sir, do you have any concerns?"

Percy, who came into the banquet hall just to find Zer Khan, noticed her expression and asked.

"... ... Why are you here?"

Zerkan asked, staring at him as if stabbed in the corner.

"Ah, because of the wedding preparations. I have a few decisions to make. Let's go together for a while."

Zer Khan nodded her head in agreement and looked at Raffine in the distance.

"majesty... ... Black."

Raphine called for Zer Khan with the shape of her mouth, then turned her body and left the banquet hall.

It seems like the acting was roughly wounded, but the acting was definitely right, but strangely, her heart ached. She really felt her heart pound as if she had hurt Raphine.

'Is this normal?'

Zerkan asked himself a question and left the banquet hall with Percy.

* * *

Raphine, who quickly exited her banquet hall with her excuses, headed to her rose room with her maids.

She couldn't even stand next to Zer Khan, so the banquet seemed boring.

In the past, time passed so quickly that it was difficult.

Raphine arrived at her room, changed her clothes with the help of her maids, and sat comfortably on her sofa.

"By the way, Vision. The wedding is just around the corner... ... I'm worried about the rumors that my relationship with Jeon has become estranged. Are you really okay?"

"So. No, what is the Crown Prince so dissatisfied with? I'm going to die of anger."

Olivia and Christine, ignorant of the situation, took the side of Raphine, cursing their faces.
