84 – Sun and Moon (5)

I was bewildered by the unexpected emperor, but it was not something I couldn’t understand.

The emperor collapsed from dizziness while congratulating him for what had happened at the reception. Then he understood if it was Hwangmyeong for what he hadn’t done.

But is it really necessary to attend? It seemed that we had other intentions, but we, who were stepping on the land of the empire, had no right to reject the emperor.

“I will honor the emperor.”

Once again, bowing his head in line with the lady who responded with courtesy, the knight opened his mouth as he rolled up the scroll with the emperor’s name written on it.

“A carriage will come to pick you up tomorrow morning. You can get on the carriage and attend the palace.”

From now on, it wasn’t Hwangmyeong, it was the content he was going to deliver, so I got up on my knees like a young lady.

“Yes, thank you.”

After expressing gratitude on behalf of the lady who was kneeling, he hurriedly left with the face of a busy office worker with a lot of work to do. It seems that Hwangmyeong is not only conveying it to us.

As the sound of the ironclad, which had been heard every time the knight moved, faded away, Ms. Ruitena, who had been standing by the door holding her breath, collapsed into her seat.

“As soon as I opened the door, I was surprised to see a golden armor protruding… By the way, attendance at the palace must be because the butler collapsed the other day, right?”

“I will. I didn’t expect you to come this early, though.”

Whatever happened that day, the young lady nodded her head and agreed with her. I couldn’t bear the curiosity that arose from the conflict between the two of them and my thoughts.

“I just fell down, did something big happen?”

As soon as the words were finished, the two eyes that came back to me opened their mouths saying with their eyes that it was absurd.

“…It’s not a big deal, but do you know how worried I was? And when you collapsed, I excused myself in front of His Majesty, and I came out in the middle of the entrance ceremony and dragged her to my room. Everyone was staring at us, but I was really embarrassed.”

“That’s right, what a mess it was then! As soon as the butler collapsed, the young lady ran to the butler’s side, despite His Majesty’s presence. I finally got to my room when it was over.”

“No one else, no one else, collapsed without any warning in front of the emperor. How embarrassed the people there must have been. And since our family butler collapsed helplessly, no one could speak for a while.”

When she came to her senses, she remembered vivid tear marks on the corners of her eyes. Who would have known I would fall like that.

“Thinking back, I think I was so worried at that time. If I had known you were so lively, I wouldn’t have cried.”

I smiled at the young lady who didn’t let go of the sleeve she was holding on to while she was uttering vicious language. When I put the other hand on the hand holding the sleeve of her dress, the corner of the girl’s mouth went up.

“…Don’t sneak up on me, idiot.”

You can’t be honest with your mouth. As I tried to hit her resting hand, her eyes slowly rose.

…You’re too honest, my lady. In the end, without being able to lift her hand, I listened to Mr. Ruy Tena’s words.

“Anyway, His Majesty said that he would do congratulations for the ball later, and left after saying words of encouragement to those who remained. So I thought he would be called separately, but I didn’t know he would come so soon.”

In addition to the fame of the butler of the Taurus family, what happened in front of the invisible emperor’s eyes seemed to have a bigger impact than expected. I felt sorry for doubting the imperial family earlier.

“First of all, I eat dinner and think about it. I should also listen to what the butler heard from the fairy.”

I decided to follow Mr. Ruitena’s words after summarizing the situation.

Her Louis Tena and I had a well-prepared dinner and talked about her and her story. About being a child of the moon, and why you need to drink blood. As soon as we talked about the correct names and all of them, the atmosphere became heavy.

“Not being able to have children…It’s a pity. But they say they have a solution now, but thinking of the pain they’ve been through… It’s bittersweet.”

I nodded my head spontaneously at Ruitena-san’s words. Everyone has a sense of compassion and pity for others. All of us here continued our meal with a mixed heart, thinking of the pain they must have suffered.

The young lady didn’t say anything, ate a small meal, then lay down on the sofa and stared at my face with empty eyes.

The finale is Mr. Rui Tena, who entrusted her young lady to me, saying that she would do it herself. She finally sat down near the girl’s bedside, lifted her girl’s head slightly, and gave her the lap pillow she had just done.

The lady who was lying on her side turned her head to look up at me, and her mouth slowly opened.

“…It all happened because of me. If I had given you the right name, there would be no blood you didn’t want to drink, no need to drink, no guilt for biting my throat.”

She’s not the right name, the lady who gave her the star’s name couldn’t get over her guilt. She often couldn’t see a single tear she had cried, but her trembling voice was unbearable.

She felt the girl’s hand tremble as she slowly raised her hand to caress her cheek.

“But she, lady, if she hadn’t given me a name, she might have been dumb all along.”

If she had dictated the conversations she had with the young lady in her notebook, there would have been dozens of notebooks given to her by the owner of the house.

“…Just dumb. It’s nothing compared to what’s happened so far.”

My face naturally wrinkled at the lady’s words.

“The young lady has never been mute, so you don’t know, but how frustrating it was for the person involved. You have to correct your handwriting so that others can understand it, and use hand gestures, foot gestures, and even gestures for those who can’t read to make them understand. “

People created language to communicate with each other. Not being able to use half of the means available for voice and writing was like losing half of one’s life.

Speech is half of it, but it is a reality where you have to be educated to express what you have heard and grown up with differently from other people. You have to learn to write and learn sign language to communicate.

Naturally, unlike ordinary people who do not spend time, it is a story that you have to spend your time learning and learning for your own survival and communication until you make it your own.

“Do you remember the days when I couldn’t speak? When the lady dragged me around and played different games each time, I couldn’t bear to say no. Even if I wanted to stop, it was difficult when I was dragged around.”

“…I was fun…Was it…?”

The voice was trembling like before, but the empty eyes returned to life. He tidied up his bangs, which he didn’t even pay attention to because he was looking up at me.

“It was fun. But do you remember what I was like back then?”

“I was skinny like a branch…”

“The lady literally dragged me around like she was swinging a tree branch. It was hard work for a child who had no physical strength. If I went back to those days now, I would have run away.”

“What are you talking about, really.”

A girl pinching the cheek she was stroking. It was slightly painful, but when I saw her return as usual and smiled, she blankly looked at my face and muttered.

“…You don’t even hate me? It’s all because of me.”

“I told you before. Thanks to the lady, I can talk like this, and thanks to the lady who picked it up, I can be by your side like this. How can I hate myself for only accepting it from the lady? Thank you for being so.”

“Haah … It’s annoying.”

He covered his face with his hands as he let out a deep lamentation, but his ears, which he couldn’t bear to cover, turned red. I tried to touch her ear, but stopped because it was a sensitive area.

‘If you lay your hand on the lady, you’ll know, right?’

I heard the butler’s words faintly in my head, giving me goosebumps.

A little after 10 a.M. The next day, when I heard that the carriage sent by the imperial family had arrived, I came out and saw a red two-headed carriage with two golden drakes tied to it, or rather, a two-headed dragon carriage. Was waiting

I hear it’s a carriage…!

I thought it was a carriage…!

Nothing has changed even if I resented the article that came to me yesterday.

We boarded the dragon carriage and found our own seat after a long time. Even though it was a ride provided by the imperial family, the corner of her mouth did not go down as she was wearing a decent navy blue suit and skirt.

“Are you that good?”

“It’s because it’s my first time riding the Lee Doo-yong car. I heard that only those invited by the imperial family can ride it.”

The lady who told her lies without spitting in her mouth looked at her window as she hummed. Every time this dragon carriage passed through the capital, other people’s eyes focused on it.

Unlike the young lady with no tension, cold sweat ran down my back. She hoped that the reason for attending would be to congratulate her on what she could not do at her entrance ceremony.

“Come to think of it, it’s been a while since you drank blood, right?”

He took out the fruit knife he always carried with him from his pocket and ate it. As I mentioned yesterday, the reason for her vampirism was her own fault, and the lady’s eyes were shining today as she felt responsible.

She looked as if she wasn’t going to say no.

I couldn’t resist her twinkling eyes and accepted it. And if she drank the blood to increase the retention of her name, she wondered if she would be able to withstand the emperor differently than before.

By the way, the lady’s transition showed a different movement than usual.

Unlike usual when he drew her palm, he drew a long vertical line on her index finger, and her fresh blood flowed out along her sword mark. The expression of the superstitious girl with her index finger… It was her face with a lot of dark thoughts.

“Come on, drink.”

“… Girl? Why not her palm… Her fingers…”

“Are you going to drip blood on the Yiduyong car given by the imperial family?”

Her hands, raised high, reached the knees of the lady sitting on her couch. The fresh blood that flowed on her finger turned into droplets of blood and before it dripped, I knelt down to her knees and put my index finger in her mouth.

As much as he drew deeply, the sweet scent of blood spread in his mouth from the wound he had inserted all the way to the end. For a while, as he stroked his hair with the other hand, he felt like a dog like the last time.

“Right, right…”

Unlike the young lady who gives off a satisfied smile, my face gradually gets hotter. Too shy to make eye contact with her, he even closed her eyes and licked her fingers until the blood stopped.

He often scratched the tongue or roof of his mouth with his inserted fingers, or fidgeted with his teeth starting with his molars.

In the past, I used to get tickled a lot, but I felt like I was the only one who became an idiot.

After licking for several minutes and not feeling the taste of blood, I took her mouth off and wiped it with a handkerchief, when I heard the lady’s voice.

“It feels like I’ve tried tongue-in-cheek kisses from novels with my fingers.”

I also remembered the scene that came out while reading a novel that was a little erotic, but I had no choice but to say something.

“…Lady…In the dragon carriage given by the imperial family…”

“How is it, no one is watching.”

I was at a loss for words at the lady’s attitude as she confidently looked over her wiped fingers.

…No one was here to stop the young lady.

I arrived at the imperial palace by a dragon truck that had traveled for over an hour. And, following the guidance of the knights wearing the same armor as the knights who had visited the two yesterday, numerous knights in the Grand Hall, the heart of the palace, opened the way to the throne.

As we followed the Teojun Road, the emperor, who was sitting on a high throne, threw off his face and stood up to greet the two.

“Welcome, Europa and Sirius.”

“Meet the brilliant sun of the Empire.”

The emperor, who knelt down and stepped in front of the two in full respect, looked down at Sirius in silence. Unlike the last time, he didn’t collapse, and he gave a subtle smile and sat back on the throne.

“Raise your head. The reason I asked you to come here is not to punish you, so don’t lower your head like a criminal.”

Unlike the bright greeting thrown earlier, the appearance of exuding a sense of coercion was the image of the emperor itself supported by a heavy and dignified voice, as if to prove the weight of the imperial crown he wrote.

“I will follow Your Majesty’s word.”

The two answered if they did not succumb to the intimidation and maintained their composure. The two of them knelt and raised their heads. The emperor nodded as if he liked it and continued.

“The reason I called you…”

“Abama! Is that man the butler of the Taurus family?”

A lot of high-pitched voices came from behind the two kneeling. A young girl of about 10 years old, with a sun-colored ponytail like the emperor’s hair, saw him and called him daddy and appeared in the hall.

Placing his arms across his throne and stroking his forehead, the emperor continued his interrupted words.

“…Simply I was interested in you, and I called to congratulate you, but my daughter said she was interested in you, no, you.”

The first princess of the empire, Valeria Solar, stepped into her hall with her majestic steps and stared at Sirius, who was busy hiding her embarrassed expression.

“Hmm…Hmm…The butler of the Taurus family is so strong, I’d like to see it. Sebas.”

As I called her name and snapped her fingers, one of the numerous knights in the hall with a deep helmet stood next to her.

“Let’s compete. This is the order of the 1st princess.”

The brawny young tyrant’s command has fallen to the knights named Sirius and Sebas.
