After that, the situation went smoothly. The patrol officers began to clean up the mess. They blew the whistle and led the people to move in line.
I'm still worried about Bernadetta, she's still motionless and hasn't regained consciousness. Richard was carrying the little girl on his shoulders.
“When will Bernadetta wake up?”
I asked, Richard raised his chin and signaled me.
“You should look back.”
Only then did I turn around and see an extremely familiar face. His face was red and he was breathing heavily as if he had just run at full speed.
That was Vittorio, the new captain of the Knights of the White Rose Cross. He took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“How did the royal concubine get out?”
His voice was expressionless, making it difficult for me to guess his emotions.
I took a step back, overwhelmed by Vittorio's aura. I asked him carefully.
“Did you call the Sheriff?”
Vittorio nodded. But at that time, I saw the Police Chiefs questioning the stall owner.
"The shop owner is not at fault. Why did you do that?"
Vittorio glanced at them, then called a Police Chief over to talk. Then, he answered me.
“Chủ quán đó bị phạt vì hoạt động kinh doanh không có giấy phép. Mọi hoạt động thương mại không được cấp phép đều bị nghiêm cấm.”
“But, but… this is a festival.”
However, Vittorio seems to have no intention of making any concessions on that issue. He is truly a person without any flexibility.
“Besides, why are you out here?”
I asked in an exasperated tone, Vittorio raised his eyebrows.
“Isn't it for the safety of your two Highnesses?”
“Safe, what safety?”
He smirked.
“Lúc đó, Hoàng tử phi đã hỏi tôi điều gì, chẳng phải người đã tự mình cho tôi biết vai trò của người hộ tống là gì sao. Thấy hai vị Điện hạ không có trong Lục Ngọc Cung, tôi đã tự mình đi tìm để đảm bảo an toàn. Không ngờ người lại ở một nơi nguy hiểm như thế này.”
“That, that thing is……”
“Oh my, what does this smell like?”
At that moment, Delfina wrinkled her nose and frowned. I also noticed that, since just now, there has been a strong odor coming from Vittorio. I couldn't bear it, so I frowned slightly.
He turned his head to the side, pulled up his sleeve and sniffed, then took a step back and explained.
“Mùi này… là bất khả kháng. Tôi đã cố gắng giữ gìn vệ sinh tối đa, nhưng ngay từ đầu, đây là kết quả của việc hoàn thành nhiệm vụ mà Hoàng tử phi đã giao.”
The task I assigned? Maybe him?
“Do it yourself…?”
“Vâng, nhờ ơn người. Tuy công việc chưa hoàn thành hết, nhưng tôi sẽ cố gắng kết thúc trong vòng ba ngày như đã nói.”
Actually, he is the leader of the team, so I think he will send his subordinates to work. Hơn nữa, nghiêm túc mà nói, việc hắn nhậm chức là chuyện gần đây, không liên quan gì đến mâu thuẫn giữa Đội Hiệp sĩ Thập tự Hoa hồng Trắng và chúng tôi.
In the end, I felt extremely guilty about that, and became shy.
He also seemed concerned about the smell on his body, so he rubbed his hands on his clothes a few times to clean them.
"The way I look, I can't escort you. Please come this way."
“But, my sister is still…… and Cesar is……”
“Grrrrrr!”
Cesar was still floating in mid-air, confused by everything and growling.
“Cesar, it's okay!”
I quickly approached where he was, looked up and called out. Even though Bernadetta's magic had left him unable to move, he was still in a state of flare-up.
“What now?”
Now, there is a way to calm Cesar down. That's letting him drink my blood. But you can't do that in such a crowded place. Richard walked up to me.
“There is something that needs to be done to calm down His Highness.”
Looks like Richard knows how. I quickly asked him.
"What? Quickly tell me!"
"Kiss."
"Huh?"
I didn't immediately understand what he meant, so I tilted my head. Richard added, as if to explain.
“Now I will take His Highness to the ground, you quickly go up and kiss him.”
“What, what?”
Faced with this unreasonable suggestion, I stood rooted to the spot. Looking at Richard's serious expression, he didn't seem to be joking at all.
“Why, why that?”
I tried to ask in a roundabout way, avoiding using the embarrassing word "kiss." Richard asked me again, looking puzzled.
"Why? Isn't that the forte of humans?"
"Huh?"
At this time, he spoke to me with doubt.
“That reproductive act.”
"Not!"
I shouted loudly at that absurd statement. Reproductive behavior? Although he said it coldly, thinking back, it was a very baseless statement. However, Richard is very stubborn.
“There's no time left, I'll bring His Highness down, please prepare now.”
“Yes, prepare what……”
But before he could finish his sentence, he swung his staff. Cesar landed lightly, like a falling feather.
“Grrrrrrrrrr……”
The surrounding area was still chaotic with sirens and screams from the Police Chief, and everyone's boos. Therefore, Cesar was also extremely stressed.
“Come on, hurry up!”
Richard pushed me towards Cesar. Of course, I need to appease Cesar right now, but suddenly asking me to kiss him. Even in a crowded place like this. I hesitantly stepped forward.
“Ce, Cesar……”
When I called his name, his body twitched slightly. I looked at Richard again. He raised his chin and told me to do it quickly. Could it be that what he said wasn't true?
“Cesar.”
When I called him again, he looked at me. That look in her eyes is hard to describe. As if filled with murderous intent and longing for something, it made me shiver in fear.
I slowly approached him. Is it really okay for Cesar to kiss him? I'm not sure myself. But Richard's words were never wrong. He is a famous magician.
Thinking about what I was about to do, I became even more nervous and had to swallow my saliva. The distance between us is very close. He growled softly in his throat. I had only one goal in mind, which was to put my lips on it.
So I stood on my tiptoes, somewhat suddenly wrapped my arms around Cesar's neck, closed my eyes tightly and placed my lips on his.
Chut
, a small sound when skin touches skin.
Is this enough? I carefully removed my face and looked into his eyes. My heart was pounding, worried about how he would react to me suddenly kissing him. His exhaled breath was so hot right now.
A small fire flared up in Cesar's eyes. Before I could realize what it was, he approached me. A quick and strong stream of air came, causing my shoulders to automatically retract.
I was unconsciously scared and had to step back. But Cesar grabbed my arm, holding me back.
“Ce…”
I quickly opened my mouth to call his name, and at that moment, the invasion began. At first, it slowly tickled the inside of my mouth. Their lips touched hotly. His tongue slid across the sensitive and delicate skin inside the roof of his mouth. The feeling was ticklish, sticky, and hot at the same time, making it impossible for me to distinguish whether it was good or bad. Feelings that cannot be expressed in words gradually took over me. Starting from our lips touching, spreading down to my chest and gradually spreading throughout my body, a feeling was so strange and wrong that I had to close my eyes tightly.
“Sigh……”
When I finally left my lips, I was able to exhale the breath I had been holding for so long. I carefully opened my eyes and looked at Cesar. His red eyes, filled with heat. I realized what it was. Perhaps, I am also looking at Cesar with those eyes.
"Lace."
At that time, Cesar softly called my name.
"……YES."
I replied to him. Perhaps because I was aware that I had just done something extremely embarrassing in public, my heart beat too hard. I was worried that the distance between us was so close that he could hear this intense heartbeat.
“Now, are you better now?”
I asked him carefully. Instead of answering, Cesar put his lips on my cheek. Once to the left, then again to the right.
Then a whistle rang out from somewhere. I turned around and saw everyone looking at us.
“What a beautiful couple!”
“Young people are so enthusiastic!”
I was startled and struggled, but Cesar hugged me tightly, with no intention of letting go.
At that moment, I suddenly realized a belated truth. The growl no longer came from Cesar's mouth.
