—

The next day, Sera visited the Star Palace at the same time of the day.

And there she found Helios, standing in front of the palace as if he had been waiting for her.

“Miss Popo.”

Noticing Sera’s arrival first, Helios greeted her.

Sera maintained her composure throughout the carriage ride, but she couldn’t help but recall what had happened yesterday once their eyes met.

The confession, the embrace, and… on the cool, breezy terrace… the light kiss on her forehead.

Fragments of memories that had blurred the line between dream and reality and kept her tossing and turning all night.

“What are you thinking about?”

Helios walked over to Sera, breaking her trance.

Meeting his gaze, which was much more affectionate than usual, Sera couldn’t hide her inner thoughts.

“I can’t quite believe what happened last night.”

Carefully and with a hint of doubt in her eyes, Sera looked at Helios, questioning whether all those events from the previous night were real.

To reassure her, Helios wore a gentle smile.

“I couldn’t help but think that it might have been a dream, too.”

After confirming that what happened last night was real, he conveyed that he felt the same way.

With a lightened heart, Sera chuckled.

“I’m glad. It’s not just me.”

Sera and Helios locked eyes.

Their shared laughter was enough to make them momentarily look away from each other, not conscious of any judgment from onlookers.

“Did you sleep well last night? You must have arrived home late. Aren’t you tired now?”

Helios inquired, observing Sera’s complexion.

She had spent quite some time lying in bed with her eyes closed, and despite her heart fluttering with excitement, she had woken up earlier than usual. However, her steps to the palace were lighter than on any other day.

“Not at all. And what about you, Your Majesty?”

“I’m fine too. I’ve just been waiting for you to arrive, Miss Popo.”

At Helios’s sincere response, Sera’s face turned as red as the surrounding autumn leaves.

However, the person casually uttering such brazen lines showed no change in his expression. After all, he was good at keeping his features schooled.

“Well then… shall we go? The little ones will be delighted to know that you’ve come today.”

Helios smiled sweetly, his eyes crinkling up to crescent moons.

Seeing his expression alone, it was clear that he had the strong impulse to hold her hand now, but there were too many eyes on them.

Amidst the mix of excitement and regret, Sera and Helios entered the Star Palace where Rosé and Ferre were.

“Heli Oppa? Sera?”

“Hyung and Sera?”

“The two of them came together?”

“We didn’t hear that Sera’s coming today!”

Rosé and Ferre’s eyes widened at the surprise appearance of Helios and Sera.

When Sera smiled and waved her hand to say hello, both of them leaped off the bed as if they had planned it, clad in white pajamas.

“Sera! Did you come to see me and Ferre?”

“But you didn’t tell us you were coming today!”

As the children clung to her waist like puppies, their faces pressed into her skirt, they bombarded her with nuzzles.

“But how did you come today?”

“Yeah, you didn’t tell us yesterday!”

“His Majesty asked if I wanted to come again.”

Chins propped up now, the twins looked up at her to meet her gaze as she stroked their heads.

“Heli Hyung did?”

“Oppa did?”

Rosé and Ferre tilted their heads to the side.

Then, with narrowed eyes, they looked alternately between Helios and Sera.

It was impossible to guess what had happened between the two of them last night, so they were mainly questioning why such important news hadn’t been shared yesterday.

Feeling a twinge of guilt for nothing, Sera and Helios exchanged glances and cleared their throats awkwardly.

“Well still, we’re glad Sera came!”

“Yeah. Thank you Hyung for telling Sera to come visit!.”

Thinking it was just a trivial matter, Rosé and Ferre smiled and delved into the space between Sera and Helios.

They each grabbed an arm and pulled the two, causing the chandelier and curtains on the ceiling to sway anxiously.

“It’s their mana manifestation.”

Now, even the slightest tremor of objects made mages suspect it was the twins’ mana manifestation, and they quickly adapted.

When Roward tapped the floor lightly with his long staff, the chandelier stopped moving as if it were lying.

And when Araella reached her hand toward the window with a staff, the curtains stopped moving as if it had been a passing illusion.

“It’s fascinating no matter how many times I see it.”

“Yeah, we didn’t get like this even when we used magic.”

“That’s right. You even told us not to use it properly until we receive proper lessons.”

Rosé and Ferre whispered to each other about how amazing Roward and Araella’s magic was.

Amidst their voices, Helios, who read their eagerness to use magic as soon as possible, scooped the twins up into his arms in a flash.

Since the incident where they caused a major accident with Sera, they hadn’t used magic on their own even once, so there was much anticipation.

“How much longer will this phenomenon last?”

Helios asked the mages as he placed Rosé and Ferre on the bed.

Roward and Araella looked around the room as if estimating the mana manifestation, then replied.

“It seems like it will end within two days. The frequency has decreased significantly since this morning, and the intensity has also weakened.”

Rosé and Ferre finally heard the news that they would be able to attend magic lessons, and it seemed like music to their ears. They jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and cheering.

Sera and Helios were taken aback and reached out to the children simultaneously, trying to calm them down.

Their hands moved in the same direction, brushing against each other.

Helios and Sera’s eyes met at the same time.

“Ah.”

“Oh.”
