“So, it seems like there’s a movement within the Imperial Family to establish an academy?”

“It’s not yet confirmed, but that’s the rumor I’ve heard from the imperial mages. It hasn’t been officially announced yet, and there are preliminary preparations…”

“Enough.”

Saruvia interrupted her attendant, who seemed to want to provide additional explanations. The explanation was sufficient, and there was no need to hear more.

“Get out.”

Giving a curt order, Saruvia’s attendant bowed deeply and exited the room.

Alone in the room, Saruvia finally let her displeasure show by twisting the corner of her mouth.

“Are you upset?”

“No. It’s nothing.”

“It doesn’t seem like ‘nothing.’ It’s the face you make when something’s bothering you, isn’t it?”

Mocking in a voice identical to her own, Saruvia’s attendant spoke. Saruvia slowly raised her head.

Her face was reflected in the round mirror on the desk.

Red irises of the same color as her hair emitted a sinister glow as they stared directly at her.

Saruvia, with years of experience, knew how to make Belzebuth give the answer she wanted, no matter what.

In the end, she responded to his annoying reaction with a familiar one and threw Belzebuth a bone.

“The purpose of establishing the magic academy is quite apparent.”

Satisfied with her response, Belzebuth revealed his white teeth in a smile, just like Saruvia.

“It seems the Emperor is plotting this to avoid marrying you.”

It was the expected answer, but Saruvia’s eyebrows still twitched.

When Saruvia responded with a cold snort and no words, Belzebuth, as if holding her, spoke to her again.

“What about that tutor, how is she doing?”

“Miss Sera Popo?”

“Yeah, that Sera Popo!”

For a moment, Saruvia’s expression crumpled, and Belzebuth shouted the name right after.

Taking a long pause, Saruvia thought it over. Then, making eye contact with the reflection in the mirror, she asked.

“Didn’t you tell me that you’d kill her back then? Have you become interested in that woman?”

“Oh… But isn’t the answer obvious? Ever since the day I’ve come to your body, I decided to help you.”

At the mention of that ‘help’, Saruvia let out a sardonic laugh.

The pure days when she believed those words straightforwardly had disappeared entirely due to Belzebuth.

Saruvia tapped the mirror with her black fingernail.

The surface of the mirror seemed to ripple like waves, and her face swayed like water.

“Nothing much has happened. It seems quieter after she quit her job and left the palace.”

“Nothing much?!”

Belzebuth yelled, and the figure in the mirror, which had been moving like a ripple, suddenly froze.

When using her body, Saruvia knew that Belzebuth’s magic was not to be taken lightly unless he himself decided not to use his abilities.

Saruvia looked at Belzebuth with a suspicious gaze.

“Why are you getting angry?”

“Oh… No, I’m not getting angry. It’s just that you keep touching the mirror, so my vision is shaking, that’s all.”

Belzebuth’s voice, trying to play it cool, trembled slightly.

Saruvia had not been told many things by Belzebuth, but after spending a long time together, she could make some guesses.

The fact that Belzebuth, who couldn’t hide his thoughts well from his expressions, was clenching his lips was evidence that he was lying.

And Belzebuth was still pressing his red lips as if chewing on them.

In her mind, an unpleasant dream from the palace suddenly surfaced.

The moment her fangs had pierced Sera’s skin, it had felt so real.

Belzebuth had called it a mere dream, but was it really just that?

Saruvia began to suspect what Belzebuth was hiding.

“Y-Your Majesty! Wait a moment. Please stop now…!”

“Why? We can continue a bit more.”

“Urk… No, please.”

“If it’s because you’re embarrassed, try enduring it a little longer.”

“It’s not that, I…!”

Sera, in her stubborn manner, pushed Helios’s arm away and shouted.

“I’m full!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I must have fed you too much.”

Helios, not realizing it earlier, apologized and took a big, juicy grape from his hand and put it into his own mouth.

It was a clearly regretful gesture.

The large and tempting green grapes that appeared as Helios’s snack were one of Sera’s favorite fruits.

Sera quietly put one grape at a time into her mouth, and as she watched, Helios, at some point, kindly put one grape after another into Sera’s mouth before she could refuse.

Although she felt embarrassed and wanted to resist, Sera accepted the grapes he offered because, on the other hand, she liked it.

When the grapes revealed their thin stems, her stomach was full, and Sera wanted to stop.

However, Helios hadn’t noticed Sera’s signal and kept putting new grapes into her mouth before the last one had disappeared.

“I wanted to keep feeding you because you look so cute while you’re eating.”

Helios explained to Sera with a face that anyone would forgive.

With their gaze locked in relaxedly, and their hands intertwined without either realizing it, Sera had no way to resist.

It took a long time to confess, yet Helios was quick in such situations, making Sera both flustered and delighted.
