—
Haah.
Sera let out a rough breath and opened her eyes.
A cozy bed and a ceiling decorated with splendid paintings came into view, and before she could grasp the situation, a sweet voice reached her ears.
“Sera.”
Helios, with affectionate eyes, was sitting on the bed looking at her.
“Why are you so startled? Was it that nightmare again?”
“Huh?”
“You said you sometimes dream about that demon.”
“A dream?”
Helios leaned in to brush away the sweaty hair from her forehead.
His gaze, full of boundless worry and love, calmly met hers.
But she was sure she had just been with Belzebuth.
Confused by the situation yet feeling his gentle touch, Sera looked around. The luxurious yet familiar space was undoubtedly the imperial palace.
“Heli.”
Sera sat up and gently stroked his hand, which was caressing her cheek.
Intent on confirming his eye color, she looked at him.
His purple eyes, not red, were gazing back at her.
It was the usual look in his eyes.
Not Belzebuth’s chilling red eyes.
It felt too vivid to be a dream. But at the same time, Sera couldn’t distinguish what was real and what was a dream, as her memories were all jumbled up.
“What happened to Belzebuth?”
“Belzebuth?”
“Yes! I was trying to seal him, but the sealing wasn’t completed yet. And then you came into my dream…”
Before Sera could finish her sentence, Helios laughed lightly. He gently pointed at the area around Sera’s heart.
“You sealed him half a year ago. Right here.”
Speaking casually, Helios’s eyes crinkled with a smile.
“So the sealing was successful?”
“Of course. If it had failed, neither of us would be here.”
Confused by Helios’s words, Sera shook her head back and forth.
She still couldn’t discern whether it was reality or a dream.
Seeing her worried expression, Helios examined her closely before asking seriously.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Take some deep breaths. You might be just confused by the nightmare.”
After a moment of contemplation, Sera took a deep breath in and out.
Strangely, as time passed, the unsettling feelings she initially felt began to calm down.
She couldn’t understand why she had thought she was with Belzebuth just moments ago.
“Why am I here? This is the imperial palace, isn’t it? If I’ve sealed the demon, there’s no reason for me to be here anymore…”
Helios looked puzzled, as if wondering why she was acting this way today.
After a moment of solemn consideration, he carefully pulled Sera’s left hand resting atop the blanket towards him.
“Well, obviously…”
He overlapped their hands and lifted hers to show her. A large and transparent gemstone sparkled in the sunlight filtering through the curtains.
A large diamond ring was placed on Sera’s left ring finger.
My goodness. What’s happening here? Surprised, Sera covered her mouth with one hand and stared at the radiant ring.
“I proposed to you, remember?”
“Proposed…?”
Sera was baffled by Helios’s words, her eyes wide open in astonishment.
Seeing Sera’s reaction, Helios appeared slightly upset as if he was taken aback, and he let out a short sigh as if to grumble.
“Ah. Even I would be upset… You forgot about staying in the palace as the future empress…”
“Your Majesty… really proposed to me…”
The fact that Helios had proposed felt like an unbelievable dream, making Sera chuckle disbelievingly.
Then, to confirm the reality, she lightly pinched her arm.
A tingling pain accompanied by a faint memory of Helios kneeling and offering a ring passed through her mind.
A bewildered smile of joy and astonishment spread across Sera’s face.
Watching her reaction, Helios chuckled, finding her cute. He fondled her hair with a wry smile.
“But Sera, you need to get up soon. There’s a lot to do.”
“Things to do?”
“You said you wanted to look into the academy’s affairs.”
“Oh. Did I say that?”
Sera laughed embarrassingly as her memories slowly came back to her, always a beat late.
Helios once again looked at her as if she was acting really strange today.
Then, with a knock, the door opened.
“Sera!”
“Hyung!”
Rosé and Ferre stood at the door.
Ignoring the maids trying to hold them back, the twins leaped onto Sera’s bed with big smiles.
Was it because of the dream she just had?
The twins, dressed finely and making adorable faces, looked so healthy that Sera stared at them for a long while.
Rosé and Ferre took their places beside her and exhaled deeply.
“Sera, are you going to look at us with that face again?”
“Me and Ferre are fine, you know?”
“Stop worrying so much.”
“Sera, it’s time to enjoy only happy things!”
As the children rubbed their cheeks against hers from both sides, Sera unwittingly nodded.
It seemed too perfect to be the future she had dreamed of…
…Which kept making her be so doubtful.
