On the day that Ethan dropped that ‘wolf’ bomb, Reina became fully aware of him.

“As much as you are precious to me, Ethan, my people are precious to me as well. So please don’t go out of control because of them.”

She wasn’t sure just how much of her sincere request Ethan actually understood, but in any case, Ethan’s overprotection had since entered a temporary lull.

Right, well… It was ‘temporary’.

“We may leave now, Milady.”

As Captain Karbon announced that she could take off now, Reina gulped slightly.

‘I mean, I understand that he must have told the knights to guard me because he’s worried about me, but…’

She looked around her perplexedly. Without any exaggeration, she was quite literally being surrounded by a human barrier.

‘This is too much…’

People might think that they were playing human chess or something. However, even the knights on the chessboard wouldn’t go as far as protecting the queen to this extent.

This time though, she didn’t protest against Ethan’s protectiveness because this was a completely different case from what had transpired the other day.

‘The devotees are getting more and more intense by the day, so… I should at least this much.’

Nevertheless, it’s as though she was wearing layers upon layers of clothing during the weather right now. Lines of guard knights composed the defensive wall surrounding her right now, and it felt so suffocating.

“Haa…”

In the end, a sigh leaked through her lips as she felt frustrated. Of course, the cause of this situation did not miss this.

“Are you feeling sick, Reina? Yes, we should just cancel this, too.”

“……”

Really, I’d like to see what’s going on inside this guy’s brain.

As Ethan looked down at Reina with mournful eyes, it’s as if he was begging her to say, ‘Alright, I won’t go’.

“Ethan.”

“Yes. That’s right, we should just cancel it.”

“No. I’ll go to the temple.”

As he was met with a firm declaration, Ethan became visibly sullen.

“Ethan. What I meant to say is that, if I’m surrounded like this—I’m definitely going to trip on something.”

A serious expression cloaked his countenance for a moment. Then, he smiled as though he found a good solution.

“Then I’ll carry you on my back, Reina.”

“…Huh?”

Bewildered, Reina looked up at him with wide eyes, but an even more serious answer was returned to her.

“You know, I’ve been very good at walking ever since I was a child.”

Good grief. What the hell was he saying now? Why was he oh-so-proudly bragging about his proficiency in walking?

“If you’re worried about walking, then don’t worry, Reina. Leave it all up to me.”

As she was just staring at him blankly, Ethan reached up to her face to brush her cheek with his thumb, as though he was removing something from her face.

She was used to the unexpected bouts of skinship now, but thinking that there was really something there, Reina reached up as well and rubbed the part of her cheek that he had touched.

“Ah, is there something on my face?”

“No.”

He answered so confidently. Reina blinked and tilted her head to the side.

Then, he smiled quietly and whispered into her ear.

“It’s just that I wanted to touch your face, Reina.”

“…Huh?”

Dazed as she was, Reina was speechless. Laying a hand over hers, he looked deep into her eyes.

“Can’t I?”

“…I mean, it’s not like you’re not allowed…”

This guy… As soon as they confirmed that they had mutual feelings for each other, he’s yet to stop wrapping her around his little finger.

Just in the world had he been holding back until now…

Turning his head again, he leaned his torso towards her.

His dark, pitch-blank fringe fluttered down over his forehead, slightly covering his sharp eyes. This spectacular sight was for her alone.

“Then, can I keep touching your cheek, Reina?”

Look at this guy, seriously… He’s talking as if he never touched her at all.

You already did it, so go ahead already.

‘Ha. Really though, he’s really using his face as an asset so effectively.’

It’s not like she was thinking about rejecting him, but he already expertly blocked the very possibility of it from the very start before even the ‘n’ from the word ‘no’ could be uttered.

He’s a real pro at this. A pro, I say.

With a slightly firm grip on her hand, he asked again.

“Is that a ‘no’, Reina?”

Fine. Okay. I dunno anymore. Just use that face for whatever you wish, why don’t you.

“Okay, okay. You’re allowed. You can do anything you want, Ethan.”

As he received his desired answer, the corners of his lips tugged up with satisfaction.

“Then, tell me whenever you have a hard time walking. I’ll give you a piggyback ride.”

In the end, with that sly smile of his, Reina was once again wrapped in his little finger.

Shining leisurely amongst the knights, Ethan was practically glowing. It’s as if the sun was shining on him and him alone in this entire world.

“Ethan.”

“Yes, Reina?”

With his eyes cooly and modestly curving up into crescent moons, Ethan smiled at her. Smiling at him softly as well, Reina whispered with a lovely, melodious voice.

“You know, you’re going to die if you do this with another woman, okay? I’m serious.”

Unable to hold back, Ethan burst into laughter just like that. What a juxtaposition it was for her to utter such harsh words with that sweet voice.

“Of course. But Reina, if you’re feeling anxious, you know that you can go ahead and keep me by your side at all times, yes? Then, you’re the only one who’ll be able to see me.”

With a defeated smile, truly feeling as though she had lost, Reina shook her head.

As it turned out, Ethan was not only an impregnable man, but also a talented and highly attractive man who knew exactly how to play to his strengths.
