The two of them had an early morning.

As usual, Kalcion got up before the sun came up and went to training, and Selina woke up slowly at the sight of him getting up. She usually opened her eyes when sunlight shone through the curtains.

Today, she woke up much earlier than that, almost at the same time as Kalcion. It was because of the feeling of her lips being touched.

Even when she fell asleep, she woke up in shock. Last night, she was drowning in the atmosphere and repeated a few kisses, but she was still far from getting used to it. In addition, the sensation of touching his lips was still unfamiliar.

Why was he overlapping their lips as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning?

As he said, was he doing everything that a real lover would do, to get used to it? Kalcion did not leave the bed even after kissing her. Meanwhile, the sun grew brighter and brighter.

Even though her eyelashes trembled under the sunlight, Selina deliberately pressed her eyelids shut. Her eyes were trying to open on their own, but she persevered.

‘Hurry up and get out of here.’

If it were normal, she would just wake up with her eyes open. She would, but from last night’s events to the morning kiss… She was not confident to seeing his face. Meanwhile, Kalcion must have noticed that she pretended to be sleeping. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have felt that staring gaze.

The trouble was that she fell asleep with her face close enough to rub her nose on his. If she had slept on his shoulder, she would pretend to have a sleeping habit of burying her head.

No, her sleeping position was not the problem. In fact, it was because of Kalcion. This was because the people who would usually make the bed without even knowing if she was going out were staring at her tenaciously enough to wake her up today.

He would pretend he didn’t know that Selina was awake, but she still didn’t know why he’s holding on like this. While this continued, she was putting more and more strain on her body and started to ache here and there.

Her inhalation and exhalation rattled. Then, a slight snort reached the tip of her nose.

She couldn’t stand the tickling anymore, and just before burying her face in the blanket…

“Good morning.”

His lips touched her forehead with a soft voice.

Although she thought that maybe she should never meet his lips, it was such a refreshing and light touch that she became resentful of herself. The embarrassment would be evident on her face. It seemed that all the red color all over her body was pulled on her face.

Even if she opened her eyes, she couldn’t see it because it was on her face, while when she closed her eyes, the dark vision was stuffy.

As she was contemplating one way or another, there was a sign that Kalcion had left the bed. Selina opened her eyes only then, but his figure had already disappeared from the bed. He was very fast in the morning.

It was only when there was a sound of running water inside the bathroom that she relaxed her body and rolled the blanket over her body.

“Uhhh…”

Who was the one who was trembling from fear, rather than dying or living, before she fell asleep yesterday?

‘It’s unlike me, what’s going on?’

With the original Selina, a kiss or two that touched her body parts would not unnerve her, and she would settle the situation coldly. So now, she couldn’t understand why she was blushing red and, at the very least, why she was expecting their lips never to touch again.

Perhaps because her world had changed, the strange phenomena that could not be helped even by her own would often occur.

‘Get yourself together…!’

There were many cases in which she became too invested in the role — Except for her sleeping hours, she spends almost every moment trying to understand her role, and when she’s with her partner — there was an emotional exchange as well.

She would be wiped away the moment she thought that ‘emotions sprouted.’

Selina was an excellent listener to her seniors. Even though she shook a few times, she was always centered like a sword. Her roles had different weights then and now. Because she didn’t just act in front of the camera, she had to act every moment she opened her eyes.

‘I’m deceiving myself now… it’s absolutely not from my heart. This is a temporary sway, and I can get over it soon once the work ends.’

There was no need to blush like this and try to slow down her heartbeat. It was because these were not her ‘real’ feelings. After this long play was over, it would be an illusion that would disappear together.

…Yet Selina could not get out of the blanket until Kalcion left for the training ground.

“Good morning, Your Excellency!”

Today, a loud voice filled the training ground.

Kalcion, with a sword, stood at the center like a fish that slowly cut through the water. He usually nodded his head or simply replied “Yes,” and immediately ordered, “Start training.” However, today’s Kalcion was a little different from usual. He said nothing when he was greeted.

With his sword stuck to the floor like a cane, he stared at the toes of the members of the guard. The owner of the toes, who received his fervent gaze, became increasingly tense.

‘What did I do wrong?’

‘What’s wrong with my shoes?’

‘Is my standing posture a problem?’

‘Did I do anything?’

‘Is my existence just a problem?’

Even though they asked for help with earnest eyes everywhere, of course, no one knew the answer. The guards, who were frightened, could not bear the pressure and wanted to apologize first though Kalcion’s mouth opened.

“Um, good morning.”

“…What?”

The guards were frozen at the same time. Without knowing it, they asked a stupid question that they should never ask.

While he gasped and shut his mouth at the question that leaked out as if his breath had escaped, it was too late. Today’s training would be death. As he closed his eyes tightly, there was no scream that was supposed to come strangely, and it was silent.

“….?”

The members of the guards, who glanced at Kalcion, felt their breath suffocate.

This time, he, who was staring blankly at the tree trunk, suddenly smiled. At that, the guards were frightened as if a ghost had sat on the tree trunk. What the hell was in that tree trunk…?

“…Excuse me, Your Excellency?”

“Ah.”

They were afraid that his soul would be stolen by the tree trunk, so they called out carefully, and then the flash returned to his eyes like a person waking up.

“Begin march.”

He had now returned to the usual Kalcion.

Immediately, the guards began to run in confidence… But, it lasted only for a while. At the same time, they could that the tip of Kalcion’s lips, who was running alongside them while keeping the pace, rose along with his heart rate.

Moments later, when the maids came in, opened the window, and started preparing breakfast, Selina pulled her face out of the blanket.

“Are you awake?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to wash and dress up right away?”

“Okay.”

The maids moved mechanically.

As one person cleaned the room, another person brought the toiletries while another person set the table and mirror. It was easy even if she didn’t give directions or consult with each other about who would do what.

As their daily routines repeat themselves, they would have to get used to the division of roles. Likewise, their faces began to get vivid in Selina’s eyes. Because of the subtle position of a maid and a commoner lover, she didn’t intentionally be kind as she did to Juna.

She didn’t know their names, although she wouldn’t find out in the future either.

Nevertheless, even if no one said anything, she could feel Juna’s emptiness. There were several repeated moments when they paused, thinking that Juna was supposed to be doing what they were supposed to.

“Is there any news from Juna?”

Juna was supposedly ostensibly “running away” from overwork. The maids glanced at each other and shook their heads.

“Not…yet.”

“Juna doesn’t have anyone she contacted or close friends with… right?”

“She doesn’t…”

The maids could not lie, and smiled vaguely and affirmed.

The master’s favor made the servant’s breath stronger. Since she had been holding out as Selina’s closest aide, it was apparent how important Juna must have been.

Selina clicked her tongue and wiped her from her head.

Regardless, Juna was not found just by thinking. Even at this moment, Kalcion’s investigators would be chasing after her. First, she has to wait.

Count Orlen was shot by an arrow. It was not an invisible damage such as bullying or swearing from behind, but an incident directly related to life. In the future, the situation would quickly turn in either direction. Witnesses against Lirell and Rosaline’s lobbying are relatively narrow, and it meant that Juna was not that important.

Selina relaxed her mind and looked into the mirror.

She would wait for the time being unless she hears the progress about Count Orlen or someone reaches out first.

“Should I do your hair for training today too?”

When they finished her basic makeup, the maid asked through the mirror.

Usually, Kalcion did personal training with her before sunrise. He did his training with her when she came out early after sunrise and watched over the guard’s training. If sometimes she came out late, it would go the other way around.

In the beginning, when he woke up, Selina tried to get up and go out too though it was not a human thing to do, so she gave up.

In addition to that, when she went out with eye boogers at dawn and wielded her sword, rumors circulated that ‘She is not a lover but a hidden agent,’ so she at least had to dress up as a lover and went out.

The maids who formally asked if it would be the same today as usual stopped their hands and glanced back at her, who gave no response.

“Why is your face suddenly red?”

Selina was restless as she suddenly turned red, as if summer had arrived in the room.
