“…….”
She let her guards down in front of a kid, whom she thought was thirteen. Carl’s face was so cute that Amelia sometimes hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
“…I had been very rude to a grown-up.”
Amelia lowered her head with a red face. Carlos couldn’t keep up with Amelia’s thoughts. What the hell was she thinking about? Amelia sighed and said.
“Your Majesty, let me tell you first.”
“…….”
“I have no resentment against Your Majesty for what Your Majesty did to me there six years ago.”
“…….”
“Really. How can I resent Your Majesty?”
“But Amelia, I am, so…”
“Did you feel pleasure in holding me?”
“…….”
Carlos could not answer Amelia’s direct question. He just avoided Amelia’s gaze.
“With that in mind, I felt the pleasure of being hugged by Durante. And I mean that in a dirty manner.”
“…You’re not dirty, Amelia.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. If I am not dirty, I have no reason to criticize Your Majesty. Whether you take the drug or not take the drug, it was inevitable. Your Majesty is too good for me to blame you for that.”
“But Amelia, are you really fine? Even if you don’t resent me, obviously…”
“Of course, it’s not that I wasn’t hurt.”
Amelia also had a lot of worries. Durante made Elliot hold her, and forced Carlos to hold her. It’s not that she wasn’t hurt by it. She was ashamed. She shuddered just thinking about that moment.
“But it’s not Your Majesty’s fault.”
“…….”
“Rather, I decided to think that it was fortunate that it hurts.”
“…….”
“I can’t hold on to it and be in pain forever. I will stop hurting now.”
“…….”
“Your Majesty is here.”
Amelia smiled. Carlos realized that it was the smile of the woman he had loved when he was a boy. She looked easygoing, and even seemed happy. Carlos’s face turned red. He was still a boy who was thrilled by Amelia’s glances, gestures, and smiles.
“Amelia.”
“Thank you so much for trying so hard for me.”
Hearing that thanks, Carlos’s emotions surged. Efforts in the past have been rewarded. Carlos couldn’t stand the joy.
Again, Sir Reinkel was right. Either way, he did a great job. He smiled softly, hiding his displeasure. It was then.
“So you can stop trying now.”
“…Yes?”
If it had not been for Amelia’s words, Carlos would never have been happy with a fuller heart.
“Thank you for deliberately making me a candidate for the position of Empress. Thank you for working hard to restore my dignity.”
“…….”
“But, Your Majesty, you have done nothing wrong. So it is not right to risk your whole life to marry me.”
“…….”
“Your Majesty has a better woman…”
“So you want me to look for another woman?”
He tried not to do that, but a sarcastic voice leaked out. The warm atmosphere between the two disappeared, leaving only the air cold as ice.
“…Haa.”
Carlos let out a heavy sigh. Amelia looked at him worriedly.
“Your Majesty.”
“Even if I did, I mean… You mean you don’t know?”
“…What?”
Without answering Carlos, he strode to Amelia, who was sitting across from him. He took her hand and lifted Amelia up. As he took one more step, Amelia took a step back because the distance had grown too close. Then he came closer. They moved like playing tag, and then her back touched the wall.
“Amelia, can’t you just think simply? I like Amelia.”
“…It’s probably just a feeling of guilt. Think about it. I think Your Majesty’s feelings of guilt for me are so great that you have mistaken it for affection.”
Amelia calmly offered the answer, as if it was the expected question. Carlos cried out, unable to contain the surging rage.
“How well do you know my feelings!”
“Your Majesty.”
“Amelia Laszlo! You know my feelings Don’t be ridiculous! If you know, you shouldn’t treat it so lightly!”
Carlos, who had always been so tender, shuddered without reason.
“Guilt? Guilt? Wouldn’t it be great if it was a feeling of guilt? Huh? Amelia, do you really think I did this out of guilt?”
“…….”
“You don’t even know when I started liking you! Without knowing how I was there, standing next to you! You said you liked Sir Reinkel!”
“…….”
“Since when did you know my heart so well? Don’t be ridiculous!”
Carlos shouted as he grabbed her by the shoulders. Tears welled up in the furious golden eyes. It was a desperate cry. Shocked, Amelia saw Carlos’s rationality shattering. Recognizing Amelia’s expression belatedly, Carlos hastily apologized.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I surprised you.”
“…….”
“I’m upset that Amelia doesn’t know how I feel.”
Still, when Amelia’s expression did not change, Carlos bowed his head. His hand fell helplessly from her shoulder.
“Do you hate being by my side?”
Carlos’s voice had no energy. Amelia said as she looked at his face.
“No.”
“…….”
“I was just a little surprised. I can’t believe Your Majesty has liked me even further back.”
“…I had a hunch that you didn’t know, but you really didn’t know anything.”
“Yes, I didn’t know. Had I known…”
“If you had known, Amelia wouldn’t have come to me.”
“Yes. Because I had a fiancé.”
“…I love you so much I could die.”
Carlos smiled bitterly. As Amelia saw this, she felt her heart resonate somewhere. She felt so sorry for this sad man’s heart, so she wanted to embrace him. So she decided to be a little more honest.
“Are you saying that even though I suffered such a thing in front of Your Majesty, you still continued to like me?”
“Yes.”
“Then, is it Your Majesty’s greed to make me Empress and not to atone for past sins?”
Carlos’s heart seemed to sink at the piercing words. As the emperor, there were many ways to pay for her sins. However, having her as the ‘empress’ was of course…
“Yes, it is my greed.”
At Carlos’s words, Amelia put on a disappointed expression. But as soon as she smiled brightly, she began to burst into laughter.
“Amelia!”
With that cheerful smile contrasting with Carlos’ seriousness, Carlos called Amelia’s name as if scolding her. But she didn’t stop laughing at him for a while.
“Is it so grandiose? Or is it funny because it’s a boy’s determination?”
