chapter 32
32 – Hogukgyeong – (4)
I am proud… He is a strong citizen of an undefeated Republic of Korea.
He completed basic education courses leading to elementary, middle and high school, went to an appropriate university, and served in the military. There were no accidents or problems in the process. Of course, there must have been some deviations. But at least the red line wasn’t him.
In other words, the punishment I received in my life was, at best, nothing more than the hawk of love.
Why are you suddenly talking about this?
square square.
The pen moves without rest.
“Grunt.”
White is paper and black is letters.
He writes down alien languages that are not even Korean.
What was copied was the temple of the Imperial State Church.
one week probation.
That was my punishment. No matter how much she appealed, it was useless at how stubborn Lyncia was.
I want to throw away the pen right now, but I can’t. Why? Right next to me, Lynchia is looking at me with eyes like a lioness.
Moving my hands mechanically, I let out a sigh.
“Huh.”
The punishment he received throughout his probation was simply to copy the imperial temple without missing a single word.
After living for over 20 years, what I am doing is a punishment equivalent to an elementary school self-reflection.
I can’t believe I’m getting old and I’m going to use a kkamji. Pride is not a word.

Don’t blink The absurdly simple and easy task of filling the long, yellow paper tightly.
But it’s embarrassingly cumbersome and boring. My hands, which should have been struggling to move all four hours, never got tired. Yes, it is more painful. It’s all thanks to Fried’s body.
“I’m going crazy, really.”
Right. bean.
“Don’t say you’re sick.”
Next to her, Lyncia checked the documents once in a while and repeatedly stamped and stamped them.
It was a job she had to do once a day since she became empress, but since she only uploaded documents carefully selected by the administration for Lyncia, who was still immature, it was okay to film without checking. Still, the way she does her best with all her heart and soul is just like her.
“I’d rather give you a pay cut.”
“That doesn’t work. Fried needs to develop patience and morality.”
Rejecting it with a single knife, Lyncia took a bean stamp.
A solemn expression contrasted with a dainty voice.
That look was both stern and cute.
“In the first place, Fried’s usual behavior is the problem. As a master, I have the responsibility to reform such subordinates.”
That’s not wrong.
But what about the unfortunate I really didn’t mean to.
“It is all a misunderstanding.”
Boom.
“Misunderstanding… … ?”
He hit the seal like a hammer. The wind managed to straighten the inkwell on the table that was about to tip over.
Lynchia trembled for a moment in the hand holding the stamp, then raised her gaze. Those eyes are like those of a beast.
Eventually, he lost his composure and screamed.
“Little! Fried is a pervert! To think that every day is far away and covet a woman!”
“Huh.”
“I heard everything!”
Even if I talk to you, I can’t help it because it’s that situation.
If she told the truth, it’s clear that Cora, who disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the army, will be at a disadvantage. I decided to endure it because I didn’t want to break the future of the boy, no, the girl’s head.
I played with the pen in silence. The phrases of the temple that are written in the middle of the day. Sentences that the saints of the time would have written while cutting their bones. But I didn’t have the willpower to ponder over the meaning of each word.
“Yes.”
How many minutes had passed like that?
Lynchia stretched out her arm to grab the inkwell to sign the last document. However, no matter how much I stretched out, I couldn’t reach the barrel that was sitting on the opposite side of the desk.
Seeing it made me laugh out loud. The way he stretches his dainty arms over there is quite funny.
“Look what!”
“it’s nothing.”
tingle. With a sharp gaze, I turned my eyes to the parchment again.
A few seconds after that, I raised my head again and looked at Lyncia.
“Ugh, ugh.”
Lynchia even tried to hold on to the barrel, but to no avail.
Instead, the table rocked with a rattle, knocking over the inkwell and dripping black ink.
“ah…….”
Lyncia’s expression as she shuddered at that figure was quite exquisite.
“… … Can I help you?”
“I do not need it!”
Lyncia jerked and turned her head. It was an inexorable riotous look.
I said that, but I realized that I couldn’t do it myself, so I drooped my shoulders.
He leaned over me and pouted his mouth.
What I finally came up with is this.
“I hate to say this, but… … Can you help me?”
“yep! That’s His Majesty’s will, so I’ll follow your orders, this protector of the border, Fried!”
“Ugh!”
Lincia stomped her feet as if she was getting hot when she deliberately gave a pretentious answer.
It was quite fun. It feels like playing with my nephew who has a big age gap.
“It was bad, really.”
“sorry.”
Putting aside the pouting Lyncia grunting, she put away the ink.
When I got up, she was sitting on the table, shaking her legs. It looks like a child on a ride.
Lyncia pursed her lips and exhaled air.
“Puuu, I don’t know if Fried is fully reflecting.”
“Even if it looks like this, I am deeply reflecting on it.”
You have to reflect on something to reflect on.
After answering in a dry tone, Lynchia made her eyes crescent-shaped and let out a small breath.
“Anyway, I can’t stop it. I swore to stay by your side, but if you take a second glance at me, I’ll run away.”
“……hahahaha.”
“Shouldn’t a knight’s oath be this light?”
“sorry.”
“Even if you have a hundred mouths, you have nothing to say, this.”
Listening to instruction from a girl who is 10 years older.
It was a very valuable experience.
“And.”
Lynchia hesitated for a moment.
He lowered his head and raised his eyes to mine. Eyes twitched slightly.
“Besides. Sobbing.”
I coughed.
Then he closed his eyes and raised his finger.
“To be a protector of the country and yet sell one eye to another woman, that’s… … . that, that.”
After swallowing for a moment, Lincia looked at me.
The cheeks are strangely reminded.
“Affair, that’s it.”
At those words, I scratched the back of my head.
“Your Majesty, you seem to have trouble with your words.”
“What.”
“I don’t have a spouse, and I don’t have any opposite s*x in mind. So it’s not adultery.”
“Yes… … ?”
“Wouldn’t it be more correct to call me a playboy?”
Goong.
It was the sound of the seal Lyncia was holding falling to the ground.
“I liked… … No women?”
“Yes. There is not.”
Lynchia’s eyes widened.
I kept denying it to reassure her.
“Nothing at all? Really?”
“Not even a speck of dust.”
“……Really?”
“Yes. I can swear.”
Of course, if there is, it’s about the same as Millia, but it’s not that I like it as a member of the opposite s*x, it’s just that I like it because it’s trustworthy and cute.
To begin with, I’m not a playboy like Fried.
“… … okay.”
quiet for a while.
Lynchia shook her head slowly. It seems that he has finally understood it.
But that was my mistake.
She said without a word and wanted to pick up the stamp that had fallen on the ground.
with a bang.
Suddenly, the stamp was thrown at me.
“Oops.”
chin.
Of course, my visual acuity is at the level of a human being.
I grabbed it lightly by reaching out my hand.
“Don’t hold!”
“No, then you’re saying it’s right?”
“Ugh!”
Lyncia, who looked feverish, swung her hand.
“Get out! Get out!”
“No, why are you doing that?”
I can’t understand why you’re angry Is it puberty?
“Get out now!”
I hurried to the door as Lynthia screamed in anger.
But the moment you grab the doorknob.
“Are you really going out?!”
“Yes?”
“You’re on probation!”
What are you looking at me for?
Lyncia’s shaking eyes twisted for an instant.
“Ugh! Just get out!”
Cong.
I decided to just accept the stamp that I picked up and threw away.
It didn’t hurt too much.

“……Huh.”
In the late afternoon, Lyncia Eyren groaned with her nose pressed against the desk in her office.
It’s been like this for an hour already.
It was because my mind was restless and I couldn’t get things done.
Of course, the duties of the empress were limited to very simple tasks that required only a seal or signature.
Lynchia herself knew very well that this was all out of consideration for herself.
“It’s the worst.”
Lincia muttered as she rubbed her cheek against the cold mahogany wood.
It was the worst. I don’t know why. Anyway, the moment I heard Fried’s words, my mood went bad.
So, I ended up staging an eccentricity that didn’t fit my body.
Looking back, there was nowhere for Lincia to get angry. It has nothing to do with whoever Fried is in love with. No matter how lord it was, it was not something that could be discussed.
On the contrary, isn’t it something to be welcomed that you don’t care about the opposite s*x? Isn’t that fulfilling one’s duties as a border guard?
However, a heat welled up in the depths of his heart. Although she didn’t think she had a hot-tempered personality, today’s Lincia was definitely nervous.
“Why are you doing this?”
The whole family was lost, and Melina died. Not many people believed. After ascending the throne, naturally there are many things to think about, so my head is a mess.
yes. In that situation, the only thing he could trust was Freed, so he naturally became dependent on him.
But.
To understand that, Lyncia was a bit, no, overly wise.
“Ugh! No matter what!”
Lynchia suddenly stood up and slammed the table.
I do not know.
I’m not sure!
“Anyway, because Fried is bad!”
I decided to think so.
Since he is a patriot, it is only natural that he behaves diligently. In that sense, Crazy Freed was a failing grade. Fried is all bad. There was nothing wrong with himself.
It wasn’t easy to explain this subtle feeling and feeling that had nowhere to go.
Above all, Lyncia was almost confined to the imperial palace. In the dull imperial palace, there are few people with colors. I learned about the world through books and stories. Lynchia lacked the experience to define what my feelings were.
It was still too early for Lyncia to realize that these were natural feelings for a girl.
“your majesty?”
Lincia lifted her chin at the sudden voice calling her.
One maid was bowing her head with a puzzled expression. She was a handmaid who took over the position of head maid, which had been vacant since Melina’s death.
I don’t know how long he’s been in the office, but he’s probably seen all his ugliness.
Thinking so, Lincia suddenly felt ashamed and straightened her back on her own.
“what’s the matter?”
“That’s because there’s a class soon…”
“ah.”
Come to think of it, there was a swordsmanship class in the early evening.
rather welcome If you move your body without hesitation, this strange feeling will surely get better.
After completing her judgment, Lyncia stood up from her seat.
“Oh, Lucy.”
“Why are you like that?
However, before leaving the room, he called the lady-in-waiting and asked a question.
“There is one person.”
“Yes.”
“It makes me feel weird when he sees me. But when he sees someone other than me, he feels worse. But when he sees me again, he feels weirder. Of course, I do the same. It keeps attracting attention and clinging to it. Maybe that’s why I always want to keep it in my sight.”
“Yes……?”
“I want to know your hobbies, and I’m curious about what you do. I’m worried that he’s doing something stupid. That doesn’t mean I hate him. I trust him. What is this?”
Lucy’s expression turned red.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly, which was strangely unpleasant.
“Does that make your heart tingle?”
“what?”
“You mean beating.”
“……Well.”
put your hand on your chest
It seemed that the thumping sensation was still there.
“I guess so?”
“……Oh my gosh. So when you see that person, do you smile?”
I pondered for a while.
Well, being with Fred is fun.
“What… is it?
“Ugh!”
Lucy covered her mouth.
Lynchia tilted her head.
“Why? What is it?”
“… are you asking because you don’t know?”
“yes?”
Lucy covered her mouth and slowly approached Lyncia.
He put his mouth to her ear and whispered.
“That’s love.”
Cong.
It was the sound of Lincia’s seal falling to the floor again.
