CHAPTER 8 "Strange"

Winter has come. The entire palace was covered in thick snow and it made the air extremely cold. Cecilia who was working as usual, always thought of the contents of that paper. Make it unfocused and comfortable with it.

If I think about it, the contents of the paper were like this. Luckily I have a strong memory. So I can remember it well. Heolstor to behave like that, what does this mean?.

Cecilia scribbled a small piece of paper. The paper contains the ancient sentences . She hid the paper, so that Heolstor wouldn't know it.

"Empress Cecilia?"

"Yes, Mr. Aidan?"

"Is there anything I can help?."

"What do you mean?."

Aidan approached Cecilia and pointed at the drawer. The drawer was where Cecilia had placed the paper she had hidden.

"do you really can help me?"

"I can help you, without being noticed by Your Majesty."

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course."

Cecilia took the paper and gave it to Aidan. He knelt down, then saluted Cecilia and said an oath.

"I promise you, Empress Cecilia."

Now I don't have to worry about the letter, all I need to do now is apologize to Heolstor. Is he still mad at me?.

"Heolstor."

When I entered the room, I only saw Arthur who was tidying the papers.

"Empress Cecilia?"

"Arthur, where is Heolstor?"

"Your Majesty, is having a meeting with the nobles in the main palace."

"Ouh."

Heolstor must be very busy with his work. Am I talking to him in the room? But if it's like that, the atmosphere will be even worse. What should I do?.

"If you wish, I can take you."

"Really?"

Arthur escorted me to the main palace. When we were almost there in the main palace. Everyone is looking at me. Maybe because this place was different from other palaces. Therefore, this palace was mostly visited by nobles. I continued to follow Arthur from behind. I told Arthur, I'll be waiting for him in the palace garden. So, Arthur left me and was going to tell Heolstor.

Cecilia was waiting under a big tree. The tree is covered by snow. Cecilia stared at the tree and continued to wait for Heolstor there. The snow continued to fall, exposing Cecilia's clothes to the snowflakes. While cleaning snow on her clothes. Her eyes were covered by someone behind her.

"Heolstor?, What are you doing?"

He opened my eyes and I turned to greet him. When I saw it, he not Heolstor.

"Greetings, Empress Cecilia."

"Duke Ardolph?"

"How about your condition?"

"I'm getting better."

Hugo smiled at me and touched a strand of my hair.

"Have you read it?"

Read?, What do you mean?.

"Cecilia!"

When Cecilia wanted to answer Hugo's question. Heolstor called out to her from a distance. He came here and pulled Cecilia.

"What are you doing?"

Heolstor continued to bring me closer in his arms. I just paused to see his behavior. He continued to stare at Ardolph very coldly, as if he was annoyed. Heolstor asked Ardolph again.

"I asked you, what are you doing?. Did I already told you, don't go near her."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

Without further do, Heolstor pulled Cecilia and left Ardolph. They headed to the other side of the palace, it seemed Heolstor was doing it on purpose.

"Heolstor stop, let go of my hand."

I saw his face. He looks really annoyed. What's wrong with him?. Last time I met Ardolph, he also behaved like that. He kept pulling my hand. My hand felt sore because he was holding it so tightly.

"Heolstor!"

"Cecilia?"

"it's hurt."

Heolstor let go of his grip and looked at Cecilia's red hand.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia."

The atmosphere became very awkward. I wanted to talk, but it doesn't seem like the right time. Should I be quiet?

I saw Cecilia's red hands. I got carried away by my emotions. When I was having a meeting. Arthur came and said Cecilia wanted to see me. Cecilia was waiting in the garden?. She should have just waited inside. The air today is very cold because of the snow.

I headed to the park and saw her who was waiting for me under a big tree. But at the same time, Ardolph came towards her and spoke to her. What do you want?. My emotions overflowed and headed towards them. What are they talking about?.

"Cecilia?, What are you talking about with Duke Ardolph?"

"Hm? We don't talk about important things. He just asked about my condition."

"Thank God."

Heolstor looked away and seemed to be thinking about something.  I'm just silent, not to add any new problems. While I was looking at the falling snow, there was a whisper of other people talking about me.

"That's Empress Cecilia isn't it?"

"It really her. She very beautiful as rumors."

Don't they have other topics to talk about?. I feel uncomfortable. Heolstor just didn't see me quietly. Looks like I'm in a very difficult position. Everyone keeps looking over here and talking about me continuously.

"Cecilia .."

"Heolstor?"

What did he do?. Hey, everyone is watching us more. What is your real goal?. This is so embarrassing.

Suddenly, Heolstor embraced Cecilia very tightly in front of the crowd. Cecilia struggled to escape the atmosphere. But Heolstor's body was too strong, rendering her helpless. All she has to do now, is just follow the flow and stay calm.

I kept looking away from her, until it hit me. Everyone has been paying attention to Cecilia. It must have made her uncomfortable. What should I do?. I'm sorry Cecilia.

Heolstor embraced Cecilia and looked back with a sharp gaze. He motioned for the nobles to stop staring at Cecilia and leave here immediately. The nobles were silent and left the place so as not to cause big trouble.

I let go of my hug when everyone was gone. I saw Cecilia's face. Her face flushed, what happened to her?.

"Cecilia, are you okay?"

"Yes ... yes."

I was not strong anymore. He hugged me too tightly, making my heart melt. Why is his face so handsome?. My heart and soul cannot stand this.

....

Emperor and Empress Room.

"Cecilia?, Are you okay?"

"Yes.....yes."

I can't look at him. What's wrong with me?. I am married and always stay with him. This is the first time, I don't want to look at him other than his good looks. I shouldn't have visited him today. If I didn't visit it, it wouldn't be like this.

Heolstor who was sitting on the sofa. Get up from his seat and go to bed. The nightgown that opens the chest, showing Heolstor's beautiful and athletic body. Cecilia couldn't stop staring at Heolstor's chest.

Huh?, What are you doing Cecilia Erebus Gausberto?. Why do I keep looking at his body? I can not stand it anymore. What's wrong with me?. Wake up Cecilia, wake up.

Cecilia continued hitting the pillow next to her. Until she did not realize, that Heolstor had been beside her.

"Cecilia?"

"Heolstor, when did you arrive?"

"What are you saying? You are acting very strange."

You're the one who makes me weird. Emperor Heolstor Erebus Gausberto. You made me like this. I want to hit him in the face. But his face is very handsome, makes me not bear.

"Luckily you did not receive a hit from me."

Cecilia took her blanket and covered herself like a cocoon. Heolstor just trying to figure out what really happened. He kept thinking really hard. Meanwhile, Cecilia just blushed and screamed silently under the blanket.
