I Became the Monster’s Bride

o him.
Then, Kergel just smiled vaguely and soon continued.

“The Emperor and the Empress are also people themselves.”

“……?”

Roelin looked strange at Kergel’s sudden words.
Nonetheless, he just looked at her casually and continued still.

“Sometimes, you just have to make time to breathe.
So that you can get away from the position of the Emperor or Empress and merely enjoy your own life.
Otherwise, you might be swallowed up in your place while being oblivious to who you actually are.”

“……”

She was just blinking slowly, not responding to anything he had said.
Kergel was facing her as he smiled before he stood up from his seat and proceeded to reach out for Roelin.

“Let’s get out of here then.”

“What do you mean? Where…”

Roelin glanced at the hand in front of her and looked at him again puzzlingly.
Then, Kergel grabbed a hold of Roelin’s hand and raised her up before he continued.

“Out of the Imperial Palace, of course.
Don’t you think we should look at the real Seroif itself?”

“…What do you mean? Your Majesty!”

She followed him with her eyes wide open in surprise at his subsequent words.

However, Kergel did not care as he pointed somewhere within the drawing room.

“The secret passage that leads to the outside of the Imperial Palace is right over there.”

He smiled a little playfully while still meeting her pair of blue eyes.

“I just can’t believe it.”

Roelin couldn’t speak properly at the sight of what was right in front of her, but she finally managed to spit it out.

“What’s wrong with you? Come over and pick out your clothes.
Of course, they can’t be anything that would catch your eyes, but you still can’t go out in that very outfit now, can you?”

Kergel looked back at her in that loose outerwear.
When Roelin made eye contact with him, she blushed without even realizing it and immediately avoided looking at him.

She felt unfamiliar and it was hard to express in words.
She tried to calm herself down before she looked at him once again after that.

Not the Emperor of the Empire, but just an ordinary young man was already standing there while looking ultimately relaxed.

“Who would truly think of this man as the Emperor of Seroif?”

It was hard to find the pressure which she had felt from him before.
She wouldn’t even think that he was the one who had been the master of the Empire.

He appeared to be a cheerful young man who just knew how to smile.

‘…Maybe this is what this man really looks like right now.’

Roelin recalled what Kergel had said just then.

〈 Sometimes, you just have to make time to breathe.

Otherwise, you might be swallowed up in your place while being oblivious to who you actually are.
