Chapter 29
Eventually, the chief of the ceremony began to sweat coldly as wrinkles appeared between His Majesty the Emperor’s eyebrows .
‘This is bad!’—was probably what she thought .
Many people of the royal palace still believed that Gaizel was a dreadful emperor .
To change the atmosphere, Tistye cheerfully asked Gaizel .
“Which gem do you recommend, Your Majesty?”
“…The one who’ll be wearing it is you . You should choose whichever you like . ”
Letting out a heavy sigh, the chief further stretched his body .
Certainly, Gaizel’s profile gave an impression that he wasn’t the slightest bit interested in selecting the jewels . No wonder it felt intimidating .
However, in reality, he almost spilled, “If you want to use all the jewels for your tiara, I’m also fine with that . ”
Therefore, I mustn’t leave this task to His Majesty…
Giving up upon asking for his advice, Tistye looked over the jewels one by one . Seeing one of them, Tistye paused .
“Umm, will this one be alright for the tiara?”
“! Yes, yes of course . This is a gem called ‘Levanite’ . ”
Tistye was thrilled—that was the first she had ever heard of levanite . In the description, an illustration of a deep, bluish, violet stone could be seen . It wasn’t as sparkly as the others . It could be said to be relatively plain compared to the other glittering jewels .
However, Tistye couldn’t help but be drawn by the profound and mysterious atmosphere of the stone . Above all—
“—It’s an ore that can only be found in the Eastern city of Levalia, it symbolizes the, ‘Night of Levalia’ . ”
“The, ‘Night of Levalia’…”
Indeed, it was exactly as its symbolism implied . The stone bore the color of the starry sky after the sun had long set . Gaizel looked over the gem Tistye had chosen .
Then, he asked, slightly lifting his brow .
“…Are you sure? There may be more gorgeous colors . ”
“Yes, I am alright with this one . ”
Envisioning a real levanite, which she had never beheld before, Tistye smiled happily .
“…Because this color resembles that of Your Majesty’s eyes, which I love…”

After the chief of the ceremony heard that, he became surprised before smiling .
Tistye regained some awareness and suddenly turned to Gaizel .
The person in question, Gaizel, was neither glaring nor showing disdain . He had merely lowered his face, and covered his hand over it .
Then, the voice of his heart rapidly flowed into her .
“Okay . Calm down . I mustn’t misinterpret it . She said she loves the color of my eyes, not me . Even if so, I’m really happy . But, the color of my eyes… is there anyone who chooses gemstones based on such a cute standard? Well, there’s one right in front of me . If she had chosen the most expensive one, or even all the jewels, the damage wouldn’t have been this big… I didn’t expect to be suddenly hit from such an angle…”
‘Suddenly hit’—? What does he mean by that—?
Not to mention, the voice of his heart was rapid .
She wondered if he was sick, therefore she asked Gaizel in concern .
“Y, Your Majesty, what do you think?”
“—didn’t I tell you to choose whatever you want?”
After finally removing his hand, Gaizel revealed his face again . He showed a calm expression as usual . However, his cheeks were flushed, then, as if to put up some form of distraction, he turned to the chief of the ceremony .
“Arrange for this stone, then . ”

“Understood . It’ll arrive in about two weeks . I’ll be the one to transport it here . At that time, please confirm the actual item again . ”
As the chief of the ceremony proceeded wisely, he compiled the documents that had been spread across the desk . The documents detailing levanite was placed on top . The chief then left the room in a cheerful mood .
After only the two of them were left in the room, Tistye exhaled .
“I can still hardly believe it… a wedding ceremony…”
“Before, we’re always in the middle of something . ”
It was an unexpected change for Tistye who had been shoveling snow in front of a mountain hut in Isiris until just a month ago . However, it was honestly fun to discuss the suspended ceremony .
In addition, recently, she had been able to spend time with Gaizel whom had been busy . It was also a small privilege granted by the wedding .
“Your Majesty, you’ve been busy lately, are you okay?”
“No problem . What about you? Are you not overdoing it?”
“I’m alright, everyone treats me well . ”
After Gaizel was dismissed from the seat of the emperor, the servants of the mansion had also all been fired . However, after Gaizel’s triumphant return, he had succeeded in recruiting them again . As such, Tistye felt at ease .

Of course, Lizzy was included amongst those servants . She took care of Tistye even more than before .
“Then, that’s fine—more importantly…”
Gaizel grabbed Tistye’s wrist, before drawing her palm towards him . Then, he drew it closer to his face, before kissing it . Gaizel’s hot exhalation could be felt on her palm . Tistye’s shoulders trembled .
Seeing her reaction, Gaizel grinned .
“When it’s only the two of us, I told you to call me ‘Gaizel’, didn’t I?”
“I, I’m sorry, Lord Gaizel…”
Towards Gaizel’s sudden turn in mood, Tistye’s face grew hot .
He pulled her even closer, his fingertips gently touching her chin .
“I’ve been missing you . ”
“M, me too…”
“—I see . ”
Gaizel covered Tistye’s lips, preventing her from saying anything more . With her hands on Gaizel’s chest, Tistye desperately responded to the kiss . Eventually, Gaizel pulled back, sighing with a flushed face .
