Oscar looked at Antonio without answering.”….””He was going to marry me. During the time he was away, he and I had quite a lot of memories.”Power entered Oscar’s forehead at the following words. Antonio was excited to continue speaking.”He….””I don’t have a brother.”Oscar said in a firm voice. Antonio stood still.Taking one step closer to such Antonio, Oscar spoke accurately once again.”I never allowed you to call me hyung. I never once thought of you as my brother, so you are not my brother.””….”Tendons began to rise in Antonio’s chin. Oscar looked at Antonio as if pathetic, and turned his back.Antonio said hastily against his back, as if he had shot the last arrow.”You can have it all but won’t get Claire’s true heart.”Oscar walked without pretending to hear. Antonio clenched his fists.* * *As they approached the Crystal Palace, Oscar took a deep breath and exhaled.He pretended to be okay, but Antonio’s last words made a pretty big scar.”….”Oscar stood for a moment, caught his breath, and repeated clenching and opening his fists.”majesty?”It was then.Claire’s voice was heard in the distance. When I turned my head, I saw Clair approaching with a look that said yes.”You came today as well.”Claire looked around and saw that no one was there, and came close to her nose.”Why are you doing this these days? Why do people keep coming to pick me up? ….”Claire’s narrowed forehead was full of doubt.Oscar stared at Claire like that. My stomach churned as if I was suffocating.”What’s wrong? What happened?”As Oscar’s expression was unsettling, Claire came a little closer.”Are you okay?”Claire’s eyes, looking up at her worriedly, were so lovely that it was sad.Oscar suddenly wondered.Is it really that I can’t win your heart forever? If so, does that mean you won’t be able to have my heart too?The moment he asked himself that question, Oscar realized his own heart.Whether or not he wins Claire’s heart is independent of that.I want to give everything I have to Clair without any cost. whatever it isThen he opened his mouth.”Claire.”Claire opened her eyes and looked up at him. Oscar’s complexion was also pale.A small, white hand caressed Oscar’s cheek.It was an act to check his body temperature, but Oscar did not miss it and placed his hand on Clair’s.”I think Antonio is suspicious of us.” “Yeah?”Claire’s eyes widened. What are you talking about all of a sudden?”Anthony is watching us in the distance.”Oscar said, pointing over Clair’s shoulder. But there was no one at the end of the empty hallway corridor.Just as Claire’s head was about to turn, Oscar blocked it with her other hand.’Uh, uh….’In an instant, Oscar’s face came closer. Claire took a deep breath and hardened.Oscar rubbed her face with Claire’s palm on her cheek.His fingers tickled the back of his hand. Claire’s shoulders shrugged at the strange sensation.”You can’t be suspicious.””that….”Oscar wanted to confirm. Whether or not Antonio is really in Claire’s heart.”If you’re going to act, you must do it right.”With those words, Oscar’s lips swallowed Claire’s.The sweet breath seeped into his nose and he couldn’t come to his senses.Claire was stunned by the sudden kiss, but couldn’t push him away.After the wedding, Claire was thinking about how to kiss again.I wanted to use this method in the past.’If I pretended to be someone far away and deceived Oscar, I would have kissed her several times.’Claire closed her eyes tightly, without even imagining that Oscar would have used that method first.The touch of their lips was as enchanting as the scene in his memory, or even more enchanting than that.Her lips parted for a moment, and Claire sighed as if she didn’t know it. However, Oscar’s lips did not move far away.side. Along with the brief kiss that tickled the heart, Oscar whispered while keeping their lips together.”Wrap your arms around my neck.””….”Claire wrapped her arms around Oscar’s neck as instructed. At the same time, Oscar’s lips overlapped again.It was a more hasty kiss than before.The soft flesh of Claire opened her lips and dug into them. Claire opened her eyes wide and just rolled her eyes.It wasn’t just a kiss, it was a deep kiss. The arm wrapped around Oscar’s neck automatically gained strength.Claire was confused.’But can we do this?’It’s acting, can I do it like this?Besides, when you think about it, something is strange.Antonio is behind Clair’s back, at the end of the corridor… Even if we pretended to be kissing at that angle, we would be deceived.But even this far? Is it that serious too?Thoughts flooded me, but Claire couldn’t keep up with her thoughts.Oscar kissed her and pulled Clair’s back tight and hugged her.Claire was nervous as it was the first time she had been so close to Oscar, but she did not want to fall.Rather, I wanted to overlap the body with Oscar closer and closer.As their breathing began to change wildly, Rafine felt the fuse in her head blown and blown.’Okay, let’s swell up the lips tomorrow.’That’s when I decided to kiss again in earnest.Suddenly, Oscar’s lips fell.As the bodies of each other, which were so close, moved away, a cold wind blew between them.Feeling the immense emptiness, Claire looked up at Oscar with a blank expression.”….”One corner of Oscar’s lips rose slightly. With a charming smile that seemed to stop his heart, he wiped the underside of Claire’s lips.It’s like fixing smudged makeup.’Are you done?’Claire blinked her eyes. So close.Shall we fool who is behind Oscar’s back this time? While Claire was in conflict, Oscar raised an eyebrow and smiled at what was so good.It was a light smile as if an unknown problem had been resolved.he concluded He cannot give his whole heart to Claire.It didn’t have to be.’You’ve already had it for a long time. My heart.’Claire had already plundered everything she had long ago.Oscar finally realized all his feelings for Claire. And decided.He promises to make sure Claire will never leave his side.Now it was his turn.It’s time to steal Claire’s heart.* * *While Viscount Tedler’s funeral was taking place, Maleah was able to avoid detention.It was because of the culture of the empire that revolved around the family. Public sympathy for the empress grew, and the emperor was forced to lift the detention order during the funeral.However, the real party, Maleah, was still in the room of the Sepia Palace.She bit her nails, as if anxiously.This morning I got a call from Geralt Tedler.There was news that he would borrow St. Celestine from the Sepia Palace, but he didn’t tell me what he was doing.That’s why I couldn’t do anything because I was afraid that something big would happen.I felt it the last time we talked, but Gerrol seemed to know everything.That he was the one who killed Viscount Tedler.I could feel it through the gaze that kept looking at me with strange eyes. That eerie gaze that seemed to make fun of her.”Damn it….”If that’s true, Gerrol will surely seek revenge on him.Gerol was the guy who followed his father more than anyone else.Right now, I’m acting like I’m in a boat with myself, but….’It’s sure to push me off a cliff.’The queen continued her thoughts calmly.Gerol and Maleah had the same ultimate goal. To make Antonio the emperor.However, despite having the same goal, each other’s existence gets in the way. You can’t share power.The way to the goal was also the same.Destroying Crown Prince Oscar. So, using the Empress….’for a moment.’Maleah’s eyes narrowed. When I thought about it, it seemed Gerald’s target wasn’t the Empress.Anyway, the Empress was a difficult existence to touch.However, it was even more difficult for Oscar’s old friends, Elliot and Cybill. Especially since Cybill is a spirit warrior with excellent swordsmanship.’if so….’
