Claire ran straight to the window.Due to the triumphal ceremony, there was a festive atmosphere outside the imperial castle. A great wave of cheers could be seen beyond the wall in the distance.Breaking through that road, the knights came straight to the Imperial Castle.Claire was nervous. I blinked and tried to find Oscar.It was still far away, so I couldn’t see him in detail, but it wasn’t difficult to find him.It was because he was coming from the front seat, wearing a uniform, and driving a pure white horse in a cool shape.As soon as she saw Oscar, Claire’s nose twitched. It is said that when the body is far away, the mind is also farther away, but sometimes this was not true.Rather, her heart deepened. My heart was pounding so much that I was even surprised.”Sir, the triumphal ceremony will begin soon. You must go.””Yeah, I see.”Rafine followed the maid’s words and hurried her steps.* * *Throughout the triumph, Claire rolled her feet.The emperor honored each and every one of the knights who participated in the war with great care.That, however, could not ruin the improvement ceremony, which took place in a strict atmosphere.’Why aren’t you looking at me?’In the meantime, I think I will feel better if we make eye contact, but Oscar didn’t even look at Claire.On the other hand, Elliot and Cybill smiled at Claire whenever they had a chance.Thanks to that, Claire was able to calm her heart even a little.But, like a lie, Oscar never made eye contact with Claire.As the ceremony continued until almost the end of the ceremony, Claire’s nose twitched at her ferocious heart.Could it be that he changed his mind during the year of the war? What if I ask for a divorce according to the contract?An unsettling thought came to me that I had never thought of before.How do you change your mind like this? It was to the point that Oscar became resentful.Claire bit her lip and glared at Oscar with wide-eyed eyes.To make matters worse, Claire could not reach Oscar even after the triumphal ceremony.This was because by order of the emperor, Oscar had to go straight through the city in a wagon.Perhaps because he intends to inherit the throne soon, the emperor wanted to make Oscar’s face properly recognized by the people.Thanks to this, after the triumphal ceremony, Claire returned to her place in despair.As if the world had collapsed, the maids looked at each other while looking at Claire coming back tumultuously.Claire’s eyes were full of tears as if they were about to fall.Saying they wanted to be alone, all the maids left the room.Claire licked her lips and burst into tears. It was sad, annoying, and disgusting.’No, how can you not take a look?’How long have I waited for this day all year….Claire felt like everything was ruined, so she lay down on the bed and buried her face in the pillow. I screamed and cried while hitting the soft pillow, but I felt no better.’Just come….’Claire, who barely stopped crying, lifted her head slightly, looked out the window, and cheered.As soon as the march was over, Oscar rushed to the Sapphire Palace like the most urgent person in the world.Ignoring all greetings from passing courtiers, Oscar ran to the bedroom and looked down at his outfit only after standing in front of the door.”….”It was a gaze with a meaning that Oscar could not understand.Clair’s maid, an expert on facial expressions, stopped talking to Oscar.’His Vision is already very upset.’It might be better not to tell you.The maid just opened the door without saying a word.Oscar patted his messy hair and went inside cautiously.It felt like my heart would explode. How long have you been waiting for this moment….As soon as he entered the large hall, Oscar found Clair. He seemed to know what it felt like to have tears running down his face.Even with this longing that tears his eyes, he deliberately tried not to pay attention to Claire throughout the triumph.Claire only glanced as she exchanged glances with Cybill and Elliot. It was possible because of his desperate efforts.When Claire’s eyes met, it seemed like she couldn’t contain it.Ignoring everyone, it seemed like he would be standing there, holding only Claire, all day.The triumphal ceremony wasn’t just for himself.However, Oscar realized the moment he found Clair, who was still motionless with his face buried in the pillow. own mistakes.Oscar should have kept eye contact with Claire. It was the only circumstance that he knew how to hold back his desire to run.”Claire.”Oscar went straight to the bed and bent his knees.Claire, who had her face buried in the pillow, turned her head. Oscar raised the corners of his lips without realizing it.With such a lovely and pretty wife, how in the world could he have been on the battlefield for a year?”I was all wrong, Claire.””….”Claire bit her lip and glared at him. Oscar felt sorry for Claire’s tear-soaked red eyes.Besides, no matter how much she cried, Claire’s pillow was damp.”I’m sorry.”Oscar apologized sincerely. Claire exhaled vigorously and stood up.”How can you never look at me?””… I saw it when you weren’t.””When I look at you, you say you ignored me.””that….””I know, I know why….”I wanted to see you like that, but now I want to throw the honey chestnut away.Oscar looked up at Clair like that, and carefully stretched out his arms.”Seed….”Claire was crying and then fell into Oscar’s arms and hugged her.”ha….”Oscar let out a sweet sigh. Tears streamed down my cheeks. It was a moment I dreamed of every day.He slowly got up, grabbed Claire’s cheeks, and lowered his head.Their lips overlapped, and the longing breath of each other dug into the tip of their noses.”ah…!”But at that moment. Oscar widened his closed eyes.Claire couldn’t bear her hatred and bit Oscar’s lips.It was an unexpected sweet and bloody reunion for both of them.* * *Five days have passed since Oscar returned.Claire couldn’t hide her surprise.Wash, eat and sleep. It was unbelievable that he had continued a normal life for five days.But even more surprising, no one pointed that point to Claire and Oscar.In five days, there was no knock on the bedroom door except for dinner.The servants hid very much, only provided food and disappeared.It was convenient because no one came, but… After a while, I was a little disappointed.Claire patted the nape of her neck for nothing and turned her gaze away. His white neck was full of red marks.In the seat next to the bed, I saw Oscar with his eyes closed.At that moment, Oscar’s hand, thought to be sleeping, crept up on her stomach.”Isn’t the rumor already all over?”Claire asked in a worried voice. Oscar slowly opened his eyes and looked at him as if he was saying what he meant.Claire took a deep breath and continued.”no…. As soon as I got back, the rumors wouldn’t have spread that I didn’t leave the room for five days.””Has it already been that way?””… It’s not my fault. Your Majesty explains everything.””Yeah, I see.”Oscar smiled and pulled Clair towards him. Claire continued to chirp while being held in his arms.”Yeah, it’s all my fault.”Oscar answered with a smirk and stroked Clair’s soft skin.Claire grunted as she felt the touch of Oscar’s lips falling on the back of her neck.Oscar listened to the cute grunt with a smile and asked.”But if it’s going to be rumored, wouldn’t it be okay if it were longer than 5 days?”Claire’s brow furrowed in response to a question asked while kissing Claire’s ear. There was a firm feel behind his back.”but….””Everyone will understand. I’ll do my best without rumors, Claire. yes?””….””If you mention this, I will give you a strict decree that I will not leave you alone, just a little longer….”At Oscar’s sweet plea, Claire sighed. I didn’t want to, and I couldn’t.
