Wind Becomes a Storm (5)

“You, you dare!”

She made a rough excuse, nodding her head to death.

“My humble body cannot remain in contact with Your Majesty’s precious body. Pardon me all to hell. Please forgive me.”

Vivian’s soulless mumble made Julian more gallant and excited, but he soon became calm after he looked at Aiden’s face. It was because he could not treat the woman his brother loved recklessly in front of him.

Although he was particularly disinterested in the affairs of Cardel and Aiden, the emperor was the emperor. He had a fake smile on his face at once. Be nice to your brother’s girl.

It was, to be exact, sweet to your girl.

“Well, be careful next time.”

Vivian looked sick and tired of the words, and Aiden looked even more unpleasant. Next?

“I’m sorry. I’ll always be careful.”

“Well Spoken…… No, you’re a good talker.”

Julian laughed in vain and said he really just came to borrow a book. And he gave Vivian a wink after saying he only asked for advice on the book.

“Right?”

He asked back with an eyeball. It means that there are a bunch of people who can’t help themselves. Vivian had no choice but to swallow a sigh and respond to the Emperor’s insults that knocked him out.

“There’s a book you’re looking for. I just happened to have a new one.”

“Oh, is that true?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, it is a very useful book you need now, so go and read it.”

Vivian, who said so, soon picked out a romance novel featuring a friendly male lead and began to place it in the cart.

Aiden once said this while borrowing a book. The reason he reads the book was to indirectly experience and project the knowledge and feelings that he lacks.

He doesn’t know too much to explain, so it wouldn’t be bad to recommend books that set an example. Of course, it seems too much for the emperor to see and follow, but she didn’t want it there.

It was important to get a sense of how to do it. Even a small element was fine, so if he tried to look like an ant’s hind legs, that was enough.

Julian checked the titles of the books she chose and made strange faces, but he simply accepted the book silently because he couldn’t resist the excuse he made.

Do you think he’ll ever read those books?

Vivian stared at Julian’s back, where the book led the mountainous cart and disappeared. It really didn’t look like it. It was purely his fault that he came with no attendants or servants.

Well.

Her cheeks stung. Vivian felt a persistent gaze and sweated. She was going to get a hole in her face.

“So… what’s going on here?”

Aiden asked. It was clear that Julian’s clumsy excuse did not work.

Vivian looked up at him. His eyes were so blatant that she could see what he wanted to say.

His Majesty asked her if she was going to keep going in and out of here, what kind of conversation did the man and woman have at this late night, what are they going to do here?

“Tell me, I’m begging you.”

Vivian looked a little surprised because it sounded so desperate.

Aiden himself seemed quite confused. His shaky eyes shuddered and seemed distressed as if he could hardly control his rising emotions.

Jealousy? Vivian kept her mouth shut and examined his face.

Why…?

She almost asked. She quivered her lips and shook her head. It was a miserable expectation.

That can’t be true. Oh, my God.

She shouldn’t expect anything that she wasn’t even sure about. Because she didn’t want to get hurt.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t talk to you about what happened.”

The way not to be hurt was simple. The false hope and delusion that cannot come true anyway is to fold like paper and bury it deep under the ground. If one doesn’t come forward and dig, they won’t be hurt.

“But he really just asked for advice. Nothing special happened. Really.”

“But why are you hiding it?”

“Well, I guess it’s embarrassing that a high standing man asked for advice from a librarian like me.”

“…..”

There was nothing more to say when nothing happened. It was not intentionally intended to hide it, but it was only natural to shut up at the Emperor’s orders.

Of course it was, but she didn’t like it terribly. When she shut her mouth, Aiden could no longer pry and made a face.

***

The case seemed to end like that.

But Julian has been in and out of the library with absolute certainty ever since. He also picked Vivian’s working hours and went there. Mostly during the night when the sun sets completely and the moon rises.

Aiden had no choice but to give up everything he did every night and keep an eye on the Emperor’s secret movements. He couldn’t even get his hands on anything else because he was worried about what the two were doing.
