14 – The Man Loved by the Goddess (2)

“Zerath…!”

As I was doing state affairs in Alprada Kingdom that started every day, Lucy came to visit me after a long time.

Now, she wears a beautiful crown. She was originally beautiful and elegant, but after becoming a queen, it feels even more beautiful.

After all, does a seat make a person? Or was Lucy originally such a queen? I’m not sure about that, but what’s certain is that Lucy, who has become the current queen, suits her very well.

“Ah… What’s the matter, my queen?”

“Zerath. When we were together, we decided to just talk plainly..”

But when Lucy, the queen, is alone with me, she returns to her old Lucy.

It was Lucy who immediately relaxed when she saw me, and it was Lucy who asked me to speak nonsense.

“Um… Yes. It was.”

Since Lucy became her queen, I’ve been trying to respect her as the queen of her country, but Lucy doesn’t seem to want that. She asked me to speak casually, and I was on my way.

Originally, she was Lucy who told me to speak kindly to herself even in official settings. She said it didn’t matter that no one really cared.

But that would never happen. No matter how much I think about it, by my standards, I don’t think a country’s prime minister should talk badly to the queen in an official setting. That’s why I rejected it, and in the end, it was after we reached an agreement to some extent that we spoke only in private.

Because of this, when we are alone, Lucy and I go back to our old friend-like relationship, talking casually and playing around.

“Haa… As expected, this is where I feel most at ease.”

Anyway, it seems that the reason she came to this room was to rest.

Lucy shows the image of a perfect girl while lying flat on the sofa.

As a queen, she usually tries to keep herself in shape, but it must have been quite difficult for her to do such actions, so she often comes to my office and rests like that under the pretext of taking a break.

Looking at him like that, he’s very cute, but in a good way, I feel that the essence of a person doesn’t change very well.

“Lucy, aren’t you supposed to go on a business trip to another country?”

However, I couldn’t just accept Lucy’s foolishness.

Right now, Lucy has just ascended the throne as queen, so she is busy here and there.

There were quite a lot of places to move around, especially externally. It was inevitable that there would be many important people who wanted to see the newly crowned queen of the country.

As a queen, being in charge of the country’s diplomacy was a very important task.

I told Lucy about it, and Lucy was forced to get up from the couch.

Even if she sounds like her nag, she’ll know I’m right.

“I have to go. But before that, I want to talk.”

“What story?”

From noble mtl dot com

But instead of getting up and leaving my office, Lucy came next to me and sat a little closer.

Then it was Lucy who was staring at me with a grin.

What the hell is he doing…? Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but be a little taken aback.

What is she trying to say? It was a bit of a nervous moment thanks to Lucy, who was a little strange today.

“The story that you are very popular, from commoners to officials, everyone praised you for being amazing.”

“… Why are you talking about that?”

I was a little worried about Lucy’s sudden behavior, but I didn’t say much.

What Lucy said was just a simple compliment to me. Once I realized there was no need to be nervous, I quickly relaxed.

“Get ready quickly. We can talk about that later while taking a break, right?”

“Yeah… I have to. But before that, there’s something I need to do…”

“What is that…?”

I urged Lucy again. Such a story could always be told later.

Now, when she had to do diplomacy as the queen of a country, she was about to tell her to hurry up and work as the queen of a country.

“… Xerath…”

But for some reason Lucy didn’t get up from her seat and continued to stare at me with her quivering eyes.

Side…♡

Then she slammed her own lips against my cheek.

“…?”

A short, intense sweet sound echoed through the room.

I couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback by Lucy’s sudden action.

Not long after Lucy became her queen, to be honest, she wasn’t too comfortable with Lucy as queen.

She knew that one day she would inherit her throne, but she wasn’t quite prepared for it.

In such a situation, Lucy, who suddenly inherited her throne, she used to do her best, but it was true that she was still having a hard time being her queen.

In such a situation, the existence of Xerath was a very strong support for Lucy.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I’m overflowing with power…’

Thinking back, he was such a great man.

As soon as Xerath was appointed chancellor, he took care of all the kingdom’s numerous issues.

Besides, she was originally a queen, and he helped with everything she had to do.

A man named Xerath really shows excellent abilities in all aspects.

It’s not just magical ability, but the state administration ability he shows after taking on the role of chancellor this time.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was all-round in almost all aspects.

Maybe without him, he couldn’t be sure that he could have done this far.

I don’t know what his own life might have been like.

‘Xerath is working very hard.’

Because of that, he took over the role of chancellor of this kingdom, and she was very grateful for being her queen.

Lucy was always grateful to him for taking care of this and that and working hard every day.

That gratitude continued to grow.

‘I want to give you something in return…’

That’s why he wanted to somehow repay himself.

Lately, he always received something from Xeras and never gave it.

‘A bigger reward than cooking…’

Of course, he always cooks delicious food for Xerath, and Xerath himself is very satisfied with the food he cooks, saying that he really appreciates the food, but still, that’s not enough.

Even though Xerath was grateful, Lucy herself was not satisfied.

‘I can’t help it.’

So Lucy decided to pluck up the courage today to express her gratitude to Xerath. It was a bit of a bold challenge.

Xerath does show a line drawing the line, saying that now is not the time to date. Lucy also knows that he will have to wait for now if he is not to be hated by him.

Lucy knows that when the time is right, he will be chosen by Xerath. But even so, she couldn’t stand it any longer. She had to reciprocate him, and more than anything else, she wanted to make this ambiguous relationship go a little further.

‘Isn’t it okay to cross the line a bit?’

So just a little bit… It might be okay to cross the line just a little bit.

No, it will definitely be fine. What you want to do from now on is also something you do enough depending on the situation even in friendships.

It’s not that much of a problem, I’m just making this ambiguous relationship a little bit better, and I won’t be hated by him in particular.

“…”

Lucy gulped at Xerath and closed her eyes.

Then she slammed her lips against his cheek.

Side…!

Lucy’s lips met Xerath’s cheek.

So today, the ambiguous relationship between Lucy and Xerath has progressed a little bit.

“I’ll come back…!”

In the end, Lucy followed my words and left the room to prepare for a business trip to another kingdom.

We should praise her for fulfilling her duties as a queen.

“…”

But what happened before that made a pretty, no, very strong impression on me.

Lucy’s figure running away from her, I felt my heart pounding quite a bit watching her like that.

It’s really embarrassing and dumbfounded that you did that to me all of a sudden.

“What the hell just happened…”

It felt like I knew in my head what had happened to me, but still couldn’t understand it emotionally.

I’m a little confused. I never thought I’d get a kiss on the cheek from Lucy…

It was just before that I couldn’t help but think about a lot of things.

“Prime Minister, may I come in for a moment?”

I was still confused when I heard a voice outside the door.

That voice must have been that of Damon, the minister of the kingdom, the minister of helping me and working hard.

In order to greet such a substitute, I calmed down my face as quickly as possible.

Anyway, it wasn’t because someone found out about this issue.

“Yes. Come in.”

“Queen Lucy was leaving earlier. What happened?”

Instead of Damon coming into the room and asking what happened earlier.

I hurriedly changed the subject.
