In This Life, I Will Be The Lord

Chapter 261

Perez’s breath was felt with my exposed skin.

I secretly bite my lower lip and turned back and said casually.

"Perez, tell me honestly. You like to surprise me, don’t you?"

"I got caught."

Perez giggled low.

Where did the majestic Emperor go? whom I saw him in the conference room a little while ago.

There was even a playful smile on his face.

I said, gently wrapping his cheek.

"Perez."

I’m so glad he can smile like this.

"Why did you look like that in the conference room?"

"Ah....."

With my question, Perez’s face became sullen again.

"Yes, this look. What’s going on?"

"Because your fingers are empty."

Perez’s slightly rough, hard fingertips rubbed my fourth finger.

"An engagement ring, where is it?"

"Ah!"

Now I realize.

There was no red diamond ring that should have been on the fourth finger of my left hand.

"Well, you know?"

"...did you lose it?"

"No, I didn’t lose it, I just forgot to put it on again after taking it off for a while while taking a bath in the morning."

To be honest, I don’t remember properly, but I just made up my mind.

But in the meantime, my head was busy.

Where did I put the ring?

"It’s okay, even if I lost it."

As if he had read my mind, Perez said, kissing my empty fourth finger briefly in a low voice.

"I’ll give you the same thing again. Even a hundred."

"......I didn’t lose it. I have it when I go home."

"I’m glad to hear that."

Perez’s face was still sullen, even though he talked casually.

"I always wear what Tia gave me."

Perez said, showing the emerald ring on the fourth finger of his left hand.

Our engagement was for two years, so I gave it to him when he said that he needed a proof of promise to keep in the meantime.

I thought it meant just asking for anything, but unexpectedly, he picked up a green emerald and asked for it.

The reason was that it was the color of my eyes that came to mind.

So I asked grandfather Croily’s workshop to make a ring with platinum and emerald.

And since the day he received it, the Emerald Ring never left his fourth finger.

"...I’m sorry."

What more excuses would the wrongdoer say?

I said, holding Perez’ hand tight.

"Hmm."

...Something’s weird.

As I lifted my head, I saw a guy covering his mouth with a slightly clenched fist.

"You...... again!"

Oh, I was tricked again!

"Stop teasing me! Where did you learn all the weird stuff?"

"I’m sorry. Tia is so cute that I don’t know what to do."

"Who is it? Who taught you this?! Is it the guys from the academy again? It’s Lignite Luman, right?!"

"Haha."

Perez laughed out loud as he looked at me in anger.

Then he suddenly lifted me up and began to stride.

"What, what!"

I wrapped my arms around his neck in surprise, and after a while I landed on a very fluffy sofa.

"The chairs in the conference room are very uncomfortable."

Perez smiled as he matched his eyes level with me sitting down.

"That’s true. How do you know that?"

Perez’ seat in the conference room was a very soft chair.

That was the case when he was the Crown Prince, even more so now as the Emperor of Lambrew Empire.

Such a guy wouldn’t have been able to sit in a hard chair for the nobles.

Then I asked, even though I couldn’t think of passing through my head.

"Would you like to sit in my seat and see?"

"......"

Instead of answering, Perez sneaked away from my eyes.

It was a face he made when he couldn’t answer my question.

"Why are you in my seat?"

"......Sometimes I’m curious about what Tia sees."

"Sometimes?"

"Sometimes when I think about it."

I don’t think ’sometimes’ is sometimes.

"Because I can’t go see you whenever I think of you."

"Ah..."

It was inevitable.

Perez is the Emperor and I am the Matriarch of Lombardi.

So, we couldn’t spend time as often as any other lover.

I said, swallowing a sigh that about to leak out.

"I’m just curious about that, anyway."

Embarrassingly.

As I added small, Perez reached out his big hand.

Then he said, putting my hair flowing to the side behind my ear.

"I’m curious about everything about you. Did you eat a lot of your favorite strawberries for breakfast tonight, and what did you dream about last night?"

His soft voice relaxed me, but my heart was pounding more and more.

"What kind of people did you meet today and what are your thoughts. And......"

Perez’ fingers, which were fiddling with my earlobes, lightly poke between my neck and hair.

"Whether you thought of me."

A low voice came very close.

"Tia, did you miss me, too?"

It was in an instant that the lips approached.

Along with the sensation of breathing, Perez’ body temperature was transmitted to my tender flesh.

"Haa."

As soon as I could no longer hold his breath, Perez rose up and came closer.

Suddenly, my body was buried deep in the back of the sofa, and my head was raised to the top.

Everything outside that complicated my mind disappeared, and a world was filled with Perez.

"Tia."

In that brief moment when his lips met and fell, Perez continued to whisper my name.

Oh, really.

I pulled my arms around his neck even closer.

I know how to get used to it now.

Whenever Perez looked at the face of a man like this, I was still unfamiliar with him.

With the continued kisses, the gaps in our bodies gradually disappeared.

The body temperature rose even more, making the dress unbearably cumbersome.

At this rate.

I grabbed Perez by the shoulder and spoke with difficulty through a gap of the lips that wouldn’t fall away from me.

"Perez."

I only called his name once, but Perez stopped moving as if he understood the meaning.

But that’s all, he exhaled that seemed to rush again.

Judging from a few pauses, it seemed that his reason and instinct were fighting very fiercely.

"Shall we...... advance our marriage by a few months?"

Perez asked me with red-hot eyes all around.

"You know it doesn’t work."

"No, Tia. Maybe there is a way. We always find a way."

The eyes, burning red like charcoal, swept all over my face.

"That’s the way it is."

Oh, shall we?

I groped at the hem of Perez’s robe, which still in my hand, and I closed my lips tightly.

Perez and I want it this way.

But in the end, reason put the last flag.

I said, placing Perez’ forehead to my forehead.

"Creney’s still traveling, Perez."

"Ha."

In the end, Perez, with a deep and deep sigh, muttered with a tight tooth.

"Creney."

Eventually, Creney succeeded in graduating early last year at the top of the liberal arts department.

In the first place, I and Perez’s engagement was a grace period until Creney graduated, who could help me work as Lombardi’s householder.

I can’t forget the face of Perez, who was in full bloom after hearing the news.

However, Creney, who was hesitant, has revealed that he wants to travel with his Academy’s friends for a year.

For me, who knew how hard Creney had studied so far, saying that he would live up to my expectations, I had no choice but to do him a favor.

Besides, if he start working for Lombardi, traveling will lead to a life he can’t even dream of.

Creney, who began his imperial trip, was recently in the midst of a trip to the East in time for Larane’s wedding.

Creney went on a trip for a year. After hearing that Perez, who learned that, tried to place a wanted order across the country, it has not even been in the central area.

I said, using my finger to erase my traces from Perez’ lips.

"Let’s stay together on the cruise while traveling to the East, Perez."

"Oh, Cruise."

When I brought up the story of traveling to the east, the guy’s face, which seemed to be covered in dark clouds, brightened.

Then I moved the body that was overlapping on me and sat it next to me.

If it says it’s a seat next to me, it’s as close as you can reach your body.

"But are you sure you’re okay, Perez?"

"......what?"

I answered him gently, playing around with his fingers.

"Anyway, you’ll be away for weeks. But I wonder what will happen right now."

The Emperor does not move carelessly.

It was for safety, but at the same time for power.

There will be a gap in the empty space anyway.

Someone might be greedy for the vacancy.

Perez, who slowly blinked at my question like that, answered.

"I’m not such a loose Emperor as to cause trouble just because I’m away for a while. It’s okay, Tia."

Oh right. He did.

I nodded when I realized what a powerful Emperor Perez was.

"Yes, that’s right. Awesome, you."

I stroked his head with a sincere and proud heart.

Then Perez leaned his forehead on my shoulder and laughed like a shy boy.

Then he looked up at me and said in a low voice.

"You made it this way, Tia."
