0.7. Honey (1)

"after… … ”

The man took a long breath and picked his breath. She calmed down after a while.

“Please enter.”

The ornately embossed door was pushed back to reveal a large hall with a red carpet.

A number of round tables were placed on either side of it, and nobles in full dress sat on it.

“You can go right in front of His Majesty. I will take the lead again this time.”

Recardo continued walking towards the podium. Jenny followed him reluctantly.

“As rumor has it, you have mysterious colored hair.”

“I heard you sacrificed your whole body to pay off the debt of your life to His Majesty.”

He knew right away that everyone in the hall was paying attention to him. Jenny gave a little more strength to her back and walked out with dignity.

hop hop hop.

Following her movement, everyone's eyes move horizontally. Eventually she arrived near the podium.

Jenny looked up at the throne in the center of it. There sat Tenok, dressed in livery.

'… … .'

When I first met Tenok, he was in hunting clothes. After that, he wore clothes that were moderately formal but comfortable for movement.

Seeing that man wearing a uniform that revealed his authority like this reminded me of the fact that he was an emperor.

Jenny was stunned for a moment by the image of 'holiness' itself, which is so intimidating and noble that it is said that God poured out special affection on it.

“You did something wrong.”

If it hadn't been for the sudden piercing of his low voice, he would have stood there blankly. Jenny suddenly came to her senses and looked in front of him.

When he went up, an aide, Recardo, was standing next to the emperor. He bowed his head and apologized to the emperor.

"sorry. Since it is an appointment ceremony, I thought it should be formal.”

It was a very small sound that only Tenok and Recardo could hear, but Jenny, a rabbit with developed hearing, could hear their conversation.

“Forcing an animal to dress is a form of abuse. Be careful in the future.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

'all.'

It was unexpected. When you're hunting animals to get out of your nightmares, you're making such animal-loving remarks.

“Proceed.”

Tenoch nodded and instructed. As if nothing had happened, Lecardo opened the file he was wearing on his left arm.

“On the 20th day of the 6th month of the 535th year of the imperial calendar, a rabbit with silver fur was appointed to the Gimigwan by Hwang Myeong. This rabbit is now... … Acquire! I'm really sorry."

Recardo bowed his head and apologized profusely. Tenoch slowly closed and opened his eyelids to accept his apology.

“I will proceed again. From now on, this rabbit will taste all of Emperor Tenoch Apollo's meals in advance to check for poison.”

Jenny, who was staring blankly at the podium, pricked up her ears.

'wait. A rabbit with silver fur?'

After making the declaration, Recardo turned to her.

"Congratulations. Acquire!”

And congratulations?

'for a moment.'

Jenny jumped up from her seat.

'You mean I was the main character of the appointment ceremony?'

It was only then that I understood this riotous outfit. And why everyone is suddenly using honorifics towards themselves.

Anyway, it's a 'Kimi Hall'.

'Is it like Kimi Court Palace? Wow, what a funny town!'

The corners of his lips curled up.

Think about it. It is the food eaten by the emperor of the empire. Wouldn't it be more than the quality prepared by the head chef of a 7-star hotel?

To be able to taste it before Tenok Apelod, who is said to be the sun of the empire, even put it in his mouth.

'Isn't this a perfect job?'

Excited ears started to dance, but one by one, the servants entered the hall with plates in both hands.

First, food was laid out on the emperor's table, followed by a delicacy for the noble officials.

Jenny's mouth was salivating.

'It's like this impatient amylase.'

Chew.

“Mr. Kimi-gwan. Then, shall we go to fulfill our duty?”

As soon as Recardo's words fell, Jenny hopped up onto the podium. Then, the emperor who was sitting in his seat slowly raised his body.

A feeling of intimidation pouring from the huge body.

Jenny, a small herbivore (if not more) animal, instinctively stiffened as she stood in front of tenochs several dozen times her size.

'Don't be scared, Yujin.'

They gave me the position of Kimi-gwan, and made me take care of me diligently for a week, so I didn't think they would kill me anymore.

However, he is a man with the title of 'tyrant'. A cold-blooded man who kills beautiful creatures without batting an eye.

Of course, I talked about 'animal cruelty' to my aide a while ago, but what can I do if I'm wrong?

'I can't.'

I have no choice but to radiate charm.

'Hard social life.'

Jenny put her front paw near her mouth and her eyes bulged.

'What?'

The last time he said 'cute' himself, so I believed that it would work this time too.

“… … .”

And her predictions were right. A man approaching Jenny receives her special move and strokes her mouth.

'saw. I saw.'

Ho-seon's lips reflected through his large hands... … !

A little relaxed, Jenny lowered her front leg and looked up at the man.

Tenoch leaned over and embraced her. Then she kindly puts it on her table.

'boy.'

Feeling a little proud, I looked around at the food in front of me.

'Hmm, what should I eat first?'

Jenny jumped lightly and took her seat in front of the largest plate.

'As expected, appetizers are meat.'

Pork back ribs seasoned with sauce and grilled. When she pretended to be her and pointed with her paw, the servant standing by her immediately cut off one of her ribs and placed it on a plate in front of her.

snap. I took a big bite and asked. The aroma of charcoal fire spreads throughout your mouth.

'It melts easily, melts.'

Jenny, who ate a bone in an instant, randomly pointed to the dish that caught her eye.

I'm so immersed in tasting like a meal.

“… … That Kim Kwan-im.”

At the sound of the aide's call, Jenny moved her mouth and raised her head, which had been buried in the plate.

'Well? why?'

“Leave it.”

However, Tenoch stops him in the first place.

'Oops.'

Jenny suddenly came to her senses. He swallowed the food in his mouth and swallowed it in the back of his throat.

'Sorry, sorry.'

Then he smiled and nodded his head. The food is great... … No, no, that meant nothing was wrong.

Tenoch, who had been staring at her with his chin resting on one arm, smiled. There is no such thing as a very murderous smile.

“Are you still eating? It seems to suit your taste.”

'It suits your taste perfectly. But it's not polite to eat alone.'

It's embarrassing to come now and pay your respects. anyway.

I sat with my legs together and waited, but somehow the man seemed unwilling to pick up the fork.

'Hey. If you eat, I won't feel comfortable eating either. Come on, eat.'

Even when he pointed at the food with his eyes, the opponent was still immovable.

'Hmm.'

If so, you have no choice but to go out on your own.

hop hop.

Jenny bit into a black olive on top of the salad with her front teeth. Then she set it down on Tenoch's plate and widened her eyes.

'eat.'

Jenny's red eyes and Tenoch's golden eyes crossed precisely. But the man was still just staring at him.

Jenny pushed the olive a little further forward with the tip of her mouth. Only then did Tenoch, who had been leaning on his back, tilt his upper body forward.

and open my mouth.

'Why, what? whatever.'

The man was immobilized once more.

'Are you asking me to put it in your mouth?'

oh i don't know Jenny bit off the olive on the plate and pushed it into the man's gaping lips. At the same time, the corner of Tenoch's mouth curved in satisfaction.

It looked quite tasty.

 

***

 

The evening meal went smoothly. Except for one thing, Tenok's strange behavior.

The Emperor occasionally dipped a small piece of steak with a fork and held it out in front of Jenny. At first, not knowing what she was thinking, she sat quietly with her front legs together, and then she grabbed the corner of her mouth with her meat.

As I growled with a frown, the steak slid in between my slightly parted lips.

'Oh.'

After such a somewhat incomprehensible act was repeated several times, the meal was over.

I was thinking of going back to my room now. Tenoch picked her up again and headed for her.

and where you arrived.

'Wow.'

It was a garden with a gorgeous and large fountain made of marble. The stream of water slowly falling along the statue raised in the center created a quiet atmosphere.

A space surrounded by smoothly shaped garden trees. Tenoch sat down on a bench and gently lowered Jenny from his arms to the floor.

hop hop hop.

Excited, Jenny went here to see the flowers in the flower bed, and there to admire the statues erected here and there.

'Totally, completely! It's just as I read in the novel!'

Moreover, this place was the first place where the female protagonists, Loetta and Tenoch, embraced.

As an avid reader of the novel, I couldn't help but be excited.

'Hmm, come to think of it.'

The first time the emperor met Loetta was when he went stealthily.

After obtaining information that there was an illegal slave auction, he secretly hid there, and felt sorry for her, who had been neglected even in the slave market, and won the auction at the highest price ever.

It didn't matter anyway because the auction house would be wiped out by the emperor's guards and all cash and items traded there were scheduled to be returned to the national treasury.

'It was a perfect scene to capture the hearts of readers as well as Yeoju.'

Typical cliché.

'How much do you need? I thought I could have you this way! big... … !'

Jenny admired alone and exclaimed inwardly.

'When will Yeoju appear?'

Jenny stopped hopping and turned to Tenoch. Then she saw her man staring at her with her legs crossed and one of her arms resting on her back.

A shiny navy blue silk shirt and a nicely pleated off-white cravat. Black hair fluttering in the gentle wind.

'really… … .'

Even thinking about it once again, it was a dangerous character for the heart. The writer who set up such a main character is really.

'Get me. I don't know which direction I'm going in.'

Jenny casually put her front legs together in four directions and bent her waist.

After thanking the author of <The Tyrant's Ugly Bride>. She returned to Tenoch.

Then hop! I jumped and flew over the bench. I really meant to.

But when I landed, I wondered why it was on the man's thigh. I really wanted to cry.

Of course, I didn't hate the hard muscle texture underneath. Yes, yes, honestly, I liked it, but I had no intention of breaking into the emperor's arms.

“… … What are we going to do?”

 

Just then, a slightly flustered tone was heard from above.
