“Uriel.”

“So, Your Highness, from now on, even for just a little bit…” He hesitated and added in a low voice. “Please refrain from behaving recklessly.”

Unlike his eyes, he had a voice that made her feel sad.

“But I’m safe with you.”

“Nothing is absolute and things can go wrong in an instant. I hope you remember that neither you nor I are immortal.” Uriel finished and looked up at Apollonia, his burning anger fading.

“I’m sorry,” Apollonia replied reluctantly.

Everything he said was right.

Regardless of status, if one made a mistake, that person had to apologize.

The slightly drooping corners of her eyes that matched her mournful voice caught his attention.

“What did you say?”

“I’m sorry, Uriel. The situation just now is my mistake.” She admitted neatly.

It was quite dangerous to give a large amount of money unnecessarily to a child and not leave the alley in a flash.

However, despite apologizing, Uriel still looked suspicious.

“About what I said earlier, doesn’t it bother you?”

“What do you mean?”

“That I wanted to kill them and I don’t feel sympathy for those who tried to harm you.”

Uriel spoke as if he was ready to be scolded but Apollonia merely shook her head.

“It’s your job. Not mine. Your job is to worry about me when I’m in danger and be angry for my sake. You’re doing a great job. It’s always been like that.”

Apollonia said emphatically and she meant it.

Each person had something to worry about, and the most important thing for Uriel was Apollonia’s safety.

That was the problem if one didn’t know the truth.

“But when you taught me about managing territories——-”

“I told you to worry about the citizens and you’re already putting those teachings to action. As a result, your estate is revived, and the subjects are happy. That’s all it matters.”

“If the people I met a while ago were from my territory, I would have felt the same way. Doing the duties of a noble with rank must only be in accordance with Her Majesty’s teachings.”

Apollonia smiled in satisfaction.

“I might not have any sympathy, but I’m a competent lord who works for the people in this Empire. You are already one of the finest rulers in the Empire, Your Highness. You are a hundred times better than those incompetent and prideful people in Court.”

Apollonia slightly touched Uriel’s shoulder.

“Uriel. I don’t always protect my people, but I don’t like betraying them.”

“I know.”

Apollonia held him by the shoulders with both hands and said. “You rarely see people wrong and you’re the one I trust the most.”

Uriel’s ears turned a little red.

“So don’t worry. Even if you’re angry at them. Even if you think you want to kill someone, it’s not wrong.”

When Uriel nodded, Apollonia’s smile as she talked deepened.

“Rather, it’s what I want.”

Apollonia ended quietly.

Neither Uriel’s anger nor the occasional chilling coolness did she think was wrong.

Rather, Uriel’s remark that he wanted to kill the one who hurt her felt strangely good.

She really didn’t want him to be like that, but she liked the fact that he thought that way.

The most important thing was her ability to govern such a man and Apollonia was confident in ruling Uriel.

Now, it’s time to test his other abilities and with the situation just now, it became clearer to her.

“Uriel, I don’t want to be childish and use my maidservant to discourage my fiancés anymore. I don’t have time for that.” She said in a low voice, holding Uriel by the shoulder.

“I want to limit working under the name of the great businesswoman, Lady Eileen Idena, as well as conspiring with Caelion. I must take off this fragile mask little by little without being obvious to my father or aunt’s eyes.”

“That means….”

“I want to let those neutral aristocrats, who hate Paris but can’t fully support Caelion because he’s not a part of the royal family, know my existence. I———” She hesitated for a moment before coming to terms with it. “I have to finish everything before Paris is crowned.”

Her eyes, resembling the sunset, stared at Uriel’s ocean eyes.

He looked as if he had the power to keep her strong and intact, and she could never take her eyes off him.
