Remarried Empress

p>“Queen?”

It looked like him, but how could be here? I walked over to the window to open it, and the large bird hopped inside the room.

“Queen!”

It was really Queen.
For whatever reason, my eyes started to sting with tears.

“How did you come here, Queen? Were you looking for me? ”

Queen nodded, then wrapped his wings around me in an embrace.

“Queen?”

It was as if he were trying to comfort me.
No matter how large a bird was, it couldn’t be bigger than a human, so Queen’s wings didn’t completely cover me.
He wrapped himself around me as much as he could, however, and my heart was moved by his effort.
I kissed him on the forehead and he froze as usual, but he did not pull away.

Was he really trying to cheer me up? I had heard that some animals could instinctively sense human emotions.
Perhaps Queen knew what I was thinking and didn’t even realize it.

I pulled him away from my arms and set him on my lap to hug him again.

“I might not be able to live without you, Queen.”

– !

“What if you have to go back to the Western Kingdom?”

– …

“Should I follow you?”

Queen nodded enthusiastically and cawed.

“Where on earth did Prince Heinley get a handsome boy like you?”

As if trying to make himself look more beautiful, he widened his claws and looked at me with large, clear eyes.

-“Should I bring a bird the same kind as Queen?”

– !

“Queen, if I get you a baby brother will you be nice to him?”

This time Queen shook his head violently, and I couldn’t help but double over in laughter.
Suddenly—

“Your Majesty!”

Countess Jubel burst into the drawing room.
She looked surprised to see Queen in my arms, but she shook her head as if it were not the time.

“Your Majesty, the Emperor has collapsed!”

What?

“Where is he now?”

“We moved him to a nearby vacant room and called the official.”

“Send him to the capital and tell him to bring a doctor.
Just in case.”

I hurriedly stood up and set Queen down by the window sill.
He looked like he didn’t want to go, but I couldn’t play with him now.

“Be a good boy.
Go to your master, Queen.
Ah, wait.
Countess Jubel.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Please give Queen some water.
He flew a long way.”

“Yes.”

“Queen, get some water and rest before going back, alright?”

I kissed Queen on the forehead and rushed out of the room.
