It’s only when you’re at death’s door that you feel the most alive.
My heart stopped beating and it’s because of this unrealistically handsome emperor. I swore with embarrassment as I slowly approached him.
‘Damn it! Damn it! You are so handsome! How are you even human?’
It took everything I had to not ruin the bouquet in my hands. The closer I got to the Emperor, the clearer I can see his face. My own heart beats could be heard from my chest.
Thump thump thump thump!
I took another short breath. I’m now just a hundred meters away from him and his beauty is beyond what I imagined.
Holy shit. Nobody told me you were this handsome!
…No. Everyone said it. I just never believed them.
Quote: ‘His Majesty’s face is a beacon of light in the darkness.’
Quote: ‘His Majesty walks elegantly even without walking on the ground.’
Quote: ‘His Majesty is beautiful when he exhales and beautiful when he inhales.’
He was exactly as the rumors said.
“Oh my, oh my!” I cried out in my heart as I came even closer.
The Emperor. It’s the Emperor!
I glanced up at him secretly. It was the real Emperor Alexander Tallan. In a secret book about the Emperor it was written that he started from the bustle of the battlefields at age 13 and sat at the throne at the age of 20. Even after becoming the emperor, he kept his position in the army, maintaining the inside and outside affairs of the country well. He is not merely the head of the state, but the supreme power of a true emperor that rules the empire.
The prestige of his title matched his face. But there was one more thing that contributed to his dignity.
It was his handsomeness.
His good looks were something that humans can’t handle for too long.There are no imperfections in any inch of his body. A strong forehead, thick and straight eyebrows, a cold but gentle demeanor, bright blue diamond eyes, a sharp nose, and a smooth jaw… What flaws? His face is pure perfection.
I now know why his portrait was hidden. No artist could capture him. It would be an insult to the Emperor, no blasphemy towards God. If any exist, I will burn it.
My stride, which was faltering due to the tension, gained momentum at some point. I had a determined march that held no motivation other than heading towards him.
The Emperor stared at me and stood as still as a sculpture. He blinked, but didn’t turn his eyes away.
“Oh lord…”
It was a coincidence that our eyes met. Immediately my soul was laid to rest as I saw the Emperor’s face. My soul has abandoned me.
I walked with a dumbfounded face. The Emperor was constantly meeting my eyes with an unreadable expression. The more we stared at each other, the more and more I felt my soul leave my body.
He’s handsome. He’s so handsome. He’s so fucking handsome!
Oh my gosh there are people that exist in the Capital that are this beautiful. No, it may just be this person. His good looks are the light of this world. They are the truth of this world!
As my soul left me, I reached enlightenment. In my head, there is a fire in the lake of virtuous delusion, but the lake was filled with oil instead of water. I’m gonna explode.
I eventually arrived at the predetermined spot, but my dazed head forgot what I’m supposed to be doing. My burning eyes were staring at the Emperor.
That… That good looking… Something… Somehow…
“Ahem.” Madam Rurin cleared her throat and brought me back to reality. I steeled my mind. Now is not the time for some personal enlightenment! We’re in public. As a daughter of a rural village lord, I have a job to do.
“We welcome Your Great Majesty Alexander’s visit. There is no place where the glory of Your Majesty does not extend…” This was a phrase that I could say while asleep. I had to practice this for a month until it was perfect. My mouth moved mechanically while saying these lines as I couldn’t take my eyes off his face. The Emperor also never took his eyes off of me.
A face whose beauty was beyond human limitations is looking at me. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Wow, this isn’t a joke. I always questioned why I’m living inside this body. Compared to my previous life, I didn’t live a happier or better one. I wondered why God put me in this world to live as a daughter of a plain old rural village lord?
I finally found my answer.
It was to meet him in this world. I’m super happy to live well under this handsome Majesty’s reign!
“… All hail the Emperor!” This last part was to honor the Emperor. I memorized the greeting earlier, but it was only this time that my heart was fully in it. I could not be any more serious than this moment. The Emperor’s majestic aura was too compelling.
“All hail the Emperor!” The other people who were standing in the room, replied all at once.
I put all my strength into my arms to raise them higher and took one step forward. The Emperor was high up, riding on horseback, so I pushed the bouquet up until the flowers covered his face. After a pause, the leaves on its side fell with a rustling sound and my hands became lighter.
The Emperor was armed with a light, worn armor and sword. It was a practical outfit instead of something fit for a regal ruler. The rustic bouquet made from Gundal looked mismatched with the heavily armed Emperor; however, his cool and neat face suits it well. I can see a new world in which a man with flowers can be a beautiful sight.
My legs gave out on me at the end, but I had to quickly get up at the sound of Madam Rurin’s cry. My watching of the Emperor was interrupted. When will he come again? My heart feels so soothed just by seeing him.
The Emperor didn’t turn his eyes away and looked straight ahead. His gaze fell when he bowed his head, but when I looked up at him he was already facing the far left.
My role is over. Now is the time to withdraw. I sullenly walked away while grabbing my chest.
“Miss you did well,” praised the maid who was waiting for my return.
“Yea…” I nodded my head, but didn’t really hear her.
The next part of the ceremony is a short speech from the Emperor. He slowly lifted his hand. It was a small movement, but it touched my heart so much that my chest felt like it was going to burst.
I just realized a big problem… I couldn’t capture any of this on video! My face fell with despair as I feel like dying from this tragedy. Oh what a sad situation this is! But even if I’m at death’s door, I must give all my attention to His Majesty. I focused all my power into my eyes and ears.
The Emperor slowly opened his mouth. “The Empire was built for peace,” he spoke with a deep and perfect voice that blessed everyone’s ears.
I clutched at my sullen heart and tried to focus. I was still not used to the expressions in this world yet. There are quite a few phrases that I’ve never heard before. However the Emperor’s words were very captivating, like the pronunciation of great philosophers, we were all eager to listen.
“There will be no forgiveness to those who threaten the peace.” A monarch’s cold warning. If he was an enemy this would have been eerie, but since he’s on our side it’s reassuring to hear it. My heart did a backflip. “Peace will be kept wherever the Empire is. I will make sure of it.”
I was impressed to tears and I hurriedly looked around my surroundings because I was worried someone would notice me trembling.
“…Sniff.”
“…Kuh…!”
There was no need for me to worry, because everyone was touched by his words. I quickly looked at my second brother and saw him biting his fist with tears pouring down and looked away. I didn’t see anything.
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, he turned his head and went down the podium. His guard followed after him.
“Woah! All hail the Emperor! Your Majesty!”
“All hail the Emperor!”
Following after the beautiful Emperor were euphoric cheers. We did not prepare this in advance; the cries came out without us knowing. I was shouting along the trail and screaming enough for my chest to burst and my throat to feel raw. I screamed so much with the same energy as I had when I first heard him speak. My screams almost seemed to climb up to the heavens.
“AHHH! Hurrah to the Emperor! Our Majesty!”
