Breeding Season - Chapter 52
Lord Yasamin, without changing at all from the appearance she had encountered at the age of seven, met the adult Hiyes again.
The shock she received at that time was beyond measure.
‘There’s also an absurd rumor going around that the King made a Diet with the Princess of Wilkeron…’
It must be a groundless rumor.
Since the identity the King assumed this time was that of a gladiatorial slave, there were quite a few groundless rumors circulating.
Hiyes was never swayed or bothered by such things.
She knew his true nature. She also knew what his true appearance was, only she in this world.
“The preparations are complete.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Hiyes stared intently at the mirror.
Her swaying silver hair was like the Milky Way that adorned the sky. Her red eyes, infused with the essence of the Nu tribe, sparkled enchantingly like rubies.
She was, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman in the South, and she was full of confidence in herself.
Not only her appearance but also her abilities were outstanding.
‘The King wanted to find Aquafuran. So, through long prayers, I found out where Aquafuran was reborn.’
It was she who fulfilled the King’s secret wish.
It was also she who deduced where she was.
With this much, wouldn’t the King treat her specially? Hiyes dared to hope so.
She wanted to be the closest being to him. She said she deserved it.
“Lady Hiyes, the King has arrived.”
Finally!
She, who had been quietly waiting, beautifully adorned, jumped up from her seat and ran.
Her smooth hair and skirt swayed in the process. Her skin, which was whiter than that of other Southerners, had a blush, making her so alluring.
People who saw such Hiyes took a breath and lowered their heads.
Because she was so beautiful that it was difficult to look at her directly.
“Your Majesty!”
After a while, Hiyes stood in front of the huge gate, very excited.
A white carriage led by four camels slowly approached.
Soon, the person she so longed for would get off from there. And as always……!
“……?”
What is it?
In an instant, the smile disappeared from Hiyes’ face.
The King was as always. But he was also different.
Someone was being held preciously in his strong arms. Unable to believe what she was seeing, she parted her lips slightly.
A sack? A baby carrier? No, what is it?
While her eyes were shaking, unable to believe it, the King indifferently passed by her.
Caring only for the thing in his arms.
‘……Scent.’
What was hidden under the cloth with elaborate patterns was definitely a woman. Black hair flowed out and swayed like darkness.
Moreover, there was even the scent of expensive perfume……
‘A princess.’
Thump, her heart sank.
Until now, the King had never given attention to any woman, not even a pet. She wondered if he had a taste for boys because he didn’t hold women, but that wasn’t the case either.
The King was perfect and flawless just by existing, and he was not intoxicated by affection nor did he lust for carnal desire.
That was why he gained respect.
‘The one whom I am worthy to love and yearn for.’
But he was bringing in someone like a skinny, unfamiliar stray dog.
“Eltan. The room?”
“Everything has been prepared as you ordered.”
“Guide me.”
The low voice was surprisingly gentle.
With that, Hiyes knew that this princess had not seduced the King, nor had the King gone crazy.
The King cherished the princess of his own will.
His Diet.
‘But how can that be? When I asked for a Diet, you refused outright.’
She couldn’t understand. She couldn’t accept it, nor could she tolerate it.
Watching the King’s receding back, she pressed her nails deeply into her palm until it was dented.
Otherwise, she felt like she would collapse as it was.
Tears, tears welled up.

After bringing Siren into the prepared room, Yasamin quietly laid her down on the soft bedding.
She was so exhausted that Siren didn’t wake up even once while he was doing that.
“At this rate, anyone could take her away and she wouldn’t even know. Huh?”
He casually spoke to her, but it wasn’t his intention to wake her up. It was fun to watch her round face asleep.
“Your Majesty. Were there any inconveniences on the way?”
“Uh.”
“Then the report……”
“I’ll receive it now. Go out.”
Eltan seemed to have a lot to say.
As expected, it’s work as soon as he arrives.
Yasamin left Siren alone and moved his unhurrying steps.
“The women selected from Wilkeron arrived yesterday.”
