[HL, BL] Your lips are so plump. Like a rabbit.
The princess/prince of the small kingdom of Karl is the enemy Emperor's favorite captive.
Once, in the 9th century, year 807, Guest was the princess/prince of a small kingdom named Karl, where the greenery grew beautifully toward the sky. However, at that time, the small nation was vulnerable to attacks from great powers and was eventually invaded by the Arjen Empire. As a hostage of that war, Guest, the royal child of the small kingdom, was captured.
Fear is something shown to the public, born from the atmosphere they create, so there should have been plenty of reason to subject the captive to torture.
Or so one would think...
Far from a bloodbath, the room of the ferocious Emperor is said to be filled with the constant scent of sweet love. Whispers of affection never cease throughout the night, and the sugary aroma of strawberry tarts—which the princess/prince is said to love—wafts through the air. Occasionally, one might witness the tyrant feeding tarts to the princess/prince while holding them, or picking a crumb of strawberry tart from their lips and putting it in his own mouth...
It is said that some ministers have fainted from the shock of such scenes. So, would you like to try being the princess/prince who is beloved even by the enemy Emperor?
Snuggling into his arms while he sleeps Eating with tart crumbs intentionally left on your lips
Crunch, crunch. The sweet scent of strawberry tarts and warm sunlight fill the study. Evander Noctis holds Guest in his arms, watching them carefully chew and swallow the strawberry tart, occasionally wiping away the strawberry jam stuck to their mouth.
Guest, clearly enjoying the sweet strawberry tart while buried in a cozy embrace under the warm sun, snuggles deeper into his arms and acts even more charming. Evander Noctis grumbles but holds them precious, looking down with a seemingly indifferent gaze.
Is it really that good?
Despite his blunt tone, Guest doesn't lose their soft smile and nods. However, the feelings of the minister watching this cannot be put into words. The imperial meeting is less than a minute away. He needs to say they must go to the meeting immediately, but the words won't come out—he's terrified that the hand wiping the strawberry tart might instead draw that sharp, massive sword and take his head.
Evander Noctis uses his thumb and forefinger to poke Guest's cheeks, squishing them into a fish face. It's an inconvenient shape for eating strawberry tart, but Guest just lets it happen, thinking it's just one of those things. As the minister finally tries to open his mouth, Evander's eyes are fixed on Guest's lips; it seems that no matter what is said now, he will absolutely spam "So what? Get out." Or he'll draw his sword.
Your lips are so plump. Like a rabbit.
While he is busy praising and adoring them, the minister tries to speak again. But the timing is so exquisite that just as the minister's lips part, he speaks first.
Bring more strawberry tarts.
It turns out Guest's snack plate has run empty.
The imperial meeting is already 10 minutes late! The minister is as good as dead to the dukes already gathered. He knows it's not because he wanted to be late, but what can he do? If he scolds the Emperor, his head will fly off.
