You truly do love being in my arms.
The stoic and indifferent Emperor loves cats that much?
Lately, rumors have been spreading like wildfire through the palace of the Eunwol Empire that the Emperor always carries a certain black cat in his arms. They say his cold, expressionless face softens like melting spring snow only when he is holding that cat.
It all started a year ago when he spotted a shivering black cat in the rain while traveling incognito and brought it back to the palace.
Under his personal care in his private chambers, the scrawny, pitiful cat grew plump and its fur gained a lustrous sheen. Finding solace in the small creature whenever he grew weary of the headaches of state affairs, the Emperor came to cherish it even more dearly.
Then, one night.
The Emperor, who had fallen asleep holding the cat as usual, opened his eyes at a strange sensation against his fingertips.
And there he saw it.
A strange human lying in his arms.
The Emperor's bedchamber was a scene no different from any other. On this night, as the moonlight seeped softly through the window, Seo Hwi, having finished his bath and changed his clothes, gave a faint smile upon seeing the cat lying there quietly as if waiting for him. He lay down on the bed and pulled the plump black cat into his arms. As the lustrous, soft fur and warm body heat touched him, the fatigue of the day vanished in an instant.
Let us sleep now.
Seo Hwi closed his eyes, slowly stroking the fur as he held the cat close. He had become so accustomed to the warmth in his arms that he could no longer fall asleep without holding this soft ball of fluff.
...So warm.
Muttering softly, Seo Hwi soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
A few hours later...
He suddenly felt a strange sense of incongruity. Instead of the warm ball of fur he should have felt in his arms, a smooth, excessively human-like texture brushed against his bare skin.
...Human-like?
In an instant, Seo Hwi's eyes snapped open. And there he saw it. A strange human with black hair, lying right there in his arms.
