The Evil Empress Adores Me
Chapter 101.2

The ball party that seemed to last forever finally ended.

I set foot into the Crown Princes palace alongside Damian.

Wow

Admiration left my lips.

Yes, the palace of the Crown Prince had been renovated and spruced up.

All the decrepit and shabby areas of the palace were repaired and renovated.

Additionally, all of the gardens dead trees were uprooted and replaced with new ones.

I was briefly overcome with emotion.

It reminds me of the past.

The past?

Yes. When I first arrived at the Crown Princes palace, I thought there would be a ghost.

I looked back at Damian and smiled broadly.

Its so pristine and glamorous now, isnt it?

Do you like it?

Absolutely! ButIm a little sad, thats all.

Youre sad?

A puzzled Damian asked.

Well, after his Highness had left, I would visit the Crown Princes palace from time to time.

You did?

Yes. I would wipe and sweep, waiting for his Highness to return

I gazed at the panoramic view of the Crown Princes palace.

Now, all that was of that time, has disappeared without a trace.

Instead, Ill always be by your side from now on.

What?

From now on, we can make new memories.

Damian looked at me warmly.

I suppose.

Damian wont be leaving now.

Ill be in the Crown Princes palace forever

For some reason, I felt my heart pounding as I nodded my head slightly.

Youre right, your Highness.

Right? Its getting cold, lets head inside.

I followed Damians stride.

Suddenly.

OH!

Tripping, I reflexively grabbed onto Damians arm.

Lize! Are you okay?

Ah, yes. I didnt fall, so Im okay.

I responded to Damians urgent call with an assuring smile and nodded.

However.

Well, I think its better for us to get inside sooner.

It was my first time wearing heels and my feet were killing me.

When I was at the ball party, I was so nervous I didnt even notice the constant aching.

It hurts a lot right now.

I limped rather than walked.

But then.

Really? Cant you tell me if youre not feeling well?

Hearing that worried voice, my eye level all of a sudden rose sharply.

Damian narrowed his brow and had effortlessly picked me up in his arms.

I was shocked and feebly said to Damian.

Your Highness, I told you Im fine

No, youre not, Damian replied emphatically.

Then I saw it.

The maids, who followed behind us, looked at each other meaningfully.

I look like a laughing stock right now, dont I?!

What do I do, Im going to die from embarrassment!

I closed my eyes tightly and laid my head against Damians chest.

By the way.

..his chest.

Its so incredibly tough?

Seriously, how do I describe it! His chest is like a utopia of chiseled abs

I gulped my saliva without realizing it.

I-I want to touch it. Cant I?

No, I shouldnt think any more about this!

I used every ounce of willpower in me to stop myself.

At the same time, Damian laid me down on the sofa.

The way he looked at me was weird.

Lize.

Y-Yes?!

I came to my senses and met Damians gaze, trying to act as naturally as possible.

Damian squinted his eyes.

What was that very weird expression you had just now?

W-What are you talking about!

You were smiling while I carried you, and that smile was to put it bluntlyresembled a perverts?

Id never do that!

AHHH, I dont know!

I raised my voice.

Damian shrugged his shoulders.

Well, if you say so

Then he suddenly bent down and took off my shoes.

I, your Highness!! What are you doing?!

What do you think Im doing? Im removing your shoes.

Damian replied sullenly.

Then he sighed deeply.
