The Crown Prince held onto my dress and shouted as if he beg for me. It was more like plea than proposing.

The ring was incomplete, and he didn't even propose. "Your Highness."

I looked at him with a little surprised look in front of me.

He was an indomitable crown prince who led the conquest war to victory and proudly returned to the capital.

And now when I have no power to interfere, I see a man who will become an emperor with absolute power desperately asking me to marry him.

I felt so strange.

"You wouldn't have had to kneel on both your knees"

"It's embarrassing, so answer quickly. You're gonna marry me, aren't you? Huh?" As soon as I looked down at him, Calisto spat out quickly.

The face that seemed impatience approached strangely. 'So you know it's embarrassing.'

Suddenly my laughed leak out.

I was so angry when he pushed for marriage.

But seeing him looking up at me pitifully, it was a little....

'It's kind of cute, too.'

"You know I just teasing you, right?"

I shook my head to the thought that i was finally taste it and said. "I'll tell Cedric everything."

"I don't care."

I definitely knew Callisto was going to get up.

But he still muttered with a stiff face, not getting up. "What's the big deal with such teasing if I can marry you." ""

"And if you do it, I'll slit their neck." 'Yes, of course.'

My heart who pounding for a while returned to its original state.

I looked at him with a cold face, sighed and slowly kneel together in front of him. "Your Highness."

The prince's face was all white as to what I imagined when he saw me making eye contact without giving an answer.

I reached out my hand and brought it to the corners of his bright red eyes, and then swept it gently.

And in a quiet voice, I spoke out what i had never said. "I, I want to study."

"Archaeological, are you mean that?"

"Yeah. I told you, I was a scholar at the place I originally lived." Callisto wriggled his eyebrows as if he didn't like what I said. But he managed not to cut off my words and listened quietly.

"I want to do what I've been doing here. There's a lot of unexplored artifacts and civilizations here. Maybe there's a place that needs my help."

"...."

"You've already forgotten? you told me to stay because you'd do whatever I wanted." I stopped talking and look into Calisto's eyes.

'You said it, but I wouldn't say it with a bite.' It was with the thought. After a long time, the prince's lips were opened.

"I'm not telling you not to." "Then?"

"They're all things you can do after you get married."

"As you already know, I'm also interested in entering Academy." "You can do that after the wedding."

I shouted dumbfounded at him who was being unreasonable. "Does it make sense that the empress goes to the academy?"

"Why not? We can make it sense. If you are not comfortable with the gaze of an others, we can bring all the professors to palace."
