chapter 36

The softly whispered voice was exquisite, sending shivers deep into her being. Eileen felt a tingling sensation in her stomach. She didn't understand the connection between singing and kissing, but blushing, she earnestly replied to the question.

"I'm tone-deaf…"

"Shall we go for a walk in the garden? There won't be many visitors this way."

Visiting the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor resided, was rare, and even if they did, there would hardly be time to leisurely stroll through the gardens. Eileen agreed to Cesare's suggestion to visit the garden.

Her face remained exposed. Cesare had directly requested her to stay this way since there were hardly any people passing by at this time. He said he wanted to talk while looking into her eyes.

Despite finding his unsettling gaze uncomfortable, for the sake of Cesare, who always spoke kindly, Eileen decided to show her face for a while.
