Chapter 26

Cho Shiye arrived at the main gate entrance of the palace. She felt tired as she walked inside with Kang In-eun, she didn't feel like talking so she mostly listens to what Kang In-eun has to say. Afterall, she does have a lot she wants to say.

"Shiye!" Kim Hae-yoon greeted her with a smile as she ran towards her, Kim Hae-yoon was sweating, as if she had run a mile.

Cho Shiye smiled, seeing that Kim Hae-yoon was about to hug her, she opened her arms and accepted Kim Hae-yoon's warm embrace.

"Did you have fun?" Kim Hae-yoon asked as she broke their hug and smiled at Cho Shiye.

"Yes." Cho Shiye responded with a smile, deciding not to tell Kim Hae-yoon about the incident so as to not worry her. "How about you? What were you doing that made you sweat like this?" She inquired.

"Oh, this?" Kim Hae-yoon laughed. "I was just doing some extra work." She replied as she took her hands. "Anyways, you must be tired. Let's rest up before eating dinner."

Kang In-eun who was left in the corner felt like cringing, 'Oh god, they're at it again.'

Kim Hae-yoon noticed her and smiled warmly.

"You must be tired too, you can take a rest in the palace and you can join us for dinner." She said calmly as Kang In-eun nodded.

"Yeah, I'm quite tired. Thank you for your offer, your majesty." Kang In-eun replied as Kim Hae-yoon looked at the maid robot and gestured for it to escort her.

Kim Hae-yoon focused her gaze at Cho Shiye as she smiled sweetly and walked together side by side, holding hands.

"What did you guys do today?" Kim Hae-yoon asked.

"We went around shopping and eating at the newly opened cafe and ate some ice cream before going home." Cho Shiye replied, her eyes felt heavy and she held Kim Hae-yoon for support.

Noticing this, Kim Hae-yoon wrapped her hands around Cho Shiye. "I see, it must be super fun." She replied. "Let's continue our chat later, for now let me…" Kim Hae-yoon carried Cho Shiye gently.

"W-what are you doing?!" Cho Shiye shouted, panicked and embarrassment was displayed on her face as she blushed. "Let me down." She demanded as Kim Hae-yoon smiled cheekily at her.

"I know you're tired and we still have a long way before we reach the side palace, so you can rest comfortably in my arms." Kim Hae-yoon explained as Cho Shiye blushed.

'I don't know if I'll be able to rest at all!' Cho Shiye thought to herself as her chest pounds loudly.

"Let me down!" Cho Shiye ordered as it fell of deaf ears.

"Nuh-uh." Kim Hae-yoon replied with a smirk. "Not unless you kiss me." She teased.

Both Kim Hae-yoon and Cho Shiye were shocked at what Kim Hae-yoon had spoken as they became silent, darting their eyes away from one another as they blushed.

'By the Gods!! Why did I say that?!' Kim Hae-yoon wanted to scream.

The servants who were following them closely were all smiles as they saw the harmonious relationship of their two masters.

'The Empress sure dotes on the Empress' consort a lot.' They all thought in unison. 'Maybe in just a few months time the palace would be busy with a little one running around.'

They nodded their head with a smile, their mind wandering around, imagining the future little princesses running around the palace.

"Fufufu." Court Lady Ahn, who was following them along with the other servants, mumbled.

"Are you really not going to let me down?" Cho Shiye asked, after a few minutes in Kim Hae-yoon's arms.

Kim Hae-yoon blushed and nodded, opening her mouth to answer yes but was interrupted by Cho Shiye's lips pressing against her cheeks. Her eyes widened in shock as she froze up.

Seeing that Kim Hae-yoon was flustered, Cho Shiye took the opportunity to get off Kim Hae-yoon and ran. Seeing Cho Shiye running frantically, Kim Hae-yoon followed her.

"S-shiye! Wait!" Kim Hae-yoon shouted but Cho Shiye ran faster than she ever could.

'Aren't omegas supposed to be weak? Why does she run so fast?' Kim Hae-yoon asked herself as she remembered the details of this world's biology. 'Well, that just means my wife is very strong!' she giggled.

"Shiye~ Wait for me~" Kim Hae-yoon said in a tone that sounds as if she's coaxing Cho Shiye.

The servants tried to follow their masters but were left behind as they saw the Empress' grinning face following the Empress' consort who's blushing to the point her face had turned red.

"Truly harmonious!" They all said in unison.

*****

Kim Hae-yoon arrived at their room that was locked, she tried to open it but was denied by the robot, stating that Cho Shiye didn't permit her entry.

"Shiye~ It's me, Kim Hae-yoon, your wife." Kim Hae-yoon teased, her tone turning soft as she tried to hold back her laughter. "Open the door, please?" she pleaded, looking at the monitor as she pouted, her expression looking aggrieved like a puppy.

"No." Cho Shiye replied sternly as it rang through the speaker.

"Please?" Kim Hae-yoon begged. "It's so cold out here and I'm drenched in sweat, I'm so tired from running around that my legs are shaking and I'm so miserable, woo, woo, woo." Kim Hae-yoon pretended to cry as the door opened.

She was greeted by Cho Shiye who was frowning and looked at her with a scowl.

'Ah. I'm dead.' Kim Hae-yoon thought to herself as she smiled deprecatingly.

"Hahaha…" Kim Hae-yoon laughed awkwardly. "H-hi, Shiye…"

"Come inside." Cho Shiye ordered as Kim Hae-yoon stood up straight and saluted.

"Yes, ma'am!" Kim Hae-yoon responded as she walked inside like a soldier that made Cho Shiye chuckled.

"Idiot." Cho Shiye mumbled quietly.

"Yes?" Kim Hae-yoon asked as she looked back at Cho Shiye. "Did you say something, Shiye?" She asked.

"Nothing." Cho Shiye replied coldly. "Now go sit on the ground." She ordered.

"Yes, ma'am!" Kim Hae-yoon shouted and followed her orders like a big puppy as she smiled innocently.
