【Special Side Story Episode 3】

Right after the wedding, Kail hurriedly gathered the dwarves to discuss his first night with Aisha.

No matter how well he could take human form, he was still a Maein and wasn’t accustomed to human life.

This meant that while he knew there was something called a ‘first night,’ he didn’t know what it actually involved.

So he wanted to use the dwarves’ curiosity to find out how he should spend the night with Aisha.

‘Your Majesty. The process of a couple spending the night together for the sake of an heir is both quiet and passionate.’

‘Quiet yet passionate. That’s as unrealistic as sweating in the middle of the North.’

‘Your Majesty. You do occasionally sweat due to tremendous physical exertion.’

‘Right. That means my comparison is quite realistic.’

And a little later—

After learning the detailed process, Kail’s face turned bright red like a young boy experiencing his first love.

But when he heard an ‘important fact’ from the dwarves, his expression hardened coldly.

‘Aisha could be in pain?’

‘Some pain may be induced, but if Your Majesty comforts her well…’

‘If we don’t do it at all, there won’t be any pain, right?’

That was it.

Whatever the process entailed, if it involved Aisha’s sacrifice, it became meaningless.

In the end, he half-listened to the dwarves’ education and decided to avoid his first night with Aisha.

By transforming into a white leopard, that is.

‘But transforming into a monster will be difficult while traveling. Then I’ll have to face Aisha at night.’

“Your Majesty— Your Majesty!”

No matter how much his aide called, he couldn’t hear while lost in thought.

Then, remembering something Aisha had said, a good idea occurred to him.

“…That should be enough to avoid the night.”

* * *

Once the entry permit sent to the Kingdom of Lepta was approved, Kail and I departed immediately.

We took a portal from the North to the edge of the Frozen Empire, then sailed for a week.

Realizing for the first time that I got seasick, I lay in bed all day feeling miserable.

“Kail, I’m fine…”

“Anyone can see you’re not fine. So please don’t be stubborn.”

“But… urgh.”

I couldn’t give up.

“Your bare chest… ugh!”

I had come prepared to have an amazing first night.

Whenever I dry heaved, Kail would pat my back with a restless expression.

He even sang lullabies when I slept to help me forget the seasickness, so he definitely saw me as a baby rather than a wife.

It was frustrating, but what could I do.

In this state, I couldn’t feel excitement, let alone create a pleasant atmosphere.

But after a week passed and the ship entered the Kingdom of Lepta’s territory, the surrounding air began to change.

“We’ll arrive soon! Please prepare to disembark!”

Humid wind passed through my neck and hair.

The weather became drastically hotter, and with the intense sunlight, the familiar salty smell of the sea suddenly overwhelmed my senses.

Squinting due to the bright light, I began to see a massive island above the blue horizon of the sea.

An island built of sand. We had arrived at the Kingdom of Lepta.

Suddenly my heart began to race.

“Kail, I think we’ve finally arrived! Look at those buildings and the castle. It’s completely opposite from the North. Doesn’t it look like a really elaborate sand castle?”

“Yeah. It’s hot.”

Kail had unbuttoned a couple of shirt buttons and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows.

Probably because he was born in the North, he seemed to feel the heat much more than others.

By the way… his forearms revealed under the sleeves were much thicker than I’d expected.

Even though it might be casual exposure, it somehow caught my attention.

Glancing at Kail, I decided to tell him how to beat the heat.

“If you’re hot, take it off. They say everyone goes around naked here.”

Then the corners of Kail’s mouth curved slightly.

He crossed his arms and leaned forward as if he knew all my wicked thoughts.

“If I take it off, what are you planning to do to me?”

His low voice with subtle laughter wrapped around my ears.

Why is he so sly during the day but sings lullabies like a nanny at night?

“What do you mean what. I’d just say it’s cool—. That’s all.”

‘Ahem.’

Just as I cleared my throat unnecessarily and turned my head away, the ship stopped.

“Disembarking!”

Thank you, Captain. You’re changing the situation at just the right time.

“Kail, let’s get off! We need to travel, travel!”

Grabbing his hand firmly, I walked quickly.

I felt a displeased gaze from behind, but fortunately Kail obediently followed me.

Now the preparations were complete.

Getting off the ship would cure my seasickness, and the Kingdom of Lepta’s uniquely free atmosphere would create romantic situations…

‘Good. I’ll take the lead in every situation!’

As I disembarked triumphantly, the Kingdom of Lepta’s representatives who had been waiting bowed their heads.

However.

“King Kail. And Queen Aisha. Thank you for your hard journey. Welcome to the Kingdom of Lepta.”

“Welcome to the Kingdom of Lepta—!”

The men greeting us, why are they all naked?

“…Hic!”

I hiccupped involuntarily at the parade of sun-tanned, robust skin.

Kail sighed and covered my eyes.

Right. I was so focused on thinking about Kail that I didn’t consider this.

That not just Kail, but everyone here lived half-naked.

* * *

“Hahaha, so that’s why Kail kept covering Aisha’s eyes! I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time!”

Raser Amen, the King of the Kingdom of Lepta, burst into laughter.

Sitting sideways on a long sofa instead of a chair, resting his chin on his hand, he looked like a lion taking a nap in the middle of a meadow.

Next to him, Queen Neperia Amen, who was also sprawled comfortably across a sofa, giggled.

“When I heard a couple from the edge of the North was coming for their honeymoon, I had quite high expectations, and you really exceeded them. Thank you for showing us such an interesting cultural difference.”

“If you’re grateful, please button up your clothes.”

Kail said with a stern expression.

Unlike the sprawled Lepta royal couple, we sat with proper posture on one sofa.

Of course, since my vision was still blocked, I didn’t know ‘how much’ they were sprawled out.

But telling them to button up their clothes.

How boldly you disparage another’s culture in their own kingdom, Kail.

I smiled sweetly and struggled to grab his wrist covering my eyes and pull it down.

“Ha ha, ha… Kail. Since the climate here is humid, it’s natural for clothing to be revealing. But criticizing someone’s attire…”

However, my mouth, which had been trying to lighten the mood, suddenly closed.

When Kail sighed and slowly lowered his hand, I caught sight of the couple who looked like a lion and lioness of the meadow.

Seeing that, my eyes automatically narrowed.

“…Not bad.”

“Pardon?”

The surprised Lepta couple’s eyes widened.

‘Oh no, I misspoke!’

I quickly slapped my mouth with my palm and smiled brightly.

“No, not just not bad level- I meant it was truly insulting. Hahaha, I’ll educate my husband myself. I’m sorry.”

“Not at all. Looking at both of your outfits, I can understand why you’d be surprised. This is exactly what I was hoping for when you said you were coming to visit! I wanted to see you both shocked and stunned when you saw us.”

The royal couple of the Kingdom of Lepta were fortunately quite merciful.

Beyond merciful, they seemed quite free-spirited, I’d say.

Queen Neperia raised both hands and suggested.

“In any case, I hope you’ll take comfortable rest while you’re here. It’s not dinner time yet, so let’s gather in the dining room around 6 PM later. Until then, the assigned attendants will guide you to your quarters, and if you wish, they’ll even serve as travel guides.”

“Thank you.”

Having finished the conversation, I came outside dragging Kail who was pouting with his lips stuck out.

“Kail. Why did a Maein who’s learned everything he needs to learn suddenly become a child? Don’t you know it’s rude to say such things so openly?”

“Aisha, I’m sorry but I have the right not to look at that too.”

“That’s true, but… still! You came here knowing about this place’s culture before traveling. You can’t show your distaste.”

“But then!”

Kail, who looked completely wronged by my words, muttered quietly.
