The Reason for Marriage Chapter 35.1

However, he was just trying to make fun of it impulsively, thinking the gap between them was disgusting. But her face, who responded with a clearer and more businesslike attitude than expected, was just confident. So, he delayed the approval of the report and looked at her with a twirling smile.

“Why don't you show a little more love and attention like you do to your sweethearts? Ah, but it was fun to see how you felt with all this reasoning.”

Iveca felt like her ears were burning. What the hell were you saying about all the crazy stuff at a drinking party… But she could not refuse the King's offer. Believing in Daniel's humanity, whom she had met for a month, she continued with closed eyes.

“Well, it doesn't just end with these words.”

She continued, judging that it would be better to change the person in charge by hurting Daniel's feelings or not at all than to suffer until Kayden returned by vaguely wrapping it up.

“One cannot show enough love and attention in a short time without touching fingertips.”

Daniel, who seemed relaxed at those words, smiled as if he was bewildered. Iveca quickly bit her lips, wondering if it was the right decision to say such words. But Daniel clouded her thoughts as if he were more embarrassed about it.

“What do you mean… Fingertips…”

It was as if a child were rambling. Iveca replied cautiously, blinking her eyes.

“It means physical contact.”

Silence passed for a moment. It was the first time that the King, who had always taken the initiative in dialogue, showed such unnatural embarrassment. Iveca looked at Daniel quietly as she said hurriedly.

“Whoever it is, it makes me feel guilty to think that way about someone who isn't married…”

Iveca's mouth opened, noticing that Daniel's tone of voice continued as if he was making an excuse and that there was a sense of shame talking about this topic. What kind of king is suddenly ashamed of such a subject! It seemed like it was the first time that the two of them talked about such a physical relationship.

Somehow dumbfounded, Iveca asked blankly. There was a royal order to speak comfortably.

“Excuse me, Your Majesty…. With a woman… Have you ever held hands?”

“When dancing or escorting?”

As she heard his voice grow quieter, Iveca forgot she was trembling a little ago and asked carefully one more time.

“Ha, have you ever kissed?”

“I've never imagined it. It's just that the idea itself…”

Iveca spoke bluntly to the shy King, as she worried about the future successor of the Amethan royal family.

“I don't think it's a guilty thing to think about someone who's not married. In particular, Your Majesty cannot be free from future succession issues. If the Queen cannot have a child, you also need to have one from the concubine… It's also the weight of the throne. Maintain the Amethan dynasty. It is a continuation of the 1,000-year history that has been passed down until now.”

“But…”

“It's natural, so you should never feel guilty. The previous King loved one woman, but he had three concubines. If he had only had a relationship with the woman he loved, you would not have been born in this world.”

Iveca paused for a while because she felt that she shouldn't have said the last word. Why did she make so many non-considerate remarks today? Perhaps it was because His Majesty, who always flowed softly like water, was dealing with her in a way that was different from his usual attire and tone. Because he was the one who was constantly changing according to the environment.

Fortunately, Daniel did not seem offended by her and instead looked at her quietly while searching through her gaze.

“Then have you become entangled with others without love?”

Iveca nodded her head easily.

“Because love and sparks are different. Lust is like a fantasy, and it has no substance. Before you fill it, your body feels like it's too sweet, but when you're full of it, it's nothing. So I don't think too deeply about it.”

Daniel no longer made fun of her but signed the report with his mouth shut. Eve accepted the report and bowed.

“Then have a good night, Your Majesty. If you are uncomfortable with my remarks, tell the Bureau of Investigation to change the person in charge…”

“No.”

Iveca's words were immediately cut off.

“Try a little harder.”

In an artificial and arrogant tone, he grinned.

“What?”

“Because tonight was a lot more fun than being with Kayden. You know what? Why don't you come sooner?”

Iveca's ears were red.
