Chapter 71: His Majesty’s Miscalculation (2)

He never thought the day he would have such endless need would come. If he had not encountered her, he would have gone through his life unresponsive to anything.

Staring at the expelled spirit in his hand, he thought of his intense love for her and he got hard again.

He waited half a year without being fully satiated.

But Amber' heart did not heal after half a year. On the contrary, it looked like she had given up on marriage.

Every time she went to a ball, she greeted the hosts, stayed a short while and left early.

Matthias told him that Amber was thinking about moving to her family's villa on the outskirts of the city, which had been left to her by her parents.

Hearing this, Ernest was filled with despair. (Zuben: Zetsubou shiita!)

Still, he tried to meet her.

He attended a ball being held by Sirius, the Duke of Schneider, knowing that she would attend. But he did not get to meet her. She was quick to getaway.

He became frustrated by his carelessness and the speed at which she escaped.

Unfortunately, as the King, he could not keep attending balls of every noble because it could lead to a clash between noble families.

He decided on a new strategy when he gave up trying to meet Amber at balls.

His sister, Rosemary, needed new dresses for her social debut. He went along with her to the famous tailor, trying to casually meet Amber. He had been told that Amber visited the tailor, Mrs. Macy, to deliver the filet lace she created.

He asked Mrs. Macy for her cooperation and asked her to call Amber for a visit on the same day he would be coming with Rosemary.

But this operation also failed. According to Matthias, while he was away, Leticia came down with a fever. She began to cry that she wanted Amber to tend to her, because of her anxiety.

There were many maids in the Reinfeldt house, why did she have to insist on Amber? Also, Leticia was not a child, but a married woman. Why would she cry for her sister just because she was ill?!

So although Amber was usually hurt by her sister's careless behavior, she decided not to forsake her and take care of her. (Zuben: Leticia is a demon)

Hearing of her kind-heartedness, Ernest's heart burned with love for her. On the other hand, he began to think of Leticia as a demon.

Ernest's heart and mind were full of love for Amber.

When he was shown her beautiful delicate embroidery that Amber made, his deep desire came spilling from his lips and he inadvertently asked Mrs. Macy to secretly make a wedding dress for Amber. So what if he was doing this the wrong way round, he was going to marry her no matter what.

Ernest's head was so full of love for Amber that it did not work normally any longer.

'Ernest,' Matthias said one day, 'if you love her so much, why don't you visit our manor and ask for Amber directly?'

Why was he waiting for a chance meeting?

If he wanted her, he could use his status as King to capture her forcibly. (Zuben: Matthias not everyone subscribes to your mysterious yandere magazine)

That would be sick, he told Matthias, even if he did want to do it. But he didn't want to rip her from the arms of her family. No matter how much he wanted, Ernest could not do it.
