Chapter 3

“I have none. Then let us end…”

“Oh, I have one.”

Julia stopped Endimion from trying to end the class immediately. Endimion seemed surprised by her striking behavior since she was always quiet in front of others, saying she would be a great queen.

Disregarding this, Julia started asking her female doctor what she didn’t understand.

“Oh, you’re new to body part changes! These are-!”

Disappointed by the king’s disapproving demeanor, the attending physician was excited to answer the questions of her model student, the queen.

“Oh, that’s what that means!”

After only looking at explanatory pictures and listening to the explanation, it made a lot of sense now. Julia was excited and took notes enthusiastically. On the other hand, Endimion was hesitant and only rubbed his face roughly. Julia asked why, but he didn’t answer.

“What? Are you trying to grab my attention by preventing class from ending early?”

“No.”

Julia, who was offended by his blunt voice, eventually looked at him. But Endimion steadfastly ignored her.

The doctors, who were walking on thin ice due to the royal couple’s conflict, deliberately laughed out loud to try and relieve the atmosphere.

“See, these body changes happen when you’re sexually stimulated. For young people, like your majesty and queen, just thinking about the opposite sex will do this!”

“Kheuk!”

Endimion suddenly coughed while drinking a glass of water. Julia, who was nodding her head, looked back in surprise.

“Mion, are you okay?”

“…….Don’t worry about it.”

“What? I’m worried about you right now. Why do you keep talking like that?”

It was when Julia, finally done with this absurdity, dropped her quill. The doctor who had been observing this situation intervened and shifted the conversation.

“Oh ho ho! The two of you are very close! These changes in the body can even happen between close couples. Your Majesty!! Has your Majesty ever experienced this?”

A middle-aged female doctor focused on Endimion and asked in a loud voice. Endimion had just lowered the glass of water when his face hardened at the sudden question.

“…….What?”

“It’s a natural reaction of the male body when you think of a woman you like. When your Majesty thinks of the queen, does this reaction……”

Shatter!

The crystal glass fell to the floor and broke.

Julia, who was thoughtlessly holding a quill, the doctors, who were trying to relieve the mood, and Endimion, who jumped up from his chair, all flinched.

Julia was amazed at her husband, who made a loud noise for the first time since ascending the throne. As she opened her mouth while staring at Endimion, he turned his head towards her.

Naturally, their eyes met. The blue eyes she faced were full of embarrassment. However, just as Julia was about to say something, Endimion turned his head away and in a cold voice remarked.

“I don’t.”

“Yes, Yes?”

As if he wasn’t sorry for the pitiful doctor, Endimion squeezed his fists and slowly said in a low voice. When Julia glanced at him, she could see the tips of his ears and his cheeks flushed red. He must be quite furious.

“I said I don’t feel anything of the sort when I think of the queen.”

The attending physicians panicked at his fierce refusal, not knowing what to do.

“I’m deeply sorry! I, I just wanted you two to have a nice relationship! I never meant to harass your majesty!”

The doctor, who noticed that the king was offended, tried to settle this mess. Then he turned to the quiet queen for help, instead of the king who was growling like a wild beast.

“I only meant that it was a very natural physical phenomenon for energetic youths. Women are also the same! Ha-, has the queen ever experienced this? While thinking of his Majesty!”

“Hmm…… I don’t think I have? Mion is like a friend. I have never felt that way towards a man before.”

Julia responded inadvertently and tilted her head. Since she was 7 years old, her husband was more like a family and friend than a man in her eyes.

This sixteen-year-old was quiet, but a little clumsy. The young queen answered honestly as she was educated to do, inadvertently turning her doctor pale.

“….Oh, I see.”

Julia turned her head belatedly. Mion looked down at her with a gaze she couldn’t decipher and left after uttering one sentence,

“That’s interesting. I’ve felt it with a woman before.”

Bang!

In this manner, the class ended and since then, she was taught sex education separately.

Rumours of the young imperial couple’s bad relationships almost ignited, but fortunately it was resolved properly. This is because Julia cracked down on her doctor, and feeling guilty the doctor kept it to himself.

Besides, that night, Endimion apologized, saying he was sorry for upsetting her, and Julia generously accepted his apology. They lay in bed together and spent the night as comfortably as usual.
