Side Story 11 Blake has become smaller (11)

TL: Zimming

This is the worst thing ever. This must be a dream.

Blake stared blankly at the emperors bed. He couldnt believe this situation now.

Is he sure that he wants to sleep together with him? No way.

But Tenstheons words shattered Blakes hopes.

What are you doing? Lets go to bed.

He really wants to sleep with him. Blake looked at Tenstheons eyes.

He happened to be in his arms all day today, but he didnt want to sleep together as he has already grown up.

I, I can sweep alone! (I, I can sleep alone!)

No, its dangerous.

Its not dwangerous!

I dont know where youll go again.

Im not gwoing. I wont gwo out. (Im not going. I wont go out)

No.

Huuang!

Tenstheon climbed onto the bed with the squirming Blake in his arms.

N, no!

Blake, who was struggling to get out of his arms somehow, saw a wound on Tenstheons wrist.

Awe you huwt? (Are you hurt?)

Oh, its nothing.

Tenstheon hugged Blake and lowered the raised sleeve again. It was a wound he got when he was moving in a hurry to find Blake.

Tenstheon did not speak directly, but Blake could guess why he was hurt.

Ill tweat you. (Ill treat you.)

Blake took his hand to the wound. Then the scar on the wrist disappeared with the light.

Thanks.

Nwo, its nothing. (No. Its nothing.)

Blake bent his head and tried to go. But Tenstheon lay in bed holding him tightly.

Hiing.

Blake didnt give up after he got up and found a way to get down.

Then he could hear Tenstheon,

I love you.

Tenstheon conveyed his sincerity that he had not done so far.

I should have protected you, Im so sorry.

Blake looked at Tenstheon without saying a word. After a brief silence, he shook his head.

No, dwont mind what I said during the day. (No, dont mind what I said before.)

To be honest, during those days, he missed Tenstheon and blamed his father for not finding him

But now he knew.

Originally, the heir to the curse should be confined to the southern island, but Tenstheon placed him in a separate palace instead.

To the end, Tenstheon made a tremendous effort. He was protested by countless people, but he kept his son to the end, pretending to be indifferent. And he wasnt completely abandoned.

Those who were so good-natured that they did not despise the heir to the curse were selected and sent to the Amoria Palace, Eunhan was also asked to look after Blake before.

Above all, he could marry Ancia thanks to Tenstheon.

Im sworry for saying something so hwash. It wasnt my intention. (Im sorry for saying something so harsh. It wasnt my intention.)

In the afternoon, he was so angry that his childish thoughts came out.

As his body becomes smaller, his thoughts also seem to have become younger.

No, its my fault. I wanted to hug you like thisI shouldve hugged you.

Tenstheons face was full of regret.

The two have been separated for too long. Too much time has passed, without the opportunity to apologize and missing the timing.

Blake, can you call me Father just once?

He looked so afraid and cautious speaking to him, unlike an emperor who commanded the empire.

Blake glanced to Tenstheon.

Father.

It was a word that he had never said since he was cursed.

It was awkward to say it, not because he didnt like Tenstheon or didnt want to admit that he is his father.

Of course, it was true that he had resentment when he was told to call him Your Majesty instead of Father before he was cursed.

In addition, there was a frustration that Tenstheon could not recognize a monster as a son who was cursed like him.

Even after he knew it wasnt true, he couldnt say father like before.

Blake was so nervous that he cleared his throat. And he told Tenstheon,

Fwather.

Blake was disappointed in himself.

He cant even pronounce the easy word father properly. Its been a while since he said this

He cleared his throat just in case he made a mistake, but it didnt work.

Blakes face flushed with embarrassment.

Tenstheon, however, hugged Blake with a happy expression, as if he didnt care about his pronunciation.

Thanks, son.

He kissed Blakes soft cheek.

He cant believe that he kissed his grown-up son!

Blake hated it, but when he saw Tenstheon smiling brightly, he couldnt say no.

And maybe its because his body got smaller, he didnt hate his fathers kiss as much as he did when he was young.

Blake smiled and said once again.

Fwather.

And once again, he was disappointed in himself.

***

When I heard the news of Blake, I hurried back to the villa.

They lost Blake, but they found him right away. I received a letter from Tenstheon that I dont need to come back right away, but I couldnt take a rest in the hotel.

What happened?

How did they lose him? Are you sure hes gonna be okay? You didnt lie to reassure me, did you?

On the way back, my heart felt like it was going to burst due to nervousness.

Your Highness, youre back already?

Melissa was surprised to hear that I had come back.

Wheres Blake now?

Hes in His Majestys bedroom.

I hurried to Tenstheons bedroom.

While walking down the hall, Melissa told me the details.

Blake and Tenstheon are said to have destroyed the place. And they must have returned to the villa safely.

Everyones safe. Dont worry about it.

I was relieved to hear Melissa say that, but the worries didnt go away.

She said Blake had come home with Tenstheon, was it the right choice to leave them alone?

Then he mustve asked him to sleep with him tonight.

When I opened the door carefully, I saw Tenstheon and Blake sleeping on the bed.

Blake, who fell asleep in the arms of Tenstheon, looked very comfortable. There was also a peaceful smile around Tenstheons mouth.

When I saw the two, the corners of my mouth went up by itself.

I guess I was worried about nothing.

I closed the door quietly and went outside.

***

Several things happened even though I only went out for a day.

The next day, Blake called Tenstheon differently.There was only a little problem.

Fwa, f, nono, fwa, ther.

He wanted to call Tensteon father. But it wasnt easy.

Fwather!

He spoke one letter at a time and when he spoke quickly, Blake still couldnt do it.

Hiing.

Blake who failed again this time pouted. Tenstheon smiled brightly seeing his son.

Thats alright. Its enough now.

Right Blake, you did a great job.

I agreed with Tenstheon. However Blake didnt change his expression.

Tenstheon hugged Blake and put him on his lap.

T, theres Anthia hewe! (T, Theres Ancia here!)

Blakes face was flushed red. However, the smile did not leave Tenstheons mouth.

Blake, if father is too hard for you, how about dad?

No, father, are you being greedy now? How many father have you heard from Blake?

Oh my god. Hes doing great. Youre doing great, father!

I clapped my hands inwardly.

But Blake was embarrassed.

No, I dwont want to. E, embawassing (No, I dont want to. E, embarassing.)

Tenstheon smiled happily at Blake, whose face had heated up.

The tip of my mouth also went up.

Blake, ah

When I fed him pudding for dessert, Blake opened his mouth like a baby bird and ate it.

How can he be so cute when he chews?

Dewicious! (Delicious!)

Iwll do it like Anthia too! (Ill do it like Ancia too!)

He came down from Tenstheons lap and came to me.

I put Blake in the chair next to me. He picked up a spoonful with his small hand, then scooped up the lemon jam and put it in the tea.

He started stirring the spoon very fast.

After stirring all the jam, Blake shouted with a proud look,

I stiwed as fast as Ancia! (I stirred as fast as Ancia!)

I was silent. But Tenstheon burst into laughter.

Its just like Ancia.

Hehe, shes as fwast as a baby. (Hehe, shes as fast as a baby.)

Thats right. Ancia does it quickly.

He doesnt act like how a child would, he acted like Koreans!

I couldnt explain and shut my mouth.

One problem has arisen since the relationship between the two recovered. Whenever they have the time, they make fun of me together.

I pouted and then burst into laughter afterwards.

Well, actually, I can be teased.

I was so happy that Blake and Tenstheon were naturally communicating with each other.
