She asked the staff and looked around various parts of the hotel, but Charte was nowhere to be seen.
She even went out to the roads around the hotel, but he wasn’t there.
Thinking that they might have missed each other while she was searching outside, she returned to the room, but it was still empty.
Her legs gave out, and she collapsed.
When her vision became blurry and she couldn’t see anything, tears began to flow.
She thought she had experienced the ultimate pain when they parted in the empire, but that wasn’t the case.
Experiencing this situation after meeting again, a greater pain than before engulfed her.
While she was crying loudly with her heart breaking, she heard a notification sound from her phone.
Holding onto a sliver of hope, she checked her phone.
A video had been sent from an unknown number.
Normally, she would have thought it was a phishing attempt and wouldn’t have touched it, but wanting to grasp at any straw, she played the video without hesitation.
From the initially quiet screen, confession scenes from The Seduction of the Marked Wife, Strange Garden, Crazy Couple, and The Brilliant World of Gods began to play, and finally, not a video but Bruno Mars’s “Marry You” started playing.
As she was at a loss, not understanding what was happening, a man in a tuxedo appeared before her.
Charte approached her, holding a beautiful bouquet.
And then a soft voice with a hint of excitement and trembling was heard.
“I want to create a love more beautiful than any love you’ve ever heard or seen. With you. Yun-ah, will you marry me?”
Charte knelt on one knee and opened an elegant box containing a ring.
She looked at Charte with tears welling up in her eyes.
How could she have worried about this man, and how could she have thought of living without him?
She was amazed at herself.
Yesterday, she couldn’t answer because she was calculating all possibilities in her head, but today, seeing the empty room, she realized,
That without Charte, nothing would remain in her life.
That she wouldn’t be able to feel any emotions – gratitude, hatred, love – nothing.
Leaving her flowing tears untouched, she took the box with the ring from Charte.
It was a ring with a beautiful sea-colored gemstone that resembled Charte’s eyes.
When she didn’t answer, Charte asked again with an anxious face.
“Yun-ah, marry me.”
“Yes! I’ll marry you. I want to be with you forever.”
She nodded vigorously and embraced his neck.
Charte also embraced her with strong force, as if determined never to let her go again.
This was the moment when this man with his large, broad, and warm embrace truly became her perfect man.
The afterglow of the proposal hadn’t faded, but she had calmed down enough to have a conversation.
“How did you come up with this idea? Did you come prepared with the ring to propose?”
“Of course. I came to propose. Considering that you got married in the empire without knowing what was happening……”
“It was quite a rollercoaster.”
“Before coming, I thought about it and remembered that in all the stories you told me, there were proper confessions, so I prepared this because I wanted to do everything for you that I couldn’t do before.”
Charte said that since last night, he had requested and watched all the dramas he had heard about from the staff.
He said it was good to see the videos rather than just hearing the stories, as he could feel more emotion several times.
“Thank you so much. I’m touched.”
Charte seemed to fall into contemplation for a moment before carefully asking.
“Yun-ah, will you come to the empire with me?”
After watching the dramas, his speech had slightly changed to a more modern style, which made her smile faintly.
“Why would I say I’d marry you if I wasn’t going with you? It’s not like we’re having a spiritual wedding. Charte, I want all of you.”
Charte, now looking relieved, showed a smile that was literally like a flower in full bloom, unlike any she had seen before.
For a moment, it was so dazzling that she turned her gaze away, blushing.
“Charte, when do we have to go back?”
“We don’t have much time. About a week left.”
“That’s enough. There were many things I wanted to do with you here.”
For the remaining time, she planned to do all the ordinary dates that couples could do in South Korea with Charte.
And they also planned to visit the places from the dramas that Charte wanted to see.
They went to amusement parks, climbed the tower on Namsan, went to theaters, visited nice restaurants and bars, and roamed all over Seoul.
He enjoyed everything, but Charte liked visiting the drama filming locations the most.
Even though they couldn’t see the actors or do anything special there.
Time flew by, and the last day was approaching.
“Is this okay with you?”
“Of course. The stories you told me are our history. What could be more meaningful than visiting historical sites? From now on, let’s create our history together in the empire.”
Instead of answering, she burrowed deeply into Charte’s embrace.
“Tomorrow, I need to have a meal with my family.”
“Don’t worry about me. Have a good time and come back.”
On the day before departure, she took her parents and Yun-seo to a nice place for a meal.
Her heart grew heavier as her family was happy and joyful.
She finally cried when her parents kept saying thank you, good, and well done to their unfilial daughter who would abandon everything and leave.
“Yun-ah, why are you crying?”
“J-just because I’m so grateful and happy.”
Her mother held her as she cried and comforted her, and she cried for a long time out of guilt.
Then she hugged her dad and Yun-seo once each.
“What’s going on? Sis, why are you like this? Like someone who’s about to leave.”
Back home, she left a letter for Leila.
This time, she wrote only about herself.
Hoping that Leila wouldn’t be discovered, she detailed her past life and current situation as much as possible.
And at the end, she told her to insist that it was a post-accident symptom if she couldn’t remember something, to claim memory loss.
Memory loss – she thought it might be the master key to Leila’s life.
She wasn’t worried because people close to her in the empire knew she was Yun-ah, making it easy to get help, but it wasn’t the same for Leila.
She had to navigate the world solely on her own strength.
Seeing this choice, she realized that Leila was still a courageous person, as she had been before.
She prayed briefly for Leila, who had chosen to live in an unfamiliar world, abandoning a stable life and everything given to her.
She sealed the envelope tightly and placed it in the first drawer of the vanity.
Though she didn’t say it, she had a feeling that Leila would open this drawer first.
* * *
After a difficult time, she safely returned to the Oneroad Empire, holding Charte’s hand.
It felt as comfortable as returning from a trip.
The first thing she did upon returning was to combine the emperor and empress’s private spaces.
She said she wanted to live like a married couple from her original world, and Charte willingly complied with her wishes.
It felt strange to prepare for bed in the toilette after bathing with the attendants’ help after such a long time.
“It feels real that I’ve returned.”
“Pardon?”
When Judith asked with a puzzled face, she smiled and brushed it off.
“Nothing. Please prepare the white one for tonight.”
She wore the white nightgown that brides wear in the empire and waited for Charte.
Charte, who had been caught by Catano to handle the work that had piled up, entered the room with a tired face.
She handed him the box containing the ring.
He silently took the box, removed the ring, and placed it on her ring finger.
She also placed a ring on Charte’s fourth finger.
She had deliberately not worn this ring on the day she received his proposal, so today was the first time she was wearing it.
“I wanted to wear it on the day we became a real couple, not because of a contract, after returning.”
Charte responded with a smile.
And although the steps were a bit out of order, today we moved from a contract marriage through the proposal stage, exchanged rings, and became a real couple.
“May I give you a kiss of commitment?”
When she smiled, Charte’s lips, which had been gazing at her with deep eyes, landed softly like a feather on her lips.
His tongue gently brushed her lips as if handling a precious glass marble.
Just as she was falling into the very soft and careful feeling, like licking sweet whipped cream, Charte gently bit her lip.
“Haah……”
As a sensual m*an escaped, Charte’s tongue quickly entered through her parted lips and began to roughly explore inside, unlike before.
Following his intensifying movements, her excited hands moved from his head, down his neck, to his back.
Each time her fingers moved, his back muscles reacted as if angered, and she began to feel increasingly aroused.
After a while, when Charte had taken all her breath away, his entwined tongue withdrew, and she barely exhaled her heated breath.
But Charte’s lips didn’t rest, passing her cheek, biting her earlobe, blowing hot breath, and slowly moving down to her nape.
As his hot breath melted even her soul, his hands quickly moved to the buttons on her nightgown.
With each button that opened, the heat of pleasure made her body hot.
His gentle touch gradually became rougher, and at some point, the violent hands tore off the buttons, and only the clear sound of them falling and rolling on the floor was heard.
The flow of sensual air floating in the room became overwhelming, and she clutched the bed sheets.
As her nightgown fell to the floor, Charte rose and hastily removed his clothes.
His perfectly sculpted muscles, now wet with sweat, looked more decadent than usual.
Seeing Charte looking down at her with a seductive smile, her entire body felt as if it was burning.
As his body slowly descended and flesh met flesh, a thrill ran through her as if she had been electrocuted.
Charte’s lips descended to her collarbone and began to breathe on it.
Moving lower, he created red passion flowers all over her white skin.
He smiled with satisfaction as he looked at her body, now mottled with his marks, with eyes full of intense possessiveness.
Unable to meet his eyes due to the strange feeling, she unconsciously turned her head away.
Then his hand grabbed her chin, making her look into his eyes.
Sticky gazes full of heat were exchanged.
With a seductive expression, Charte stroked his own lips with his thumb and moved closer.
Unable to bear it, she tightly closed her eyes, and at that moment, his lips moved toward her navel area, which had been enveloped in a ticklish, strange feeling.
And he continued moving lower.
Charte’s movements, which had been excited from the beginning, became increasingly intense.
“It might hurt. Tell me if it does.”
Charte said with eyes full of dark desire.
“But I don’t think I can stop. I’m at my limit now.”
Then he entered, opening the door to pleasure accompanied by unexpected pain.
A sensual m*an escaped as the pain from the pressure she had never felt before enveloped her entire body.
Charte, with eyes full of fierce possessiveness, stopped moving and looked at her.
Unable to bear it, she moved her hand from clutching the bed sheets and embraced Charte.
With a relieved face, Charte began to kiss her softly again. She couldn’t count how many times she went between pain and cl*max.
Just before collapsing from exhaustion, she gently pushed Charte away and barely separated her lips.
“That’s all for tonight, Your Majesty.”
Charte smiled with a mischievous expression and removed his lips, which had become red from kissing.
“Empress, tonight doesn’t seem to be ending. It seems like it will continue.”
In the passionate night that seemed endless, with dense air filling the room, she fell asleep from exhaustion around dawn.
She slightly opened her eyes at the pleasant feeling of a gentle hand caressing her face, and Charte was looking at her.
“Did you sleep well? Yun-ah.”
“When did you wake up? Charte.”
“I’ve been waiting for you to wake up for a while.”
She had a strange premonition from Charte’s intense gaze and quickly tried to get up and leave the bed, but his hand was faster.
Before she knew it, she was lying beneath Charte, and his lips, pressed against her entire body, came crashing down.
She had thought she would be too tired to do anything, but with Charte’s kisses and slight touches, her body began to heat up again like a lie.
It was painful, but the intense pleasure she had experienced for the first time last night came to mind, and her body quickly became feverish.
Seeing Charte pounce tirelessly, she wanted to praise his patience for how he had restrained himself all this time.
The cold emperor had disappeared, leaving only a hot beast.
She shouted first at him as he was stealthily approaching, even though it hadn’t been long since they finished.
“I really feel like I’m going to die now.”
Charte, with a very regretful face, ordered the attendant to bring a meal.
She managed to tame the beast excited with l*st, put the emperor’s mask back on him, and after having a late lunch together, she followed him out to see him off.
While he was a beast itself when they were alone, Charte returned to being a gentle emperor in front of people.
After kissing both her cheeks in turn and biting her lip slightly as if regretful, he whispered so that only she could hear.
“I love you today too, Yun-ah.”
After Charte, who had given such an affectionate greeting, went to the emperor’s palace, she went back to her room to rest, but fell asleep as if exhausted, and woke up when it was dark all around.
And she pondered deeply about what story to tell him, just like when she first came to the empire.
Though it seemed there wouldn’t be time for stories at night for a while, he said he still wanted to hear her stories.
She was grateful for the luck of having experienced something more fantastic than a drama, having a love more beautiful than a drama, and meeting the most wonderful protagonist of her life, better than any drama.
“I’m happy today too, Charte.”
<The End>

Acho que ela deveria ter abordado o assunto de forma diferente com a família. Talvez dizendo que quando estava preste a morrer no acidente ela vivenciou uma experiência fora do corpo ou algo assim e agora pertencia a outro mundo e a Leila viria para viver no.lugar dela, que era uma forma de sobrevivência ou algo assim…
.
Eu acho que Charti foi de certa forma o imperador que mais se entregou ao amor, ele caiu fundo quando apaixonado, mesmo se tornando tirano… ele foi corno e abandonado… sei lá… também acho que toda essa experiência na cama se deve a Yasrin… se pudesse, eu voltaria no tempo antes de conhecer Yasrin e manteria as memórias intactas dos 3 personagens principais e proporia trocar o corpo antes de tudo dar errado… e ele conseguiu viajar com o próprio corpo para o mundo dela e tal… sei lá
