I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

68 – 68. As If No One Exists

“hehehe,”

As I arrived near Hwanglip Hospital and got out of the carriage, my mood and condition were almost perfect.

If others saw me, they would probably think I’m crazy, but that’s understandable.

“He said he loves me..!”

That guy who had a stone-like, indifferent face towards women, now looked straight into my eyes and blushed slightly as he said he loves me.

I should have kissed him then, but I missed the timing because the carriage broke down just after I heard those words.

‘How many children do you think we should have?’

These days, there’s a lot of talk about low birth rates, so we should at least have around four kids, right?

No, still, if the time spent with Jack disappears too much because of the child, it wouldn’t be good. Let’s be content with three kids.

If our child is as affectionate and cute as that, Jack will surely be a good father.

‘What if our daughter sets high standards because of her dad and doesn’t want to get married?’

I worry that because of Jack, our daughter might not realize that not all men can measure up and might reject many good men.

Jack is handsome, affectionate, and cute, so if our daughter observes him up close, she might not find many men appealing…

“…What kind of imagination are you having, laughing to yourself?”

“Oops… my bad.”

Lost in imagining a happy future with Jack, I was startled by his bewildered voice.

Indeed, it seems I can’t quite bring to life this beautiful face and powerful body through my imagination alone.

-Slap!

“Ouch!”

And I can’t replicate the sensation of these firm buttocks either. Mmm…

While gently caressing Jack’s buttocks, lost in thought, his murmured voice reached my ears.

“Please don’t touch me like that, I’m extremely sensitive…”

Originally, I intended to let go, but when temptation goes this far, I can’t resist.

I giggled and continued to caress Jack’s buttocks more passionately, and he began to breathe irregularly after a while.

‘Really… He’s utterly irresistible…’

Even to a woman, he had a clean and perfect body line, firm muscles, and a cute face coNT*Rasting with it all.

That he twitched and let out soft moans under my touch always evoked a strange sense of conquest and possessiveness.

Grabbing my arm and looking around cautiously while pleading, he appeared charming even in his desperation.

‘Is it okay for a man to be cuter than a woman?’

A man cuter than me? I felt a hint of jealousy, but I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

A role reversal, they call it? It felt like something out of a novel set in a world where the roles and perceptions of men and women had reversed.

‘The romance in such a world feels somewhat like this.’

A woman being overly assertive, and a man showing a cute side.

Do people enjoy gender reversal stories like this?

I think I’ve read a novel set in a world where the roles of men and women, social norms, and perceptions have changed, although it seemed like a far-fetched idea back then.

‘It feels somewhat like that kind of romance.’

A woman being excessively proactive, and a man showing a cute side.

I wonder if people enjoy these gender reversal stories?

I used to be intimidated just by the background and never dared to try it, but perhaps one day I should pick one up and read it with a fresh perspective.

Engaged in somewhat productive thoughts, I stopped caressing his buttocks and grabbed his waist, pulling him into an embrace. I could feel Jack’s tense body against mine.

“Startled!”

“eeek!”

Jack, taken aback as he licked his neck.

He blushed and tried to escape from my embrace, but the difference in strength prevented him from doing so.

“We have to get in now, so this isn’t the time for this.”

He muttered as he looked at my hand wrapped around his waist, but my response to him was quite different.

*Smack!*

A kiss on the cheek, which was the exact opposite of what Jack wanted.

Seeing his face turn red, I couldn’t help but wonder if he might be enjoying it in his own way.

“This is the last time; if we do it again, I’ll really get angry.”

*Smack!*

“…”

“You’re getting angry? You’re not angry?”

Before he could react to tease Jack, I kissed him on the lips several times, and then he kept his mouth tightly shut.

Seeing him like this, it’s hard to believe that he used to curse at me when I first confessed my feelings.

Maybe I was wrong back then, to make someone so sweet and adorable curse at me.

“I don’t know; I can’t get angry now.”

I thought about the past for a moment and then, with a mischievous sound coming from beside me, I looked at Jack with a smile.

It seemed to make him embarrassed, and he couldn’t even look me in the eyes and turned his head away.

“We’re here now.”

After several more pranks back and forth, we arrived at the impressive and grand Hwanglip Medical Center.

It was the Empire’s largest health facility, often referred to as the pinnacle of Imperial welfare, offering free treatment to the Empire’s citizens.

“hehehe…”

Honestly, I’m looking forward to what Jack will do here even now, as he keeps gleaming.

Wherever Jack goes, something always happens, no matter how small or large, so something is bound to happen here too.

My husband is too smart, I thought, and I idly fiddled with the stick I had tied to my back.

“Stop doing that!”

I couldn’t forget to pet Jack’s body for a moment.

***

After a long journey, we finally arrived at the Imperial Medical Center.

Lucia had a moment of groping my body, but that was routine, so I let it pass.

“So, where should we go to reach that lab?”

Once we arrived, Lucia, naturally and without any incident, asked after running her hand all over my body.

I resolved to scold her at some point, but I pointed towards the interior of the Royal Hospital.

“To get to the eNT*Rance leading to the lab, we’ll have to go through this Royal Hospital. There should be security personnel, so be cautious.”

“Will our identities be compromised?”

The Crown Prince asked me, raising an eyebrow as he looked at me.

Perhaps he was worried that the Crown Princess, Olivia Calix, a deviously cunning and snake-like woman, might be aware of our attack.

“Of course, our identities may be exposed, but they won’t be able to attack us head-on during that brief gap, so we can infiltrate the lab.”

However, the gap between our information and theirs is considerable.

I knew the location of her lab from the beginning, so I won’t have trouble finding the eNT*Rance.

“And, no matter how strong they are…”

Dylan, the Crown Prince, and Lucia are unmatched opponents.

Homonculus Three Knights and the Crown Princess were never meant for combat in the first place. Even if they later realized the situation and tried to capture us, they wouldn’t be able to subdue us.

“For now, the top priority is preventing the Crown Princess from escaping.”

In the original work, the Crown Princess managed to escape on her own in the seventh episode when all of Homonculus was killed, and the lab was raided. And the place where she fled is none other than the location where the eighth episode, which serves as the actual last episode, takes place.

The place Francis showed me.

“I have information about that place.”

I need to create a deviation from the original by killing the Crown Princess here.

It must be something significant for the Crown Princess to flee to that location. By preemptively blocking that possibility and successfully completing the eighth episode, Lucia and I can enjoy a happy retirement.

“Jack, but doesn’t it seem like there are too few suspicious people here? It feels like there are only real patients.”

“You’re right, why is that…”

As we happily imagined having a few children, Lucia approached us and spoke.

We were currently walking inside the hospital, and by now, we should have seen one or two people in suits. But all that was coming into our view were patients who seemed to be in pain.

“Why is that?”

Lucia said it as if it were nothing, but honestly, she was very anxious.

So far, there have been several episodes that didn’t go as I expected, and how much I struggled to make up for them.

Because even a small thing like this could be a problem, I scanned my surroundings with all my senses focused.

“Ah…”

In the end, as we arrived at a small garden at the eNT*Rance of the building on the opposite side of the Royal Medical Center, there was nothing to be seen around us.

Although there was a sense of tension, we were walking towards our destination without making a big deal out of it.

“Something seems wrong, doesn’t it?”

Lucia whispered lightly in my ear, glancing around. Surprised by how noticeable it was, I looked at Lucia with astonished eyes.

“I told you, I’ve been watching my actions with you all along. I can see what you’re thinking. Can you read emotions just by looking at someone’s face? Well, I can do it, but it’s not that easy.”

After conveying that it wasn’t so easy for her, I started to gently turn over the soil in the backyard of the medical center that we had arrived at, with a faint burst of power.

Prince and Dylan, perhaps thanks to the hint I had given them, were digging the ground around without being too surprised.

“Well, you can come in here.”

Before long, I noticed a place where the soil was unusually raised among the holes in the ground. I lightly dug it, and a small hatch like an underground bunker appeared.

This is how you dig up the grass in the backyard of the Royal Medical Center to find a door, and entering it is the destination of the seventh episode, the secret research laboratory of the princess.

This is where elite researchers conducted experiments on homunculi.

Who would have known that there was such a lab under a hospital that saves lives?

“Phew…”

After taking a deep breath, I opened the hatch and looked inside.

“…It’s completely dark.”

The eNT*Rance to the laboratory, which led to the stairs, was so dark and quiet that it couldn’t be illuminated by the light coming in from the garden.

As if no one existed.
