Such an action does not match her status as an Empress. Fujiwara Reya lowered his head, the two gazed into each other's faces and chuckled softly. She seemed attracted by the chaotic village festival, as if also drawn to the way Fujiwara Reya protected her.
"Have you seen such a performance before, ma'am?"
"No, I haven't. Whenever there's such an event, I always stayed far away."
"You don't like it?"
"I do, but participating alone feels awfully lonely."
"Happy today?" Fujiwara Reya wrapped her petite body in his embrace.
Nestled in his arms, Kawashima Miki let out a gentle laugh, "Let's make a pinky promise."
"What?"
"For future summer festivals, you mustn't leave me alone."
Saying this, she held up her slender white little finger, and Fujiwara Reya paused while gazing at it before extending his own finger to hook onto hers.
It turned out that the lady was genuinely jealous and indeed felt lonely alone in Tokyo.
