Beatrix tried to remember if there is an event that fits his description and finally she remembered that tween boy in the garden while she is picking blossoms! He looks so attractive and adorable even when he stuttered but it is too sad that he and his parents immediately left after the twins beat him up! Poor guy! But she changed her mind when she remembered the serious bruises the twins suffered from him!!!

"You are that boy? You grew up very well!" She immediately praised him which in turn made him blush.

"You too... You are more beautiful now..." He shyly responds to her praise.

She smiled happily until she recalled something.

"When are we rescued?" She immediately asked.

"Two days ago. During the time you are suffering from high fever." He replied.

"What?!! How long was I unconscious?" She is extremely shocked and curious!

"You were unconscious for three days. You do not know how afraid and worried I am when you did not wake up like usual... You never open your eyes when I am calling you. Fortunately, the rescue team arrived and we were rescued." He told her a mixture of truth and lies. He will never confess the whole truth even if he is beaten to death!

"Sorry about that... Sorry for worrying you... I am truly a burden to you! " She sincerely apologized after she remembered his difficulties on the island with her. She is oblivious that everything they encountered on the island could be easily avoided but he chose to experience all those things with her so they will have some sort of special bonding with each other.

Emperor Valentine deliberately isolated her from other people so he could slowly get her trust and sneak his way to her heart... No one would think that an Emperor will gladly stay stranded on an island and experience difficulties so he could have private moments with a woman so she did not doubt him and did not become suspicious of him.

"No, you are not a burden. If you are not with me on that island, it will be so lonely and hard for me." He told her honestly.

"I do not believe you. You know what to do and you seem so happy all the time." She commented truthfully.

"I am happy because I have a companion on the island. I just did not know that she has this strange and perverted behavior..." He declared smoothly.

"It was an accident!" She exclaimed with a face as red as a tomato.

"I did not expect that you have that strange preference..." He teased her.

"I do not! I accidentally slipped! I did not peep!" She refused but it only sounded worse!

"Oh? So, if you did not slip accidentally then I will not know that you are secretly feasting on my body..." He teased even more.

"I did not! I just passed by that area! I did not know you were bathing there! Why are you completely naked anyway?!!" She reasoned, more embarrassed now.

"You saw everything... I am so pitiful... Someone saw all of me! You should take responsibility!" He acted like a young maiden who lost her chastity.

"No, I did not! I did not see anything! I immediately closed my eyes!" She strongly denied it.

"After staring for a long time with bulging eyes?" He playfully replied.

"Why are you acting like it is a big deal? It is not like I took advantage of you and raped you! You did not lose anything!" She blurted out.

"Oh my! You want to take advantage of me and rape me?! And it is not a big deal to you?! I never knew that women of Sky Empire are so shameless and adventurous..." He fought the urge to burst into laughing now. She looks really beautiful, so cute, and so adorable when embarrassed!

"Why are you implicating other women of Sky Empire? Stay them out of this!!!" She contradicted.

"My bad... So it is only you..." He seductively smiled.

Beatrix huffed angrily now and chose not to talk anymore!

"Beatrix, since we are very close, you do not have to peek. You just have to tell me and you can do anything to my body. I promise... I will never refuse..." He flirtatiously told her.

Beatrix knew that she will never win against this man with a poisonous tongue, who constantly twisted her words and made it appear she intentionally peeped at him. She ran towards the nearest door, opened it, went inside another room then closed it! She does not want to talk to him knowing she will embarrass herself more!

She discovered that she is inside a dressing room with lots of feminine clothing, shoes, and other feminine accessories! She sat down in front of a golden mirror and looked at her reflection. She is blushing like a red beet!!!

That man took advantage of my embarrassment!

Everything he said was all true, except the part that she intentionally peeped at him...
