Unbeknownst to Me, I’m Secretly Dating the Emperor — Chapter 20

GOOD MORNING~

Did you have a nice weekend?

Yes, keep up the good work today~

GOOD MORNING, RINA.

DID YOU HAVE A NICE WEEK...

UH...?

...HM?

L-LINA!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!

HUUUH...? WHAT DO YOU MEAN...?

WHAT DO I MEAN?! LOOK AT YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW!

YOU'RE PRACTICALLY A DANDELION SWAYING IN THE SPRING BREEZE!!

You look like you would fly away if someone blew on you!

DID SOMETHING HAPPEN OVER THE WEEKEND?

AHA, FROM THE LOOK OF YOU...

YOU MET SIR LOHAS , DIDN'T YOU?

WHAT DID YOU TWO DO OVER THE WEEKEND~?

N-NOTHING HAPPENED...!

NOTHING HAPPENED? SOMEONE DEFINITELY HAPPENED.

THE GREATEST SOURCE OF INTEREST FOR OFFICE WORKERS ON A MONDAY MORNING.

COME ON, TELL ME ABOUT IT, HM?

W-WELL, YOU SEE...

...ACTUALLY, THIS TIME, I WENT

TO AN EXHIBITION WITH SIR LOHAS...

SUPREME COURT

I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE SO LARGE...!

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO LOOK AT FIRST!

IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT INTERESTS YOU, MISS DIAZ?

HMM, THE PAMPHLET RECOMMENDS STARTING WITH THE DWARF ARTIFACTS...

AH, THE REGENCIA MAGIC SOCIETY ARTIFACTS LOOK INTERESTING TOO!

I DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE THE SACRED RELICS FROM THE SERENDIA ALTAR TOO, AND ALSO...

SIR ROJAS, IS SOMETHING WRONG?

AH, IT IS NOTHING...

IT IS JUST...

I WAS THINKING THAT YOU REALLY DO LOVE ANCIENT HISTORY, MISS DIAZ.

AH, THAT'S RIGHT! IT HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE FIELD SINCE MY ACADEMY DAYS.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS KIND OF THING TOO, SIR ROJAS?

.......WELL, YOU COULD SAY THAT.

LIE

Well, you did have exhibition tickets too~

SINCE OUR TASTES MATCH SO PERFECTLY, I THINK TODAY WILL BE REALLY FUN!

Then shall we go see the dwarf artifacts first?

G-GOODNESS...

LOOK AT THIS...!

IT'S A GIANT ORC BARREL!!

Amazing!

I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A HUGE BARREL IN MY LIFE...!!

WAS THIS ONE SERVING FOR ANCIENT ORCS?

Since they had such enormous bodies!

LET ME SEE... PERHAPS THEY SHARED IT WITH THEIR KIN.

TRUE. SINCE THEY HAD A TRIBAL CULTURE, THAT SEEMS HIGHLY LIKELY!

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO KNOW FOR SURE IF WE LOOK AT MORE RELATED ARTIFACTS...

AH, THERE THEY ARE!

AND SO, THE ARTIFACT RELAY CONTINUED FOR A WHILE.

THE SPEED.

THIS IS SO FASCINATING! IT SAYS THIS IS A CALENDAR USED IN ANCIENT TIMES!

IT HAS A STRANGE SHAPE.

THIS IS OLD SHEET MUSIC FOUND IN A SHIPWRECK!

TERRIBLE HANDWRITING.

WOW...!

THIS IS A STATUE USED FOR RITUALS, EXCAVATED FROM THE RUINS OF KALVAREN FOREST!

APPARENTLY, THIS ONE TINY ARTIFACT CORRECTED A WHOLE HUNDRED YEARS OF ANCIENT CULTURAL HISTORY IN THE WESTERN CONTINENT.

HISTORY REALLY IS FASCINATING, ISN'T IT?

THE MORE YOU LEARN, THE MORE INTERESTING IT GETS!

CERTAINLY.

IT IS QUITE INTERESTING, THE MORE YOU LEARN.

THE EXHIBITION WAS SO WONDERFUL!

IF I COULD, I WOULD GO AROUND TEN MORE TIMES...!

...YES, ME TOO.

DURING THE SECOND HALF, HE WAS MOSTLY DRAGGED AROUND AND ONLY LISTENED.

TO THINK I CAN COME SEE SUCH A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION WITH YOU NEXT WEEK,

AND THE WEEK AFTER THAT TOO...

I'M ALREADY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

...MISS DIAZ.

YOU LOOK HOT.

YOUR FACE IS RED.

I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT COOL YOU DOWN A LITTLE.

...THE INSIDE OF THE EXHIBITION HALL

REALLY WAS QUITE HOT, WASN'T IT?

I-I'M NOT SURE... I DID NOT REALLY NOTICE.

PERHAPS IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOUR INCREDIBLE ENTHUSIASM, MISS DIAZ.

OH, BUT IF THAT WERE THE CASE...

YOUR FACE IS RED TOO, SIR ROJAS.

TH-THIS IS JUST...

AH... I'M SORRY IF I STARTLED YOU.

I JUST THOUGHT YOU LOOKED HOT TOO, SIR ROJAS...

...SIR,

SIR ROJAS...?

HUH...?

N-NO, DON'T TELL ME...

IS THIS A MOMENT...?!?
