"Lili."
Joshua's low, soft-spoken voice tickled my ears.
I buried my face in the pillow and gave a gentle shake of my head.
Simultaneously, I heard a soft laugh escape his lips from beside me.
"You really have to get up now."
"Ugh..."
"I need to leave for the palace soon."
Joshua lightly tugged my arm, helping me to sit up.
However, as soon as he released me, I flopped back onto the bed.
‘The sparrows are chirping and the sun is already shining? I hate sunny mornings. I wish it could be nighttime forever…’
“Lili."
Joshua called my name again as if attempting to reason with me, his voice filled with affection and tenderness.
‘This is all your fault, you brat. How do you have such monstrous stamina? You always give me such a hard time…’
"Josh..."
‘Must be nice being the only one feeling refreshed, huh?!’
I squinted my eyes and briefly locked gazes with him.
"Huh?!"
When our eyes met, Joshua flashed a smile.
