10. First Date (II)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56(Eh, this taste...)
I thought this while I continued to chew my sandwich, which had a crack as I bit into it, causing my brows to twitch.
(...... W-what did I just-)
Azazel's gaze was filled with anticipation as I carefully raised my head.
(... Why is he staring at me so intently...?)
When I took a bite, the sandwich in my hand trembled slightly.
"... Azazel.. Who made this sandwich?"
I asked, attempting to maintain control of my expression while trying to avoid chewing everything in my mouth, which resulted in a muffled question.
Azazel, on the other side, flushed again as he seemed to understand my question.
"I... I'm the one who made it."
He responded shyly as I almost choked on the food.
(H-he made this sandwich?!)
I've never felt so uneasy over a situation in my whole life.
However, after seeing Azazel's sparkling eyes stare at me, I couldn't bring myself to say it wasn't pleasant.

[2nd Prince's Palace]As he looked at Azazel, who was lying on his bed with a high fever, Olivier's eyes widened in surprise."You're kidding, right? Why did you get sick in the middle of nowhere with a fever?"He questioned, his brow furrowed, but Azazel twitched his brows in irritation as he tried to catch his breath.(I also can't believe I was so horrified that I had a fever as a result of a single kiss. Might as well just die.)Azazel thought, as he wished to die of embarrassment after recalling the events of their date the day before.(Ugh... My first kiss with Verena happened in front of a candy store in town.)If Azazel could, he would go back in time and stop it immediately before it happened.He wanted them to kiss for the first time at their own wedding. He wished for it, but it was crushed.His grip on the sheet tightened.(... Who the hell pushed Verena to the point where we kissed by accident?! When

[2nd Prince's Palace]Azazel was the one who held the blade in front of Olivier's neck, and he did so out of dissatisfaction and rage."How dare you...! When did I tell you to let that woman into my room, especially when I wasn't feeling well?!"He screamed furiously, while Olivier remained silent, his head lowered and his sorrowful eyes narrowed."Prince Azazel, please accept my deepest condolences. However, I believed it would be preferable if I could have Her Majesty's trust.""For what?"Azazel's sword trembled in his hand as he understood he couldn't kill one of his closest allies. He is well aware that Olivier has his own reasons for acting in that manner."I'm going to be her spy for you."Azazel's eyes widened at the unexpected response, and everything seemed to sink into his head as he finally grasped the meaning of that simple remark."... Ah."Azazel withdrew his blade as he let out a sigh, his face tro

[Vad Clan Territory]"It's wonderful to see you both again. I hope both of you will speak comfortably."Azazel smiled as he reached Edgar and Ethan at their house to discuss the strategy for the upcoming rebellion."... It's also a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness."Edgar responded, lowering his head in respect followed by Ethan."I came alone today because it was too risky. Please understand."Azazel smiled as the twins nodded understatedly in response to his statement."As you both know from the letter, I'm attempting to overthrow the current Emperor and I need your help. Also, if it's all possible, I would like to include all from the Vad Clan. If our rebellion succeeds, I will free your clan from discrimination in which you all can live freely in the Capital City and can freely go to places that they desire.""... How can we trust you?"Just as Azazel had predicted, Edgar glared at him with suspicious eyes.

"You have a lovely room."Verena raised her brow as Azazel walked freely around the chamber."So you've come here to perform your obligations as a husband?"Her cheeks flushed slightly as he turned his head toward her and nodded with a genuine smile, which caught her off guard."Well, I suppose that's understandable."Azazel chuckled as he approached her."As I stated in my letter, I was successful in persuading the twins to assist us."Verena smiled back at him."I have already read it.""Praise me."Verena looks at him questioningly as Azazel's cheeks flushed, and he scratches the back of his head shyly as he averted his gaze."... Can you praise me?"His crimson gaze landed on her aquamarine one, which was astonished.After understanding his words, Verena sighs with a smile and raises her hand to pat his head."... Good job."Azazel was taken aback by the unexpected gesture sh

"Would you do me the honor of being your life companion, Lady Verena Zielle?"I stared into his sincere eyes, and his voice was so loud and clear that it drew the attention of the other aristocrats.I could even sense my family's bewilderment at this unexpected event.(If only I could live a life like this...)I smiled at him as I nodded my head in delight.(Imagine how different my life would be?)"Of course, Your Highness Azazel, although your abrupt proposal has taken me by surprise, I couldn't be happier."I stretched my hand to him, and he delicately placed the simple diamond ring on my ring finger, his expression thoughtful."Oh, my~ I couldn't believe what I'm seeing.""Does this imply that the Dukedom of Zielle supports the second prince?""Look at how romantic his highness was~ They are such a perfect match made in heaven.""I couldn't believe I'm about to occur something that might shake the whole
Tyrant's Obsession 16. Olivier's Thoughts
Within a single night, words about the second prince, Azazel von Elysian, who proposed Lady Zielle of the Zielle Dukedom at Princess Charlotte's von Elysian 14th birthday celebration had spread rapidly.It has become the Empire's hot topic, and everyone is talking about it.[Empress' Palace]"It's exactly as you reported to me, Olivier."The Empress, Kalliste, smiled to herself as she sipped her cup of black tea and savored the flavor while enjoying the weather in the garden.Behind her stood the same messy dark red-haired man with exhausted jet-black eyes, struggling to stay awake from all the meaningless chit-chat.(Whatever... I only gave all the information except the rebellion. I even told her the truth, that Azazel has been keeping an eye on Verena for who knows how long.)"You've done well. You made an excellent decision."Olivier remained utterly silent, his hands clenched into fists out of sight.(...... I'm hop
Tyrant's Obsession 17. Olivier's Thoughts (2)
[2nd Prince's Palace] "Olivier, what do you think the energy element is?" Azazel questioned, his gaze falling on me. I look upwards since I was sitting on the garden's grass while he stood in front of me. "The energy element is the force that can let us control our own elements." He nodded in agreement to my response. "That is correct. Though, every element is controlled differently. I'll teach you energy fire control because there's no one to teach you energy air control." My mouth opened wide in disbelief. "... Your Highness, what exactly do you mean? What I have is air, not fire." Azazel smirked as he put his hand on his hip. "You fool. I'm talking about the control energy. Listen, I heard that air comes from meditation and the mind, but that fire comes from the breath and the heart itself. You will learn how to control your energy element by using fire control." "Does that even make any sense?!"
Tyrant's Obsession 18. Olivier's Thoughts (3)
I yawned as I proceeded with my work. I continue to scribble down a plan for the revolt that could operate while Azazel was at war.I haven't heard anything about him for the last 3 years. With that time compromise, I'm not sure if he's still alive or not.However, despite being unsure, I still believed he will be alive. He would have to if he's going to overthrow the Empire.(I've been preoccupied with having to take care of this palace and always prevent myself from meeting the Empress. This is getting ridiculous.)Before I could even take a breather, a knock echoed throughout the room as I invited whoever had knocked to come in.The door opened. A familiar man in his sixties entered. With his hazelnut eyes narrowed, a pleasant smile on his face."Are you still not getting enough sleep, Olivier?""Louis, why are you here at this hour of the night?"With wide eyes, I questioned, halting whatever I was doing to give him my comp

"... It's quite easy to tell that this is not your first life.""How can you tell?"My gaze were now wary. But his expression remained unchanged with that gentle gaze on his face."It shows in your aura.""... My aura?"(Ah... don't tell me he has that special ability in his eyes...)My eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about all the possibilities within him."You— is it alright to expose yourself like that?"I'm just a stranger he met for the second time. And this is the first time we have a proper conversation.Yet he answered my questions clearly and even revealing his ability about seeing this 'aura'."Hmm... I don't mind."He narrowed his eyes sadly the moment his eyes cathes mine, as if he saw something that I would never under

When I presented Rho with an imperial knight uniform, his eyes widened in surprise."T-this—""It's the attire of an imperial knight. Wear that because you're going to the temple with me."His eyes sparkled the moment he was handed the uniform."Wow~"I knew why he couldn't stop grinning. It was because he had sought numerous times to become a knight of a noble family but had always been rejected and discriminated against due to his social standing.And now he was given not only a regular knight's uniform, but the Imperial Knight's entireuniform.His fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the uniform I handed him."We're arriving to the temple soon. You have excellent abilities, so I'm confident you'll be a good figure fitting for the Imperial Knights.""Oh my god—

"Tell me what went wrong."When I asked Rho to tell me everything that had occurred, he nodded his head."My crew and I were traveling on our ship about a month ago. Oh, I just wanted to let you know that we're not a bunch of bad pirates!"I nodded, asking him to continue his story, as he grinned and waved his hands around in the air."Then, out of nowhere, our enemy, another pirate who despises me, attacked us. That one eyed bastard— Gladiolas."(Gladiolas? Haven't heard of that name.)I thought to myself as I continued to listen to his story."Normally, we'd win against him, but that jerk did something he shouldn't have. He was backed by a noble, and I noticed how his crew had been replaced by the knights of this noble."(... What I'm getting is that this noble who is currently supporting Gladiolas is trying to earn profits by selling slaves and using the Blue Island, the abandoned area, as his hidden slave source

"Please accept our apologies, Your Majesty. Please punish us for our irresponsibility. We don't deserve to serve you."Ethan and Edgar both bowed appropriately, their gazes fixed on the floor.I was in front of them, with the man who had snuck into my room the night before standing beside me.When I told the twins about what had happened, they felt terrible and blamed themselves for not noticing anything and putting me in danger.I reassured them that it was fine because the man was in need of help, despite the fact that the method he asked was a little overwhelming and I was on the verge of death.Of course, the twins were skeptical to believe this man who showed up, claimed to be a pirate, and requested my assistance.They're wary of him."Edgar, Ethan, I've previously stated that it's preferable if you don't make the same mistake again. Don't make me repeat myself."When they saw I was quickly losing patience, they both rais

"The moment you wake up, you see a stranger and try to kill them, and the moment you realize you don't have a chance against me, you turn the entire room into ice."He simply shrugged and leaned against the water that had formed behind him.(Not just any user.)My eyes sharpened in suspicion as I looked at him.(He's an excellent water user.)"How do you know that I'm the Empress?""It may not looked like it, but I saw you at the coronation."His response surprised me, and my eyes widened in disbelief.However, just by looking at him, I could tell he wasn't a nobleman."You're not a nobleman, are you? Truly, who are you?"With a smug expression on his face, he remained silent until the water behind him vanished.He moved a step closer to me, but I quickly built an ice between us to prevent him from crossing the line.(I didn't create any useful potions. Recently, I've been far too careless. And it wa

My heart was racing the entire day after my unexpected confession as I tried to keep my distance from Azazel.But, before long, the sun sets and the moon rises into a sky ablaze with brilliant stars.(I can't believe I just confessed to him.)I sat in my room, awaiting his return. Because I just declared my love for him, tonight will be different, and it will be awkward for me.When the door opened and Azazel entered the room with a brilliant smile on his face, my cheeks were still hot all over and my heart began to race even faster."Verena!"He rushed up to me as soon as he saw me and tackled me to the bed, surprising me."A-Azazel?!"My heart began to beat even faster as he titled his head and grinned so childishly that I was afraid it would explode.He drew himself away from me and dragged me in to sit next to him."I was surprised for you to come at me like that."I laughed as I looked him in the eyes,

Verena Zielle.She was the first person who could make my heart race out of control.My dark days and existence were lightened the instant I locked eyes with her for the first time.A pair of pure, stunning aquamarine eyes as blue as the sky and as vast as the sea.My cheeks flushed and my pulse raced frantically as I looked into those eyes.Yet I'm the first to admit that she was out out of my league.Yet, unexpected things occurred that made me dared to hope for more.She approached me first and asked for my assistance. She has no idea that whatever she wants, I will do everything in my power to have it.She gets what she wants.I, on the other hand, lived in the dark while she lived in the light.

"Hey Louis."When I was still a young kid, I remembered asking something to my head butler, Louis Vaughn who acted as my father and took very good care of me.His gaze softened as he turned his head toward me, a smile on his lips."Yes, Your Highness?"He asked, staring me in the eyes, and I returned his gaze, unwavering."Why I don't have a mother? I want to have a mother too."His eyes widened significantly, and he knelt to equal my height, looking at me with a pained expression on his face."Why did you ask that, Your Highness?""... because brother Drystan mocked me for not having a mother."I tightened my grip on my attire, my gaze lowered."... I want to have a mother too.."I murmured under my breath, didn't even dare to look at him in the eyes.Now that I think about it, I'm curious about his expression when I was lowering my head.Maybe he was pitying me, or maybe he

"So, what do you want to talk about?"Valac sat in his chair and rested both of his legs on the table, as it was his habit.Valac was uninterested about the tea cups and cookies on the table.Leon was taken aback by his unpolished demeanor, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.He was bothered by Valac's treatment of the guests, but he couldn't express his displeasure since he was also fearful.Leon, on the other hand, tried to hide his nervousness by smiling sweetly at Valac, who was impatiently waiting for Leon to speak."Your Highness, this may appear impolite, but I'd want to inquire if you're satisfied in your current position."He questioned carefully, the word 'position' sounding bitter in his voice as he spoke, reminding Valac of his own status as the third prince.Valac, of course, would notice. He could even foresee what Leon would say next."You're the second son of the previous Empress, Prince Valac.
