"Hello, traitor."
Olivier was taken aback when the Empress, Kalliste, greeted him with a lovely smile.
"Y-Your Majesty..."
"Did you have a good time sneaking around my workplace when I wasn't around?"
She crossed her arms as Olivier grit his teeth in frustration, since the only way out was the door.
"Guards, seize him."
The knights encircled the room, capturing both of his arms.
(I can't put up a fight either... I guess this is the end.)
Oliver sighed heavily as he faced Kalliste, the person who would very certainly eliminate him once she discovered his plans.
Someone for whom he once felt pity.
One of the guards gives the sword to Kalliste, who uses it to kill him on the spot. Her smile is friendly, but her gaze is full with hatred and the desire to kill Olivier.
One of the knight throw a punch to Olivier's face that made him stumble backward.
The other knight then kicked hi

[2nd Prince's Palace]The Empress, Kalliste sat face to face with Azazel, a delighted smile on her face.Azazel, on the other hand, was different; his gaze was vacant, and his hands were dripping with sweat.Kalliste had informed him about how she had viciously killed Olivier after he had entered her office without permission.Of course, that was just act to drew Azazel's anger."... Azazel, you should have educated your dog. It goes the same for everyone."Her eyes narrowed as she calmly sipped a cup of tea, continuing to infuriate Azazel.Azazel was beyond outraged, to the point that he couldn't even speak.They were laughing behind the Empress' back only a few days before, but now the Empress was laughing right in front of him.After hearing it from the person he despises, he was distraught."Oh my Azazel~ no need to be that surprised. Didn't I come here as you requested and speak with you face to face?"

[2nd Prince's Palace]Verena awoke half asleep, rolled over, and pulled the covers up a little higher.(Is it... midnight?)She could hear Azazel breathing softly beside her as he slept, and just hearing that sound was enough to make her smile as she felt warm within.In the faint light, she peered at the clock and was surprised to see that it was past midnight.She looked up at the window and noticed that the curtains were partially open, allowing her to see the full moon gradually sinking.(... I'm really tired for no reason.)She thought to herself, and gazed outside the window in wonder.Suddenly, she felt warm arms wrapped around her from behind."Azazel...? You're awake?""Mmmh..."He nodded and softly yawned as he gently put his chin on her shoulder, his hair tickling her exposed skin."... why did you wake up so early?"His voice was a little dry, and his eyes were sleepy as he asked.

"Did the rumors reach you?""About the Crown Prince being a paedophile?""Yes, yes! That!""Even rumors stated he raped a number of children!""It was obvious to me! Not only the aristocrats are wrong in their head, even the Crown Prince, the future of this Empire is the same kind of trash!""... we're doomed.""His second highness is fitting to the throne! While the Crown Prince is hiding inside his room, he brings many victories!""You're right!"Thanks to Azazel by spreading such rumors according to the information Olivier gave, it became a hot topic overnight.Everyone was talking about it till it reached the ears of the Empress.The Empress, who had heard everything, turned to face Crown Prince Drystan with a frown on her face."...... both his majesty and I keep your filthy secret so carefully hidden... just how?!!"Drystan, who was terrified by the Empress, responded with a shake of his head.

[2nd Prince's Palace]As she collapsed to the ground, blood began to form on her shoulder and trickle down.Her eyes widened as she looked at her own bloody hand that had reached her bleeding shoulder.Her palm trembled as she realized it was becoming more difficult to breathe."M-Milady! I-I will get help right away!!!"The coachman screamed in fear as he dashed toward the entrance, hoping to find someone who could help Verena, who was still in pain."Ugh—"Her eyes squeezed severely as her vision blurred, but she opened them wide and clutched the ground with both hands.(I.. I can't die yet!)As tears welled up in her eyes from desperation, she thought to herself.(I already died once— I won't die this easily this time! Not before my revenge!)Blood continues to flow freely from the bullet wound."VERENA!"A few maids and butlers, as well as the coachman and Azazel, dashed from t

(Never seek for forgiveness from someone who isn't worthy.)(There are more dark secrets hidden within this Empire than you could ever think.)(Just kill anyone who is in your way.)(Bring no mercy to those who wronged you.)When they spent time together, Azazel was reminded of all the things Verena had said.He always carries all of those words close to his heart in order to make her happy.As Azazel predicted, the citizens began to distrust the Imperial Family after receiving frequent bad news from them.While Azazel was on his way, he locked Verena in his room and guarded her from the outside by the twins.Verena was, of course, taken aback. She couldn't bring herself to question Azazel because he didn't waste any more time with his new plans and left her in the dark.Verena, who was still resting in her room, gently got out of bed, despite the fact that her shoulder discomfort was weighing her down.As soon as
Tyrant's Obsession 49. Complicated
[Empress' Palace]Azazel's forehead veins appeared as he frowned at both Edgar and Ethan, who had disobeyed his orders."I just asked both of you to make sure she got a decent night's sleep— but instead she's exhausted and catching a cold?!"As the twins stood still in their stance with their heads lowered, Azazel screamed furiously inside his quiet office."...... Your Highness, pardon my rudeness, but— 'It's better to stick to the plan no matter what occurs than to be hasty and ruin everything.' Milady was the one who said it."Because he didn't want Verena's potion to go to waste because of Azazel, Edgar fearlessly voiced out all Verena had told him.When Azazel heard Edgar's statement, he just clenched his teeth and tried to relax.(In many respects, he is correct. It was too late in any case; she'd already created two potions at the same time.)Azazel considered Verena's decision before shaking his head a
Tyrant's Obsession 50. The Rebellion
Even though the Empress mysteriously disappeared, causing a stir throughout the Empire, the birthday celebration will go forward without a hitch.Verena, who was still sick at the moment, was incapable of helping. Azazel purposefully fed her sleep pills so that she could relax peacefully.Theodore managed to put the potion on every food that could block the energy inside the body for a day, rendering them unable to use their elemental powers and preventing them from retaliating.Everything was completed flawlessly without the Emperor's knowledge.Azazel had a lot of free time because he wasn't permitted to go to the hall to celebrate his birthday as he was an illegitimate child."... We will kill 30 households as planned."Azazel faced his own group, which had been separated into teams. He led them, as well as placing the scroll of the palace's structure."You can take care of the west gate."He gave the instruction, and

Azazel swung his sword to slash off Gavril's right arm before the Emperor could even finish his lines, startling him with the abrupt move."Shut up, you're too annoying."The Emperor's face was drenched with blood when he realized he had already lost an arm.As he screamed in anguish, his voice was so loud that it resonated across the hall, the shock almost drove him insane.His body shook, and his left hand tried to grasp the other hand that had been taken from him.Azazel, who was standing before him, had a thought in his mind.(Now that I think about it, it was Verena who suggested this rebellion.)He calmed down for a while before raising his hand and signaling one of his followers to stop the Emperor's bleeding, which they promptly did.Gavril was losing his sanity after his illegitimate son, whom he had abandoned, slayed his hand."Take him to the basement."Azazel gave the order, his voice was cold, and his

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...

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.

"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.
