70. Temple (1)
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When 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 entire uniform.
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—

"... 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
Tyrant's Obsession 1. Her Pure Ambitions
"Lady Verena Zielle?"Despite the frigid atmosphere he projected with his gaze, his crimson eyes shone brightly.His lustrous golden hair, on the other hand, was well-tamed for someone who was continuously at war."I deeply apologize for the interruption in the middle of your affairs, Your Highness."I smiled as I bowed politely to Azazel von Elysian, the Elysian Empire's second prince."Raise your head, Lady Verena. What is it that has drawn the Lady of the Zielle Household to my humble palace?"Azazel's piercing crimson eyes peered at me, a glimmer of surprise in them, but his speech was absolutely monotone.I raised my head and chuckled as I placed my hand on the chest."Your Highness, you're far too humble. It's such a lovely palace.""Forget the formalities. What has brought you here?"His eyes grew colder as he stared down at me.With a confident look on my face, I straightened up and walked toward hi
Tyrant's Obsession 2. His Overflowing Secrets
After Verena had left the second prince's palace with Theodore, her new personal knight, Azazel looked out the window and noticed how bright the sky was.As if the sky was protecting his happy feelings."Verena..."As he remembered Verena's lovely figure, his cheeks flushed.Her stunning jet-black hair reaches her waist, as well as her powerful, confident brilliant aquamarine eyes. They make him unable to avert his gaze away from her.And how his heart flutters when he discovers she has visited him.He has a secret that only he knows about.It is that he loves her so much that it drives him insane."I can't believe she went out of her way to ask me for marriage."Azazel understands that simply wanting Verena isn't enough. For a person like him, falling in love with someone like her, is painful.He, an illegitimate child, not to mention, the second prince that no one wanted in the first place, fell in love wi
Tyrant's Obsession 3. The Engagement
"My~ Such an energetic little sister I have... So much that it's sickening for me to bear."I smiled bitterly, a sweet sickening smile that made her cute furious face even angrier.Her violet eyes glowed with unsaid wrath, ready to erupt at any moment."You're trying to meet the Crown Prince on purpose, didn't you?!"(Ah, so she thought I was looking for the Crown Prince. Let's play along for a bit. Since, I'm bored anyway.)"Oh? Is it that obvious?"With a mischievous smile, I questioned her, and she balled her hands into fists."How dare you!"".........""Didn't you realize I'm the most qualified candidate to marry the Crown Prince?""And I'm sure you're aware that you're not the only candidate, Riona.""... You-!"Another familiar voice emerged before she could even ye
Tyrant's Obsession 4. Her Visit
"What do you think about the Vad Clan?"I asked while taking a sip of my cup of black tea, enjoying my stay at the second prince's palace.It's been three days since my father and I had that pointless argument. So, I decided to visit Azazel today to discuss the Vad clan.When I mentioned the Vad clan to Azazel, who was sitting in front of me, he raised his eyebrows."The dog of the Imperial Family? Since I don't have the acknowledgment from the Emperor, I do not receive anyone from the Vad Clan to assist me. However, I am aware that they pledge loyalty to the Imperial Family."At least three or four members of the Vad clan were given to each member of the Imperial Family.Azazel, on the other hand, did not receive anyone since he was not recognized by the Emperor."Why do you ask about that clan?"I laughed as I set the cup down on the table and gave him a teasing smile."Since we're going to rebel soon, we need supporte
Tyrant's Obsession 5. True Ambitions
[Ciel Casino]I turned my gaze toward Theodore, who appears like a lost small child. The sight made me chuckle as we both entered the casino after saying our fake identities to the workers."Is this your first time at a casino, Theodore?"I asked with a slight smile as he nodded his head as an answer."Follow me."As we passed the people gambling with the money they are so proud of, I led him to a quieter area.Also, because it's Theodore's first time in such a place, he appears enthralled."A casino, as you know, Theo, is a location where certain sorts of gambling are permitted. Every kind of rotten person gathered here like mice."He was only a step behind me as I stood at the corner."Ciel Casino. This is my father's casino, which he established under a fake identity."I witnessed people wasting their time, money, and lives at this casino.In my previous life, when I was sixteen years old, I discov
Tyrant's Obsession 6. Toward The Vad Clan
[2nd Prince's Palace]Azazel's grip on the paper tightened as he read the details from Verena, while Verena, who sat across from him, maintained a calm smile."...... Are you saying this is the 'entire' plan until the rebellion...?"Azazel raised his head, his gaze meeting Verena's calm aquamarine eyes."Yes, I have already calculated everything. Things that might or might not happen were also put into consideration."Azazel chuckled, and soon he stifled a laugh, a satisfying laugh."That's what I expected! Lady Verena Zielle... You took advantage of my previous plans, merged them together with your own, and came up with this idea! Isn't that right?!"His enthusiasm was on point as Verena had expected, since Azazel is that kind of person.She knows well that he wouldn't stay put after reading her whole plan.(.... This plan... is too perfect that I can't even put it into words.)He narrowed his eyes at her as he p
Tyrant's Obsession 7. Searching For the Twins
"Open a way for us, Theodore." After the three of them discovered a thick wall that separated the Imperial Palace's territory between the Vad Clan's, Azazel turned his gaze toward Theodore. "I understand." Azazel and Verena took a step back as Theodore nodded and walked forward. "Do it silently." Theodore nodded in response to Azazel's words and took a deep breath before slowly raising, then slamming his hand on the ground beneath them. Azazel and Verena's eyes widened in surprise as the ground underneath them abruptly broke open and fell down without warning. "......!" However, neither Azazel nor Verena screamed. Because they know the knights will locate them if they make a single sound. (So much for being quiet...) Verena thought, her vision darkened by the new, unfamiliar sight. "Are we inside the ground?" She asked, her attention fixed on the ground because she couldn't see anything i

Tyrant's Obsession 69. Rho (2)
"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. Our worlds were too different.Either I went to that light or I pulled her into the darkness.I choose the second option. Walking into the light would hinder my progress and accomplishments.But lur

"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.
