All Chapters of I became the king's obsession: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"Are you going somewhere?" says Aileen as she bumps into her husband on her way to see him at his office. "Yes. I received an urgent order from the emperor. There was a rebel rampaging in Hangdong Province." "I-I see..." Aileen thought it was dangerous and wished he needed to go there. "Can you– never mind. Take care. I'll wait for you then," she added and decided not to meddle in his excellency's work. It would be childish of her. "You," says Viishaun, pointing at Athena. "Your excellency?" "Make sure the queen does not stay late. Make sure she'll eat nutritious food and don't make her skip meals." "Understood, your excellency." "I'll go now." The king turned around and took three steps forward, only to take back his steps and face the queen. He placed his hand on his waist and asked, "Aren't you seeing your husband off to the carriage?" "I-I forgot. I was spacing out," Aileen replied as she clung her hand to Viishaun's arm. The king kissed his wife's forehead and whispe

Someone threw her into a dark, cold, and unoccupied, fortified with a regular labyrinth of stone walls and contained two tunnels that led to the top of the fountain where the water flows to streams. The other one leads to the end of the mountain, a deadly cliff. "O-Ouch..." Aileen ached in pain. She felt the rope tied tightly in her hand and feet and added, “Where am I?” Aileen closed her eyes and recalled someone blocked her sense of smell. Then she lost consciousness. She'd looked around the dark room and asked where her maids and marquises were. "It's alright... calm down. Just think of this as drama..." Aileen murmured, trying not to panic, but the reality hit her. She's in real danger, so she thought of calling for help. She gathered her strength to yell, "Hello! Is there any..." but her tongue rolled back as a figure of a red-haired woman appeared, holding a sword. "P-Princess Elvira... w-what are you doing here?" "Surprise. Did you think I'd be stuck in that damn dungeon?"

"Any good news for me?' says the crown prince while sipping a glass of ottoman rice wine. "I had to silent the lady, your highness."Crown prince Vincreste gritted his teeth and replied, "So, she failed.""Yes, your highness. The king and his marquises arrived and successfully rescued the queen. Any moment from now, the carriage that carries her corpse will arrive at the imperial palace.""What a pain in the ass. It will mean new work for me. Anyway, now that we've come to this, my little brother will surely not stay still. I can't wait to see what he's up on his sleeve.""Your highness, I have another thing to report. However, you might find this ridiculous."The Crown prince smiled like an evil waiting for a dark prophecy. "I find ridiculous things attractive.""Your highness, there was light! It is bright, and it is out of this world.""Hmmm... light?""It's coming from the queen! I can't explain it, your highness, but it's not just me who saw it... Duke Fedelin was also there!"T

"So, how did the investigation go?" Viishaun asked while reading reports about the rising rebellion in the Perisia gulf."The maid testifies, and it looks like they're innocent. Besides, the queen came to see them."Viishaun sighed and massaged his forehead. Then he said, "Let them assume their work." He can't bear hearing his wife going to the detention room, only to get lonely for missing her maid."I don't think an ordinary assassin does the dirty work. Those marquises were above average despite short experience in warfare," says the butler's son, his excellency's childhood friend and one of his trusted marquises."I believe we need to investigate this further.'"I forgot to tell you that the few marquises had seen a bright light nearby the scene when we found the abandoned carriage.""Light? Aren't those guys mistaking it for a bolt of lightning?" Viishaun replied, pretending not to believe."I guess so.""Anyway, have you compensated the family of those deceased marquises?""Yes,

The sky was consoled by the sweeping of mists that showed up not too far off, creeping gradually across the sky, at last slipping across the Moon and shutting out its brilliant light. Outside, in the recently fallen dimness, the world had been changed. The sky had turned into a flickering embroidery of stars. And, the man was watching it, standing firm, holding his sword attached to his waist. He was reluctant to leave yet. But he needed to negotiate with another federation to secure support against the imperial palace and his crazy brother. "Your excellency, are you sure you won't bring me with you?" his closest marquises asked. He feared that his excellency might meet trouble on his way to another domain. "I'm entrusting you to protect the queen," the king replied. The butler's son, his excellency's most trusted marquise, gave up on accompanying the king and only heaved a heavy breath as he realized the king's intention. He knew that there must be a highly skilled marquise to gu
