[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

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.

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

Verena came out of her room and noticed the corridor was dark and silent.It's as though she's the only one there, standing and scanning the surroundings.There wasn't a single knight, nor a maid or butler to assist her. It was absolutely devoid of people and filled with silence.Only a few lights in the dark could instruct Verena to continue walking down the corridor.It was strangely silent when she exited the palace wearing only a nightgown.However, his attention was drawn to her."L-Lady Verena?!"Ethan was bewildered by Verena's appearance while she was supposed to be resting inside.It was the same with Verena, who was taken aback by Ethan's unexpected approach."... Where's everyone?"She asked, a little mystified by the unusual situation she found herself in. She was concerned that the rebellion would fail.Even in the dim light, Ethan could see Verena's troubled aquamarine eyes.As he stood

Azazel and Verena walked inside the bathroom quietly. It was late at night, and they were both vulnerable to catching a cold, but Azazel's energy will shield them both."Could you assist me in removing my nightgown first?"Verena offered gently, but Azazel was anything but that. His cheeks were hot, and his heart was pounding in his ears."S-sure."Azazel approached her and began assisting her in removing her nightgown.To make her as comfortable as possible, he delicately pulled the ribbon that was tied between the layers of fabric behind her.A thought occurred to him as he was doing his duty.(She's having difficulties like this— was because of me.)His guilt became more inside him, and tears welled up in his eyes just thinking about it.As soon as he undone the nightgown, he took it off from her body, revealing her undergarments.His eyes widened when he saw the bandages over her shoulder.He slow

"Y-you! How could you!""... Hey, Emperor, let me ask you something."Verena smirked slyly as she drew closer to him."I'm aware that you're working on an unnamed experiment."His eyes widened in surprise and a shudder ran down his spine the moment he heard the term 'experiment' coming from the most unlikely source."H-how did you—""Now, I want to ask. Aren't you thinking of using me as a guinea pig in that experiment of yours?"Gavril took a step back in panic, his heart thumping loudly in his chest and his hand trembling.It's as if he'd been overcome by a terror he'd had before."And... did you kill the Empress?""No I didn't!"He tumbled backwards out of nowhere due to the shock and anxiety he was facing without Verena's knowledge.But she could tell something wasn't right merely by his reaction.The disappearance of the Empress and her experiments."Seeing your reactio

After the conference, a week had passed. Everything went smoothly, and all of the necessary details were in the process.Today, Azazel and I headed into town together, walking hand-in-hand through the streets as we enjoyed the familiar sight where we strolled around for our first date.I smiled as we walked hand-in-hand through the familiar streets, pointing across the road."Do you remember that stall?"Azazel's face lit up with a warm smile as he followed my eyes to the corner stall selling exotic candies.I could still recall how, by chance, we had our first kiss there. I was a little embarrassed at the time, but now when I think about it, it's one of my favorite memories."That's where we had our first kiss by accident."I was trying to keep a straight face as I said that, but he looked so genuinely flustered that I couldn't stop myself from chuckling."Geez, please stop teasing me like that.."He scratched the
Tyrant's Obsession 56. Wedding
On the day of our wedding, the sky was brilliant and clear, as if to bestow its own blessings on us.I sat in front of the dresser, dressed entirely in white, and pondered for a few moments.As a result, getting dressed and presentable took a long time for me and the maids.I was alone in my chamber, waiting for the right moment, when I heard a knock at the door, and Azazel came in.As our gazes connected, he stood there, stuck in place the minute he walked into the room.For the wedding, he wore a magnificent white tuxedo that looked great on him.His gorgeous golden hair was carefully slicked back, and he appeared to be fully prepared."Hello Azazel, you're looking really handsome today."When I smiled at him, his cheeks reddened as I had predicted."Y-you're beautiful, I mean, you're usually stunning and wonderful, but you look particularly exquisite in your wedding gown—"I laughed as I heard his a

"Oh--"Azazel caught me around the waist with both hands and lifted me lightly into the air, startling me.The watching crowd applauded on us as he spun me in a circle, the skirts of my dress billowing out around me and he grinned.As he set me down again, my heart was still racing wildly, and I looked up at him, my words stuck in my mouth."You can't imagine how pleased I am right now; it's as if my heart is going to burst from the joy I'm having."Azazel grasped both of my hands in his and gripped them tightly, his eyes narrowing as he studied me.My heart skipped a beat for the first time at those calm, earnest words, and I felt a brief flutter of exhilaration.I'm starting to wonder whether I'm falling in love with him the same way he did with me."Do you mind if I kiss you?"As he asked for my approval, his voice was sweet.I nodded slowly, and his smile brightened as he leaned in for a delicate kiss, every b
