I Became the Empress' Perfect Regret Chapter 10
Josiah's POVBella's reckless decision to elevate me to emperor in defiance of public opposition quickly triggered a massive backlash.Rebellions erupted all across the nation, with every faction marching under the banner of executing the demon consort.At first, Bella managed to handle the unrest, but as the rebel armies multiplied, she clearly began to struggle.The sheer exhaustion left deep, dark circles under her eyes, and she lost a shocking amount of weight in a matter of days.Despite the chaos, she still insisted on coming to my palace every single day to keep me company.I set down my cutlery and looked at her. "Bella, is it really worth throwing away everything you have just for me?"She froze and forced a faint smile. "Josiah, I had absolutely nothing when I first met you. Now that I am giving up this throne for you, can you finally forgive me?"Smiling, I picked up a piece of meat and placed it on her plate. "Bella, there is actually something I never told you."S
I Became the Empress' Perfect Regret Chapter 9
Josiah's POVEver since my faked death and temporary departure, Bella had crossed into a state of sheer paranoia.Not only did she place countless eyes around me to monitor my every move, but she also refused to go anywhere without me. She even forced me to sit right beside her on the throne during morning court while she debated matters of state with her ministers.Eventually, some of the officials couldn't stand it any longer."Your Majesty! This flies in the face of all propriety! His Majesty's presence here is a blatant interference of the state affairs!""Indeed, Your Majesty! You disregarded all objections to replace the statues of the gods with His Majesty's face. Combined with his sudden resurrection, rumors are already spreading among the commoners that he is a demon!""Your Majesty! For the sake of the empire, we implore you to execute His Majesty!"The ministers' protests came in relentless waves. I sat high above them, listening to their demands for my head.Instead
I Became the Empress' Perfect Regret Chapter 8
Josiah's POVBella's sudden emotional outburst startled me.I tried to twist out of her grip, but she only held me tighter, as if trying to merge me into her very flesh and bone.It wasn't until I began to suffocate and frantically slapped at her arms that she finally released me. Her eyes were bloodshot and wild."Josiah, from now on, you are the only one I will ever have by my side. Never abandon me again, okay?""Like hell I will," I thought.But looking into her eyes, I nodded anyway.I hadn't forgotten my task. Only by calming her down could I get home sooner.Glancing at Harry, who was still bound to the pillar behind her and looking on the verge of collapse from exhaustion, I frowned. "Since I'm back, untie him and let him go."Truth be told, I didn't hate him. At the end of the day, he was just another tragic casualty sacrificed at the altar of imperial power.If Bella hadn't enabled him, he would never have dared to treat me with such disrespect.When Bella fancied
I Became the Empress' Perfect Regret Chapter 7
Josiah's POVThe memories Bella had carved into my mind were so deeply painful that the mere sound of her voice made me scramble backward in retreat."Bella, what is the point of this?"As my sigh echoed in the room, the figure before me finally came into focus.Though it had only been two weeks since I left, Bella looked like an entirely different person. She had lost a shocking amount of weight, and her once-expressive eyes were completely bloodshot. It looked as though she hadn't slept a wink in days.It was impossible to connect this haggard soul with the high-spirited empress she used to be.Noticing my startled gaze, Bella frantically smoothed down her robes and adjusted her hair."Josiah, I'll go back and clean myself up right away. I'm not ugly. Please don't hate me, okay?"The sight instantly brought back a memory. Years ago, when I was struggling by her side through her darkest days, she had asked me why I chose to stay with her.Naturally, I couldn't tell her the tr

Josiah's POVI had no way of knowing what happened after that.All I remembered was the icy metal of the blade and the sheer, suffocating terror of death closing in on me."No!"I screamed, bolting upright in bed. Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly.As I stared at my familiar bedroom, my heart was still hammering against my ribs.Did I… make it back?"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"Before I could process anything, Mom pushed the door open and walked in. Her expression softened with concern as she pulled me into a tight embrace. "What on earth did you dream about? Look at you. You're drenched in sweat."Staring at the woman I had spent years yearning to see now standing right in front of me in the flesh, I still couldn't believe it.Hesitantly, I reached out and touched her cheek. "Mom… is it really you?"Mom rolled her eyes and immediately slapped my hand away. "What kind of question is that? If I'm not your mom, whose mom would I be? You must have sl
I Became the Empress' Perfect Regret Chapter 5
Third-Person POVBella still shook violently whenever she recalled that scene.Just moments ago, Josiah had been full of life, standing tall and condemning her heartlessness in front of everyone.How could he have turned into a cold corpse on the floor in the blink of an eye?It all happened so fast that her mind couldn't even process it.By the time she reached out and touched his lifeless cheek, it was already too late."Josiah… I command you to get up! Are you trying to win me back with a stunt like this? Do you think I don't see right through your little game?"No one answered her."Josiah Gentry! I am speaking to you! Who gave you the audacity to ignore me?"The entire palace was deathly silent.Not a single person dared to step forward and pull her away. They could only watch helplessly as she went mad over Josiah's corpse.Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Harry rushed to her side. "Your Majesty! Don't scare me! Josiah… Josiah is already dead!""No!" Bella viole
