"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.

Tyrant's Obsession 55. Marriage Preparations
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

"Verena..."I reached for him, drawing him down into a desperate kiss, his smile lit by the moonlight from the window, almost too gorgeous to be true.As I arched up against him, dizzy from the need for more, he slid his fingers inside me and stroked me there as well."Mmmh...!"All of a sudden, it was too much, and I cried out his name as a euphoric climax engulfed my entire body.As I flopped back against the bed, my thoughts were jumbled, and I threw my arms around him and drew him closer, hoping to please him in return.-I awoke slowly, still half asleep, and moved over, pulling the covers higher above me.I could hear Azazel breathing softly beside me as he slept, and even that sound was enough to make me feel warm and comfortable.(It was a great night.)I smiled to myself, suddenly feeling giddy al
Tyrant's Obsession 59. Uncontrollable Feelings
"Heya Olivier."As I trailed behind Azazel, he greeted the unique stone monument in front of him.(This place... is calming and quiet. This is a spot I'm sure Olivier would enjoy.)I smiled to myself as Azazel and I sat in front of the gravestone, spreading the fabric on the green grass.Azazel placed a bottle of whiskey on top of the monument, and I placed a flower bouquet on top of it."A lot of things happened after you left us... but I guaranteed that it was for the better."Azazel and I both wore the bracelet we had gotten that day to commemorate our friendship."We were successful in seizing the throne and joining the Imperial Family. I've now ascended to the position of Emperor."As I glanced at Azazel, I realized how much of his misery was hidden under his playful smile.Given that Olivier was Azazel's childhood friend, I'm certain his death grieved him greatly, and he agonized every day thinking about him.

"Verena!"Azazel suddenly caught both of my hands, and I stopped mumbling to myself as I focused my gaze at his worried crimson eyes."Would you please take a deep breath and relax?"He pressed his forehead to mine with a reassuring smile."Calm your breathing... and relax yourself."I attempted to settle myself down in the same way he did, matching my breathing to his.(... W-what have I done..? My emotions have become uncontrollable.)I trembled and leaned myself toward Azazel and apologized to him."I'm sorry... I'm really sorry...""...shssh.. It's alright, it's alright."He patted my back reassuringly as he embraced me to a hug and I felt myself on the verge of tears.(His scent... it's really Azazel... right... I have Azazel.)I closed my eyes back as I leaned to his comfort. Little did I know that a shadow fell over his eyes as he comforted me.-"Should we... go on a break
Tyrant's Obsession 61. Ocean (2)
"Why don't we take our shoes and socks off and wade in the shallows?"Azazel grinned like a fool when I accepted his offer right away. I stepped into the water as soon as I was barefoot, much like Azazel, who did it cheerfully.(It's... refreshing and cool.)Azazel stood on the beach, his trousers rolled up slightly, tentatively approaching the sea."Oh! Isn't this a breath of fresh air, Verena?!""Yes it is."With my toes drenched, I gave a startled jerk as the tide rolled out, pulling the sand with it and touching my flesh.My eyes widened in amazement as I looked down at the departing wave as Azazel chuckled while he examined my actions.The two of us then took a stroll along the sand, taking in the sensation of the waves tickling our feet and the sand squishing between our toes."Oh.. it's a shell."It was cracked as I picked it up from the sand."What a shame, it's not perfect."My eyes na
Tyrant's Obsession 62. Her Feelings
"Azazel...?"He launched himself at me and wrapped his arms around me, tumbling both of us onto the soft bedsheets with his abrupt tackle.We laid there, softly giggling. I cuddled my body against his and gently stroked his back.Azazel tightened his grip and the room spun around us as he rolled us over.As he formed a naughty look and a copy grin, I found myself pinned beneath him. Then I notice that my heart rate has increased.Azazel intertwined his fingers in mine, forcing them into the bed, and dropped a succession of sweet kisses on my neck, speeding up the pace even further.(... I think I would fall more deeply if he kept doing this.)-My body was hurting in the morning, and I felt quite weary from the night before.(Well, given that we went two rounds, it's understandable.)I sighed to myself as I drew the covers even higher over my exposed body and waited for Azazel to arrive since he had work to
