Chapter 10

TL: DAISY PR: BELLIS

Due to that, Cecil continued listening to his words while on top of him in a sacrilegious position.

“Even if you act cruelly, my people cannot do anything to you. The people who don’t support me would encourage this behaviour. They don’t want a virtuous Empress standing besides me. They are always trying to attack me whenever there is an opening, so a friendly and kind Empress wouldn’t help their plans.”

Cecil could understand why he told her to do wicked things to him.

Even if she kicked up a fuss, the Emperor would not say a thing. Instead, he’d actually praise and commend her actions.

If people saw that, they’d think the Emperor had fallen for a villainess and was flailing around in love. Baseless and inflated gossip would be spread around

They would mock the Emperor for his weakness if they saw it.

An Empress who only committed evil would definitely be a good enough weakness for the Emperor’s enemies. So, they’d leave her be until the moment where they could decisively finish off the Emperor.

Until then, it would be safe.

“I understand. I will do my utmost best to perform wicked deeds.”

Wouldn’t this be necessary if it was a method for survival?

“It’s a good position.”

“But would I be able to perform well…?”

Estian bluntly answered to Cecil’s worried tone.

“You can do it. You have the talent.”

“…Talent in becoming a villainess?”

“That’s right, you possessing the mouth to talk so easily in front of me can already be called talent. Especially since the other three women couldn’t even look me in the eyes and speak properly.”

“But to say I have the talent to become a villainess with just that is a bit….”

Hearing Cecil’s voice that showed how wronged she felt, Estian grabbed and pulled her arms.

Her body on top of him stumbled onto his chest, and the soft sensation felt nice.

“You won’t do perfectly, of course. So I think you’ll need practice.”

“Practice…?

A dangerous smile drew across Estian’s face.

“For now, let’s practice with the remaining time left.

Take a shower * * * or bath daily.

It was crazy in the palace.

All the knights and servants entering and leaving the place told one story.

“I’ve heard that the Emperor has fallen deeply in love with the Empress.”

It had already been a week since the wedding that threw many people off. For the woman who refused to move on the wedding day unless the Emperor personally came to pick her up, everyone had thought, ‘

As the excitement died down, everyone started to wonder.

Just why were the jewels moved out of storage and prepared here?
