I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 89

The emotions contained in the black eyes, so dark that even light could not shine through, were too clear.

Lust, greed.

Desperation and affection.

Tess, who took me to the entrance of Hill Palace, brushed my cheeks with the back of his hand.

“Please don’t tease me too much.”

My childhood friend with a pretty eye smile lightly put his lips to my forehead.

“I will only send you off here. See you next time.”

He quickly disappeared from sight with flying steps.

“Oh, Euseniel.”

When I got to the room, I burst into laughter. I buried my nose as Euseniel’s scent still remained in my hand.

“I could have locked you up.”

You, who I thought would push me away saying no, cried prettily.

Black eyebrows quivering, eyes wide open, lips trembling.

I feel good as Euseniel’s expression is getting more and more diverse.

“Hahaha, Euseniel. My Euseniel.”

I think I’ve been rewarded for holding back the urge to touch her lately. Yes, I can endure this much.

The strategy of pretending to be mature and being patient was proven effective.

“Euseniel, my Euseniel.”

Calling the name of my loved one, I injected magic into the empty space between the bed and the fireplace.

Euseniel, the reason Hill Palace looks narrower than it looks is because there is a hidden room. I can’t show you.

The other side of the door was so dark that it was impossible to see an inch ahead. But without hesitation, I took a step forward.

A faint light emanated from the magic stone embedded in the wall. Entering the door, crossing the empty space and going through one more door to find a hidden space.

A bluish light was pouring from one side of the wall in the room, but it was not from a glowing magic stone.

It was the light from the first Emperor’s body half-embedded in the wall. With his eyes closed, he looked terribly calm.

The man who made the first contract with the devil to come to earth. A devil that created a justification for intervening in the human world by dwelling in a human body.

— Catch her and lock her up.

A devil that instigates desire by continuously stabbing on my vulnerable spots.

“Then Euseniel will hate me.”

No, would she cry a little prettily?

I was ecstatic just imagining it, but I clenched my teeth and strengthened my two fists. I could feel the blood flowing from my palms, but I didn’t open them.

“I will never be like you, Founding Emperor.”

The first Emperor, who shed a lot of blood in the war, was eventually taken over by the devil. He stabbed himself in the heart during the last moment he remained in his mind.

By killing his body, the devil was temporarily banished from this land.

However, since there were still people who wanted the power of the devil, it was persistently putting its foot in the human world.

“I will live a long, long time with the person I love.”

I also wanted the devil’s power, but I shouted as I declared that I will not lose to the whispers.

I left the cold room that seemed to freeze even the warmth that Euseniel had given me.

In order to control the devil, I had to keep my mind calm, but there were too many things that made me angry.

“Apart from Liesl and Gilber, who were mentioned before, which family approaches Hardland?”

“No family has taken the initiative, but several families have offered their support to Weathering Blest.”

“Are they trying to ask him to build a bridge to get closer to Euseniel?”

“It is supposedly that way. In particular, the family that offered sponsorship had a man about the same age as Lady Hardland.”

The wizard will reject it on his own. However, I didn’t want her to look at the wizard either, so my murderous intent boiled over.

“I want to kill you…….”

I was afraid that if he wandered in front of my eyes, I would kill him without even realizing it. So I had the Concium do the things he had to do as a wizard belonging to the imperial family. Maybe he has realized his place now, and wasn’t pushing himself too hard on Euseniel.

I shouldn’t see any blood.

I can’t give the devil any room.

“Okay, you may go.”

The chief attendant left me alone in the room.

I’m lonely, Euseniel.

— Take her. Go on. Put her in your arms and covet her.

I can hear my breathing getting louder and louder.

Bang!

There was the sound of something exploding, and I ran out of the room from the choking air.

“Infinite glory to the heart of the Empire.”

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Wandering around the palace aimlessly, I ran into Aurin Xuen and Ethyl Bonart.

Bonart was really fond of Aurin Xuen. He’s a really capricious fellow. His heart leaned toward someone else just because Euseniel hadn’t been around for ten years.

“I heard that Marquis Xuen is working hard.”

“It is an honor, Your Majesty.”

“What brought you here, Sir Bonart?”

It was something worth pointing out because it was quite far from the Knights.

“Ah, that.”

Ethyl Bonart, who was always soft-spoken, hesitated and laughed.

“Were you two having a secret meeting? Oh my, I got in the way.”

Without giving the other person a chance to deny it, I quickly turned around.

Aurin Xuen still liked Bonart from a long time ago, so I don’t think the two of them felt I was getting in the way. I felt better.

“Ah…….”

My legs stopped at the sudden thought.

Euseniel, knowing that Ethyl Bonart liked her, didn’t show anything. Even though he changed his mind, she seemed unconcerned.

As if she knew it was going to change.

I suddenly became scared.

I fear that Euseniel will treat me that way.

I’m afraid she’ll just throw me away.

A few days later, Ruby Daidi contacted me. When she asked if she could visit, I agreed.

“Hello, Lady Hardland!”

Ruby Daidi, who greeted me in a lively way, held out a package, saying it was a gift. What was inside were twelve magic stones made of diamonds. My family could afford it, but wouldn’t it be too much to present it as a gift?

“This is all I can give you! Please accept it!”

Ruby, reading my worries, bowed her back.

“Don’t bow recklessly, Lady Daidi. People will look at you oddly.”

It wasn’t sarcastic, it was pure advice.
