Villainous Husband, the One You’re Obsessed With Is Over There - Chapter 11

Chapter 6

When someone said something unfair, it was not only unfair but also injustice.

The esteemed Madam struck her chest.

“That girl who has nothing must have been very good at her sleeping skills. His Majesty spent the first night in her room.”

At her mother’s words, Sylvia freaked out.

“Mother, be careful with your words.”

“I don’t want to hear it! Why did we wait and lower our values? Oh, all of this was in vain…!”

It was because even though Sylvia was waiting for the Emperor to marry her, she now had lost her marriage just like that. Her face turned red at the sudden attack. Ever since the Second Princess of the Unro Kingdom was decided to be the Empress, the esteemed Madam would make a stab at her like this all the time.

The next moment, Sylvia ran up to her room with shame.

Afterward, Marquis Jacques followed his little sister’s back with his glance. He didn’t show any signs of going after her, deciding that it would be better for him to be with his mother, the lady’s maid of the Imperial Palace, than his younger sister, who now became just a nuisance.

As he quietly told the servants to leave them, he sat next to his mother, who was about to lie down, and lowered his voice.

“Mother, His Majesty does not seek the Empress after the first night. Isn’t that so?”

“It is, but…”

“Don’t worry too much. Who am I? Aren’t I, Vice Minister and the current Marquis Jacques? His Majesty’s every move is in my hands.”

With her eyes closed, the esteemed Madam opened one of her eyes to him. The trusty son patted his chest with a very confident attitude and grinned.

“His Majesty isn’t interested in her at all.”

“….”

“It means he doesn’t have affection for her.”

Suddenly, she leaned slightly towards her son.

“How could a girl who has been mingling for just one day control His Majesty? If we give him the right excuses, His Majesty the Emperor will get rid of her with his own hands. Mother knows what His Majesty’s like, don’t you?”

“….”

“What we need is a justification, mother.”

As her son repeatedly emphasized his words with strength, the esteemed Madam nodded her head.

“All right. If it’s the fault of that girl, it’s overflowing. At an appropriate time, I should speak to His Majesty.”

“Don’t be too impatient, just wait a little.”

Marquis Jacques smiled warmly as he kissed the esteemed Madam’s dry cheek. In his eyes, there was a ‘principle’ that the Emperor, who solved everything based on interest, kept it.

…Anything that harms the country is to be eliminated immediately.

‘That’s why the Empire is now enjoying unprecedented prosperity.’

The Empire of Actilus, which seemed to be about to collapse under an impromptu tyrant, ironically shone most dazzlingly right now… to the extent that people outside the Palace mistake Raniero for a wise King. And, an empress idling, looking only for her maid from her home country…?

Whoever saw it would think it was detrimental to the prosperity of Actilus. Obviously, His Majesty would surely be angry.

All they need is to just set it up.

A solution to prove that she would be ruining the Kingdom…

Just in time, it was already the budget approval period. All ministries’ budgets would be directly approved by both the Emperor and the Empress. However, the Empress wasn’t working at all right now…

Marquis Jacques smiled with a smile of conversion.

Calling Cisen impatiently, I asked for her to serve me my meals. Nevertheless, the esteemed Madam stopped me, saying that she had not yet been fully educated.

However…

…Wouldn’t Cisen’s meal service be overwhelmingly convenient? She knew everything about Angelica’s habits and her eating habits. It goes without saying that people who know me well and care deeply are much more comfortable with me.

I muttered involuntarily.

“Can’t we just have Cisen serve my meals from now on? It’s more comfortable…”

It was only when I saw the mixed joys and sorrows on the faces of Cisen and the esteemed Madam that I realized what had just come out of my mouth.

Ugh… My mouth is a mess.

Even though I had already planned to try to side with Cisen and keep her by my side, I didn’t mean to do that so early like this.

‘This is a failure.’

A cold sweat trickled down my back.

It was because doing such a thing would completely destroy the face of the maids and the esteemed Madam. To be honest, I thought she would change her tactics ever since. Instead of continuing to ostracize me and let me live comfortably like this, she could just give me a mountain of work instead. Wouldn’t that be harder on me? However, the esteemed Madam was still somehow making these empty threats and sticking to a schedule that was comfortable for me?

Besides, for some reason, she brought me Cisen without saying anything.

I exclaimed inwardly, enjoying the leisurely time. On Mondays, I would go to the library to borrow books that seem helpful for escaping, and on Tuesdays, I would take a walk in the garden where the rosebuds are starting to bloom…

It was never possible to run into Raniero!

With that thought, I didn’t even look around or think much about where I was going, neither the main hall nor the main Palace.

…But, I shouldn’t have done that.
