Villainous Husband, the One You’re Obsessed With Is Over There - Chapter 6

Chapter 3.2

‘Boring.’

When he thought it was rather bothersome, he reflexively yawned and laid down beside her. The sound of the Empress’ breath was even and deep.

‘…What was her name?’

Well, it didn’t matter.

In the end, he gave up recalling. It was because, if necessary, he could just ask her again later—ten times or twenty times. And, if the Empress ever gets annoyed, he could just easily cut her head off.

…It would be interesting to watch how long this woman would never cross the line.

Just like that, Raniero Actilus fell asleep in a place other than his own bedroom.

ﾟ· : * ✧ * :· ﾟ

My whole body ached and screamed in pain as if I had been beaten. Shutting my eyes, I slowly clenched my trembling fingertips.

‘Hnn…’

Even though Raniero was said to have good skills in bed, unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it at all. I was so nervous and anxious that I couldn’t feel anything but a dull pain that seemed to arise from a far away place. Aside from that, I didn’t think Raniero enjoyed it, either… But, strangely, he was unwilling to stop.

Why would he do that, then?

After trying to ponder for a moment, I stopped. It was because I shouldn’t try to judge His Majesty’s intentions with the brain of a commoner like me.

‘Uh…?’’

My back feels itchy… Is this hair? However, I’m certain I didn’t untie my hair before I went to bed?

“You’re fidgeting, Empress.”

Oh…

At those words, I stopped moving.

“Come on, I will count to three. One, two…”

Argh!

‘I need to open my eyes before he counts to three…!’

When I opened my eyes, under the bright morning sunlight, a more beautiful man was lying obliquely and gazing at me. If I were a sculptor, witnessing his face and body that was so perfect like this would make me go back to the studio crying and shatter all the work I had made so far with a hammer. Since it was morning and I was still not fully awake, I admired the subject for a moment without fully realizing it. It was only a couple of seconds later that I suddenly came to my senses.

…No, why is His Majesty still here?

“It was annoying to go back.”

Oh, it was annoying… If that’s the case, it was understandable since he hates such things the most in the world.

“Ah…”

Nodding my head, I quickly grabbed my mouth.

…Did I just ask out loud why His Majesty is here? Did I seriously do such an impious thing?

“Hm… Don’t you know that even a fool can read your expressions?”

I was flustered like a fool. Not only that, I had no idea how to make my thoughts invisible to Raniero. It was a little embarrassing to see him and me in bed together in bright daylight like this after what had happened last night. Glancing away, I could see my wedding shoes, ribbons and countless underskirts all scattered in a mess. In addition, my hair was half loose for some reason, and my scalp was hurting slightly.

Raniero stretched his slender body before raising his upper body.

“The Empress is rather lazy?”

I was terrified after hearing his words and looked around in a hurry, trying to find a watch.

“It’s past nine.”

Meanwhile, Raniero, who somehow possessed mind-reading techniques, kindly answered me. I was horrified. Even though I came from the twenty-first century in Korea, where there was no tyrannical monarch, and no matter how tired I was, I couldn’t have known that it was too late for the Imperial Family to wake up at nine am.

…The Kings of the Joseon Dynasty would get up at five am and greet each other.

Oh, since there is no one higher than His Majesty the Emperor in the Palace, I could omit the greeting. Nonetheless, why didn’t anyone wake me up? While I was confused, Raniero rang the bell that was near the bed. Only then did the maids enter the room with our clothes.

He then loosely yawned by my side before opening his mouth again.

“Also, it seems that your dresses aren’t colorful at all. It’s monotonous, boring and quite flimsy, Empress.”

…Didn’t he say they did well in choosing me yesterday? Furthermore, didn’t he say it wasn’t bad for an empress like this, too?

Well, it didn’t matter. I understand since his whims are beyond imagination. After muttering, ‘It’s not fun,’ for the twentieth time today, Raniero took off the blanket and stepped out of bed as he continued his words.

“Please take it seriously. Wouldn’t it be a problem if I got bored and killed the Empress because of that?”

“Y-yes. I’ll fix it.”

“Good.”

At that, he ambled barefoot on the carpet in the bedroom.

‘Unngh!’

As I glanced up, I hurriedly shut my eyes again. It was because it looked like he still wasn’t even wearing a thread. Even though the maids approached him and held out his clothes, he struck them with a single gesture as if annoyed before dropping them to the floor.

He soon casually left the Empress’s bedroom…naked.

I stared at the door where Raniero had left. I didn’t even think about trying to control my facial expression. Now that I was no longer in the same space as him, it meant that I could freely express my stupid expressions to my heart’s content.

It was only after he left that the maids came to me.

Probably because they were the ladies of noble families, although they had seen Raniero like that, they had a very professional, expressionless expression painted on their faces.

“We’ll be helping Your Majesty get ready.”

At first glance, it seemed like my new identity was newly engraved as I saw them politely bowing their heads in front of me, washing their hands and bringing out my clothes.

Saliva ran down my throat.
