Chapter 70:

Rather than looking at him as a man, Medea looked at the Baron like a
younger brother or child, but that alone made him jealous.

Of course, if he saw the eyes Baron Hestia looked at her with, he would
have been furious.

“Empress.”

Lyle took Medea’s hand and buried her lips thickly in the palm of her hand,
sending a hot look.

“Where are you looking? I thought I told you to keep your eyes on me. ……
you don’t care about me?”

Instantly, Medea’s face heated up. Shamefully, Lord Gerrard and the others
quickly ducked their heads down—pretending not to see.

His actions determined Lyle’s first impression to Seira.

‘I can’t believe it…’

***

‘I couldn’t express my thanks.’

Seira left the audience room with a sullen face. Every time she tried to talk
to the Empress, she couldn’t say a word because the Emperor interrupted
her.

The Empress saved my brother’s life, made them aware of the existence of
the mine they didn’t even know existed, and even invested in it. She even
asked Seira, who doesn’t have any blood ties in the capital, to stay at the
Duke’s residence.

‘You must have thought me pathetic.’

“What are you so depressed about?”

Gerrard tapped Seira on the shoulder and asked. Seira looked at Gerrard
as if she had come to her senses.

“Sir Gerrard.”

“Well, you are going to Duke’s, so I won’t see you for a while.… the
Empress saw your impression well, so let’s meet again.”

“Thank you for everything!”

Seira bowed down and said. Gerrard grinned and stirred Seira’s hair.

“Yes, go to the Duke’s and work hard.”

It was a rude act against a Baron, but Seira was not offended. Gerrard
recommended her, so she was able to come this far, and he was the one
who took responsibility for it. He was like a benefactor to Seira. He actually
saved her life.

“Yes, I’ll make sure to…… I will return your favor.”

“What grace. See you later!”

Gerrard grinned and left first.

Seira agreed to stay at the palace for the time being, as she would have
been sent to the Duke’s residence later.

Even though there was a title, it was a baron of a small local estate, so the
room assigned to Seira was grand, but even this was more splendid than
her room in Hestia’s castle. Seira sat on her bed, relieved not to stay at the
knight’s barracks.

She couldn’t even imagine going to the Duke’s residence.

‘I owe you; I’ll take care of the Empress’s family……. I have to work hard!’

Clenching her fists, Seira vowed.

***

After leaving the audience room, Lyle looked glum. There were some signs
on the throne, but his face was transparent when he came out of the
audience room.

Lyle allowed Medea to send men to the Duke’s residence, but he did not
send her back to her room but made her come to his office. It was so she
could stay with him while he was working. Medea was reading the love
novel she told the maid to bring her.

“…….”

Sitting in front of the desk, Lyle gazed at Medea. She was concentrating on
the novel without even knowing that Lyle was staring at her.

At first, Sid and other officials came in and out, but they glanced at the
Empress in the office, met Lyle’s frightening gaze, and stopped entering.

Now only Sid managed to show up and post the documents.

Rattle!

Medea raised her head because he intentionally pulled out the chair.

Lyle, who stood up in front of the desk, walked in front of her, looking at
Medea.

Tapping… Tapping…

The gaze, as he approached, was sharp. Medea looked at Lyle, wondering

what was wrong.

“Is it fun? The book…….”

“It’s all right.”

Standing in front of Medea, Lyle looked down on her with a deep gaze,
making her anxious.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“What?”

“You’ve been upset since a while ago.”

“Not really……. It’s absolutely not because I feel bad that my cute Empress
smiled at another man.”

Medea was dumbfounded by what Lyle said and lightly smiled.

“You need to give off a good impression to those who have travelled a long
way to see you!”

But Lyle still looked unconvinced. Looking disapprovingly at Medea, he sat

on the couch’s armrest.

“The Empress is like that…… do you like the weak-looking type? People
with a womanly appearance.”

“No, why are you making a big deal out of this?”

“Tell me. What type do you like?”

Chapter 71:

Lyle took Medea’s love for granted after marrying her. He had never
wondered before about what kind of person she liked.

Lyle had heard women like such smooth, slick-looking types, and upon
seeing Medea’s interest, he became a little anxious and inquired.
“I like someone who listens to me well.” [t1v: HA!]

“What?”

“If I wanted a star in the sky, my ideal type would not only get all the stars
in the sky for me but the moon too. I like a person who knows and
understands my heart the best!”

Medea declared proudly, with her back straight. Lyle looked sullen.

“Is that so? I listen to everything you want, too!”

“Then let me free and dismiss the guards! I can’t even go to the library! I
want to go out!”

“When you’re with me, you are allowed to go out.”

“No. Why do I have to go with your Majesty every time?”

For a moment, Lyle was speechless.

“That’s…!”

“I don’t have to go around with your Majesty. Your Majesty must be

annoyed. Why do you insist on being and going out with me?”

“…….”

Lyle’s mouth tightly grimaced as he looked at Medea. He stared at her with

a disgruntled countenance, then abruptly sprang up from his seat and sat
next to Medea.

Now he knew Medea didn’t like him as much as he liked her. It was the
opposite of the relationship’s dynamic from before [t1v: as in Medea loved
Lyle more before].

Of course, it didn’t mean that Lyle wanted to go back to that time, but he
couldn’t help but feel miserably dismal whenever he was confronted with
the gap of her feelings compared to his.

‘Is this karma?’

Karma for neglecting Medea since the beginning of their marriage.

As Lyle calmed himself down, Medea was analyzing her words, wondering
if she had said something wrong.

‘I don’t think I said anything incorrect or improper.’

Medea glanced at Lyle’s handsome face, meeting his brooding eyes under
dark eyebrows that were frowning.

“Tell me, what kind of husband am I to the Empress?”

“A sex-loving husband.”

“…….”

Lyle was dumbfounded. But he had some self-awareness and realized he

deserved her assessment of him considering how much he bothered her.

“Ho-o-o-o.”

Lyle’s upper body, which turned to Medea completely, slowly approached.

Medea leaned back reflexively.

“When I hear that…… Should I live up to your expectations?”

“Ohh! Wait!”

Medea freaked out and slapped Lyle on the head as he tried to snatch her
skirt. Just then, a knock rang out against the door.

“……who is it?”

A voice containing a sincere desire to live echoed beyond the door.

Outside, Sid swallowed with a dry mouth.

“Your Majesty… this is Sid. May I come in?”

Lyle looked around the door of his office with an irritated glare, then looked
back at Medea. Medea was frantically arranging the hem of the dress that
had been lifted.
“Come back in five minutes.”

Then, he pulled Medea into his arms and licked her lips. Her lips were
crushed roughly but his and his tongue came in to taste her saliva.

Medea panicked and shoved Lyle’s chest in bewilderment but he didn’t

budge. Why was he so strong?

“Oh, wait….”

He hugged his waist and gasped, twisting his body under a hand fixing the
back of his neck. Lyle growled, hugging Medea, half lying on the sofa.

“……I just want to kiss you, so stay still.”

You’re lying!

A hand clasping her waist came down and started to fondle her ass over
the dress. Because the dress was thick she wasn’t provoked but she was
worried about who may see this scene.

“Hmnghh….uhnnn…….”

Medea gasped as Lyle encircled her tongue hastily as he groped her

breasts over her dress. He didn’t pull down the hem of the dress, but
Medea’s body trembled as he grazed and pinched her nipples over the
cloth as if he wanted to put his hands inside.

“Fuck……”

Muttering a swear in a low growl, Lyle looked up into Medea’s hazy eyes.
She felt like dying.

‘Should I just do it…….’

The face of Medea turned red and white as if he quickly realized the
meaning of his burning eyes. Her desperate eyes, shivering head with
excitement were cute, but Lyle decided to endure it by kissing Medea’s
fingertips because he thought pushing any further would hurt Medea.
‘Should we set up a separate room in the office or let them bring my work
to the bedroom……?’

He had no intention of following the previous emperor, who had neglected

his affairs due to his affairs with women. The previous emperor was still
firmly in control of the military, so he never was dethroned but in return, the
country was devastated and corruption ran rampant.

The bureaucrats could not complain to the emperor, but the common
people’s lives were difficult due to the widespread misconduct of officials.

It hasn’t even been 10 years since that status-quo was reversed. The
amount of work that had piled up every day was now at a manageable
level, and the state’s affairs were stable. He could not neglect government
affairs now. He certainly wanted to fulfill the duties of the Emperor.

However, his stomach was burning every day because of Empress Medea,
who he couldn’t embrace enough to be assuaged.

“Shall we do it in the bedroom? Should we do it here? If you want to do it in

the bedroom…… Can I embrace you after dinner?”

It was cute to see the fever rising on her relieved face. Medea was sure
she’d get used to those words, but she was still so embarrassed he wanted
to tease her more.

“Uh…… i-in the b-bedroom.”

“Yes, as soon as we finish dinner. Come in with me in the bath.”

He had added another thing, Medea opened her mouth in disbelief and
looked at Lyle like he was a swindler.

Lyle grinned and kissed Medea’s lips again. Why are you opening your
mouth so wide? So that it’s easy to put my tongue in?
Chapter 72:

As soon as a message was sent to the Duke’s residence a man

immediately came. Instead of sending someone else, Luke himself showed
up with a carriage, forcing Lyle to send Medea to greet him.

Lyle was preoccupied with his scheduled duties as Emperor and figured
there is no reason to be wary since Luke arrived to pick up Seira (who was
disguised as Ian).

But Lyle was in an unpleasant mood.

‘The Empress is meeting the young Baron and the Little Duke?’

She had already met the Duke, so meeting the Little Duke wouldn’t make
much of a difference. Medea was skilled at coping with her memory loss
without being detected.

Lyle attached an attendant to report what the three people were talking
about, so his curiosity would be soon sated. But still…

‘I don’t know why I have such a bad feeling.’

He knew it would be unsightly if he left the office now and interrupted their
conversation. Lyle was sure Medea would take offense. It was obvious that
Lyle would lose points and lose esteem in her eyes which weren’t much, to
begin with.

‘I want to go.’

His task was completed much faster than anticipated, probably because he
had to exert extreme concentration to keep Medea from his mind.

Sid’s rule in the office was that rushing for nothing would only increase
mistakes. It tempered the other officials in the administration, so now Lyle’s
hands were currently empty.

With no work to be done, his mind had already entirely turned to Medea.
He wouldn’t dare go and sit next to the Empress, would he? What is the
Empress talking about? Don’t tell me you’re laughing and smiling at him.….

“…….”

Sid clicked his tongue when he saw Lyle, who was wringing his hands and
agonizing. It was an act that he should not have dared to do in front of the
emperor, but Lyle was so engrossed in thought that even he did not notice.

“Why don’t you go and see?”

“What?”

Lyle replied bluntly, pretending not to know. Sid explained as he took the
papers Lyle had processed.

“Isn’t it because you are worried about the Empress meeting the Little Duke
of Card? Tsk… What’s the big deal about a spouse meeting his brother-in-
law? ….

“What would the Empress think of me if I went there?”

“You would look like an idiot.”

At Sid’s prompt reply, Lyle was speechless.

“……Do you want to die?”

“I want to live. So don’t get upset and go see.”

“Who’s going to go when you said they will look like an idiot? Are you
kidding me?”

“You’re a nuisance, aren’t you? Even if Her Majesty thinks you are
unbecoming, what does it matter if you don’t want to divorce her or ignore
her? You can do whatever you want.”

“I don’t know if you are giving advice or insults.”

“I’ve heard you’ve already locked her up. If you follow her to the meeting,
will your Majesty’s honor drop further in the Empress’s eyes? I doubt you
even have a score.”

Cough.

Lyle was silent, unsure what to say and then looked at Sid.

Sid was a guy who constantly changed women. He is good at seducing, but
he couldn’t maintain relationships.

“……it’s no use asking you.”

“Maybe I’m the only one around your Majesty who’s able to date women
properly? Besides, I can’t date a woman for a long time because of you. It
has nothing to do with my abilities!”

“I don’t trust you. Isn’t it because of your light attitude that woman can’t
trust you?”

“I think it’s because of the great and wonderful Majesty who calls me and
interrupts the date that I planned two weeks in advance!”

“…….”

Recently, Lyle has fallen in love with Medea and Sid has been able to go
on a date almost every day. In that sense, Sid had a vested interest to
actively encourage Lyle and Medea’s relationship.

Lyle looked at Sid for a long time before he decided.

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Let’s get rid of her guard first…….”

“No, that’s off the table.”

Sid clicked his tongue at Lyle’s temperamental and blunt reply.

“No, after all, isn’t the entire palace your Majesty’s residence anyway?
Even if the Empress lives in the Imperial Palace, it’s enough for her Majesty
to move freely there.”

He didn’t think of that.

“If it bothers you that the Empress walks around without your Majesty……
wouldn’t it be better to relax and oversleep at night?”

“What?”

Lyle looked at Sid in bewilderment. Sid replied very naturally,

“If you finish work early and go back to her side and go on a date with her,
she won’t say much. It is not only possible to hold it in your hands with
power you should read this on that1villainess. Your Majesty, err… It’s not
like you’re already running out of stamina…….”

The fact that Sid left out was that he was killing two birds with one stone, so
he too could get off work earlier.

Lyle was seriously deliberating about whether Sid’s suggestion had any
downsides. Indeed, Medea was unhappy about being on ‘probation’ and
not being able to return to the Empress’s Palace.

‘Relax at night……?’

That was a welcome appeal. It wasn’t impossible.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

“I wish you the best of luck, your Majesty.”

Sid turned his head and smiled at the proposition of being able to leave
work earlier.
Chapter 73:

Medea sipped her tea as she waited in the drawing-room where

distinguished guests were received. To her right, Seira sat looking nervous
and hesitated as her eyes were drawn to Medea.

But they weren’t the only two in the reception room. Servants stood at
attention against the wall as maids served refreshments.

“Your majesty, the Little Duke of Card has arrived—-”

“Empress!”

Luke appeared behind the attendant announcing his arrival. Luke had
apparently ignored the servant who would have led him to a waiting room
and came straight over. The attendant quickly stepped aside letting Luke
pass him as he rushed by and approached Medea.

“Your Majesty the Empress…It’s been a while since we’ve seen each
other.”

Luke greeted Medea politely, kneeling on one knee beside her chair.
Medea realized that she was in a situation where she had to offer her hand.
Luke held Medea’s hand, kissed the back of it, and rose up.

“Sit down.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Luke sat to her left with a smile on his face.

His eyes suddenly turned to Seira, who sat across from him at the table.

“This is Baron Hestia. He’s just arrived in the capital.”

It was the first time Luke heard of the name plus the baron’s poor
appearance did not reflect on the trends of the nobility in the capital.

Seira nervously glanced at Luke as he studied her.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ian Hestia.”

“Ah… I’m Luke Card.”

Luke then turned his attention to Medea again.

Medea smiled softly.

“I’m investing in Baron Hestia’s estate. I’d like to attend to the Baron as my
guest, but he’s taking the knight’s examinations soon.”

The knight’s tryouts were held annually every spring.

In principle, a lord of each estate could appoint a knight, but the most
qualified and honorable thing was to pass the difficult tests and receive a
knighthood from the Emperor. Because the Emperor would appoint them
after the tests prospective knights were not allowed to stay in the Imperial
Palace for fairness.

“Could you take the Baron as a guest at the Dukedom and assist him with
the exam?”

It was late autumn now, so Seira would have to prepare for the test during
winter. It was quite a lengthy duration until spring, but Medea figured the
spacious Duke’s mansion could afford a long-term guest.

“Of course, Your Majesty. Of course, I’ll listen to your suggestion!”

Luke’s response was better than Medea hoped to her request. He was
passionately enthusiastic and Medea felt a tinged of guilt internally.

Later, when he found Seira was a woman would he condemn her for
deceiving him and say, ‘How dare you fool your sibling!’

This was different from the original story; ‘I think Luke knew Seira was a
woman from the very beginning and helped her…….’

Medea hesitated and beckoned Luke. Luke looked flustered for a moment
and quickly got up from his seat and approached Medea.
As he knelt down on one knee and looked up at Medea, Medea leaned her
head towards him and whispered into Luke’s ear,

“If something surprises you later, don’t blame the Baron. I knew it all along
anyway. I want you to protect him as much as possible.”

Luke paused and searched Medea’s face, but Medea looked up and took a
sip of her tea with a nonchalant face as if she had never said something
suspicious.

Luke glanced at Seira. ‘What if I’m surprised later? Does that country
aristocrat have any secrets …….’

No matter what the reason, it was the first request that he had ever
received from his sister. Luke was ready to listen to whatever it was.

“Don’t worry. I will do whatever Her Majesty wishes.”

Medea nodded at Luke’s reliable reply.

***

After sending Seira to Luke’s side, Medea left the drawing-room. By now
Seira had probably already left the palace with Luke or was just getting the
carriage that Luke brought.

“Your Majesty, are you still at work?”

When Medea asked how Lyle was doing, as was her habit, the maid
quickly came to her side.

“Yes, but….”

Medea shot her a doubtful look as the maid was reluctant to speak. She
presumed that since the maid looked uncomfortable that there was bad
news.
“What is it?”

“His Majesty said he releases the Empress from probation. He said you
could also go back to the Empress’s Palace…….”

“What?”

But why did her expression look like it was a bad thing?

Medea instantly rejoiced and her eyes shone with delight.

“Then I can walk around?”

“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress.”

“Good! Let’s go to the library!”

Medea had saved Seira and Seira’s older brother…… she wasn’t sure if
she was missing anything………but she decided to leave it to Luke, and
now she could celebrate and play to her heart’s content.

“Wouldn’t you like to visit his Majesty? Perhaps you could thank his
Majesty.”

From her attitude, she seemed to think Lyle’s releasing of her probation
was a loss of favor. Or something about Lyle being sulky.

‘Do I have to?’

These days Lyle had been acting like a vicious loan shark with Medea. He
would demand as he groped her, to pay him back with her body……. It
wasn’t that she couldn’t, but she was embarrassed.

“It’s still daytime………I’ll do it later!”

Medea quickly turned around and headed in the direction of the library. Her
maids pestered her with anxious faces, but Medea was inflexible.

***
 

She’s not coming.….’

Lyle was waiting for Medea in his office, tapping his fingertips on the desk.

Of course, it was her free will to do whatever she wanted, but he annulled
her probation and allowed her to return to the Empress’s Palace— but she
didn’t thank him!

‘The guy who follows and chases too much is not cool. Hang in there, Your
Majesty! You’ll have to deal with discomfort but you’ll make headway.’

‘Your Majesty won’t last long anyway.’

Remembering Sid’s smug attitude, Lyle wanted to hit him but thought he
had a point.

‘I’ve only been pulling too much. Medea just runs away…’ To some extent,
he felt she also needed to struggle too.

But for how long?

Sid said he should only find her when it was the time before they went to
bed. So there was less than a half-day left.

And yet Lyle felt impatient and the wait seemed unbearable.
 

Chapter 74:

There was always a person next to the Empress so Lyle received a report
on her every move, reports were coming in every time there was a change.
Medea sent off the small duke and baron. As soon as she was told her
probation had been lifted she headed to the library. And now she was
reading a book there.

What’s so good about books?

The best thing about the library was the memory of their affair. Medea
couldn’t have forgotten, it had been so memorable.

Lyle got up from his seat, looked through the documents he had already
reviewed, sat down again, approached the window, and looked again at the
performance report and the record season he had previously checked.

Time seemed to crawl at a snail’s pace.

“…….”

Lyle found himself walking to the door determinedly and stopped.

‘Your Majesty won’t last long anyway.’

When he remembered Sid’s smirk (he denied it, but it seemed to Lyle’s
eyes Sid had been laughing at him), he couldn’t step out.

‘Dinner…… Let’s hang in there until dinner.’

He was wondering what kind of torture this was.

***

“I’m alone? You mean his Majesty isn’t coming?”

“His Majesty said he was busy with political affairs. He asks that you not to
wait and eat first.”

At the courteous words of the servant, Medea went to her seat and sat
down.

It wasn’t that long ago, but she felt strange because they had eaten
together every day for almost a month.
‘Are you really mad? I don’t think I did anything wrong…….’

The only thing she could think of was sexually rejecting him.

Perhaps she had made him feel but…… didn’t it work out the way Lyle
wanted it to anyways? ‘Besides, Lyle seemed to like my reactions and
rejections.’ [kink alert]

‘Or did I make a mistake? Something that hurt Lyle’s feelings.’

But nothing came to mind.

As she sat down and started to eat, Medea deeply pondered whether she
had upset Lyle. If it had been before, she wouldn’t have worried this much,
but since Seira’s appearance she couldn’t help but be worried if Lyle’s
heart had already moved towards Seira.

‘No, it didn’t really feel that way……. Every time Seira entered his eyes he
frowned and looked displeased…….’

Maybe hatred grew so much that it turned into love! Arghhh!

Medea, who was agonizing over the thought, wanted to tear her hair out.

Maybe she should have pretended to accept Lyle’s attentions. The thought
that Lyle might have liked Seira made her incredibly nervous.

But she had no choice but to bring Seira to the capital. ‘Taking away Lyle,
and then taking away even my dreams.…. Of course, I saved Ian’s life.….’

It wasn’t as if Medea didn’t like Lyle. But she also didn’t love him
passionately so she wasn’t confident in expressing her affection actively.

She knew she was being selfish by not liking him enough but also not
wanting Lyle to care about women—except for herself.

‘I’m being a chicken [t1v: she’s calling herself a chicken rib bone 계륵 or
weak or a kind of weakness/selfishness where someone hesitates to give
up even though it is of little interest to them]. No, it’s a little too delicious to
call it 계륵.’
As her shoulder dropped and she played with the food on her plate,
suddenly everything became tasteless. After eating her favorite dessert
Medea got up from her seat.

***

“Your Majesty, the Empress, is the temperature of the water correct?”

The voice of the maid-in-waiting came from beyond the partition where only
silhouettes could be seen. Medea nodded with a deep sigh and then turned
her head because she thought they might have not seen her approval.

‘Yes, I’ll call you if I need you.’

“Yes, Empress.”

The maidens quietly left the bathroom. Although the Imperial family and
aristocrats seemed to be used to being served in the bath, Medea refused
to be served except when she was very tired. It was uncomfortable to be
seen naked. [t1v: girl how did you survive Korean bathhouses?]

‘Because I’m in the Empress’s Palace. Will I only be able to see him on
union night?’

She didn’t know why, but it seemed that everything was returning to the
way it was in the past. Medea didn’t even know why Lyle suddenly showed
affection for her in the first place.

‘I don’t know why it appeared, so I can’t even think about what to do about
it if Lyle’s affections disappear?’

Immersed in water up to her neck, Medea sighed deeply.

She had thought it wouldn’t matter to her if Lyle’s fondness came and left.
But she couldn’t help but feel miserable thinking that it had disappeared.

‘No, I’d rather be comfortable, right? I will be able to sleep fitfully.…. You
can read as much as you want now…….’

In the first place, this was the life she had hoped for. Medea had been
cherished tenderly by Lyle for almost a month, so it’s highly likely that they
had made a child …Wasn’t this the boring life of an Empress she had
hoped for?

Oh. Suddenly, I really miss Lyle. So much.

Medea, who was squatting in the bathtub and sighing, suddenly rose from
her seat.

Then she noticed something in the bathroom she hadn’t detected before.

Originally, there were large mirrors on the left and right sides of the
bathroom, attached to the wall. But now there was a strange massive
mirror in front of the bathtub. Two large iron swans were seen supporting a
giant round mirror with wings.

“Why did you put this here in such an inconvenient location?”

Should she move it?

No, it would be too difficult.

It would be a huge undertaking to carry it because it was so big. On top of

that, wouldn’t the mirror break if she did something wrong?

Chapter 75:

‘But it’s not foggy. Is it a special bathroom mirror?’

Medea got out of the bathtub and stood in front of the mirror.

It hadn’t been long since Lyle embraced her, so her whole body was filled
with traces of love bites, that resembled petals. Lyle left traces on the back
of her neck, trailing down her breasts to her inner thighs, buttocks, her
private parts, and her waist and back.

‘Somehow, it’s a little embarrassing.’

Medea turned away, blushing, so she didn’t see someone coming out from
behind the mirror and taking off their robe.

“Millie.”

Her heart sank at the familiar voice.

“We’re gonna wash up together, right?”

As she turned around, Lyle, who had taken off his gown, greeted her with a
grin.

“Oh…….”

Lyle smiled at the happy expression on her face. He had doubted Sid’s
words, but it seemed to be very effective.

“Come here.”

When he opened his arms and spoke, Medea rushed into his arms and
hugged him. The joy he felt at that moment was indescribable, so Lyle had
to repeat to himself that this was no big deal. It was unusual.

Her breasts rubbing against him were soft and tender while his lower
organ, which was already excited by the sight of Medea’s body, now
became increasingly stiff.

Lyle lowered his hand that had been encircling her waist and clenched
Medea’s asscheek with force.

“Ouch.”

His mouth was watering because of the soft texture in his hand.

As she grabbed and hugged Lyle’s neck, he grasped and massaged

Medea’s ass while lifting her since she was shorter than him. Medea
wiggled. Now that Lyle’s penis was stabbing her in the lower abdomen, it
was bothering her.

Like Medea, Lyle became aroused when they touched due to the effects of
the aphrodisiac.
Lyle gulped, as he was about to ejaculate just by pressing against her soft
skin. Not yet. As Sid said, he was going to hug her and relax all night long.

He would be in trouble if he didn’t properly seduce her and melt down her
resistance that way she wouldn’t refuse before he embraced her. He didn’t
think she would reject him now based on her reactions but he didn’t
understand a woman’s heart.

“Will you kiss me, Millie?”

Lyle said, hoping his voice didn’t sound impatient.

As Medea pulled Lyle’s neck down at his words, the emperor leaned
towards her gently. When they kissed lightly and fell apart and looked into
each other’s eyes, their gazes intertwined.

“That’s not a kiss,”

whispered Lyle as he tugged on Medea’s waist. Medea’s lips were half-

open as if she wanted a kiss.

Lyle ran his fingertips across her collarbone and he flicked her erect
nipples. Medea moaned and looked at Lyle as if he was heartless.

Who was really cold-hearted?

“Ahh.”

He picked on her pointed nipples and gently rubbed them. Medea’s cheeks,
while looking at Lyle, began to heat up lovingly.

“Tell me what you want me to do,”

Lyle commanded while suppressing his burning desire. At his growl, Medea
shrank and took a step back.

She was running away again.

He felt like he was going to die from burning. Lyle swallowed his rough
breath and touched Medea’s breasts, then caressed her lower abdomen
and then pushed his hand between her legs.
“Ahh…ughhh…….”

As if it were unbearable to withstand his touch Medea pushed her thighs

together. However she was too late, Lyle was already tickling her wet lower
lips.

Medea took another step back as the lewd sensations grew stronger. Lyle
took two steps towards her and grabbed Medea’s waist.

“Spread your legs…. Medea…….”

Lyle rubbed her petals while groaning in a low voice. At the racy stimulus,
Medea twisted her back and shivered.

“Ah…, Your Majesty…”….”

“Please, Millie…Should I kneel and beg? Will you open your legs for me?”

The hand that had been tormenting her between her legs slipped away.
Lyle knelt at Medea’s feet. Media’s cheeks were flushed as she looked
down on the feverish enemy who looked up at her from on her knees.

“Millie, come on…….”

“Uh…….”

Hesitating, Medea spread her legs. Lyle gulped when her trembling knees
opened and her wet, dripping privates were revealed to him.

“Oh, wait! Ahh…….”

Medea hesitated and Lyle pulled her waist towards his face as he buried
his face in her core. A strange pleasure filled him as he stuck out his
tongue and swept through her folds, and licked up her erect clit and spread
her flower liquor up and down.

“Huh! Oh! Ah! Oh, my! Oh, my God—-Your Majesty!”

Sparks flew in front of her eyes while the tip of his tongue only brushed her
clit, almost making her cum.
Lyle reflexively pulled on Medea’s knee as she started to inch away. He
lightly bit her clit.

“Ugh, aha haaa! Aaaaah!

Her body tasted her first climax as he sucked her clit with a splashing
sound. Medea about to collapse, managed to hold Lyle’s shoulder. But Lyle
stuck out his tongue and started licking her flower bud up and down.

“Oh! Ahhh! Stop—oohh noo.…. Lyle! Ah!”

Firecrackers seemed to go off in her head in succession from excessive

stimulation. She tried to run away in fright but was caught by the ass as
Lyle drank heavily in her flower liquor.

“Hhhhhh ahhh, ahhh, ah!”

At her second climax, Medea’s head bent back. Lyle propped her up, as his
tongue lashed out and licked her twitching entrance.

“Ugh, uh…….Ahhh…….”

Shivering from his extraordinary touch, Lyle rose from his seat, holding
Medea. Still dazed by her climaxes, he hugged and kissed Medea in his
arms.

“Ummm…….”

Chapter 77:

A teardrop fell from Medea’s blinking eyes as she swallowed her breath at
the touch of Lyle’s hands stroking her between her thighs again. His fingers
came between her lower lips he had licked earlier, rubbing through her
convulsing flesh without relenting.

“*Gasp*!”
Medea twisted under the sensual stimulus. Her body was heated by his
touch that had, at first, delicately stirred her and now was rough and
feverish.

“You’re tight. I can see how much you want to taste me seeing how much
you are twitching and convulsing on me.”

As he licked his lips, Lyle pulled his fingers out of Medea.

Ohh

Medea swallowed her breath as Lyle turned her around and took his penis
in his hand.

“Ugh…….”

The wait was too long. Lyle had been desperate to fuck Medea. He felt like
he had been waiting all day.

“Ah!”

She felt her ass cheeks being spread apart and he inserted his tip. He
pushed in without a surprise at the sight of himself in the mirror.

“Gasp!”

Her deep pink entrance opened wide and the magnificent penis was
swallowed down to his roots.

Medea, who witnessed the grotesque scene through the mirror, was
speechless by the debauchery. Her entrance, which has already swallowed
Lyle’s desire to the root, was twitching…… as if she wanted more of him.
Her face heated up.

“Uh…….”

Even though he had already pushed it deep, Lyle thrusted again as if to

make sure there was no place to push in further. Medea’s back flinched as
his tip squished her inside.

“Ugh! Unngh, ahh…….”

Watching Medea moan in the mirror, Lyle smiled as if he was greatly
satisfied. When he reached out and grabbed her trembling breasts, Medea
lifted her head and took in the sight of them in the mirror.

“Umm…….”

Medea was embarrassed when she found a woman with a shyly sensual
expression. She didn’t know she had this look on her face. On top of that,
her flinching pussy was constantly pouring clear liquid even though it was
holding Lyle’s enormous organ.

“Ha… I can’t stand it.”

As he trembled at the whispered words, a large penis pulled out.

“Gasp! Gasp!”

Her insides tugged at him due to the sense of loss. The whole stomach
seemed to shrink due to the lustful stimulus spreading along her spine.

Then at that moment, Lyle began to relentlessly thrust into her.

“Ahhh! *Gasp*! Ahh! Whoa!”

His hot and large pillar constantly dug into her with a lewd bulge on her
lower stomach. With a constant sweet shudder, Medea struggled to escape
from Lyle’s arms, only to be deeply fucked.

Her wet insides seemed to melt with pleasure, he widened her insides as
Lyle buried himself to his roots and twirled in her insides.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah! Yeah! Ahhh! Oh, my gosh!

Her body, which had reached her zenith instantly, was held in Lyle’s arms,
as his waist shook violently up and down, thrusting into her. Medea
shuddered and sobbed with lustful pleasure. The strange stimulation that
filled her stomach sweetly tormented Medea without a break.

“Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Noo… Ah! It’s melting me! Ahhh,

ewwwow!”
While struggling, she felt the second and third peaks coming. Medea
struggled in Lyle’s arms, raising her sexy voice. Her convulsing flesh
poured out of love juice, and a sticky sound resonated loudly into the
bathroom.

“Ha! Ah! Ah! Ahhhhhhhh……. Ahh! Ahhhhhh!”

She was so overwhelmed by the lustful sensations that she felt like she
was going crazy. She couldn’t think of anything but Lyle’s penis, whose
whole body trembled when she penetrated by the obscene feelings that
spread to her toes.

“Oh, oh, oh…Aaaaaaah!

As Lyle tasted his pinnacle, he ejaculated inside Medea. Medea also

collapsed into Lyle’s chest, tasting a huge apex again.

“*Sigh*, *sigh*hhhhaaa…….Ummmm….”

Listening to Lyle’s harsh breathing, Medea felt a sweet sense of

satisfaction.

She glanced at the mirror at the feeling of semen leaking out of her
entrance, and turned bright red. Lyle’s penis was deeply inserted, and the
sight of a hazy semen trickling down through it was truly suggestive.

“…Shall we wash up now?”

Lyle whispered in a passionate tone. Medea, who was enjoying herself the
afterglow, mumbled, unable to look directly at herself in the mirror.

“Well, let’s start with this.….”

“Take it out,” said Medea in a tiny slow voice. Lyle chuckled and lifted
Medea’s ass up with his waist.

“Oh, uh huuhhh!”

Lyle’s penis was still frighteningly passionate, Medea shivered at the

feeling of being lift up from inside. Lyle said, pleased with the strange
response from Medea,
“I will do it this way. When I’m excited while washing you, I can embrace
you right away…….”

“What?”

Medea was astonished as if lightning had struck her on a clear day. Lyle
grinned and nuzzled Medea’s waist.

“Hey, shall we go into the bathtub like this?”

“Yes? Oh, no! Your Majesty, if you move now……. Whoa ……I don’t want
to!”

Lyle, who lifted Medea’s waist with one arm, walked to the bathtub.
Everytime Lyle took a step his cock which moved left and right up and
down, driving Medea crazy.

“Huhh, huhh, yeah……I don’t want to……. Stop, ahhhhh.”

Lyle laughed as if he was having fun, as Medea trembled on his cock.

Chapter 78:

Lyle stepped into the bathtub and sat down, and then set Medea on his lap.

“Uh hugh…….”

As she shook under the sweet sensation, Lyle began to greedily fondle
Medea’s body.

Now, Lyle felt her react no matter where he touched her. Lyle’s breath got
rough as he felt Medea get stirred up between his legs as his lewd touches
provoked her.

“Haaaaahhaaa…. My Empress… Do you already want to do it again?”

“Oh, no…No, it’s not…Oh, no, it’s not like that.…. Hmmm…….”
“No, you are squeezing and sucking mine so deep……. It feels great. Don’t
worry I’ll give the Empress an unbearable amount of affection—so much
you won’t be able to stand it.”

Recalling Sid’s words to relax, Lyle churned and flexed his penis while
deep inside her abdomen. When it lustfully rubbed her insides, sparks flew
in front of her eyes.

“Ohhh! Ahh! Oh, my god!”

Lyle lovingly hugged a sobbing and struggling Medea, as he began to covet

her for a second time. It seemed like holding back was a powerful tactic.

It seemed that the strange sensation threatened to overflow after filling her
stomach. Medea sobbed helplessly, drinking saliva filling her mouth.

Medea’s legs were spread apart and lifted by Lyle’s thighs at his will. Her
slender ankles captured, Medea wept and lewdly moaned.

It felt so good. She felt like she was going to lose her mind.

About a third of the water in the bathtub had been spilled while she
struggled with obscene impulses. As she tasted another climax [of which
she couldn’t keep track of], Medea looked at the tip of her toes curling in
the air.

Firecrackers exploded in his head, and a strange sensation hit his whole
body as if her body were floating. There were no rollercoasters in this
world, but it seemed as if she felt that weightless feeling while on the crest
of a drop and a sense of dizziness washing over her.

“UHhhhh….aaaaahhhhhhh, ah, ah, ahh…….”

Although he was usually great in bed, he was particularly persistent today

as if he planned this before. Medea tried to run away twice due to
excessive stimulation, but it was impossible. From her middle, her legs
were completely weak and she could not get up with her own strength.

“Ha……. Haaa….… Ooohh, yes…….”

Medea slumped when his penis pulled out of her. She was surprised that
she didn’t lose her mind even though he had embraced her so much. Her
body trembled with lingering feelings and the afterglow of her orgasms with
her private parts still contracting.

“Haaa….…. Medea ………..”

Lyle turned Medea’s body around with a satisfied face as if the affair in the
bathtub had filled his heart. Before she had lean her back against Lyle’s
chest and now they were facing each other. Medea held Lyle’s neck
reflexively.

“Uh… Your Majesty, um…….”

As if it were natural, their lips overlapped with an intense kiss and saliva
exchanging between them. He was so happy at this sweet moment when
he was kissing and embracing her body closely.

Medea curled her legs around Lyle’s waist as if she were in a good mood,
and Lyle smiled,

“Did you feel that good?”

Medea’s face heated up at his whispered question.

Lyle chuckled and began to fiddle with Medea’s body leaning against his
chest. Since she had a sensitive body that was still in the afterglow, Medea
gasped,

“Oh, Your Majesty……. Ah, not yet…….”

“No can do.”

When Medea twisted under Lyle’s touch, rubbing herself against his chest.
Excitedly, Lyle’s eyes lit up, grabbed Medea’s ass, and pushed her fingers
between her legs.

“Ha! Your Majesty…….”

“Look, it’s still tight.….”

He inserted fingers, stroking and caressing her lower lips wet with her
honey, watching Medea’s face as she panted and shook her head in
embarrassment.

“No, no, no, uh……. Lyle don’t bother……. Aaah!”

When he bent his fingertips and thrusted in her inner tunnel, Medea
bounced back and sobbed.

Lyle, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Medea’s ass and thrusted his
penis in.

“Oh, yeah huuhh! Ah, Your Majesty……. Ahh!”

“This time, you call my name every time you cum. If you call me Your
Majesty, not Lyle, or forget to call out my name as you climax, you will be
punished.”

Medea nodded reflexively at his fierce whispering words, as he stroked her

back. Lyle laughed as if he was pleased and began to thrust into her in
earnest.

***

Would this be enough?

Lyle wondered as he stroked Medea’s cheek as she slept.

Even though she fell asleep deeply, she weakly groaned when Lyle stroked
her.

Lyle sighed deeply and glanced over Medea’s naked body. The woman’s
body, which had a clear trace of the affair, was enchantingly beautiful.
When he thought that all those traces were inscribed by himself, he even
welled up pride.

He was thinking about sleeping without taking his cock out of her. He
thought it would be difficult to sleep with it inserted because both Medea
and Lyle’s bodies were sensitive.

“Millie……. Medea …….”

When he sang her name quietly, Medea in his arms tossed and turned. He
kissed her on the cheek and pulled the blanket over them both.

Lyle hugged Medea in a delighted mood and went to sleep. A happy smile
graced his mouth as joy filled his heart.

***

Lying on the Duke’s bed [t1v: pretty sure the author meant she’s a guest
bed in the Duke’s palace], Seira stared up at the ceiling blankly.

It was a high ceiling. No room in her home had a ceiling this tall.

Was this okay? She wanted to achieve her dream, but her heart felt heavy
because it seemed she had deceived those who trusted her. She felt so
grateful for being invited to the capital and being given a chance—and now
she had been even invited to stay at the duke’s residence.

But the dice had already been cast, and there were no takebacks.

It had been discovered that Ian had been poisoned. He was slowly being
treated, so she would have to go down to her hometown and change her
identity when his body fully recovered.

So until then…….

Even if it was for a very short time, she wanted to live as a knight. Of
course, the first thing she needed to do was pass the knight’s examination.

Seira had 4 months left. It was both a long and a short time.

Determined that she would definitely pass the exam, Seira went to sleep.
The day would be too short for all the training she needed to do from
tomorrow.

***
Chapter 79:

Hiccup…….

Whenever she moved her legs, it felt like semen was dripping down. With
her face dyed red, Medea carefully lifted Lyle’s arms very slowly, which had
been holding her waist.

Last night seemed to have caused Lyle to feel tired in his own way. Medea
deliberately raised Lyle’s arm and slipped out of his arms.

“Huh?”

As Medea tumbled her legs out of the bed, she felt a stabbing pain
traveling from my toes to my head as if she had moved her body wrong.

“Uh…….”

Medea glanced at Lyle, who was still sleeping, and sighed with relief. He
didn’t wake up from her movements or sounds.

Medea gingerly tiptoed across the floor as her knees shook. As her hips
moved, semen piled up inside flowed down her entrance.

“…….”

Even though it was the end of autumn and cool inside the palace, her face
was burning despite the weather.

Medea tried to pull her eyes away from her thighs and hobbled into the
bathroom. Without knowing that Lyle, who was pretending to be asleep,
was secretly watching her from behind.

When Medea’s figure disappeared into the bathroom, Lyle quietly pulled
the blanket off of himself. It was cute and sad to see Medea walking with
her legs trembling.

‘Should I go and hug her?’

But could he stop himself at just cuddling? Of course, he’d want to touch
her, and if he touched her, he’d want to insert himself in her.

Even if his desire was deep, it was too deep. Fortunately, his desire was
confined to one person, Medea. If he had tried to embrace many women
like the former emperor, he would have felt disgusted with himself.

‘Can’t we do it one more time?’

Lyle thought as he looked down on his lower body, which was erect and full
of power, maybe because it was morning wood or a side effect of watching
Medea in the nude. He thought he had more energy than was necessary.

Since they had already started, he thought it would be fun to push Medea
until she couldn’t get out of bed, as Sid advised.

***

Fortunately, the bathroom was clean. Medea remembered that there was a
door for the maids and locked it and then approached the bathtub.

The water facilities in this world were pretty good, so there was also a
faucet. Although the general populace didn’t have access to plumbing, hot
water was available all year round for the imperial palace, loyal readers of
that1villainess and the houses of high-status aristocrats.

She checked the water, scooped it up with a bucket, washed herself, and
looked down between her thighs. The semen was still flowing out little by
little.

‘I have to wash up before the maids come.….’

Still, she got used to it, Medea could move even though she had suffered
so much last night. Even though she was not the main character, he was
quick to adapt to it because she was a character in a romance novel that
was rated R-19.
‘No, you’re supposed to be already dead.’

She was also supposed to be a villain.

Medea, who had sprayed water on her lower entrance, sighed. No matter
how much she wiped it off, it seemed to keep flowing out.

‘I don’t want to put my finger in it and scoop it out.….’

The semen is also the remnant of Lyle, and inserting a finger while Lyle’s
semen lingered within her had the same effect as when Lyle touched her
directly.

‘Lyle’s still in the room.…. If your moan leaks out, you’ll be attacked.’

Medea’s cheeks grew red, recalling what she had been embracing Lyle
since morning.

Well, no, I don’t think that’s too bad either…….Just do it?

She hesitated and carefully poured water between his legs, and a large
palm circling from behind her ass stroked between Medea’s legs.

“*Gasp*!”

Surprised, he hugged her bouncing body from behind. Lyle hugged

Medea’s naked body and fondled her wet body.

“Ah……. Aang…….”

She felt aroused even when he was lightly sweeping down her breast. As
Medea’s breath quivered, Lyle grabbed her breasts and squeezed them.

“I went into the bathroom and wondered what you were doing.…. Was it not
enough for me to do it?”

“Uh-huh, ah-huh.…. No, it’s not……. sir, I’m going to wash up.….
Ugh…….”

He grabbed her breast with both hands and teased them with his growing
desire. Her breasts shook greatly and even the nipples stood firm.
“I saw the empress rubbing between her legs. But you’re going to back out
now?”

Chapter 79:

“Hmm… heh… umm……my semen keeps flowing out…….”

When he rubbed the tip of her nipples she flinched.

Lyle smiled mischievously and extended his bold stare between Medea’s
legs. As he said, his semen was still flowing out little by little.

“Hmm. I don’t think it’s just semen”.

“Oh!”

He gently rubbed between her legs and penetrated her opening. Medea
looked back at Lyle in tears.

“Ah, y—your Majesty……. It— it’s too much……. ahh! Please…….”

“I’m going to bathe the Empress…What were you expecting?”

She wasn’t planning on getting out of bed all morning, so it was a good
idea to do it now.

Medea’s body trembled as Lyle stirred her wet flesh with his inserted
fingers.

“Haahh, ah… no… From the morning, ahhhh……!”

“You’re soaked for something like that.”

With a grin, he stroked her vaginal wall. Medea reached a loud orgasm.

Lyle turned around and hugged a limp Medea who was panting and
sweetly smiled.
“Spread your legs, Empress. I’m dying to have you.”

Medea hesitated at the whispered words that felt like a soft kiss falling from
his lips and intoxicating her. It was embarrassing to do such a thing in the
morning, but Medea knew how good it felt to be embraced by Lyle.

“Oh, then… Just a little bit….”

“Okay, just a little bit.”

Of course, their standards for “a little” were very different between Lyle and
Medea.

When Medea wavered while spreading her legs, Lyle grabbed one of her
legs and lifted her up. Her pubic hair was exposed and shiny as her
entrance was twitching as if asking for something.

“Hmm- Were you looking forward to it?”

He teased her as he stared at her core with a fierce gaze. Medea didn’t
know how to respond.

“Oh, no……. Ohh, Anngh! Ahh!”

Suddenly, his penis stretched her wet lower mouth to its limit as Medea and
Lyle gasped and grunted. Lyle whispered as he grabbed and squeezed
Medea’s ass as he held and lifted her up by her buttocks.

“Wrap your legs around my waist.”

“Ahh, yeah…Ummm…”

Her whole body was trembling with the obscene heat filling her stomach.
Medea hung off of Lyle’s neck while trying to wrap her legs around Lyle’s
waist. Lyle fondled Medea’s butt as he held up her and then began to thrust
with rhythm.

“Gasp! No! It’s… Oh, my! Your majesty!

“Hmm… Good, Millie……. Just like that…….”

“Ah! Oh! Oh! Oh! Ahhh, already……. Lyle……. Unngh!”

His cock was swallowed to his roots by her own weight and made her wild.
She was pierced by an obscene pleasure bouncing around her entire body,
savoring those lewd stimuli.

“Ahhh…. Ah! Ah! Ah! Lyle….…Ang! Ang! It feels so goo— good! Oh my

god!

Lyle gasped as he thrusted and fucked Medea, who was moaning and
desperately hanging on to him. Her head was so deeply dyed in lust and
elation that it made her dizzy.

“Great… Millie……. More….”

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Yes! Ohhh! Ohhh…!”

Lyle still had a long way to go, but Medea didn’t last long and reached a
zenith. Lyle shook his back with a frightening intensity. Medea, who
became more sensitive after tasting her peak, cried, saying she was dying.

“Haaa! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…… No, now! Yes! Ang! Lyle……!”

Even if she cried and begged, he couldn’t hear her now. She had to feel
more.

***

Medea’s body trembled as she returned to the bedroom wrapped in a large

towel.

While the Emperor and the Empress spent time in the bathroom, the maids
cleaned and organized the bed and the room. Lyle laid Medea in the middle
of the large bed and took off the towel.

“Haaa…” [breath out sfx]

Her shaking and feebly breathing appearance struck Lyle as both erotic
and beautiful. He ecstatically looked over Medea’s nudeness before gently
caressing her cheek.

“Rest while I’m gone. When I come back… I’ll cherish you again.”

Medea’s face heated up at his whispering words. He wanted to do it again

after they had already done it from last night to the morning?

She thought perhaps he was just joking but when Medea saw Lyle’s
insatiable gaze on her unclad body, it didn’t seem like empty words.

Lyle laughed as a frightened Medea pulled up her blanket and covered her
body. Lyle encircled Medea’s cheeks with both hands and kissed her
gently.

“I love you, Medea…….”

Medea’s eyes widened at the unexpected confession of love. Lyle once

said something similar in the midst of the lustful fervor during a passionate
affair, but it was the first time he said it out loud with a sober mind.

Lyle smiled at a startled Medea, kissing her cheeks and forehead, and left
the bedroom.

“…….”

What? Are you serious?

The moment she heard Lyle’s words, her heart stopped beating and then
began to loudly pound.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As her heart ran a mile a minute Medea hid her face under the blanket.

What should I do? I think I’m feverish.….

***
Chapter 80:

While breakfast was being served by the maids Medea pondered over the
plot of the novel.

The novel had already changed beyond recognition.

The beginning of the novel started with the funeral of Empress Medea and
the death of Ian.

Medea’s funeral had not been a focal point of the novel, in fact, it started a
few days after the national funeral was held.

After that, Ian was murdered, and Seira began managing the land by
burying Ian’s body in a cemetery under her name, pretending to be her
older brother.

After spending the late autumn and winter like that, she catches the
Emperor’s eye by helping Lyle, who is in disguise, and comes out to
inspect her estate in early spring. Lyle hides his status as Emperor and
suggests that Seira take the knight’s examination.

Seira comes up to the capital to take the knight’s test to evade reiterated
threats from her uncle. Seira, who passed the test with flying colors and the
top score, becomes Lyle’s escort knight. Around the same time, a princess
from another country appears and stays at a separate palace and talks to
Lyle directly.

Lyle pretends to be looking for the next Empress to keep the nobility in
check and suppress them. While he does this he finds out that Seira is a
woman and falls in love.

‘I’m alive, so it’s not going to happen?’

The plot of the novel is based on the premise of looking for the next
Empress.

But now the Empress was still alive, wanted to live quietly, and was even
favored by the Emperor. The soul of the daughter of the Duke was no
longer around, and the princess from another country who offered Lyle a
political marriage while hiding a lover was not present.

There was even a nobleman who raised a woman to Lyle’s taste(?) to wrap
Lyle around his finger, but instead, he was distant and repulsed.

‘Since it’s already changed so much… It’ll be okay, right?’

From mid-spring to summer, when the novel begins ardently…… Then in

late autumn after the Emperor and Seira marry and go on honeymoon the
novel ends with the announcement of the imperial pregnancy.

‘If I have a son, I want to call him Ian.’

Those are Seira’s words.

“Your majesty, may I serve dessert now?”

“Oh… Yeah.”

Medea, who had come to her senses, raised her head.

With being embraced day and night, won’t it be likely she was already
pregnant? With that thought in mind, Medea figured she must already be
with child.

Medea looked at the maid.

“There’s a clinic in the Imperial palace, right? If there is a woman in the

clinic, would you call her?”

***

After asking for a woman, Medea found out there were no female doctors;
the imperial clinic sent out a doctor with a soft and gentle face with a
feminine spirit instead. The doctor approached Medea timidly.

“Your majesty, may this doctor examine you?”

“Okay.”
Unlike his weak appearance, there was no problem with his skills. Upon
examination, his face brightened.

The maid’s ears perked up when they noticed the doctor’s serious eyes lit
up and he smiled brightly.

“As you may have already guessed, you are pregnant. Congratulations,
Your majesty.”

“Your majesty! Empress! Congratulations!”

The maids were delighted and rushed to bless Medea.

Medea was happy but her heart was also complicated. The child between
Medea and Lyle was a child who did not exist in the novel. Would her child
be born safely and grow up well? Worry overtook her.

“Hurry, let’s quickly send His majesty this news……!”

“Yes, do it like that.”

Medea authorized it with a calm face.

Lyle was currently in a political meeting right now, but it won’t be a problem
to interrupt the Empress’s pregnancy. Rather, it would be better to let the
servants know. He could solidify his power and position by establishing a
successor.

“Your majesty, is there anything you want to eat?”

“Your majesty, it’s better if you warm up.”

“Your majesty!”

“Empress!”

The maids who originally fiercely served Medea, now stood by Medea with
great enthusiasm. In the past, they fretted about Medea hitting her head
again and going back to her original state, but now they were hopeful and
confident about the future.
“Millie!”

The door to the living room suddenly opened and Lyle rushed in. It was
clear that he had come running as soon as he heard that Medea was
pregnant.

“Your Majesty, I thought you were still in a political meeting …….”

“The political meeting is not important. I heard that you are with child. Is
that true?

As Medea smiled and nodded, Lyle’s face shone brightly. Lyle was about to
squeeze Medea, but when he saw the maids freak out, she ended up
hugging her.

“Thank you, Medea. From now on…… I’ll do a great job.”

Medea’s mood improved as she saw Lyle’s thrilled face.

Lyle carefully placed Medea in a chair and asked how long she had a child.

“It’s been 3 weeks since the last period so the child was conceived in
September.”

He asserted that the child would be born near the end of summer. Lyle
grinned as he realized the date of their affair that led to pregnancy.

“Why?”

“I passionately coveted you that day because I felt you were exceptionally
cute, and I thought you had a child.”

At those words said in the presence of all the maids, Medea looked around
in surprise. Medea’s maids pretended not to hear it and quietly avoided her
gaze and looked away.

“You’re lying! How can you remember what happened 3 weeks ago!

“Why can’t you remember? I even remember what you said shivering under
me. ‘Your Majesty, I feel like I’m going to die.…. I can’t do it anymore.’ You
cried so adorably while I was doing it.” [t1v: omg ded.]
At Lyle’s laughing words, Medea pinched Lyle’s arm mercilessly. The
maids quickly and quietly retreated from the bedroom.

When all of them went out and only two of them were left, Medea hit Lyle’s
arm as if she were frustrated.

“Medea.”

“I don’t know! How could you say something like that …….”

Lyle sighed happily, as he embraced a whining Medea in his arms.
