The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 475 This is too much!

　　Although it wasn't that strange for the crimson-haired girl to tease her from time to time, Cynthia knew that the real reason she was receiving the 'special treatment' these days was because she had denied being introduced to the 'mortals' that Emilia favored.

　　Of course, while she looked down on mortals in general, Cynthia normally wouldn't go through so much trouble without reason. If it only took a few minutes of her summoning time to let the mortal girls stare at her magnificence in awe, the raven-haired girl really didn't mind doing her partner this favor.

　　The real risk in doing so, however, lay in the existence of the 'world will'. 

　　Even if it was only a child-like existence with a very low level of intelligence in this world, the one thing Cynthia knew would absolutely trigger it into a frenzy would be seeing her face.

　　No matter which 'world will' it was or what condition it was in… there was no way it would fail to recognize her.

　　Cynthia could only groan in frustration. "Seriously… how long are you going to hold this grudge?"

　　Emilia blinked at her in confusion. "What grudge?"

　　The raven-haired girl sighed. "I already told you… the 'world will' can connect to the collective thoughts of all the mortals in the world, and it's not impossible for it to stumble across my face by pure chance if one of the mortals here sees me! It may be childish and unable to understand it all, but this is one thing in which we can't afford to take the chance!"

　　Of course, the heroine's consciousness wouldn't be included in this because of her special circumstances, but Cynthia didn't tell her that.

　　Emilia nodded obediently. "Yes, yes, I know. Didn't you already tell me this? I'll wait for the 'world will' to be completely destroyed before introducing you to big sister and the others, no problem."

　　As for the reason she kept teasing her partner… wasn't it because her reactions only kept getting more and more cute the more 'frustrated' she became? 

　　Emilia knew that even if her will was ten times stronger, there was no way she could resist!

　　Unaware of her partner's strange thoughts, Cynthia almost screamed in frustration 'why do you still keep teasing me, then?!', but she 'knew' it would be pointless to ask such a thing.

　　Not even acknowledging it while taking revenge on such a petty grudge, how villainous was this? As much as it frustrated her, the raven-haired girl couldn't help but admire her partner in her heart. 'If I knew she was such a genius in becoming whatever I wanted her to be… I definitely would have picked something different!'

　　It wasn't because she didn't like Emilia being a 'villainess', but because this villainess was just… too naughty! How could she keep favoring those mere mortals while teasing her dearest partner like this?!

　　Unfortunately, it was already too late to regret, and Cynthia could only sigh in defeat. 'I guess now that I've made my bed, I can only lie in it.'

　　It didn't take long for Tom's vital signs to start changing, and the team responsible for monitoring him quickly conveyed the results to the secretary of the empress.

　　Of course, Emilia wasn't very happy to be 'disturbed' during her 'reunion' with Crystal after being apart for quite a few days. 

　　"Bring him in, then."

　　Alexandria wasn't surprised by the 'displeased' tone of her empress through the phone, and only acknowledged her obediently before signaling the soldiers behind her to move forward.

　　Since they had already moved the 'subject' close enough for Emilia's convenience, it didn't take long for them to knock on the door to the room she was staying in temporarily.

　　"Princess, may we enter?"

　　"Yes!"

　　The voice on the other side was a little more hoarse than she expected, but since the acknowledgment was clear, Alexandria opened the door while trying her best to cover the line of sight of the 'prisoner' being dragged behind.

　　Fortunately, Emilia wasn't in as bad a state as she imagined, and aside from a few hickeys being visible through her haphazardly buttoned dress, she was more or less in a 'presentable' condition.

　　If one could ignore the gorgeous girl's half-lidded eyes and slightly swollen lips, that is.

　　To her credit, Crystal at least looked a little embarrassed as she pretended to stare at a far-off wall unblinkingly, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world, while Dixie just kept her eyes trained on the 'prisoner'.

　　The older woman couldn't help but gulp. 'C-Can the princess take two of them at once…? No, Dixie must definitely have been just watching… right?'

　　Unaware of her secretary's strange thoughts, Emilia gave her a satisfied nod. "I'll call you when I need him dragged back, alright?"

　　Alexandria naturally felt a little 'uncomfortable' in her heart, but she still withdrew along with the rest of the soldiers reluctantly. "Yes, princess."

　　Once they were gone, Crystal finally breathed a sigh of relief while giving her lover a playful glare. "See? I told you they must be almost here, but we still almost got caught!"

　　Emilia grinned. "Weren't you the one who refused to let go of my dress while saying that, though?"

　　The blonde girl coughed in embarrassment. "Y-You can't blame me, it's been a while, and… you're just… t-too pretty to resist!"

　　Emilia blinked in surprise before pulling the girl over to kiss her cheek. "You've become such a cute little flirt, angel! Should I keep a closer eye on you so you can't give me a whole bunch of green hats?"

　　Crystal couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Although we love you, aren't you the least qualified one to be saying that?"

　　Emilia giggled as she bit the girl's soft earlobe playfully. "Okay, okay, you got me."

　　Meanwhile, Tom, who was left bound and kneeling on the ground with his existence seemingly forgotten, could only stare at the frivolous behavior of this 'empress' in disbelief.

　　Although he knew that monarchs were usually 'self-indulgent' to an extent, wasn't this girl being a bit too much?!
