Who Stole The Empress

Chapter 40: That’s right

A satisfied smile appeared on Tamons lips.

Then, in a flash, he knelt down and grabbed her by the ankle.

Well then, I guess this is mine now.

Surprised, Roselyn tried to back away, but it was only after the captured ankle had already been lifted.

Roselyn grabbed a post supporting the deck for balance. Tamon kissed her casually on the top of her gently lifted ankle.

Once again, Roselyn was sure of her thoughts.

Tamon was a pervert

***

Kak!

A dry cough poured out as if tearing up his lungs.

Gillotti covered his mouth as he coughed.

KakKakkak!

The coughing sound continued.

Nervously rubbing his forehead, he couldnt take it anymore and called for his immediate attendant.

Attendant!? Bring me the medicine! Right now!

At his shout, a servant came running in with a pale face.

As soon as he saw the servant, Gillotti threw the pillow he was holding at him.

I dont think the medicine has a single effect! Now, bring me another potion immediately! 

Your Majesty! Dr. Heintzel said that any more medicine would only worsen the symptoms. Even though its painful, please be patient for a little while!

D*mn it! My heart is about to break! Do you want me to endure? You want me to die right now! Arent you still a pawn of the dead empress! 

What are you talking about? Your Majesty! I am John Narteso, attendant to Your Majesty since I was ten years old. How can I deceive Your Majesty!

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Crouched on bed, Gillotti gritted his teeth as he breathed heavily.

After the Empress died, Gillottis headaches had gotten worse, until one day he couldnt stand it anymore unless he took medicine.

He even developed a cough, which he hadnt had before, and his voice cracked, and he didnt even want to listen to anyone. 

Its the Empress curse. That woman. Its her curse!

Gillotti gritted his teeth as she thought of Roselyn, who tormented him even after death.

Those piercing purple eyes that looked straight at him when he stared at her as she lay dying in the underground prison.

Roselyns purple eyes had always been so feminine, even when he held her cold body in his arms shortly after they were married.

The eyes that were forced to look down with a slight frown, as if enduring a hard time.

She didnt let out a groan, nor did she make any effort to do so.

Just thinking about those shining purple eyes, as if they could see through him, made him angrier.

Evil woman!

He pulled out all of Roselyns nails, but she didnt even scream. Instead, her venom flared up and she spat out a ridiculous curse at him.

I wont forgive you. Gillotti Tanatos, I will never forgive you.

Gillotti whipped Roselyns smooth back until there were no more signs of skin.

How dare you curse me? You came in for me and you had to obey me! You shouldnt have looked at me like my father!

Tears of blood flowed from Roselyns eyes.

Her white cheeks were stained with tears and blood, and her purple eyes, which were shining brightly above them, were terrifying.

I should have cut out those eyes.

Gillotti gritted his teeth. He was being generous because she was already in a miserable state.

Yes, lets see if you win or I win, Empress.

Gillotti, who had opened his eyes wide, jumped up from his seat.

It must be completely uprooted. It must be erased from this country!

When he was this angry, Natasha used to come over and comfort him.

She would hug him in her soft arms. Her embrace was as warm as spring and as soft as a mothers.

But she began to deftly avoid him when Gillotti began to cough.

Didnt His Majestys precious seed get planted in Natashas belly? Mothers endure hard times, sometimes holding back what they miss and the food they want to eat for the sake of their children. Your Majesty, this is all for the sake of your child, so please understand.

Gillotti didnt know how to endure for the sake of a child who was yet to be born. He immediately got angry and came to get her.

At first he tried to have her, despite the doctors order that he had to be careful.

No, if it wasnt for Natashas amazing tricks, he would have.

Isnt it necessary to take Your Majesty to your climax? Your Majesty, dont suffer too much. If you suffer, Natasha will be even more sad. I will soothe Your Majesty with Natashas humble talent.

He thought she only had a talent for pouring out sweet words, but her mouth had a great variety of uses.

However, that was only once or twice.

I am your woman, even though the fever in my body is boiling up and killing me, and behaved cautiously so as not to see him from now on.

B*tch.

Breathing roughly, Gillotti immediately called for the infantry.

The commander of the 2nd Infantry rushed to him and knelt before him.

Go at once and burn Roselyns mansion. Burn it all down so that nothing is left.

The infantry commander didnt raise his head, but he couldnt help but feel his shoulders tremble slightly.

With his head down, he clenched his teeth.

I have to be patient. I could endure it then, I can endure it now.

But the Emperors next words made him raise his head.

And.

Dig up the tombs of her ancestors and throw it into its flames.

The infantry commander stared at the emperor with white, frightened eyes. His eyes, which had opened in shock, were trembling.

What are you doing! Go and execute it right now! 

Your Majesty! Thats..thats..!

It was to humiliate the deceased.

They were great aristocrats who devoted their lives to this country.

But digging up the tombs of the predecessors of Sunset, who were devoted to Tanatos from the previous Emperor and this Emperor himself.

The infantry commander banged his head on the floor and begged for the order to be withdrawn.

But what came back was a kick from Gillotti.

Do you think there is no one to carry out the order but you! Hey, put him in the dungeon right away!

Your Majesty, I beg you, no more!

Betrayal of the Heavenly Law!

The 2nd Infantry Commander Weekley Danhover pleaded to the end, but Gillotti coldly averted his gaze.

After the walk on the beach, Tamon and Roselyn took a seat on the terrace overlooking the seaside and had a little early dinner.

Since coming to Amor, Roselyn has been well taken care of every day.

It was literally.

It was what happened.

She slept, ate, rested, read, and listened to music.

During the day, she cooled off the heat with moderately cold water, and at night, after taking a bath with warm water, she slept with the breeze blowing gently.

In the meantime, her broken limbs had fully recovered.

Not only the new flesh, but also the nails and toenails that were pulled out raw came out beautifully.

The whip marks on her back and the chain marks on her ankles also completely disappeared, returning to her snow-white flesh.

Asrell and the twins didnt ask what happened, though they were amazed at Roselyns remarkable resilience.

They thought that she was saved by the priests of the temple or the precious medicines of royalty.

In this world, where divine power still lingered in some places, sometimes the events were quite absurd.

Anyway, while Roselyn was being taken care of in such a generous manner, Tamon said that he had taken care of some business that had been piling up.

Our king is a skeptic, and one whose senses have developed by leaps and bounds. Shes also simple. I managed to get away with it at the time with the silver deer, but there is still something strange about it. There are now more watchers around.

At Tamons words, Roselyn asked in a worried voice.

Or inside this mansion?

Yeah, maybe?

He shrugged and smiled as if it wasnt a big deal.

Roselyn couldnt help but be amazed at Tamons relaxation.

Ive heard that you and the king are not on bad terms, so why is she keeping an eye on you?

Tamon replied indifferently.

Well, were close. Weve helped each other out a lot. But I told you earlier. Theo has good instincts. And she trusts her instincts.

That means she sensed something strange about you. Or maybe she sensed it when she saw me that day.

 Probably both. Shes suspicious about us, but she couldnt interrogate us and there was no evidence, so she put surveillance on us.

He replied leisurely, slicing the third chunk of meat.

Roselyn glanced tiredly at the fourth plate of meat being filled in front of him, then gently lowered her fork.

Just one plate of seafood and a salad seasoned with lemon sauce was enough to fill her up.

Why dont you eat more?

I had enough.

It might be hard to hold on to that.

Tamon responded by slicing a piece of meat the size of a hand.

Hold on? What do you mean?

As he rinsed his mouth with cool ice water, Roselyn tilted her head and asked. Tamon looked at her, slicing his leftover meat and shoving it into his mouth.

The rhythmic articulation of his jaw was relaxed, like a beast of prey enjoying its food after a hunt.

Gulp.

A small bite of flesh was sucked into his throat. At that moment, Roselyn realized what he was talking about.

Make love.

She didnt think that was the way. ..

Her face flushed red and began to pale immediately.

She wanted to ask if her guess was right, but she couldnt open her mouth. With only her red lips twitching, Tamon chuckled and said.

Thats right. Thats what youre thinking right now.
